Ivy Cottage in Lyme Regis is a cosy and well-liked property, praised for its excellent location, homely feel, and comfortable beds. Guests have enjoyed the additional touches such as games and streaming services. While some minor issues were noted, the overall sentiment is positive with many guests planning to return.
The cottage generally seems well-kept, though there are mentions of the need for more thorough cleaning between lettings, specifically regarding crockery and cutlery. Bedding was also described as tired and grey.
The location is highly praised for being central, quiet, and close to the beach and local amenities. However, accessibility and parking challenges due to steep hills and tight spaces have been noted.
Guests find the beds very comfortable and the cottage homely. However, some guests mentioned thin curtains letting in light and a small bed in the master bedroom, which could affect comfort over longer stays.
The property is appreciated for its cosy atmosphere and extras like an Xbox and smart TV. However, there are several mentions of a missing dishwasher, despite it being listed, and issues with the TV signal and shower attachment.

A period cottage tucked away into the picturesque town of Lyme Regis, Dorset. With easy access to local facilities and activities, Ivy Cottage is ideal for a family looking to explore the Jurassic coast. Be welcomed by a quaint front garden full of shrubs and a purple door as you unpack from the near by car parking and enter the property. After a long journey, make your way into the sitting/dining room where you will be able to rest your feet in one of the stylish grey sofas, marvelling at the tasteful renovation within the cottage where white walls and wooden flooring mixes with the traditional wooden roofbeams and fireplace to create a space full of character, and there is a dining table for all guests to enjoy a heart-warming meal together beside the large bay windows that draw in the natural light from outside. When stomachs start to rumble, a well fitted kitchen with wooden furniture and roofbeams creates a great space for the designated chef to try out local produce. Climb the steep stairs to find two bedrooms, a double with fresh décor, tasteful wooden doors and a lot of storage and a bunk room with a fantastic bare stone wall allowing an insight into the history of this building, along with a spacious bathroom. Enjoy the potted plants with a cup of tea outside in the mornings before heading out to explore the local area. Lyme Regis is a fantastic holiday resort, teeming with amazing activities, for example there are two museums, Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium and Langmoor and Lister Gardens all within the town centre, and an abundance of shops selling local art, craft and home made goodies, as well as many delicious eateries waiting to cater to your culinary needs. Take a stroll along the wonderful beaches with a view across the ocean, harbours and towering cliffs where you can enjoy a family picnic, a swim or even try out fossil hunting. Further afield there are many great places to visit including Cannington Viaduct and the Donkey Sanctuary. Make a family holiday to remember with a stay at Ivy Cottage.
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!
