A beautiful stone cottage resting in the countryside of Uplyme, with easy access to local countryside walks and the bustling town of Lyme Regis. With a fantastic location, Blacksmiths Cottage is perfect for a family who want to explore the Jurassic coast. Be welcomed by the historic exterior of this local stone property, where shrubs add a splash of colour to the doorway and make yourself at home within the wonderful open-plan living space, where a stylish blue sofa invites you to recline beside large windows, and a matching rub and quirky zebra print armchair add a contemporary feel to this space. With white furniture, tiled walls and a great number of home-from-home amenities to cater to your culinary needs, enjoy family cooking and use the dining table or bar space to serve up your masterpiece. The first bedroom can be found on the ground floor; a double with a blue feature wall and storage, and a handy bathroom with a green feature wall and brown tiles, where you can enjoy a relaxing soak amongst the bubbles, and upstairs you will find another double with an en-suite WC. Outside there is a small seating area where you can enjoy coffee in the sunshine before heading out to explore the local area. Close to the property you will find an abundance of countryside walks, including a riverside track leading into the town of Lyme Regis where you can enjoy a hot meal before visiting one of two museums, the Dinosaurland Fossil Museum and the Lyme Regis Museum, enjoy the stunning wildlife at the fantastic Lyme Regis Aquarium and many beaches including the famous Lyme Regis Fossil Beach where you can search for Jurassic treasures amongst the rocky shores. Travel further afield to the Donkey Sanctuary or Axe Valley Wildlife Park, both a great day out for the whole family. You will simply love Dorset with a stay at the wonderful Blacksmiths Cottage.
The beautiful countryside surrounding the village of Uplyme, on the borders of Devon and Dorset, is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, criss-crossed by bridleways and footpaths including the East Devon Way, and providing perfect country walks and superb views. The area was chosen by TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall for his River Cottage HQ at Park Farm, where you can treat yourself to a great meal. Just a short drive takes you to the stunning Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis. This delightful historic seaside town boasts a maze of narrow streets, with an interesting array of shops and cafes, whilst the sandy beach lends itself to great bathing and watersports, and the bustling little harbour offers regular fishing trips, or try your hand at fossil hunting. Within an easy drive is the quaint town of Axminster, or how about a ride on the Seaton Tramway? A glorious location for a varied and interesting holiday.

The facilities are great. The beds are very comfortable. Thereâs som lovely decor touches and the kitchen is very well equipped. The only negative for us was that we couldnât locate the information booklet and also there wasnât a tea towel. We did message about this but there was no response which was disappointing as we werenât sure how to operate the heating.

The sofa was too low. We used the downstairs bed which was far too high and nowhere to hang coats by the front door only under the stairs. The kitchen was modern if a bit overblown for a cottage.
Julie
It had everything you could possibly need. Beautifully decorated and very welcoming. We had a wedding in Lyme Regis and reception in Uplyme so was the ideal location. If I was staying that way again I wouldnât hesitate to book it again.
