Guests say
Harville Cottage in Lyme Regis is highly praised for its prime location by the beach, offering stunning sea views and easy access to local amenities. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable furnishings, and the thoughtful welcome pack. While some minor maintenance issues are noted, such as temperamental door locks and occasional water ingress, the overall experience is one of relaxation and enjoyment, with many guests returning or planning future stays.
Guests have consistently noted the property's cleanliness, with one even mentioning that their white socks remained pristine after walking on the floors. The positive remarks suggest a high level of cleanliness, although no specific issues were raised to detract from the score.
The location is unanimously celebrated for its proximity to the beach and central position within Lyme Regis. Guests love the sea views and the convenience of nearby eateries and shops, contributing to a perfect score.
The cottage is frequently described as comfortable and cosy, with comfortable beds and a homely atmosphere. However, a few guests mentioned issues with the heating being too hot, which slightly impacts the score.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-equipped kitchen and EV chargers in the car park. However, some guests experienced minor issues with door locks and windows, suggesting room for improvement in maintenance.
While guests have expressed gratitude for the welcome pack, there is not enough information to assess the consistency of such gestures or other thoughtful touches across all stays. Therefore, the score is set to null, and it should be noted that such gifts are a delightful surprise but not guaranteed.
About this property
Nestled amongst the historic cottages of the well-known Marine Parade, a pink thatched cottage with a blue door invites you to begin your Jurassic coast adventure. With a beach quite literally at your fingertips and a taste of history, Harville Cottage is the ideal family holiday home. Be welcomed into a traditional seaside cottage, receiving a welcome hamper on arrival to make your holiday extra special before you find your way into the sitting room where roof beams and a traditional fireplace add a sense of history and you can warm your feet beside the electric fire stove as you recline in one of the blue sofas and plan the day ahead of you with a view through the bay windows of the sea.
When stomachs start to rumble, find yourself in the spacious kitchen/diner where you can indulge in a heart-warming meal together at the dining table whilst the handy utility room takes care of your sandy clothes. Take a relaxing shower in the spacious and contemporary shower-room before getting cosy in one of the two bedrooms available. A spacious king-size bedroom with white walls, charming furniture and a vie across the beach will make the perfect place to cosy up for the night and on the second floor you will find a wonderful twin bedroom perfect for children. Lyme Regis is a seaside resort that offers so many activities for you to try out, including kayaking at the local beach where you can hire a boat and head out into the waves.
Enjoy a stroll along the beach or a spot of fossil hunting at the close by Monmouth Beach before visiting the local museums and Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium to find out more about the history and wildlife of the local area. Visit the wonderful Langmoor and Lister Gardens and explore the fantastic shops on offer, selling everything from hand-made craft, art and fossils. When mealtimes call, a variety of eateries awaits where you can end the day with a hot meal and a glass of your favourite beverage in hand.

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!
