This fabulous new annex with its modern styling and seaside feel is very close to Lyme Regis town.  Its quiet location lends itself brilliantly for a short break holiday near the World Heritage Coast with all of the amenities of this unspoilt coastal town nearby.  This gorgeous property, all on the ground floor is just perfect for couples with its open plan living area, making it feel more like a high quality apartment with allocated off-road parking space for one car also provided.

Lyme Regis is a wonderful location for a traditional seaside break.  The nearby local Museum displays artifacts related to the town’s literary connections and provides a crash course in local history, its geology, and of course Mary Anning’s story (now a film).  Foodies should head to the nearby Town Mill Complex in Mill Lane, just off Coombe Street, where as well as a working mill, pottery, art gallery, local brewery and café/tearooms there is an energetic River walk which can be picked up less than half a mile from the annex.  Wander through Langmoor and Lister gardens and you have far reaching views of the famous Lyme Cobb, harbour and Jurassic Coast.  A short stroll away is HIX Oyster & Fish House with a large terrace wrapped around the informal, light and airy dining room, the perfect place to enjoy some locally sourced fish and seafood.

The picturesque seaside resort of Lyme Regis, with its relaxed pace of life and genteel, old-world charm is a wonderful place to escape and unwind. Situated on the dramatic Jurassic Coast, on the border between Dorset and Devon, visitors to the town will appreciate the natural beauty of the setting nestled in rolling countryside, with miles of stunning coastal scenery right on their doorstep.

The town itself is famous for its iconic Cobb, a curving harbour wall dating back to the 13th century that is also a great spot for crabbing, fishing, or taking a boat trip to admire the magnificent views from the water. At the far end of the Cobb you’ll find the Lyme Regis Aquarium featuring a variety of local marine life, including crabs, seahorses and (at the time of writing) an 80-year-old lobster!

The Lyme Regis Museum is certainly worth a visit, and afterwards, why not use your new-found local knowledge to find a few fossils of your own along the ancient coast, or take part in a guided fossil walk to uncover some relics from the ancient cliffs around the town, which are continuously being eroded by the sea.

Lyme Regis is the perfect place to while away a pleasurable afternoon strolling through the historic 14th century old town which is brimming with characterful shops, tempting tea rooms and quirky galleries. Then enjoy a lively evening at the sea front theatre, or at one of many outstanding bars and restaurants serving locally caught fish and locally produced culinary treats.

If you fancy a beach day, the town's Cobb beach is popular with families, but there are several more beautiful beaches to discover nearby, including Charmouth beach, Chesil beach and Weymouth beach.

Meanwhile, for a family day out, there are several attractions within easy reach, including the Axe Valley Wildlife Park, Seaton Tramway and Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary, all of which are just over the border in East Devon.

A holiday cottage in Lyme Regis allows you to take full advantage of all this lovely seaside town has to offer, whilst being a great base to explore this beautiful corner of Dorset and East Devon.

Greta food, great service and welcomes dogs. Good value for money and plenty of choice for vegetarians and vegans as well as meat eaters. Loved the atmosphere.

November 2019


Both my husband and I had the massive burger, and we were not disappointed!! It was delicious, so full up I didn't get to enjoy a dessert, which were very tempting. I tried the local Gin, Grapefruit flavoured, was amazing, so bought a bottle before coming home. For our first date night since our Son has been born was a wonderful experience, definitely recommend The Cobb Arms

We enjoyed eating at the Cobb Arms. Actually went there three times. The food was fine and the service cheerful and good. We did have to wait quite a long time for our meal, as they cook everything to order but we weren't in any particular hurry. The really nice thing about this place is the welcome they give dogs. We have a Labrador, who lay under the table quite happily.

One of the only remaining pubs on the high street it is traditional in style with cosy areas to sit and chat, a nice fire roaring in the colder months, great atmosphere, friendly staff, and of course a good pint - a winning combination!

Busy but friendly bar, both staff and customers, and good choice of real ales!

Had a really nice meal here one evening recently. Service and food very good. However, it was a pity that no desserts or coffee seemed to be available which would have rounded off a very pleasant visit.

