We received a warm welcome from Mr Stevens at Yawl House, a lovely Georgian house at Uplyme near Lyme Regis. The house sleeps 12 plus a baby across 6 rooms. There are 2 bathrooms and a wet room. A large lounge, a smaller lounge, a dining room that could easily accommodate us all and a kitchen. There was also a glazed summer room along the back of the house that was glorious thanks to the excellent weather. The garden was enclosed and I would guess, South East facing. We enjoyed sun all day. Yawl house is an older property which has to be allowed for but it was clean and well equipped and suited us perfectly. There was a welcome pack which was much appreciated and the Aga kept us warm. I would thoroughly recommend Yawl House and the owner Mr Stevens was easily contactable and very welcoming.

Yawl House is wonderful. It’s characterful, warm, spacious. Richard generously left flowers, cake, fruit and wine for our group, such a thoughtful gesture. The house is well provided and we had a wonderful 3 days.
