“Lovely comfortable little cottage, spotless clean, well equipped with everything you need, generous welcome pack on arrival was a really nice thought.”

My only criticism - the leather sofa is very uncomfortable and bed pillows need a refresh. I'm glad I took my own pillow! Two private parking spaces which is a real bonus in Lyme Regis. Reversed into space with no problems. Secure garden for children and dogs. Location is perfect for exploring the coastline and is a short walk to beach, shops, cafes and restaurants. Would definitely recommend and we hope to return

The location of seagull cottage is excellent and two parking spaces in Lyme a real bonus - the accommodation is well equipped and very comfortable and cosy - it’s our second time staying here and we hope to be back

“Great location with parking.”

No need to drive through Lyme Regis which was useful during busy periods. Close to the beach and shops. A great cottage with everything you could possibly need. Every pot and pan provided! Spotless on arrival. Comfortable beds in beautiful bedrooms. A large hall which provided plenty of room for suitcases along with a bench for putting your shoes on which was very useful. We will return.

“Wonderful property.”

Ideally situated, loved by us and the dogs. The downstairs wet room was perfect to clean the dogs down without making a mess in the living room. Only slightly faulted by the overflowing kitchen drain which is making a mess of the patio. The back outside windows need a good clean also. None of this would stop us booking again though.

- Robert, May 2024

Thank you Robert, we're so delighted both you and your dogs enjoyed Seagull Cottage. We immediately sorted both the issues with the garden, thank you for your feedback. We're looking forward to you returning. The Owners Property Owner
Vicky April 2024

“We stayed for a few days at Seagull Cottage.”

It was a beautiful cottage perfectly situated only a few minutes from the front. The cottage had all the amenities to cook which we did a couple of times. At the end of our stay the sun came out so we were able to spend time in the lovely garden. Great cottage would highly recommend

- Vicky, April 2024
Mark February 2024

“We stayed at Seagull Cottage last year and enjoyed it.”

It has a great location particularly for a young family - close to the beach, cafes, restaurants and the wide range of shops. But the absence of a washing machine (there was one last year) was not welcome. Had we been informed that it had been removed, we may not have booked the cottage (Lyme has no shortage of suitable places to stay). A family holiday let without washing facilities is an oddity.

- Mark, February 2024

We’re so pleased you enjoyed your stay and we agree the cottage is in a great location. We had guest feedback that they would prefer a dishwasher as there is a laundrette a minutes walk away. We changed the listing to reflect this so we’re really sorry to hear you would have preferred a washing machine. The Owners Property Owner
Julie February 2024

“Really lovely cottage with everything you need.”

After damp walks around Lyme Regis it was great to come back to a fire and cosy house. Would book again.

Margaret December 2023

“Need to supply more bin liners.”

two for a weeks stay is not sufficient

- Margaret, December 2023

We do hope that you enjoyed your recent holiday at Seagull Cottage. As the cottage is self-catering we only supply a basic starter pack, including toilet rolls, bin bags etc. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner
Christopher December 2023

“This is our second visit to seagull cottage and we have already booked in our third.”

It's in a brilliant location, walking distance to shops and beach and the addition of the parking is like gold dust. The cottage is a real home from home with everything you could need during your stay. Launderette is a one minute walk across the car park. Would just like to mention that the shower over bath was draining very slowly so might need some attention but otherwise all perfect.

- Christopher, December 2023

We're so delighted you enjoyed your stay and thank you for letting us know about the bath, we fixed the drain. Property Owner
Stephen November 2023

“Great property.”

Parking only for 1 car not the two described - I think you could, just, get two Fiat 500's in the space with much manoevering. But who arrives in 2 Fiat 500's. Difficult to get in and out with the single car - and I have a small car. Otherwise we much liked Seagull Cottage. Sykes are aweful. It took them the better part of 15 minutes hanging on the phone before they could manage to let me give them £250 for an extra 2 nights. I had given up but in the end I rang again Lyme Bay Holidays and they sorted it out. By contrast with Sykes the folk at Lyme Bay Holidays (Millie) were excellent. We shall never book a holiday with Sykes.

- Stephen, November 2023

We are sorry to hear of your experience when trying to extend your booking. The property provides two parking spaces which fit 2 medium sized vehicles, though guests on occasion have parked a larger people carrier. We hope you enjoyed your stay in Lyme Regis. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner
Charles October 2023

“Lovely cottage with all facilities.”

For owner: Two door keys are required. Not everyone wants to place key in combination box if guests are returning at different times. As mentioned by other visitors would be better with footstool for better relaxation. TV is difficult to navigate - could not find instructions. Would be helpful if both switches on wall for cooker were indicated- One says cooker and if activated the cooker does not work -you need to switch on the other, un-labelled switch too.

- Charles, October 2023

Thank you for pointing out the issue with the switch, we will organise for our Maintenance Team to take a look. We hope you enjoyed your stay. The Lyme Bay Team Thank you for the great suggestion of a footstool we have now add one so you can sit back and relax with your feet up. The Owners Property Owner
Elaine September 2023

“Seagull cottage is tucked away just off Church Street.”

Excellent location! Just a small stroll into Lyme Regis with two parking spaces, which was very useful. The cottage was extremely clean and welcoming we felt at home immediately. Two bathrooms were ideal for our party and the small courtyard garden was perfectly safe for both of our dogs too. We have been to Lyme Regis on many occasions and would happily return to Seagull in the future

- Elaine, September 2023
George September 2023

“Really nice property five minutes walk from the beach.”

