About this property
Literally just a stone’s throw away from beautiful Church Beach in Lyme Regis in the heart of Dorset, is this splendid ground-floor apartment, Lyme Views. A superb, spacious sitting room welcomes guests into the apartment with an extensive seating area, a feature fireplace and delightful large windows which help to maximise the feeling of light and space; a beautiful room in which to gather and spend time. The snug provides a great additional, alternative space which is great for people who might want to get away from it all and chill out in peace. If you’re feeling peckish then step into the attractive kitchen/diner which is fully fitted with everything needed to produce tasty food for the whole family and there is a rustic dining table all set up ready to help you dine in a warm and inviting environment. You can imagine spending many pleasant evenings around this table, eating, drinking and enjoying each other’s company. When bedtime calls, there are two well-presented bedrooms to choose from and both are bright and airy and a relaxing space to rest your weary heads. There are two shower rooms to choose from so no queue for the bathroom in the morning! Feeling refreshed and raring to go you’ll be dying to check out the delights of Lyme Regis with a great choice of shops, boutiques, bars, cafes, pubs and restaurants. You can easily spend a day here browsing and exploring with the museum and aquarium also popular as well as the beach, harbour and causeway. Jump in the car for some interesting days out to places such as Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary, Axe Valley Wildlife Park, Seaton Wetlands Nature Reserve and Forde Abbey and Gardens. Head to the beach for some fossil hunting at beaches such as Chesil, Charmouth, West Bay and Branscombe and while you’re there why not book a fishing trip or even an exhilarating rib ride? A wonderful holiday to treasure forever awaits at Lyme Views.
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!

Vicky
Great location. Good sized kitchen. Really nice to get a welcome pack with some local produce to enjoy, thank you. Comfy beds & sofas. The travel cot smelt very damp and musty so we couldnât use it for our 5 month old. Main bedroom & cupboard smelt like it has a slight damp issue - no window in there. Some crumbs on floor & work surfaces when we arrived and we had to clean a lot of the kitchen cutlery/appliances before use, but all was fair as they canât check everything left from previous users. When we got there the tv remote said low battery and didnât last long so we went out and brought more batteries for it so we could use tv. Our one year old loved the long hallway running up and down and the building blocks to play with. Great to have two decent bathrooms and useful access for buggies with side entrance. We would recommend and enjoyed our stay. Thank you

. however the lock to the door closest to the allocated parking space is extremely difficult to unlock (with the bronze coloured key) and needs repair/replacement. Such a shame about the driveway (guess nothing can be done there!) and the trees/bushes on the other side of the trellis fence which block the view of the town (guess the adjacent landowners are not amenable to cutting them back!)

We received a generous welcome bag of local produce, which we enjoyed and were extremely grateful for. The property was well equipped for all ages. The shower was great, decent power, which is always a bonus! Our only downside to the stay was the double bed - the mattress seemed lop-sided and a bit too soft for our liking. However, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend it. Weâd certainly stay again if/when we visit Lyme Regis another time.
