Situated in the heart of Lyme Regis, a picturesque seaside town in Dorset is The Lymings, a well-positioned, Grade II listed duplex apartment. Just paces away from the beaches and great selections of attractions and amenities, The Lymings is located over two floors, providing plenty of space for a family of eight or a group of friends to unwind and feel at home.

It was very comfortable for six people. I would not wish to be there with eight. It is certainly big enough for eight people, and would not feel over-crowded. However, you can only (just) fit six to eat at the kitchen/dining table, and the seating in the sitting room only just suits six people - you certainly couldn't get eight people relaxing to watch a film in there, for example. All it would take is a bigger kitchen/dining table, and an extra large sofa and it would be perfect for eight. The listing is not accurate, in that none of the windows on the front open (so, that's three of the four bedrooms and the sitting room). I expect it's because of the (very efficient) secondary double-glazing as it is on the main road into Lyme, but we'd have preferred some noise, and the ability to open the windows. The dishwasher needs salt and rinse aid, which was not supplied. All that said, we would return. Everything else excellent - clean, comfortable, generally spacious and very close to beach and town.

Happy family space. Will be returning

It is the only way in and out of the building making it a fire hazard. This has been commented on before so please make it safe. The apartment is beautiful and a fabulous location. You do pass through another garden before you get to the front door which is round the side of the building. The photo of the listing is mis leading. The main picture is of another listing.
