Water Cottage

Lyme Regis, Dorset

Located in the charming Old Town of Lyme Regis, Dorset, this delightful 18th-century cottage accommodates up to six guests in three bedrooms. Its enviable position is just a five-minute walk from the beach and local shops, making it an ideal retreat for families or groups looking to explore the coastal beauty of the South West of England. The cottage is tastefully furnished in light, airy colors that enhance its character, and it comes with the added benefit of a private beach hut on the seafront promenade, exclusively for guests' use.

The beach hut offers a convenient space to store beach essentials like buckets, spades, and deck chairs, allowing guests to enjoy their time by the sea without the hassle of carrying equipment back and forth. It serves as a perfect refuge during inclement weather and provides a spot for changing clothes after a swim. Guests can easily access the bustling seafront and promenade within a short stroll, where they can experience the vibrant atmosphere of Lyme Regis, often referred to as the "Pearl of Dorset." This area is rich in literary history, notably associated with Jane Austen, and attracts visitors from around the world for its unique geological features and fossil hunting opportunities.

The historic charm of Lyme Regis is evident in its narrow streets, which are lined with galleries, boutique shops, and renowned gastro restaurants and cafés. The south-facing beaches are not only safe for children but also cater to water sports enthusiasts, offering fishing and leisure boat activities from the iconic Cobb harbour. For those looking to venture beyond the beach, the surrounding countryside, recognized as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, provides ample opportunities for walking and cycling. Visitors can also explore picturesque East Devon fishing villages like Beer and Branscombe or visit the market town of Axminster to enjoy a meal at Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall’s River Cottage Canteen.

It is important to note that due to the Covid-19 crisis, the beach hut will not be subject to the same cleaning protocols as the holiday property, and the management takes no responsibility for its condition or use by guests. To ensure safety, guests are encouraged to bring their own sanitizers when using the beach hut. For those who prefer not to use the beach hut, a discount is available, and interested guests should contact the booking office for further details. This cottage not only offers a comfortable stay but also serves as a gateway to the stunning landscapes and rich culture of Lyme Regis and its surroundings.
