Guests say
The Chatham in Lyme Regis is praised for its superb location, with easy access to shops, eateries, and the beach. Guests appreciate the on-site parking, spacious and well-equipped accommodations, and the responsiveness of the owners. While the property's charm is noted, some guests mention challenges with steep stairs and the condition of certain furniture items.
Most guests found The Chatham to be very clean, with specific mentions of spotless kitchens and bathrooms. However, a few comments about average cleanliness slightly affect the overall high standard perceived.
The location is consistently described as ideal and central, with the convenience of on-site parking and proximity to local attractions highly valued by guests.
The property offers comfortable beds and well-sized bedrooms, but some guests found the living room furniture lacking in support and comfort. The steep stairs also posed a challenge for some, impacting the overall comfort level.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, especially the well-stocked kitchen and ensuites. However, maintenance issues with wobbly terrace tables and the need for better stair banisters are noted.
There is no mention of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

The Chatham is on three floors, so there are stairs to access the main living areas on the first floor, then stairs leading to a lower level. There are the most stunning views from the living, dining room (which seats eight guests) and terraced area, which is the perfect spot for wining and dining. Views stretch all the way down Chesil Beach and the Heritage Coast to Portland. Visitors can park, which is prime in Lyme Regis, in the outside gated courtyard.
From the doorstep, guests can be in the thriving heart of this picturesque town, with a short walk to the sandy beach and harbour, or spend pleasant evenings strolling along the famous Cobb taking in one of the many restaurants and pubs. The children will love the opportunity to do some fossil hunting, crabbing, boating, swimming or fishing, or for all the family wandering around the local shops in this quaint town. The whole of the famous World Heritage Coast beckons, from Exmouth to the west and Weymouth and Portland to the east, then visit West Bay, scene of the TV series ’Broadchurch’, the Craft Centre at Broadwindsor, many family attractions at Weymouth or perhaps some great scenic coastal walking, maybe to the top of Golden Cap with its panoramic views and a call into the local pub. Shops, pubs and restaurants within 50 yards.

The Chatham is a fantastic holiday apartment right in the centre of Lyme Regis and we had a lovely holiday there. The owner was really helpful in advance of our trip, making sure our free parking was sorted out. The apartment is well equipped, spacious and located right in the middle of Lyme Regis.

My family and I spent a wonderful 4 days over the Christmas period. The house was wonderful, well equipped and a fantastic location with it being only few steps to the pretty high street and beach.The owners were extremely helpful and very kind and we couldn’t recommend this holiday home enough. We will definitely be rebooking. The only one thing I would change if possible, would be the 9am checkout and alter it to 10am just to give that little bit extra time esp when there are young children staying.
