Somerhill is a well-loved property praised for its stunning views, spaciousness, and comfortable furnishings. Guests have enjoyed the well-equipped kitchen, the warm swimming pool, and the property's homely feel. While some maintenance issues have been noted, these have not significantly detracted from the overall positive experiences.

Cleanliness

The property generally maintains good cleanliness, with several guests finding it immaculate and spotlessly clean. However, there have been mentions of dust, dirty carpets, and kitchenware, which suggests room for improvement in this area.

Location

The location is highly praised for its breathtaking views and proximity to Lyme Regis. The area is described as quiet and the property is within walking distance to town, although the return trip is uphill.

Comfort

Guests have consistently noted the comfortable beds and the homely atmosphere of the property. The spaciousness allows for various activities and the property is well-suited for large groups and families.

Facilities

Facilities like the swimming pool and well-equipped kitchen are appreciated, but several guests reported issues with the oven, grill, and microwave. The pool cover and some pool tiles also need attention. Despite these points, the facilities have been a highlight for many stays.

Thoughtfulness

The welcome pack of Dorset goodies has been well-received, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are subject to change and not guaranteed, guests should consider this a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

About this property

Offering truly outstanding accommodation complete with a stunning outdoor heated swimming pool, is this spacious, detached property, Somerhill. The perfect location for large gatherings of family and friends, Somerhill has everything needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay. The interior is spacious and well-planned so there is an area for everyone, day or night, from the ample sitting room where you can relax around the woodburning stove and look out onto the gardens to the elegant dining room, where you can chill out over a lingering evening meal, or the light and airy conservatory which boasts unrivalled views. The kitchen is superbly appointed and is fully equipped with everything needed to create delicious cuisine for your party and when dinner has been prepared you can either gather around the inviting dining table or you can step outside onto the fabulous first-floor terrace which offers simply mesmerising views over the Jurassic coastline and the sea beyond. The gardens are a joy to explore and the heated outdoor swimming pool is the real ‘piece de la resistance’ of the property; you can imagine spending many hours here during your holiday chilling out and really getting into the vacation vibe. When bedtime calls, take your pick from any one of the five superbly appointed bedrooms, two king-size and three twin; some with breath-taking sea views but all offering a night-time haven. Waking up in the morning at Somerhill is a joy with those panoramic views the perfect antidote to everyday stresses and strains and the ideal base from which to explore the delights of Dorset. The bustling seaside town of Lyme Regis is close by and you will find a great range of shops and amenities, a museum and aquarium, as well as a beach, causeway and harbour. Dorset boasts some world-beating beaches and ones of particular interest to visitors include West Bay, Charmouth, Seatown and Lulworth Cove, all well worth packing a picnic for a day on the beach sunbathing and fossil hunting. Attractions close to Lyme Regis include Seaton Tramway, Forde Abbey and Gardens, Beer Quarry Caves and Axe Valley Wildlife Park. For an outstanding holiday to remember for a lifetime, make sure you visit Somerhill.

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!
