About this property
A terraced grade II listed cottage situated in the heart of Lyme Regis, Dorset, this stunning property allows easy access to local facilities. Family-friendly and close to several notable beaches along the Jurassic Coast, 12 Mill Green will make the perfect base for your Dorset adventure.
A stunning historic cottage welcomes you on arrival into a stylish renovated space with crisp white décor with hints of grey and wood. Recline in the spacious sitting area in one of the sofas provided or the quirky window seat, as you enjoy a hot drink after your journey and plan your day, with a woodburning stove to warm your feet and wooden roofbeams reminding you that this historic property has been renovated with care and taste. When mealtimes call, find yourself in a tastefully outfitted kitchen with a hint of green through the wonderful furniture outfitting this space and adding a touch of opulence that will have you return time and again to enjoy a snack or a heart-warming meal served on the central dining table, and note how the marble-look tiles, décor and colour all complement the heritage and delicate features of this wonderful cottage. On the ground floor you will also find a bathroom offering a relaxing soak after a long day of exploring the town, before heading upstairs to recline in one of the two bedrooms, beginning with a spacious king-size room with wood panelling on the walls in keeping with the history of the cottage and offering ample storage, vintage furniture and a pop of colour from the striped carpet, and there is also a handy en-suite in contemporary style perfect for a quick refreshing shower before you head out to explore the coast, and a twin room with hints of cheery yellow makes the perfect space for children to snuggle down for the night. Outside there is a garden that you will simply find delightful, offering a private space to indulge in a book, a coffee and maybe some cake from a local bakery as you recline in the sunshine, noticing just how long this garden is, with a patio area, gravel, shrubs and a barbecue.
When the time comes to explore, you will be faced with ample opportunities to explore amazing history, animals, shops and shorelines, beginning with the local area itself, offering an abundance of cafes just waiting to bring you a hot meal, as well as restaurants offering a variety of cuisine and shops selling local craft and even fossils! Right on your doorstep you will find the Dinosaurland Fossil Museum, only a short walk from the cottage where you can explore the prehistoric world preserved within the Jurassic Coast, or you can visit a second museum, Lyme Regis Museum, for more information on the history and heritage of Dorset. Beaches include the local Church Cliff Beach, and a little further afield the Lyme Regis beach and Fossil Beach offering a mixture of sandy shores and rocky cliffs. Make a memorable family holiday to Lyme Regis with a stay at the stunning 12 Mill Green.
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!

It was nice to have the good set of children's toys. A fairly significant issue for us was the lack of a bannister between the stairs and the kitchen, which was really quite dangerous for our 2 year old, who nearly fell through a couple of times. It became a source anxiety during our stay. I think this would and should be easily rectified urgently, as it's not only dangerous for small kids. I was concerned that we were asked to put recycling in the single big bin (does this get sorted through? It's fairly basic and expected these days! I noticed other houses had recycling bags). And a last minor point was that we were asked to strip the beds and clean- a hangover from COVID? We paid good money for house, and asked to be out by 10, so would prefer you pay a cleaner for the time to sort this rather than us.

The cottage was very cosy even though it was a cold week in January, however we were very lucky with the weather as it was dry and sunny. Lyme is our favourite place for a holiday and we definitely be back to stay in this lovely cottage.

The parking space at the back is an important asset. The cottage is comfortable and well equipped overall, but a bit short on cutlery and crockery, just 4 place settings. We had an issue with the key safe. On arrival we found it very difficult to read the figures to enter the code, even with a torch, and when we were leaving we could not open it to return the keys. We had to phone and a very helpful man arrived promptly. He couldnât open it either and said it was not in working order. However we were impressed with the way the issue was dealt with quickly and efficiently.
