Guests say
The Chatham in Lyme Regis is praised for its superb location, spaciousness, and on-site parking. Guests appreciate the well-equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, and ensuites, though some find the stairs challenging and the living room furniture in need of an update. The property's cleanliness is generally good, and the owners are noted for their helpfulness.
Most reviews indicate the property is very clean, with only a few guests finding it average. No significant issues were reported, suggesting a high standard of cleanliness overall.
The location is consistently described as ideal, central, and convenient for accessing shops, eateries, and the beach, contributing to a highly positive experience.
While the beds and ensuites are praised for their size and comfort, several guests mention that the living room furniture is worn out and uncomfortable, indicating room for improvement.
The property is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, but there are comments about steep stairs, a need for better banisters, and maintenance issues with balcony furniture, suggesting some areas need attention.
There are no mentions of gifts or special touches that would indicate the level of thoughtfulness, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

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.

What a location! Well appointed. Great views. As the accommodation is on the second floor there are two flights to access the bulk of it and then a third flight to descend for the remaining rooms - as long as you are fit and able, this property is amazing.Three generations of my family stayed there, age 5 to 71, and the layout was brilliant for the seven of us.

A lovely spacious apartment in the heart of Lyme Regis with good parking. Nicely furnished and mainly well equipped. Some minor maintenance needed but did not detract from pleasant stay. Light and airy with wonderful views
