The proximity to the beach, shops, and restaurants adds to its charm, although some minor maintenance issues were noted.
The cottage is consistently described as clean and tidy, indicating a high standard of cleanliness. However, there is a mention of a crumbling kitchen wall, which suggests a slight deduction is appropriate.
The location is frequently highlighted as a major positive, with its proximity to the beach, shops, and restaurants. The only drawback mentioned is some noise in the front bedroom, but this seems to be a minor issue overall.
Guests find the beds comfortable and the cottage homely. Suggestions for improvement include better quality bed linen and secondary glazing to reduce noise for front bedroom occupants.
While the cottage is well-equipped, guests have suggested the addition of a Smart TV, dishwasher, and some basic kitchen condiments. The maintenance of the kitchen wall and shower also indicates a need for improvement in facilities.
Guests have expressed appreciation for the welcome packs, which add a thoughtful touch to their stay. However, as gifts are not guaranteed and there is no consistent mention of other thoughtful gestures, a score cannot be accurately provided.
About this property
Nestled into the seaside town of Lyme Regis, Dorset, this traditional cottage offers a great base for a family holiday. With shops and activities within easy reach, Bedrock will be perfect for those looking to explore the local area. Upon arrival you will find this fantastic blue painted cottage emerging from a quaint row of terrace cottages and be eager to make yourself at home. Settle down for a brew in the fantastic sitting aera, shrouded in heritage with a stone feature wall, ornamental fireplace, vintage furniture and roofbeams made from dark wood, along with stylish sofas and wooden flooring and within the same room you will find a dining table, perfect for breakfast before heading out to the bay, and there is a quirky metal railing lining the staircase leading up to the first floor. When stomachs start to rumble, you will simply love your self-catering experience in this tastefully outfitted kitchen where contemporary grey cupboards contrast perfectly with stone walls and old wooden doors, inspiring you to rustle up a storm with a taste of the local area, and there is an additional sitting area beside a stunning stain glass half-moon window, perfect for morning coffee. Enjoy a refreshing shower or a soak amongst the bubbles in a spacious bathroom with blue walls and tiled flooring bringing with it a splash of seaside blue. Two bedrooms offer a place to snuggle down for the night, starting with a double room with homely décor and a twin room perfect for children. Outside, you can have lunch in the seaside air on the patio provided. If it is beaches that you are looking for, then Lyme Regis has these in abundance, beginning with Cliff Bay Beach and harbour just a short walk from the property, and a little further you will find Monmouth Beach and Lyme Regis Fossil Beach where you can search amongst the rocky shore for a glimpse into the past or try out kayaking in the waves. The town centre offers two museums, an aquarium, local craft and artwork shops to create a great family day out, and if you travel a little further you will find the amazing Axe Valley Wildlife Park before ending the day in one of the local restaurants with a delicious meal for the whole family. Explore the wonders of the Jurassic coast with a stay at Bedrock.
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. Take a stroll along the world-famous Cobb causeway overlooking the ancient harbour, where fishing trips can be enjoyed, or try your hand at fossil hunting in the area. The scenic coastal path offers excellent walking opportunities and spectacular views of the stunning Jurassic coast, whilst the gently shelving sands and sparkling waters of Lyme Bay provide the perfect place in which to relax and unwind. A holiday destination to savour!
