About this property

Rising above Lyme Regis beach with a view to the ever-changing waterscapes of the coast, this beautiful slate-clad house creates the perfect holiday home for exploring Lyme Regis, Dorset. Once part of a 19th century harbour tavern, Gull Cottage is ideal for families and groups of adults alike. Be welcomed by the beautiful slate front and wood panelled rear, painted a fresh white and overlooking a fantastic section of the beach. Unpack from a parking space a short distance away before heading inside to make yourself at home. Warm your feet beside the electric fire stove in a traditional fireplace in the sitting room where stylish furniture and décor add a touch of opulence to this historic building, and you can view the beach from the large bay windows. As mealtimes call, you will be inspired to create a heart-warming meal by the contemporary kitchen space with ample amenities and marble look worktops, a great room for social cooking, and you can present your masterpiece to all guests in the dining room with a central wooden table. As the evening wears on, make yourself at home in one of the four bedrooms available, beginning with a ground-floor king size with an en-suite wet-room, a stylish room with plenty of space and storage, a green armchair, and a blue feature wall, as well as large windows overlooking the rear of the property, and three more bedrooms can be found on the first floor. Both king-size bedrooms on the first floor include an en-suite shower-room, perfect for shaking the sand from your hair, and both bedrooms feature ample storage, stylish décor and a touch of history from more traditional furniture, and the fourth room is a twin, perfect for two adults or children, making this property perfect for a family or group of adults. A bathroom with contemporary furniture and a fresh feel offers a soak amongst the bubbles after a long day spent at the beach. Outside, a raised balcony will make the perfect place for afternoon tea, overlooking the beach beyond. The local area of Lyme Regis offers so much, beginning with the beach that is right on your doorstep, where you can enjoy a stroll in the salty air or try out wild swimming, and if you wish to partake in fossil hunting, then you will be able to walk along to Monmouth beach where you can search amongst the rocky shore to see what you can find. There is a pub and a shop only a short walk from the property, however you can travel further into the town centre to find more variety, as well as two fantastic museums, an aquarium, and gardens, which all make a fantastic day out for guests. Explore the wonders of the Jurassic coast with a stay at Gull Cottage.

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!

    The rooms where very clean and linen . The main fault was it was very cold down stairs and the ground floor bedroom had no heating this was a problem for my elderly in - laws.

  • Tracey

    Comfortable & lovely space to relax. Would definitely book again. Two negatives - cold showers/water & lack of heating. Finally found out on our last night that hot water was turned off at boiler & Lounge Dimplex fire was turned off behind drop down cover which was not obvious (as instructions manual said remote would operate by pressing top right button) Thankfully after internet searches for fault finding had a warmer 2nd night !! Please can hot water & dimplex heater be turned on ready to use for incoming guests. Otherwise a fabulous house to stay in

    The house was excellent; wonderful location, pleasingly decorated, very well equipped, spotlessly clean and comfortable. The twin bedroom is small for two adults, but the other bedrooms are lovely and we enjoyed all sitting in the upstairs sitting room or round the spacious kitchen table. It is good fun sitting up on the sun loungers on the sea wall watching the world go by. Our only problem was with the downstairs heating - we could not get help till the office opened and then the problem was not really resolved. to our understanding. We used Justpark for our 2 extra cars, but didn't use them all week; there is plenty to do and see in and around Lyme itself. A really enjoyable holiday which we ended off with a big breakfast in Swim before setting off for home.