July 2022


Great friendly pub, excellent food, beer and value for money

July 2022


Great food, some of the best we had all week. Don't be put off by the looks, its a great place for food. The main bar is to the right as you go in and plenty of locals seemed to be enjoying the many beers on offer. The main dining is left as you go in. We really enjoyed the food and you need to check out the specials, which we nearly missed. The service was great and the staff welcoming. It gets busy so go early and book a table.

June 2022


made to feel welcome food and service very good

Sunday lunch a must Best we had in a while

We visited in mid October for a Sunday lunch - magnificent and so much on the plate I was full for the rest of the day!

Even though it was during the school holidays it was a very limited menu with only one pudding! The food we had was good and the pub has a warm friendly atmosphere.

November 2019


had a lovely fish pie. Nice traditional pub.

June 2019


No food to speak of. Just a few filled rolls on the counter. A good local for beer.

Exceptional quality and amount of food portions. We tried most of the offerings as there were a lot of us and can honestly say all meals were excellent value, well presented and good portions.

Hotel with stunning grounds overlooking Lyme Bay, brilliant staff and top-notch food. Went there for the set lunch and it was faultless (the afternoon teas looked immense as well but they are the same price as the two-course lunch, so take your pick!).

July 2021


Wonderful Sunday lunch. Friendly, helpful staff and food great. Very pleasant atmosphere. Will certainly go back there when we come back to Lyme Regis.

Well worth a visit. Free to enter and you can show yourself around. Friendly and knowledgeable volunteers. Very interesting.

Loved this! Historic monument & enthusiastic volunteers. My 4 & 6 year olds loved watching the Water Wheel & cog mechanics when it was operating. So much so, we came back 3 days in a row to see the demonstration. Great history lesson!

Most enjoyable visit

June 2022


very interesting tour of working mill.The lyme regis brewery has fantastic beers and a lovely courtyard to sit in the sun to drink it

May 2022


Even better since its recent restoration- you can see inside the mill from a viewing platform and read the information board- no charge but donations encouraged. It's a beautiful building, brilliantly restored; we bought flour from the shop because we were inspired to encourage this little gem to thrive.

March 2022


The old Mill has been lovingly restored to working order, and volunteers are keen to talk about its history, working, and demonstrate it's working. A gem, must be seen. The enjoy a beer or cider across the yard at the Brewery!

September 2021


The brewery was excellent!

June 2021


We loved the Town Mill, particularly the Lyme Regis micro-brewery. Weather wasn't too kind but never spoiled our visits. Covid meant we had to sit at outside tables, sometimes in the rain, however staff were always willing to bring our orders to us as we stood with umbrellas or managed to get a table with cover. Great hosts and great fun.

May 2021


It's a lovely collection of buildings and artisan businesses, a great area to while away time, get inspired and spend money locally! The people at the mill are super-keen and we enjoyed the whole place a lot.

October 2020


A great attraction to visit and learn about milling of grain into flour. A guided tour available and only a donation suggested. Great for children and adults alike. Guide very knowledgeable.

November 2019


Well worth a visit for young and old. Well informed volunteers provide the tour and make it so interesting. No fee is charged but contributions are welcomed and help to keep it open so please give generously.

July 2019


Well worth a visit. The "miller" gave a very informative tour Which included some history of Lyme regis as well as explaining the workings of the mill.

October 2018


The Town Mill is a great attraction, the tour guided by a volunteer miller was excellent and informative.(suggest checking the tour times as they did not run every day) . Opportunities for photographs during the tour were limited because of space but I returned a couple of days later and was able to wander around and take as many as I wanted , I also got to talk to another miller. All for a donation entry fee! The small shop sold their flour and books about the mill. ( I think 2 other reviews were talking about the Courtyard Cafe)

October 2018


Took ages to serve us and the table service in general was poor. Food was good but let down by indifferent service.

July 2018


Well worth a visit as the central feature in a really pleasant old town walk behind the main street. Easier when you start at the top and go down through the twists and turns.

