After an invigorating shower or relaxing soak in the bath, you are refreshed and raring to go and there is no shortage of things to do in the area. Take a stroll into Lyme Regis where there is a good range of shops, bars, boutiques, cafes, tearooms and restaurants as well as a great museum and aquarium and of course a beach, a harbour and the town’s famous causeway. Jump in the car for some days out to places such as Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens, Beer Quarry Caves, Chard Museum, Dinosaurland Fossil Museum, Forde Abbey and Gardens and the Jurassic Fun Centre. You can’t come to Dorset and not go to the beach and the best ones to check out include Charmouth, West Bay, Dawlish Warren and Lulworth Cove. Shire View offers guests a relaxing and rewarding holiday.
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!

The bathrooms and kitchen were good quality and modern. We found the beds quite uncomfortable and the pillows hard. There isnât enough hangers in the wardrobe, 5 per person isnât enough. It would be useful to have hooks on the bathroom doors for towels. The carpets are also getting quite worn on the stairs. Unfortunately, we had some noisy neighbours who were shouting and screaming till after midnight which wasnât good with 2 young girls trying to get them to bed. Otherwise the location was very good and we enjoyed our stay In Lyme Regis.
