“Lovely cottage, clean and very well equipped.”

Great to have a parking space outside. Really easy walk to and from town, which was nice as a lot quieter than being nearer to all the pubs and shops.

“Lovely cottage and fab location.”

We love the walk down the river to Lyme Regis or up to Uplyme. The cottage had everything we needed. Parking is very useful.

“Beautiful little cottage in a lovely location.”

This is our second stay and will probably not be our last. Very well equipped, beautifully decorated, a little gem.

- Lesley, September 2024

Hi! As relatively new owners we are delighted to hear from a return guest! Thank for your lovely review and we hope your third visit is just as enjoyable Property Owner
Jane September 2024

“Really enjoyed our stay at this cottage.”

We particularly appreciated how clean the property was, and it was very nicely decorated, lots of lovely, homely touches. Everything you could possibly need in a holiday cottage was provided, and it was only a short walk down into Lyme Regis itself, alongside the beautiful river walk.

- Jane, September 2024

Thank you for this lovely feedback. We hope you will enjoy a stay at Rover Lym Cottage again soon! Property Owner

“We had a lovely stay at River Lym Cottage.”

The house was perfect for us and easy access to the beach and Lyme Regis shops. There are walks for the dogs right from your doorstep too. The facilities had everything we needed and the house was comfortable and clean. Parking is a little tight for my estate car, but I managed it with a bit of back and forth! Thank you for a lovely stay.

- Charlotte, August 2024

Thank you for the feedback. So glad you enjoyed your stay! We hope you return to River Lym Cottage soon. Property Owner

“Clean and tidy cottage would not stay here again due to parking at the cottage ...”

Clean and tidy cottage would not stay here again due to parking at the cottage very tight and with the road closed at one end of the road very hard to turn around there was large builder vans parked everywhere The comfort at the cottage was very basic beds and furniture were not very comfortable it did have a downstairs toilet, which was not listed it is a nice 10 minute walk to the beach

- Deborah, July 2024

Thank you for your feedback. It is regrettable that you struggled with parking your car in the single space. Onsite parking is a rarity in Lyme Regis although there are plenty of options if this proved tricky. Unfortunately, the road closure is out of our hands, but I appreciate this could have made parking more of a challenge. Last year, the cottage was refurbished throughout to a high standard with all new furniture, for example, the double mattress is a Simba Hybrid that has received excellent independent reviews. We do hope that you consider a return visit to River Lym Cottage where you will be very welcome. Property Owner

“Great location with parking for medium size car.”

Lovely decor and welcoming feel. Kitchen well equipped however we missed not having a tea pot. Useful having mini freezer compartment on fridge. Really comfy bed. Great to have shower and bath and second toilet. Nice to have option to pop heating on for towel rail as week was rather cool considering its July! We did have an issue with tv on first night would not turn on. Used batteries from my torch in handset which fixed it. Later in week had to report lack of signal from aerial. Maintenance came and fixed but happened again hour later. May need further investigation.

- Sally, June 2024

Thank you for the feedback. We will endeavour to ensure batteries are replaced regularly & will investigate the aerial issue as this has not been a problem before. A teapot has now been provided! We hope you visit River Lym Cottage again soon :) Property Owner

“Can’t recommend this cottage highly enough.”

Clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated. Everything we needed was there. Lovely location and within easy reach of the town and seafront, it’s just perfect. Have already booked a return stay in September.

- Lesley, April 2024

Thank you for the fantastic feedback. We hope you have a wonderful stay next month! Property Owner
Estelle February 2024

“This was a perfectly situated and pristine place to stay.”

I couldn’t fault anything at all, I loved the decor and small personal touches. My only comment would be that the sofa wasn’t hugely comfortable but I do appreciate this is a rental property and furniture needs to be both cost efficient and sturdy! All in all we had a wonderful stay and hope to return. Thank you.

- Estelle, February 2024

Thank you for your feedback. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay at River Lym Cottage & happy to hear you will be returning! Property Owner
Ian February 2024

“The house is a beautiful cottage which is very comfortable.”

It made our stay relaxed and easy to use. There is a short lovely walk into Lyme and positioned in a nice quiet location. Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to have such a wonderful experience. Regards Ian and Louise

- Ian, February 2024

Thank you so much for the lovely feedback. We’re really pleased that you had a great stay. Hope to see you again. Thank you Property Owner
N December 2023

“The only minor problem was a slight odour, which seemed to be coming from the drain under the kitchen sink.”

It was most evident when we first entered the cottage. It did not spoil our overall enjoyment but is probably worth investigating. It may also to alert future guests who want to park at the property, that it helps to be good at parallel parking!

- N, December 2023

We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at River Lym. Thank you for letting us know about the drain smell, we have asked the team to take a look. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner
Caroline November 2023

“Fantastic holiday at River Lym cottage!”

We found it very comfortable and loved the beautiful walk down to the town along the river. We found the sound of the water very relaxing. Thank you for the lovely welcome goodies! The only confusion was around the recycling/waste- it wasn’t clear where to put food waste or what day the bins would be collected (no calendar).

- Caroline, November 2023

Thank you for the lovely feedback. We have updated the welcome book & labelled the bins so hopefully arrangements will be clearer. Property Owner
Caroline October 2023

“Loved our stay in River Lym Cottage, parking was awkward but possible and welcome.”

The details on rubbish disposal were not clear so we weren’t sure which bins to use, maybe some clarification needed in the instructions? Great location for getting into town and dog walking along the river. A warm and cosy place to stay.

- Caroline, October 2023

Thank you for the feedback. We will certainly update the information regarding waste arrangements. So glad you enjoyed your stay at River Lym Cottage. Property Owner
