Half Moon Cottage in Lyme Regis is a well-received holiday rental, praised for its cleanliness, comfortable furnishings, and thoughtful touches like a welcome bag.

Guests that stayed at this property said
The property is consistently described as clean and well-kept, with several guests highlighting its spotlessness. However, a few mentions of minor issues like stained furnishings and the need for a tidier courtyard slightly affect the score.
The location is appreciated for its proximity to the town and beach, with the bonus of a parking space. However, the steep hills and accessibility concerns for those with mobility issues or the elderly have been noted, impacting the score.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, especially with the wood burner. Some guests mentioned that it could get quite cold and that the duvets were too thin, which suggests room for improvement in providing consistent comfort.
The cottage is well-equipped with modern appliances and a utility room. However, there are several reports of maintenance issues such as guttering problems, non-working lights, and heating issues, which suggests that while the facilities are good, their upkeep needs attention.
The welcome bag and the provision of games and a well-equipped kitchen are frequently mentioned and appreciated. It is important to note that such thoughtful gestures enhance the guest experience, although they may vary and are not guaranteed.

Its a fabulous place to stay. Comfortable space with everything you need. Great location. Minor issues were sorting the heating as it was a cold week and use of the oven could do with instructions. These were eventually remedied so not really a problem. I would thoroughly recommend staying here. It's just great!

Great views of the bay and surrounding area. Within easy reach of local amenities, although the hills were steep! Perfect for our Christmas break. Would definitely recommend and come back if it wasnât at the top of a hill (Iâm asthmatic)

Good to have a parking space with the cottage. Nice outdoor area and secure for a dog (with no Houdini tendencies). Lovely selection of books, maps and games if needed. Laundry room was a bonus as ideal for boots, coats and dog towels. The wood burner made the chilly evenings pleasurable. Outside light (once we had changed the bulb) was useful when returning after dark as no street lighting at the back. Would describe the location as the top of town meaning a hill down and a hill back up. But for us that was not an issue. This also means there is a view from the bedroom window across the valley where it catches the morning sun. Overall a very enjoyable stay at Half Moon Cottage. A property we would use again when we next visit Lyme Regis.
