Lovely fortnight in Lyme Regis
This property is in an excellent location, close to the beach and excellent fish and chip shop and the town's microbrewery. The house was well equipt and comfortable. It was surprisingly quite for being in the centre of town. My only quibble was that it was described as having parking, but the parking was extra and not on the property. We ended up parking about 10 minutes walk from the house.

Lovely property
Had a few communication problems, delays in replying and incorrect telephone number. Despite that, the property is lovely & ideally placed for town centre and beach. Stairs and parking/unloading of car may prove an issue for some people, just to be aware. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay.

Week away with grandchildren
Charming little 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom cottage. Well laid out with a good kitchen and a decent sized dinner/sitting room, and surprisingly spacious with a small garden and ideal for two grandparents and two grandchildren of 4 and 7 years old. Stairs fine for all but the infirm. Spotlessly clean. Great location in Coombe Street in the heart of Lyme Regis. Altogether a delightful stay. Originally booked 3 nights and extended to a 6. Pleasant, helpful owner - anxious for his guests to be happy. Coombe Street is a tight little road so pull in where you can and pause just to dump your luggage and then utilize the permit for the car park close by up the hill. Almost without exception everyone working in the shops, pubs, bars and restaurants in a crowded Lyme were so kind to the kids despite being tired I am sure so late in the season. We know Lyme Regis well and have visited for decades and people were more friendly and helpful than we have ever known.

Nice centrally located property on a quiet street.
Excellent location and well appointed cottage with unfussy decor. Good sized bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. We stayed as a couple but would come again with our children.

Home from home close to the beach
We loved staying here in the autumn half term. The house is lovely with enough space for us all, good living rooms and bedrooms. It is a great location situated a few doors down from the dinosaur museum and within sight of a pub and an Italian restaurant, just five minutes walk from the beach. There was a problem with the drains while we were there but Mark got someone round while we were hunting fossils on the beach and it was all resolved. We are planning to come back here again.

Great find in the centre of Lyme
This cottage is a great base for exploring Dorset and Devon. Being in the centre of Lyme it was perfect for early morning and night dog walks on the beach. Also great for going to the brewery in an afternoon. The kitchen was very well equipped and was the one of the best we have found so far. The garden is fully enclosed which was ideal for our mini schnauzer who loves spending time outside in the garden. Only thing for people to note is that there is no car parking by the cottage but its only a 2 min walk to the public car park. We would recommend this cottage for people wanting to explore the area and be close to the sea.

Lavender Cottage
Comfy cottage situated in the heart of Lyme Regis. It has everything you need including two spacious bathrooms, one with a lovely walk-in shower. We had a really relaxing stay and would definitely visit again. The only downside is the lack of a parking space to the property but that is par for the course in Lyme Regis and there is a car park nearby.

Lovely cottage in the heart of Lyme Regis
I have fallen in love with Lyme Regis. The stay was too short. I liked having our own base and will definitely book this cottage again. The place sleeps 4 but there was only 2 of us but it was great to have that much space to ourselves so I would definitely recommend this over a hotel. There was a good size kitchen but we didn't cook but if we stayed longer we would have definitely cooked. It was super comfortable and close to everything. Thank you Mark.

Cosy and central
We arrived late Friday night. We knew the property was on a narrow lane so parked up first at the recommended car park. The car park is up a steep hill and we needed to return with the parking permit. You will need to be fairly fit for this. On opening the front door we were greeted to a warm welcoming room. Split over three levels both the deco and furnishings were very in keeping with the character of the cottage. The kitchen had everything we needed and the two bathrooms were ideal with two teenage boys in tow. We would prefer towels to be included in the total price and not as an added extra. We would return to this property.

Perfect little cottage
We didn't actually manage to stay for various reasons but did drop in to check on the property and it was a shame that we couldn't as it looked lovely. Well appointed, clean, cosy, great position and a charming garden. Would stay again if we were in the area. Thanks

Cosy Cottage near centre of town
Lovely small Cottage, for 4 people, with 2 bathrooms. Excellent position for exploring Lyme Regis and surrounding areas. Minor criticisms are that Shower door had broken runner and net curtains were precariously held up. Not suitable for people with mobility problems. We had a great time. Thank you.

Very disappointed
Lavender Cottage is in a fantastic location and has potential to be a lovely holiday home. It was clean, has everything you need but is a bit shabby and in need of modernisation. The newly refurbished kitchen is lovely but both bathrooms need attention and the sitting room is an assortment of mismatched furniture and not very comfortable. The shower cubicle was grotty, one of the doors was hanging off and the shower was running water all the time. It could not be switched off and was not pleasant to shower in. When we arrived we could not stop to unload the car where advised, since the area had been chained off and padlocked. The access code we were given was incorrect so we could not get into the cottage. The towels we paid extra for were not there - all minor points maybe, but add up to a disappointing first impression. Add to that the British weather which was not kind, resulted in us giving up and leaving after 2 nights!

Warm cosy functional cottage - Good location
The cottage was ideal for a short stay in Lyme Regis. The essential equipment was available, but things were a bit shabby eg chipped plates, saucepan handle loose, frying pan non stick surface damaged, sofa had seen better days. The bathroom equipment was clean, but the overall feeling of the downstairs was rather dusty. Would be good to get rid of the old tourist literature and remove the wobbly side table to make more room. We appreciate you offer a warm comfortable home from home suitable for children and animals, but the little touches do make a difference between having a good time and a keen desire to return. My comments are intended to help. Janie and I both had a lovely few days. Best wishes Lynda

Home from Home in Lyme Regis
Our holiday cottage was in an ideal spot for an easy few minutes walk to the sea, in a quiet street but very convenient for all the wonderful amenities offered in Lyme Regis. The cottage is a typical seaside home, with excellent amenities and home comforts, great kitchen, living area, and two double bedrooms both en suite. Everything you need for an excellent holiday base - fabulous restaurants and fish and chips literally a few doors down, pub, bakery with fantastic breakfast and best coffee we've tasted etc and friendly Italian restaurant. Everyone we met including the residents in the street were helpful, friendly and easy. The owner provided excellent customer service. We have no hesitation in recommending this delightful holiday cottage - some might see little areas of general updating required but why let something like this bother you when the majestic Jurassic coast is within a minutes reach!

Outstanding!!
We had a wonderful weeks stay in Lavender Cottage, it was exactly as described and in a perfect location, close to the beach and all the amenities and even had a small quiet local pub just a few doors away. We will definitely be back to stay again. Lyme Regis is the idyllic seaside town that hasn't lost its charm or any of its character. Lots to do and see in and around the town, great pubs and places to eat and it has perfect combination of pebble beach one end for those that want a bit more space and don't want sand in their toes, to a perfect sandy beach for our children at the other end. All in all no better location with stunning views, great walks and a beautiful unspoilt town to explore.

Excellent holiday
The accommodation was excellent and well equipped in the heart of the old town and so very close to three very good restaurants and bakery which baked 7 days a week.. Minor problem with lights was resolved same day. Garden though needed some tidying up.

Excellent location. Cosy cottage.
We had a wonderful stay in this lovely cottage which had everything we needed. With a bit of TLC in the garden, some minor fixes in the bathroom and new garden furniture this would be the perfect place for a holiday. We would still thoroughly recommend this property.

Lovely well appointed cottage in good central postion
It was a lovely cottage, we had stayed in Coombe St for many years and have been going to Lyme for over forty years. Lovely well appointed kitchen the only advice would be to have more than one mug, I bought another, and tumblers would be a good idea
