About this property
Occupying an enviable location right in the heart of the picturesque seaside town of Lyme Regis in Dorset, is this delightful townhouse, Mermaid House. The perfect property for a large family get-together or a gathering of friends, the accommodation is flexible and well-planned and is spread over three floors. The first-floor sitting room is warm and welcoming with an inviting seating area, an ornamental fireplace and picture windows overlooking the bustling streets of Lyme Regis, making it a wonderfully relaxing space in which to spend time. The beauty of the accommodation is the space is really flexible so when it comes to mealtimes you can choose from eating in the formal dining room or you might want something a bit more informal, in which case there is space to eat in the large kitchen/diner. The kitchen itself is fully equipped with everything needed to cook delicious food for your whole party so time spent here is certainly enjoyable and there is room for guests to keep the chef company too, so everyone is happy! There is also some delightful outside space here so you can step out into the attractive courtyard or onto the roof terrace; both are wonderful places to enjoy some eating, drinking and socialising alfresco. After all that fresh air you’ll be ready to hit the sack and the beauty of Mermaid House is that no matter what combination of guests there are in your party there will be a bedroom for you. Take your pick from three king-sizes, a family room or a twin. All are beautifully presented and offer a restful oasis away from the chaos of the main house. Waking up in the morning you’re already in a great location with Lyme Regis just a short walk where you will find a great selection of shops, bars, galleries, boutiques, tearooms, pubs and restaurants plus Cobb Harbour and Causeway, a museum and aquarium and of course, a fantastic beach. For some great days out from Lyme Regis check out Lyme Bay boat trips or for an adrenaline-fuelled activity, try a rib ride. Also popular are Axe Valley Wildlife Park, Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary, the Jurassic Fun Centre, Seaton Tramway and Beer Quarry Caves. Take a hike anywhere along the 630 mile long South West Coastal Path or pack a picnic and go fossil hunting at any of the glorious beaches in Dorset, in particular Charmouth, Chesil, West Bay, Seatown and Weymouth. For big holiday with big memories, book a stay at Mermaid House.
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 top bedrooms and ground floor and bedroom were freezing. ( a damp patch on wall in top bedroom.) We Called someone out who said the previous tenants had tampered with the dial. So he corrected it. It was a bit warmer at night when temp dropped as he raised it from 18 - 20 The middle floor was very warm and it seems thatâs where the thermostat is so although itâs warm there the rest of the house is very cold and not getting up to the set tempreture. The noise from the pub Friday and Saturday night was insane. Sat night it was a party which was until midnight! Plus people leaving the pub.The music was heard Thumping in the upstairs rooms. We couldnât sleep . We were told we could not unload at the property when we arrived. In actual fact we could as many other people were unpacking and loading as well. The property was very clean and well furnished for large parties. I think to stay in warmer weather would be good if you donât mind the pub noise. I also agree to have to strip the beds and leave by ten is pretty unfair. Most of family left Sunday and me and my husband left Monday. So we managed to strip the beds the night before. We could not have got everyone out by ten with 2 babies and 3 children plus 8 adults.

The Ground floor bedroom was described as having an 'En Suite' which if did not. You had to exit that Bedroom to get ot the 'En Suite' which became used by other members of out party as a general bathroom. No lock on the door. House was lovely and clean and was located very close to all the amenities.

Very close to all the lovely restaurants in Lyme and would highly recommend the Harbour inn, Town bakery and Millside all of which had fab food and great friendly service. We loved Mermaid house and will definitely be back!