Great base for either staying in the town or for exploring further afield as you don’t have to go through the town to get to the main road out of Lyme Regis. Parking for two cars a real benefit and a secure back garden really handy if you have dogs or small children. Very well equipped and very comfortable, definitely recommend.

- George, September 2023
Helen June 2023

“Brilliant property.”

Very comfortable beds. Only suggestion is a washing machine. We saw one in the photos and would have liked one as we had sailing gear each day

- Helen, June 2023
Jenna June 2023

“Fabulous accommodation and spotlessly clean.”

Only downside was that the washing machine had been removed and replaced with a dish washer!

- Jenna, June 2023

Thank you for such lovely comments about the cottage. The property owner has swapped the washing machine for a dishwasher as she felt this would be preferable. Although we don't include the washing machine in the property description, I see that we still show a photo of the kitchen with the washing machine and will remove this. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner
Malcolm June 2023

“Nice comfortable cottage although bedrooms are on the cosy side.”

Well equipped could do with a carpet sweeper to enable a quick whisk round to keep things tidy. Garden sparse but understandable as it gets very hot in the sun. Lyme Regis is lovely with plenty of places to eat out but beware traffic in the town is very busy, pavements are narrow and there are some very steep streets. Parking on site is a great bonus as there is no nearby car parks or on street parking.

- Malcolm, June 2023
Sam June 2023

“Great cottage in the heart of Lyme Regis.”

Definitely booking for next year!!

Cathy May 2023

“Absolutely loved this cottage.”

Very well equiped and very clean and fresh. Fabulous welcome pack with everything we needed on the day of arrival. Brilliant location in Lyme Regis with it's own parking and close to the sea front. The downstairs wet room was so useful when returning from the beach with sandy wet dogs. Will certainly look to book again if I return to Lyme one day.

- Cathy, May 2023
Nina May 2023

“A great cottage with ideal location so close to town and yet quiet with a West facing sheltered back garden.”

No washing machine or tumble dryer, however the launderette is a few metres away. Why oh Why is Lyme Bay Holidays not offering travel cots and travel high chairs as a rentable additional extra?

- Nina, May 2023

Thank you for your comments. We will pass on your feedback to the owner for consideration. Unfortunately we are no longer able to offer the hire of high chairs and travel cots, but some properties do now offer these as standard. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner
Sandra May 2023

“We've had a lovely family holiday.”

Great location and lots of activities completed, all without moving the car. We had a great time in the rock pools, looking for fossils, having a dip in the sea, and the obligatory pint(s!) in the brewery! Baby Millie even started walking... so a holiday we'll never forget!!

- Sandra, May 2023
Cathy May 2023

“3 ladies & 2 dogs enjoyed our stay at this lovely cottage, very much.”

Location is perfect! Cottage has everything you need for a comfortable stay. Thank you so much!

Paul May 2023

“We have had a lovely long weekend here- and the sun was shining for an added bonus!”

Lovely strolls along the promenade and Cobb, fossil hunting in Charmouth and a nice poke around the shops. Thoroughly recommend Strawberry Tree for yummy tapas! And this lovely house.

- Paul, May 2023
Patricia April 2023

“Cottage was comfortable and well equipped.”

Excellent location great to have parking. In terms of improvement, the garden area is not very attractive and would benefit from decent and comfortable garden furniture and possibly a BBQ.

- Patricia, April 2023
Peter Sep 2022

“We've had a most enjoyable stay at the cottage.”

We certainly approve of the upgrades to the kitchen, bathroom, and addition of the wet room. We are the original owners of Seagull Cottage- we named it, and in fact still have the model of the seagull that sat proudly in the front window. Sadly, we had to sell it in 2005 but never thought we'd be able to return. So much has passed in 17 years, but we are delighted to be able to return home, albeit for a couple of days. We have already booked for a longer stay next year, we are so grateful to stay again. Thank you for the welcome goodie bag, a nice touch.

The property

Seagull Cottage can be found in the middle of Lyme Regis, a small coastal town in Dorset. Up to six guests can stay in the cottage's three bedrooms, making it the ideal setting for friends and families in search of a seascape in Dorset. The cottage has a colourful exterior, bright, light, and airy interior, private parking, a rarity in the town, and a private patio with furniture. Relax with your loved ones on the plush sofas in the living room as you watch a movie on the Smart TV and enjoy the warm ambience provided by the wood-burning stove after a day at the beach. Milk, tea, and a variety of locally sourced produce and treats are included in the welcome pack provided upon arrival to get your holiday off to a great start. Enjoy a meal together as a family in the fully-equipped kitchen, or head outside to your private patio to raise a glass or enjoy some alfresco dining. After the sun goes down, head upstairs to tuck the kids into the fun twin room, then choose from the two available doubles, all of which are serviced by a well equipped first floor bathroom and a wet room on the ground floor. Get some sleep so you can enjoy another thrilling day at the beach. Within walking distance of Seagull Cottage are the Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium, the Lyme Regis Museum, the Dinosaurland Fossil Museum, and Jurassic Footgolf. The Pilot Boat and Hix's Fish and Oyster House are just two of the many great eateries and watering holes in town. Travelling further afield, the charming coastal town of Sidmouth, home to the world-famous Donkey Sanctuary or the pretty fishing village of Beer with its art galleries are within easy reach. Seagull Cottage is well positioned to explore all that Lyme Regis and this popular stretch of Jurassic Coast has to offer.