Town Beach, Lyme Regis
(Less than a mile)

(9)

In the picturesque harbour town of Lyme Regis, Town Beach is covered in pebbles at one end thanks to the coastal protection scheme that placed them there to provide essential care for the Marine Parade and the buildings along it.  At the other end the beach has been built up with sand, no longer gets covered at high tide and provides an extensive beach area manned by RNLI lifeguards in the summer.  There are kiosks, cafes, shops and restaurants bordering the beach, so it’s ideal for visiting with family and spending the whole day on the sand if the weather allows.  The main sandy beach in the area, it’s a delight and easy to get to when on holiday in Dorset.  There is paid parking nearby, so don’t forget your change, and remember that dogs are not permitted from 1st April to 31st October, while from 1st November to 31st March they must be on leads.

Nice clean beach with plenty of clean WCs and cafes. The sandy bit at the harbour is good for dogs to run around (out of season) and kids to dig in.

April 2024


Nice beach but very busy and did not like the swooping seagulls!

August 2023


Wonderful location and so much to do, we didn't use our car once for a week, unheard of!! The parking in the town not good but for a town of that age, it was adequate and the other car parks further out were very good.

May 2022


Booked a beach hut from Town Council! Great fun and provided welcome shade on v hot day! Appreciated the two chairs provided but would have liked a small table for food / coffee

September 2021


Great beach on the sandy side was really busy and made use of the boat hire on the beach which was great fun, seagulls are a real issue when it comes to food and we ate ours in our tent after my daughter lost a sandwich to one right out of her mouth.

August 2021


We loved the seafront and that in October it was full of people. We liked the beach bit, seeing families enjoying the sand, and it was great to see open loos, nice ice-cream and lots of different places to eat and drink.

October 2020


We had a lovely dog walk along the beach, very pleasant.

September 2018


A lovely family friendly beach. Pebbled at one end and sandy at the other. Plenty of eateries and ice cream places. A good place for fossil hunting.

August 2018


Excellent area and beach although extremely busy if the sun makes an appearance. I go to Lyme Regis whilst dogs are allowed on the beach (I do use it with my dog) and would like to see more policing re dogs off leads.

April 2017


Monmouth Beach, Lyme Regis
(Less than a mile)

(7)

Named after the Duke of Monmouth who landed here in 1685 in an attempt to take the crown from King James II, Monmouth Beach is a large pebble and sand beach that stretches over a kilometer southwest from the Cobb wall.  There are beach huts, a bowling green, the Lyme Regis Power Boat Club and paid car parks close by.  Meanwhile, for those wishing to have their own exploratory adventures, you can find a layer of limestone called the ammonite graveyard at Monmouth Beach, containing a large number of (you guessed it) ammonites.  There are numerous walks close by and dogs are allowed on the beach all year round.  There is lifeguard cover in the summer, and all the town’s cafés, restaurants and amenities are within easy reach.

A very lovely beach if you like stones! But great when the tide is right out and you can fossil hunting.

October 2023


My dog Luna and I really enjoy walking and playing ball along the beach keeping eyes down to see if we can find a fossil!!! very clean and looked after Love it!!!

June 2022


Stunning, quiet and picture perfect ideal place to relax and paint ?

November 2021


Stayed here in The Little Sea House right on the beach. Amazing sunrises. Beautiful and peaceful but tricky to walk on in places.

October 2021


We had a lovely holiday staying in the little sea house. Perfect location on the beach. Was very warm & cosy inside. Was generally clean on arrival but think it could do a intensive deep clean occasionally to clean racks /hard to reach places ( plug holes) but this did not effect our stay ( I’m just bit OCD with cleaning) I would recommend this to anyone wanting a relaxing tranquil break. Also the out hours staff from toadhall cottages were very helpful. Would book again

Church Cliff Beach, Lyme Regis
(Less than a mile)

(3)

Famous for its picturesque Jurassic coastline, as well as its array of fossils, Church Cliff Beach is on the edge of Lyme Regis town.  Sandy in places, at low tide there is an extensive rock ledge with hundreds of rock pools where you can catch shrimp. The River Lym flows into the bay, so paddling is a necessity if you want to stroll on the sand.  The beach is flanked by rock armour which protects the promenade, and the sand is covered at high tide.  There’s paid parking close by, so don’t forget your change.  There are facilities, restaurants and cafes in the town.  There’s no lifeguard cover on this beach, and dogs are permitted all year round, which is great news for walkers as it also makes up part of the West Dorset Heritage Coast and its accompanying footpaths.

