Guests say
Guests generally appreciate the apartment's central location in Lyme Regis, its cleanliness, and the thoughtful welcome pack. While the property's quirkiness and charm are noted, some guests mention issues with comfort due to steep stairs and firm sofas. Noise from upstairs neighbours and a recurring problem with a leaky shower are also mentioned. Despite these points, many guests express a desire to return, indicating an overall positive experience.
The apartment is frequently described as clean and well-maintained, though there are isolated complaints about a musty smell and a mat that had an odour of dog urine. The bins were also noted to be full on one occasion.
The location is highly praised for its centrality, proximity to the beach, shops, and restaurants. Parking is understood to be limited due to the central location, but a parking permit is appreciated.
Comfort receives mixed reviews. While the beds are often described as comfortable, the sofas and a chaise longue are repeatedly criticised for being uncomfortable. Noise from upstairs can be an issue.
Facilities are generally well-regarded, with a well-stocked kitchen and comfortable beds. However, there are several mentions of a leaky shower, and one guest could not find a washer/dryer. The steep stairs are noted as a potential issue for some guests.
The welcome pack is consistently mentioned and appreciated, indicating a high level of thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be guaranteed for every stay.
About this property
Resting at the heart of the idyllic coastal town of Lyme Regis in Dorset is Apt 1 44/45 Coombe Street. This characterful first-floor apartment dates back to 1600’s and seamlessly melds charming high ceilings, exposed wooden beams and textured, white-washed stone walls with chic decor, a fully-equipped kitchen and bright and airy bedrooms. It also affords a close proximity to the glorious sandy shores of Lyme Regis beach and the unique shops and pubs laced throughout the town; this and its two spacious bedrooms make it a wonderful setting for families looking for a coastal staycation in Dorset. After a fun-filled day at the beach, climb the winding staircase to your home-from-home, head to the fully-equipped kitchen to rustle up a hearty meal that the whole family can enjoy in the dining room. As the evening progresses, snuggle up on the plush sofa and delight in a family film night with the Smart TV, while the electric coal effect fire creates a homely ambience. When sleep calls, tuck the kids into the fun twin bedroom before washing off the day’s adventures in the bathroom; then climb into the double bed for some well-earned rest and rejuvenation before another exciting day at the coast. This apartment lies just paces from local stores to ease your self-catered stay as well as local pubs, on the nights you don’t fancy cooking treat your loved ones to food and drinks at The Lyme Bay or The Oyster and Fish House run by Mark Hix. There is a wealth of attractions in the town from Lyme Regis Beach with spectacular views across the English Channel to Lyme Regis Museum which displays local history and fossil exhibits. The Marine Theatre is a short walk away and hosts lots of live shows or Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium which runs hands-on feeding sessions. The famous South West coastal path runs through the town and allows guests to explore the unique beauty of the Jurassic Coast in towns like Seaton or Charmouth. You could also travel further afield to Weymouth to explore the famed Chesil Beach, Nothe Fort, SEA LIFE centre or the RSPB Lodmoor nature reserve. Apt 1 44/45 Coombe Street is expertly positioned for those wanting to explore Lyme Regis and the Jurassic Coast.
Lyme Regis is a charming seaside town with plenty of unique shops, galleries, and cafes to explore. Try your hand at fossil hunting in the area, or take a fishing trip out of the ancient harbour, which is visible from the Cobb causeway. Lyme Bay's gently shelving sands and sparkling waters are ideal for unwinding, while the scenic coastal path offers excellent walking opportunities and spectacular views of the stunning Jurassic coast. This is the kind of holiday destination you'll never forget!

The beds were comfortable and there was an amazing welcome pack when we arrived. We knew about the steep steps at the entrance and they were steep but weâd been informed so that was fine but the only thing weâd change were the sofas, Iâm afraid between the three of them not one was comfortable at all so much so we used our beach chairs to sit on instead!!. Iâd recommend the apartment to my friends as the sofas didnât spoil our time spend In beautiful Lyme Regis.

As previous comments, shower does leak a little. Not an actual leak but water runs off from around top of the bath, easily stopped with flannel or a cloth. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, even with the wet and windy weather Welcome pack was amazing, thank you so much Steve, Lara, Evangeline and Bob the well behaved Cavapoo!
