Guests say
Guests have found 2 Kersbrook Gardens to be a well-equipped and spacious cottage with a convenient location close to local amenities in Lyme Regis. The property offers comfortable bedding, a well-stocked kitchen, and the bonus of parking. Some guests mentioned the property could benefit from updates and a deep clean, but overall, the stay was enjoyable with a homely feel.
The property was generally described as clean, with one mention of dog hair on a bed. Cleanliness seems to be well-maintained, though there is room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to shops, the beach, and other local amenities, making it a convenient choice for visitors.
The property is considered comfortable overall, with a particularly comfortable king size bed. However, some guests found the mattresses on the twin beds and the double bunk to be uncomfortable, and the sofas in need of replacement.
The facilities are well-regarded, especially the well-stocked kitchen. However, guests noted some maintenance issues such as difficult-to-open doors, a need for newer photos to reflect updates, and suggestions for minor improvements.
Guests appreciated the thoughtful touches like the bag of Dorset goodies and local decorations. While these gifts add to the experience, it's important to note that such extras are a delightful surprise and not guaranteed.
About this property
Emerging from the quaint town of Lyme Regis, Dorset, this stone terraced house invites you to begin your Jurassic coast adventure.
Be welcomed into a homely sitting room after your journey, where you will find a traditional style fireplace and several sofas in which you will be able to recline with a hot chocolate and plan the day ahead of you. Before setting off to the beach, walk through the property to discover an open-plan kitchen/diner providing you with all of the home-from-home amenities to help you create a heart-warming meal, before presenting it on the central dining table, and a theme of blue throughout this space reminds you that the coast is only a short drive away. When in need of rest, follow the stairs up to the bedrooms where you will first find a king-size room offering sea views and two more rooms, a twin room and a bunk, perfect for children to relax in, as well as a family bathroom where you can enjoy a soak after a log day spent walking along the shore. The most intriguing feature of this property is the somewhat secret loft conversion, and to reach this you will climb the quirky spiral staircase, reaching a glass wall, and when you enter this space, you will be delighted at the welcoming seating, fresh wooden floors and high ceilings painted white with added skylights to create an airy space that encourages you to spend an evening with a cup of tea and a book. If you wish to dine outside, a bench on a patio offers the perfect spot for breakfast in the sun.
As you begin your Dorset adventure, you will be delighted to find that the town of Lyme Regis offers many cafes, restaurants and pubs for you to choose from, and there is also the option of local craft shops selling everything from paintings and home-made produce to fossils found at the beach! There is a variety of beaches along the coastline, and if you wish to have a picnic on a sandy beach, then Sandy Beach and Monmouth Beach are perfect for you, or if you wish to try to discover some amazing fossils, then the Jurassic coast best offers this from Lyme Regis Fossil Beach. For the perfect family day out, visit the Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium where you will see many fascinating creatures that can be found along the coast, or head over to Dinosaurland Fossil Museum to explore the intriguing prehistoric world hiding beneath the rocks. Explore the wonders of Dorset with a stay at 2 Kersbrook Gardens.
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!

Location was really good and the property had everything you could need! Had a lovely homely feel and the beds and sofas are really comfy would definitely stay here again! The only down side was there was some dog hair on one of the beds when we arrived which is abit odd as all should be fresh when you arrive and the building opposite the property is very run down. But wouldnât put me off staying again.

It could do with some newer photos as the furniture has been upgraded.

I hated the doors knobs. All the doors were difficult to open. There should be a gate on the the top of the stairs as well. The small garden at the back smells of dog pee thanks to the many dogs peeing at one small closed area. There is a tiny hole just outside the bathroom on the hallway under the carpet. We believe the small car refers to the car park place at the back but you can leave your car in the front of the cottage. We had a SUV parked at the front. It was fine. We loved the welcoming pack, all the info in the book was very detailed. Loved that the ornaments/decorations were from the local shops. Everything is close, shops, beach etc.
