  • A charming thatched cottage in Lyme Regis with home-from-home feel
  • Stunning views across the uninterrupted countryside
  • Idyllic detached hideaway in the heart of the Jurassic Coast and in the Dorset AONB
Overview
Property code: OC-S27857

With its quintessential English charm, pretty cottage garden and stunning views, this thatched cottage offers a memorable stay at the heart of the Jurassic Coast. Located in the pretty seaside town of Lyme Regis, this delightful property welcomes up to six guests, making it ideal for a family holiday or a getaway with friends. After relaxing days fossil hunting on the beaches, walking the coastal path and indulging in tasty local produce, return here for lazy afternoons in the garden and sociable evenings in the elegant lounge.

Located on one of the main roads into the town centre, this split-level property is oozing with character. Its light and airy interiors are adorned with period-style furniture for a quaint and homely ambiance, while the small sets of steps between levels only adds to its charm. Cook up a storm in the bright and modern kitchen and perch on the breakfast bar for a quick snack or adjourn to the dining room to savour your creations complemented by a stunning view. Fill the air with laughter and chatter in the elegant, dual-aspect lounge, patio doors thrown open in warm weather or cosied up in front of the wood-burner-effect gas fire on chilly days. There are plenty of opportunities for a little quiet time alone, whether you want to curl up with a book in the light-filled conservatory or enjoy a drink in the pretty mature garden. As night falls, head upstairs to find three relaxing bedrooms, a king-size bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and dressing room, plus a king-size and twin room. A family shower room on the first floor and WC on the ground floor complete the accommodation.

Enjoy picturesque walks from your front door or wander just over half a mile into Lyme Regis town centre. Here, you can enjoy lazy days on the sandy beach, seek fossils at Monmouth Bay, enjoy a range of water sports, and wander round the picturesque harbour. Foodies are well catered for with a range of cafes, restaurants, pubs and bars, while walkers can set off along the South West Coast Path or stroll along The Cobb.

Lovely house - nice size for all the family. Really close to the beach/town of Lyme Regis. Well-equipped with everything you need for your stay. 2 bathrooms and downstairs toilet a bonus when staying with all the family. Lovely comfy beds and sofas.

The beach is down a steep slope - fine for us as we are active and we didnt have to battle to find parking. WiFi included/TV was an added bonus with children. House was homely, clean and peaceful. We had a lovely week - thank you! Hide

Springdale worked very well for us for our family Christmas - ie. two parents plus 4 others in their 30's. There was a lovely artificial Christmas tree there already with lights and decorations to put our presents around and the kitchen is fairly well equipped so the festive cooking worked out well too. To clarify expectations, there's an inductioRead moren hob, a standard electric oven and a microwave. There's also a second (under the counter fridge) in the utility room which provided useful drinks storage space. It's an unusual layout of rooms with several flights of 4 steps between different levels and rooms. We were all fine with this but worth noting if you've any mobility issues. The location is ideal - close enough to Lyme to walk there and back (assuming you're OK with a steep hill) and some lovely places to eat along the beach too. It's also easy to get out from Lyme and do some delightful cliff walking as well and was a great place for our sunny Christmas 2025! Hide

Lovely spacious house, fully equipped with good quality kitchen and utility room appliances. Very comfortable sofas and mattresses and the house is well equipped throughout.

The property and facilities are excellent. Charming house and we really enjoyed our stay. The house is at the top of a fairly steep hill. During the day - catch the bus and get off at the stop past the property and walk 100 yards downhill to the house.

We enjoyed our stay in this lovely, very spacious, comfortable and well- equipped cottage with far- reaching views and a beautiful garden. The only drawback was that our car grounded because of the different slopes of the pavement and the drive. Parking was tricky.

A lovely old thatched roof property - set in lovely grounds at the top of a hill. Great location for us as we are an active family and were quite happy walking back up the hill after walking to the beach / harbour. The house is large and has great facilities and the showers fantastic.

House comfortable but cold badly needs double glazing had the weather been better might have been a different story. When booking I asked about a mobility scooter hire for my husband and a lady at original cottages gave me dorset wheelchair hire services a Mr Wayne Jones do not recommend this person again as we were supplied with a mobility scooterRead more unfit for use and had to find a new supplier and they took one look at this scooter and said not fit for purpose which is not the fault of original cottages but we went with that lady's recommendation.

A good property but let down by poor cleanliness and lack of basic household kitchen/bathroom soaps/dishcloths/washing up liquid etc. We had a good time, but would not recommend to anyone unless the maintenance is improved.
