If you’re feeling peckish then the beautiful country kitchen is the ideal place to cook up some delicious fayre for the family and with the attractive French doors leading outside you have the choice of eating in the comfort of the rustic kitchen or stepping out onto the patio and decking area where there are patio tables and chairs, all set up for alfresco drinking and dining. After an exciting day of exploring, you’ll be ready for your bed and guests can choose from a delightful twin on the first-floor or climb the stairs to the top-floor where you are rewarded with an elegant double bedroom which comes complete with its own TV. This really is the perfect location and thanks to Watersplash Cottage’s setting in the centre of town everything is within a short walk – shops, boutiques, cafes, restaurants and beaches. If you’re looking to explore a little further away then there is a whole host of family attractions including Dinosaurland Fossil Museum, Abbotsbury Subtropical Gardens and Children’s Farm, Tunnel Tree Tops high ropes and zip wire experience and Seaton Tramway, all a short but scenic drive. Pecorama near the village of Beer is a great day out for the whole family with landscaped gardens, a railway, children’s play areas, crazy golf and entertainment for the whole family.

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!

There were a couple of things that we should highlight. The TV in the master bedroom didnât work. Not a problem for us but for people who like to watch TV in bed it could be. The freeview remote for the living room TV didnât work properly as you couldnât use the down arrow to scroll through the channels. Again we used my laptop to plug in and watch channels that way. We also found a broken handle on a mug on the kitchen unit. We left it there for your team to hopefully find during the clean down. There was also no blue bag left for us to split up the linen and towels as per instructions, only a clear bag. We are back with you at Christmas in the same property and we are looking forward to coming back to the property.
