Guests say
Guests have found the cottage in Lyme Regis to be well-equipped, comfortable, and superbly located for easy access to the seafront and local amenities. The property's charm and the provision of fresh linen are appreciated, although some guests noted areas for improvement in cleanliness and maintenance.
Cleanliness has been mentioned as acceptable by some, but others noted a lack of thoroughness, with dirty plates and items found under furniture. This suggests room for improvement in cleaning standards.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the seafront, shops, bars, and cafes, making it an ideal spot for guests looking to explore Lyme Regis on foot.
The property is generally found to be comfortable with fresh linen and a cosy atmosphere. However, some guests mentioned a very soft mattress and an uneven floor in one of the bedrooms, which could affect comfort for some.
Facilities are well-regarded in terms of the kitchen being well-stocked and the property being equipped for families. However, issues with heating, a drafty door, and minor maintenance concerns like a non-functioning light and broken toilet brush have been raised.
While guests appreciated the overall equipment and comfort provided, there is no specific mention of gifts or special touches that would fall under thoughtfulness. Therefore, this score cannot be accurately assessed.
About this property
Originally two properties, this stunning traditional cottage has been carefully renovated to create the perfect Dorset holiday home. With three bedrooms, a spacious living area and fantastic distance to all of the town’s major attractions, 4/5 Georges Square is the perfect family holiday home.
After utilising the off-road parking and admiring the quaint exterior of this property, enter into a marvellous sitting room with all of the traditional cottage vibes needed to add a taste of heritage to this property, with traditional roofbeams, furniture in light green, blues and browns to complement the quaint feel to this property and a log burner set into the original fireplace, where you can warm your feet as you enjoy a book after a long day spent at the seaside. A wonderful kitchen/diner, featuring the central staircase, fresh décor and tiled floors encourages any budding chef to make the most of the amenities on offer, creating a masterpiece from local produce and presenting it on the central dining table. As the afternoon wares on, enjoy a refreshing soak amongst the bubbles or a warming shower in the bathroom, before taking to one of the three bedrooms available to settle down for the night, beginning with a double with wooden furniture and homely décor, a second double with a dressing table, and a spacious twin room with a wardrobe. Outside you will find a courtyard with seating (stored in the shed), which is shared with the nearby properties.
The town of Lyme Regis is a fantastic holiday destination with activities to keep you occupied all year round. With a superb selection of beaches, including Monmouth Beach and Lyme Regis Fossil Beach, you will be able to enjoy a stroll along the coastline, stopping for a picnic with the family, or even take to the waves in your favourite watersports. The town centre itself is a great place to grab a hot meal or end the day with a glass of your favourite beverage in hand, offering a variety of cafés, restaurant and pubs as well as local shops selling crafts, produce and artwork. The town centre also boasts two museums, an aquarium and gardens, all perfect for family days out. You will simply love the Jurassic coast with a stay at the wonderful 4/5 Georges Square.
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 slight downside was that the shared courtyard was not really available to us so we couldnât sit outside. The 2 properties facing directly onto the courtyard always had the tables and chairs outside their front doors and also washing! We didnât feel that we could use it. Otherwise everything was fine.

It's really well equipped for a family stay and spacious, comfortable and cosy. Location wise it was ideal for us with everything we needed for a 3 night stay in short walking distance. The parking is a little tricky but we managed to fit our family sized car in the garage and leave the door open. If you want the central location then to have a garage available is a bonus - many similar properties didn't have parking available. The front door needs some attention as is very difficult to open!

Cottage well equipped but full of a lot of tat and inside of cupboards and drawers in kitchen absolutely filthy. Lots of things like light in bathroom not working properly and broken toilet brush. The whole place just needs a bit more TLC.
