About this property
Boasting simply stunning views over Cobb Harbour in Lyme Regis in Dorset, is this beautifully presented split-level apartment, The Lookout. Perfect for a family or couples travelling together, the apartment occupies a superb location within a short walk of the centre of Lyme Regis. The apartment forms part of a tasteful conversion of an impressive Victorian property and offers some delightful features such as wood flooring and original ceiling beams as well as an attractive woodburning stove in the sitting area and large windows, making it a truly inviting and light-filled space. Arranged over two floors, the elevated position of the apartment means that it provides some breath-taking views over Cobb Harbour and beyond. The stylish kitchen is fully fitted with everything needed to rustle up a feast for your family and the dining area is all ready for you to pull up a chair and enjoy spending quality time together eating and drinking. When night comes, choose from the king-size bedroom which has captivating views over the harbour or the superbly appointed super-king-size bedroom. Both bedrooms offer a calming sanctuary away from the main space and are the perfect place to wake up to in the morning, ready for a day of adventures ahead. Head out on foot and check out what Lyme Regis has to offer; from a delightful selection of shops, boutiques, cafes and restaurants, the harbour and beaches to places such as Lyme Regis Philpot Museum and Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium.

The Lookout is where happy holiday memories are made.
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!

The only reason I havenât given it full marks was because the bed in the second bedroom is quite hard and uncomfortable. We are not used to that sort of bed. I suppose I would suggest a topper, which might make it more comfortable. We were able to pay for a weeks parking (£70) right next door to the lookout which was very useful.
