The Old Boat House

About this property

Beautifully presented with fresh interiors throughout, The Old Boat House is a stylish and wonderfully comfortable coastal home for up to six guests, perfectly placed for enjoying everything Lyme Regis has to offer.

One of the real pleasures of staying here is how easy everything feels. Park directly outside the cottage, unpack at the door and explore Lyme Regis on foot, with the town centre, seafront, beach and historic Cobb all within walking distance. For guests bringing bikes, kayaks or paddleboards, the secure private garage provides valuable storage throughout your stay.

Inside, the house is light, airy and thoughtfully equipped for spending time together. Settle into the comfortable lounge after a day on the coast, open the bifold doors onto the enclosed courtyard on warmer days, or light the woodburner and enjoy a cosy evening in when the weather turns cooler. A Smart TV, fast WiFi and central heating provide all the comforts for an easy year-round stay.

The contemporary kitchen/diner is equally inviting, with plenty of space for leisurely breakfasts, family meals and relaxed evenings around the table. It is well equipped with an electric oven and hob, fridge/freezer, microwave and dishwasher, with a washing machine also provided.

Upstairs, two comfortable king-size bedrooms and an adult-size bunk bedroom provide flexible accommodation for families and friends. The principal king-size bedroom has its own en-suite shower room, while the second king-size bedroom and bunk bedroom share a stylish Jack-and-Jill family bathroom with a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower. The main bedrooms also enjoy glimpses towards Golden Cap.

Outside, the lounge bifold doors lead directly onto a small, enclosed paved courtyard with seating, just right for morning coffee or a drink at the end of the day. A separate open terrace beside the stream has a picnic table for alfresco meals.

Beach days are made easier too. Alongside the secure garage storage, guests can borrow a beach trolley, deckchairs, cool box and picnic set, thoughtful extras that mean there is a little less to bring from home.

EXPLORE LYME REGIS

The Old Boat House is ideally placed for enjoying Lyme Regis on foot. Leave the car at the cottage and discover the town’s independent shops, cafés and welcoming pubs, spend the day by the sea or wander along the seafront to the historic Cobb.

The nearby River Lim Path offers a lovely riverside walk towards Lyme Regis and Uplyme, while the South West Coast Path provides spectacular coastal walking in both directions. Fossil hunting at Charmouth and the wider Dorset and East Devon coastline offer plenty more to discover during your stay.

A welcome booklet is provided in the lounge with suggested local recommendations and ideas to help you make the most of your time in Lyme Regis.

DOGS WELCOME

One large or two small well-behaved dogs are welcome at The Old Boat House, and dog bowls are provided for your stay.

The small paved courtyard is enclosed and accessed directly from the lounge through the bifold doors, providing a little convenient outdoor space for your dog to get some fresh air. Please note that the cottage does not have a grassed garden.

For walks, there are some lovely options very close to the house, including the nearby River Lim Path and numerous countryside and coastal routes. Lyme Regis also has dog-friendly beach options throughout the year, subject to local seasonal restrictions.
