The Lyme House - A Curious British Seaside Retreat

The Lyme House: This curious British seaside retreat is just what the doctor ordered for the perfect getaway. Whether it’s a traditional bucket and spade holiday with some family fossil foraging, or exploring the coastal path and all the rich heritage the Jurassic Coast has to offer then The Lyme House is the place for you! A fabulous place to stay just a short walk from the beach in such a beautiful part of the world, you will want to return again and again, a seaside home from home. We are tucked away at the quieter top of the town, commanding fine sea views and just a few minutes walk from the beach. We are dog friendly and a perfect base from which to explore Lyme itself and The Jurassic Coast all year round. The house has been recently completely renovated throughout. Full access of the property and gardens, we also have a 55" Ultra HD TV with with access to Netflix and Spotify. We let you get on and enjoy your holiday but are on hand to help at any time should the need arise. Lyme Regis is a town in West Dorset, England, 25 miles (40 km) west of Dorchester and 25 miles (40 km) east of Exeter. Nicknamed "The Pearl of Dorset", it lies at Lyme Bay on the English Channel coast at the Dorset–Devon border. It is noted for fossils found in cliffs and beaches that are part of the Heritage Coast – known commercially as the Jurassic Coast – a World Heritage Site. The harbour wall known as "The Cobb" appears in Jane Austen's novel Persuasion, in the John Fowles novel The French Lieutenant's Woman, and in the 1981 film of the same name, which was partly shot in Lyme Regis. The perfect UK holiday destination, the town for all seasons. The year begins in January with the annual Lyme Lunge, in which a costumed crowd runs courageously into the winter waters of the bay. April’s Fossil Festival showcases the Jurassic Coast’s most famous rocks; May’s Jazz and Blues Festival its most skilled musicians; August’s Regatta its swiftest boats. Summer closes with a carnival. Autumn opens with Guitars on the Beach, a sandy mass singalong. In November, fireworks dazzle and effigies burn in a huge beach bonfire. Like the town’s spectacular Christmas lights, Yuletide Lyme (a programme of seasonal events) is on throughout December. There’s something to satisfy every member of the family: mini-golf for Grandma, a museum for Mum, Dinosaurland for Dad, crabbing for the kids. Search the shore for fossils, the rock pools for dog whelks and, with the help of local fishermen, the sea for mackerel. For those who prefer the indoors there’s the Marine Theatre, which offers shows for all ages. Lovely Lyme Regis; It's nicknamed "The Pearl Of Dorset" for good reason! You can easily check in yourself with access to the property through a key code access lock box. Check in is after 3pm and checkout is at 10am latest on day of departure. Please be aware that Lyme Regis is situated in a valley. Very steep hills surround and are an integral part of getting around in the town, so expect aching calf muscles if you stay awhile!
