If the weather allows, then you might even be able to dine alfresco on the patio area outside which offers some lovely views of the surrounding trees and greenery and really does feel like an oasis of calm. When bedtime calls, guests can make their way to any of three beautifully appointed bedrooms, two king-sizes or a twin; all are wonderfully inviting and offer a relaxing sanctuary of sleep.

You can easily walk into Lyme Regis along the river Lym where you will find a good selection of shops, eateries and amenities as well as a pleasant beach, harbour and causeway and an aquarium and museum. A little further away but with some beautiful views along the way, you can visit towns such as Charmouth with its Heritage Coast Centre, Seaton with its tramway and Beer known for its quarry caves or visit attractions such as Tunnel Tree Tops, the Jurassic Fun Centre, Pecorama, Forde Abbey and Gardens and Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens. A relaxing, family holiday awaits with a stay at Little Ascot.
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!

Other than that it was a lovely cottage in an excellent location within walking distance for our 2 small children to get to the beach. One issue with the drain was fixed promptly by the maintenance team which was very good.

Beds were incredibly comfortable and shower was very easy to use. Washing machine came in useful for wet towels. Enclosed garden was ideal for our dog, although road was a little dangerous.
