Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking. Please note: Maximum occupancy 8 guests including infants.. In the heart of the popular seaside resort of Lyme Regis, and only 250 yards from the seafront, this character Grade II listed Great House has been restored retaining many original features, and has been furnished and decorated to a very good standard. The Chatham is on three floors, so there are stairs to access the main living areas on the first floor, then stairs leading to a lower level. There are the most stunning views from the living, dining room (which seats eight guests) and terraced area, which is the perfect spot for wining and dining. Views stretch all the way down Chesil Beach and the Heritage Coast to Portland. Visitors can park, which is prime in Lyme Regis, in the outside gated courtyard.
From the doorstep, guests can be in the thriving heart of this picturesque town, with a short walk to the sandy beach and harbour, or spend pleasant evenings strolling along the famous Cobb taking in one of the many restaurants and pubs. The children will love the opportunity to do some fossil hunting, crabbing, boating, swimming or fishing, or for all the family wandering around the local shops in this quaint town. The whole of the famous World Heritage Coast beckons, from Exmouth to the west and Weymouth and Portland to the east, then visit West Bay, scene of the TV series ’Broadchurch’, the Craft Centre at Broadwindsor, many family attractions at Weymouth or perhaps some great scenic coastal walking, maybe to the top of Golden Cap with its panoramic views and a call into the local pub. Shops, pubs and restaurants within 50 yards.

This was our second time at The Chatham and it was just as good as the first. The location was perfect for us in the heart of Lyme Regis. Good to have private parking in the Courtyard and the ability to park free of charge before being allowed in for a few hours and after check out for a few extra hours. Lots of stairs in the property which was fine for us, but could be a problem for those less mobile. Comfortable and clean, had everything we needed.
