About this property
Boasting panoramic sea views, Starfish is an impressive second-floor apartment situated in a highly sought after area of Lyme Regis in Dorset. The ideal location for small families or couples travelling together, Starfish is the perfect base from which to explore the delights of Dorset. On entering the apartment there is a beautifully light and airy open-plan living space where light floods in and the views over the sea from the expansive windows are nothing short of spectacular. The sitting area is particularly inviting with ample seating and a feature window seat positioned in front of those all-important views. The small but perfectly formed kitchen is fully equipped with everything needed to create some delicious cuisine for your family and even has an attractive breakfast bar and stool, a great spot for chilling out and keeping the designated chef company. Once your meal has been prepared, step into the elegant dining area which is all laid out ready for you to enjoy long, lingering meals together and really get into the holiday vibe. As the sun sets and night falls, take your pick from either of the two well-appointed bedrooms; a king-size which comes complete with a TV or a stylish twin. In the morning you can hop into the contemporary shower room and enjoy an invigorating shower before heading out for a day of adventure. Talking of adventures, there is no shortage of excitement to be had with Lyme Regis literally on the doorstep and its fantastic beach, harbour and causeway as well as a great selection of shops and amenities. Lace up your walking boots for some fantastic walks along the 630 mile South West Coastal Path or jump in the car for a wealth of attractions for the whole family to enjoy including Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, Seaton Tramway, Beer Quarry Caves, Forde Abbey and Gardens and Pecorama. Dorset is all about the beaches so make sure you don’t miss Charmouth, West Bay, Chesil and Lulworth Cove. For a holiday to remember, Starfish is waiting for you.
The delightful seaside town of Lyme Regis has much to offer its visitors, boasting a maze of narrow streets filled with craft and antique shops, galleries and cafes. Take a stroll along the world-famous Cobb causeway overlooking the ancient harbour, where fishing trips can be enjoyed, or try your hand at fossil hunting in the area. The scenic coastal path offers excellent walking opportunities and spectacular views of the stunning Jurassic coast, whilst the gently shelving sands and sparkling waters of Lyme Bay provide the perfect place in which to relax and unwind. A holiday destination to savour!

perfect! I could not fault anything and the decor is very tasteful. WiFi is not great - just helpful for people to know in advance. Collecting key from the office was irritating. We arrived early and started to enjoy the beach, then realised the key was a 20 minute walk uphill away. This needs to be clearer. The long stay car park was £45 for 3 days and a 13 minute walk uphill - this wouldnât be easy for everyone and adds quite a bit to the holiday. Lastly the nearest car park to offload barely has any free spaces during the day and if you can get one it is still a 3 or so minute walk along the esplanade and then up 2 flights of stairs. We would absolutely stay again - just think this information clearly known in advance would be helpful to allow people to plan.

Please remind folk to turn on the WiFi booster. Didn't find it until holiday nearly finished. Parking . Got a ticket at council car park. I accidentally purchased a private car space by mistake. Shame. Not your fault.

Loved the little goodie bag left for us - the tea and coffee came in very handy as we got in late and did not have time to pick anything up before arrival. There was even a small container of milk for our tea and coffee which was a nice touch. We loved our stay and wish it had been for longer than just 5 days.