Plenty of parking with a moderate walk down many steps to the beach. Worth the walk though with plenty of fossils around if your prepared to look.

September 2023


Lovely beach but spoilt by the amount of broken bits of glass and rusty metal components that have fallen from the cliff (believe there was some form of rubbish dump at the top of the cliff many years ago) - not a problem for most people but was worried about our dog getting injured.

May 2023


A lovely stretch of beach with rock pools and a chance to find fossils. Get there as the tide is going out and get there early. Take provisions as it is just a beach, of shingle and sand, there are some rocks to clamber over and rock pools to explore. One of our favourite beaches in the UK.

June 2022


Cobb Gate Beach, Lyme Regis
(Less than a mile)

(8)

This pretty harbour town dates back to the 14th century, and is sheltered by a curving harbour wall, The Cobb, as its known contains a small sandy beach made famous in the opening shot of the film The French Lieutenant’s Woman.  You reach the beach between the RNLI station and the slipway, and there is lifeguard cover in the summer months.  Activities nearby include fishing, sailing, snorkeling, kayaking, swimming, surfing and water skiing, while facilities close to the beach include cafes and restaurants and toilets.  There are lots of walks in the area including guided tours of the famous fossil bearing cliffs.  There is paid parking nearby, Axminster train station is five minutes away as the crow flies and buses are available to the town centre.  Dogs are allowed on the beach from 1st November to 30th March as long as they’re on the lead, but they are not permitted in the summer months.

Perfect sandy beach for everyone. Loved the Marine Parade with food and drink and ice creams.

October 2021


excellent, safe beach

September 2021


Always raked and cleaned. Pretty safe, excellent lifeguards. Restaurants and cafes need to be open later. Toilets very clean but not enough of them so long queues. Watch out for seagulls stealing food from your hands!

August 2021


Lovely harbour and great places to grab a bite to eat. But it is extremely busy. Every inch of the small patch of sand by the cobb was taken up but beach shelters, feet deck chairs etc. If your kids are not fussed about sand avoid the area if you want quite and relaxing. The other side of the cobb is quite and so are the toilets (which are clean)

August 2021


We walked here from Seaton along the muddy coastal path and Lyme Regis is lovely . We took a boat out from the cob .

July 2021


The cob was lovely to walk on and all you needed was near by

September 2020


Lovely to see this in sunshine for the first time in several visits. Worth going early to see it uncrowded.

June 2018


Charmouth Beach
(3 miles)

(7)

Perfect for family days out, Charmouth Beach is a mix of sand and pebbles, fossils (for which the area is famous), good swimming and good surf.  It is divided into two distinct areas (East and West) by the mouth of the River Char, which often forms a lagoon suitable for boating or watching the ducks swim past.  To get to the beach, simply find the centre of the village and follow Lower Sea Lane.  There are ample car parks close to the beach as well as another one half way down Lower Sea Lane if those are full.  Dogs are allowed on the West beach as long as they are on leads from 1st May and 30th September between the sea defenses and Lyme Regis but not on the area of beach in front of the beach huts and the Heritage Centre. From 1st July to 31st August dogs are not allowed on East Beach between 10:00am and 6:00pm, but are welcome outside these hours.  At East Beach there is a beach café and picnic tables close by, and in the summer months there is a bouncy castle.  There are also lots of beautiful walks close by to enjoy.  West Beach meanwhile is about a mile and a half long and is a haven for fossil hunters and avid rock-poolers.

Walking this beach from Lyme Regis

October 2023


Great beach, Its busy by the shops but plenty of places to walk to find space away from others. The toilets are bad, so with a few wipes and wash you hands after. Get there early for parking. It is sand, shingle and rock pools, so great for a non commercialised beach day. Follow the tide out if you are fossil hunting but best to have a guided tour first from the museum so you know what you are looking for. One of our favourite sea sides in Britain.

June 2022


This is a beautiful area. Gets very busy and there are about four car parks and on street parking. The museum was very fascinating. Toilet queue was horrendous. This is a great area for inflatables as you can go down the stream if you want instead of the sea. There is also a large grass bank to picnic on instead of the beach cobbles.

Great beach if but a bit stony where we went, good facilities for food and drinks and no where near as many seagulls as Lyme Regis.
