About this property

Whiteleaf Cottage is a charming two-bedroom cottage located in a secluded pedestrian lane in the heart of Lyme Regis just a few paces from the town centre and seafront. With its origins stretching back to Saxon times, Sherborne Lane is a mix of quaint and colourful period cottages of individual character and style. The independent shops, restaurants and galleries are only a short walk away making this an ideal location from which to explore this historic and picturesque seaside town.

Bright and comfortably furnished with an open-plan living area, Whiteleaf Cottage makes a perfect choice for couples or small families at any time of the year. The lounge with plush seating is perfect for relaxing after a day at the seaside area. The kitchen is bright and well-equipped for preparing meals which can be enjoyed together around the dining table. Step out from the kitchen to a rear courtyard garden with pretty shrubs and planting. An additional, raised seating area is the perfect spot to enjoy a glass of something chilled.

Upstairs there are two double bedrooms. One at the front of the property enjoys views over Sherborne Lane and Lyme Regis. The second double is a more compact bedroom and has views over the garden at the rear with both bedrooms serviced by a bright and well thought out bathroom with bath which has a shower over.

Just a few steps from the cottage is the town centre. There's a Tesco Express open 7am - 11pm, coffee houses and unique shops selling local produce and gifts. Food lovers will enjoy the great selection of eateries available. Fine dining restaurants such as Toms, Lilac or The Oyster and Fish House are great options for a special treat. Close by, is the old mill with its micobrewery, Spanish tapas restaurant and craft shops, while the many pubs serve a good selection of local food and beverages.

Lyme Regis seafront boasts a family friendly sandy beach with paddle boarding and other water sports for you to try. Regular boat trips run from the famous Cobb harbour giving visitors a chance to view the dramatic Jurassic Coast from the sea or spot some of the marine life living in the waters.

When it comes to exploring the area, there is so much to see and do. The South West coastal footpath is popular for walkers and takes in pretty fishing villages such as Seatown and Eype and rewards with breathtaking scenic views of the coast towards Chesil Beach and Portland on a clear day. For day trips, why not head to the popular fishing village of Beer with its limestone cliffs and pretty beach where it is easy to lose a few hours sat in a deckchair watching the local fishermen hauling their catches ashore. Or head to neighbouring Seaton, where you can hop on board and take a picturesque tram ride along the river Axe estuary through nature reserves to Colyford and Colyton.

For those looking to holiday in this beautiful part of Dorset, Whiteleaf Cottage is a wonderful choice.

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!

    We loved the town so much we’ve returned within 2 months of our last stay . It’s a delightful place ! If it’s available , there’s a small space beside the Church on the High St , to park & unload luggage , before taking it up the hill to Woodmead Car Park . We loved staying at Whiteleaf Cottage but it definitely needs a larger TV ! The New Year fireworks , The Duck Race & the “Lyme Lunge” ( where hundreds run into the sea in fancy dress !) was amazing & so much fun to watch ! We’ll be back !

    Lyme is very pretty with amenities on the doorstep which means lots of walking instead of driving!Just what we needed...thank you everyone

    You can load and unload at the top of Broad Street at the end of the lane which is just a few metres from the property. The staircase is only guarded by a single rail so not ideal for small children. A bit overlooked at the back from no. 4 when that is occupied but was vacant on our visit. The microwave is integral to the cooker, so maybe slightly tricky to use. A small issue upon our arrival (a double locked front door with no key for second lock) was solved within 15 minutes by Lyme Bay Holidays. Great info folder. Listen out for the dawn chorus sung mainly by seagulls! Overall we enjoyed a very comfortable and pleasant stay and would definitely return.
