There is no shortage of activities for everyone to enjoy in the area so why not have a stroll into Lyme Regis and check out the town’s great collection of shops, cafes and boutiques, its museum and aquarium, and of course, its beach, harbour and causeway? Jump in the car for a scenic trip to any one of a number of local attractions which include Seaton Tramway, Beer Quarry Caves, Pecorama, Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens and Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary.

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.

The views from the upstairs lounge are excellent but it does mean that a walk back from the town is uphill. The parking space is very generous. We liked the decoration and that there are many different places to sit and read, play games or watch television. Two bathrooms helped with getting out in the mornings. It is close to Devon for trips across the border, we went to Torquay, Coleton Fishacre NT and took a tram from Colyton to Seaton which was lovely. The house was really clean and the Welcome Pack was much appreciated.

Location was super for car parking and a short walk to town. We enjoyed the accommodation very much. It was unfortunate that there was only 1 tea towel and washing up cloth. As we we're 6 people and often cooking and washing up we would have appreciated 1 more t towel and cloth. There was a shortage of toilet rolls for a family of 6. Also for a week 1 bath towel and 1 hand towel just wasn't enough.

We really enjoyed a morning coffee on the balcony overlooking the bay. The location was perfect, nice and close to everything too. The property itself was spotless and had everything we needed. We really appreciated the gift bag of goodies too - thank you. All in all, a lovely stay and we are already planning when we can come back!
