We know Lyme Regis but had never stayed in the town before. The cottage is ideally situated (once you get used to the hill!), still very much central but quiet and peaceful.
The cottage was spotless, had everything we needed and there was nothing we could fault.
People staying here do need to be mobile - we renamed it "The house of many stairs"! and if, like my partner, you are over 6 feet tall, showering in the bath is a test of your flexibility!
However, these points are not criticisms -they are what cottages are, and for us, they added to the charm.
The surrounding area is lovely with an easy river walk to Uplyme where River Dippers and Tree Creepers can be seen and where everything becomes very peaceful.
The town itself is full of independent shops. We had delicious chips, ice cream, and spent a great evening at Poco where we had enormous (not "poco") pizza.
A big treat was eating at Lilac. Everything about it was excellent.
We may have explored further, but in four days felt little need to leave Lyme Regis itself.
Oh....and the beach hut...an evening inside with a glass of wine and chips and an afternoon sitting on the deckchairs outside basking in the sun. The icing on the cake!
Thank you.
