Sunnyside Cottage

About this property

Enjoying a superb setting in the rural idyll of Uplyme village near Lyme Regis in the heart of Dorset, is this attractive thatched cottage, Sunnyside Cottage. Perfect for large family groups, the cottage offers everything your holiday party will need for a well-equipped and enjoyable break. The cottage has been built into the hillside, meaning its elevated position allows it to offer some simply stunning views across the Lym Valley. Its welcoming sitting room has ample seating with an elegant dining room adjoining it, offering a sociable space with captivating countryside views. The kitchen is well-appointed and is fully fitted with all you could possibly need to rustle up delicious cuisine for your family and if you’re looking for a less formal setting to eat, there is an alternative table and chairs in here.

Talking of alternative spaces, there is a games room for the kids (and big kids!) to take themselves off to which houses a pool table, table football and air hockey. The gardens provide a great outdoor space so if the sun is shining, you can chill out on the decked veranda and enjoy time drinking and eating alfresco. When bedtime calls, guests can choose from either of the two king-sizes, a twin or a cool children’s bunk bedroom. All have impressive rural views and provide a relaxing oasis away from the hustle and bustle of holiday life. After a relaxing soak in the bath or a refreshing shower, you’re ready to hit the sights and sounds of Dorset so why not have a stroll into the picture-postcard charming village of Uplyme or venture slightly further afield with a browse around lovely Lyme Regis with its shops, cafes, restaurants, harbour, causeway and beach? It even has its own museum and aquarium.

Jump in the car for some family attractions nearby which include Tunnel Tree Tops high ropes and zip wire, Axe Valley Wildlife Park, Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, Seaton Tramway and Beer Quarry Caves. Sunnyside Cottage offers guest a delightful home-from-home for a holiday to remember.

The beautiful countryside surrounding the village of Uplyme, on the borders of Devon and Dorset, is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, criss-crossed by bridleways and footpaths including the East Devon Way, and providing perfect country walks and superb views. The area was chosen by TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall for his River Cottage HQ at Park Farm, where you can treat yourself to a great meal. Just a short drive takes you to the stunning Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis. This delightful historic seaside town boasts a maze of narrow streets, with an interesting array of shops and cafes, whilst the sandy beach lends itself to great bathing and watersports, and the bustling little harbour offers regular fishing trips, or try your hand at fossil hunting. Within an easy drive is the quaint town of Axminster, or how about a ride on the Seaton Tramway? A glorious location for a varied and interesting holiday.
