Neil
December 2024

“A very comfortable and higher-spec property with easy access to the ‘old’ centre of Lyme Regis - you are literally metres away from the shops (but just far enough away to be quiet and private) We appreciated the dedicated off-road parking facility and the fact that we could simply park our car, leave it and enjoy our winter break.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

“The cottage was spotlessly clean.”

It’s in a wonderful location & has off street parking which is great. There’s everything you want in the cottage. The furniture & beds are comfortable. We are hoping to book again for the summer. I can recommend this cottage without reservation.

Thank you.

“We have had an amazing long weekend here in Lyme Regis.”

Our 2 year old daughter has loved the cottage and exploring (as have we all). The cottage is perfect and caters for literally everything you could ask for. Very cosy too. I have been coming to Lyme since I was a baby, and bringing our daughter here has been very special. the local aquarium was brilliant and very interesting and interactive for us all, especially Grace (she loved feeding the fish!) We would love to come back soon. Thank you for a lovely stay.

“We've had a lovely week here exploring Lyme Regis, Donkey Sanctuary, Caves at Torquay, Trams @ Seaton and a few other locations.”

First time here and loved the location of the cottage, very clean and homely.

“The upholstered chair needs cleaning, threadbare towels, dinner plates old and with brown stains and only three tea plates.”

Lounge windows need cleaning (childs hand prints inside and seagull poo outside). You cannot deal with the seagull problem but the council needs to do something as it was not possible to use the terrace due to their aggressive presence.

- Phillip, September 2024

Dear Phillip, I am very sorry that your stay at Blacksmiths Cottage was unsatisfactory. All feedback is much appreciated - thank you. Since your visit I have been able to spend a few days at the cottage myself and can confirm the following. The carpets and upholstered chairs are due to be cleaned in between bookings on 18/19 November. . Plates have been replaced and added to the kitchen cupboards and also new glasses and mugs. More new dinner plates will be added when I can visit again next month. My cleaner has been through all the towels to check that none are threadbare. Window cleaning is booked every 4 - 6 weeks, organised by LBH. Please understand that the cottage is booked back to back each summer with a large volume of traffic. There are normally breakages and some additional soiling all of which is addressed as soon as the main booking season is over. Unfortunately the seagulls are becoming more intrusive. Fortunately I have not had any problems on the front patio. Although last year I had one fly into me as I was walking down Broad Street! The more of us that complain to Dorset Council the better. Thank you again for your comments. Best regards Deborah (Owner) Property Owner

“We had a lovely holiday at Blacksmith's cottage helped by amazing weather!”

Having stayed in many different properties in Lyme over the years this one is perfect location wise. Just a lovely walk through the gardens to the beach front and right in the town. Cute front little terrace to sit and watch the world go by, you can see the sea past the Bell Cliff and two parking spaces behind which is rare in the centre! Property is detached and quite compact but we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay 2 adults 2 children. Decor is an eclectic mix of older furniture which lets it down a little...but clean and tidy and all that you need. Overall I would definitely stay here again

“Great little place.”

Close to town with parking which is really important for us. Only criticism is that the beds were too hard apart from that it was really good.

“We’ve been twice to The Blacksmith’s Cottage, it’s great, location, views, comfort, everything you want from a holiday home.”

“Fantastic location, perfectly situated in the heart of Lyme Regis.”

Just a minutes walk to Tesco, and there are several takeaways, shops and restaurants within 5 minutes. A cosy cottage that is even better than in the photos, with lovely views of Golden Cap and the sea. Easy parking at the rear of the property with 2 spaces, so lots of space to get kids and luggage out of the car. The cottage was perfect for our family of 4, with 2 kids under 10. The modern (and very quiet) dishwasher and washer dryer in the kitchen was a brilliant addition. The electric shower was very nice too. The cottage is well maintained and the kitchen looked very new. Minor suggestion for improvement... a more comfortable mattress or firmer pillows in the master bedroom - the mattress felt fine, but as side sleepers we ended up with neck ache.

“This was our second visit to Blacksmiths Cottage.”

Very happy with everything.

- Sheila, November 2023
Rosemarie November 2023

“Disappointed that the shower did not work but very pleased that a good new one was installed on the Tuesday.”

On a safety point, there is no grab rail on the wall and this is really needed because it is easy to slip when climbing in to the bath to have a shower.

- Rosemarie, November 2023
Florence October 2023

“A lovely, centrally located property.”

Very comfortable beds and warm house. Nicely fitted kitchen and good parking. However, the shower broke down on the Wednesday, we rang straightaway, reported the problem to a member of staff but never heard anything after that. We had to try and wash under a tap! Frankly, this was poor and I really feel that we should have some of our payment refunded.

- Florence, October 2023

We are sorry to hear that there was an issue with the shower during your stay. We did try to resolve this during your stay so apologies if this wasn't communicated to you. We hope you enjoyed your time in Lyme Regis. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“Clean, comfortable and superb mattresses - clean and new kitchen equipment Front bedroom would benefit from blind to blackout street light close by on main road.”

“Lovely position, great for beach and shops, ideal for 2 persons, a bit small for ...”

Lovely position, great for beach and shops, ideal for 2 persons, a bit small for more, the only concern was the iron bedsteads at the bottom of the beds which for a tallish person meant sleeping diagonally

Carole October 2022

“This is a comfortable cottage, well equipped and in a lovely position in Lyme Regis with lovely views over the town and the sea.”

We were lucky enough to have lovely autumn weather. Really happy to make a return visit.

“Loose tap in bathroom and loose hook on door.”

Carpets are showing wear and stains. Also crack above terrace door.

- David, September 2022
Pauline September 2022

“We had a lovely time at the cottage it was great to have parking as it is a problem in Lyme Regis .”

We would recommend the cottage to anyone it has everything you need and very clean, would go back again.

- Pauline, September 2022

“Lovely fully furnished cottage in a great position in Lyme Regis close to all amenities and the sea front.”

- Raymond, September 2022
Louise July 2022

“A delightful holiday cottage, our second time back and we do hope to return again in the future.”

(only one thing that I feel would make a good improvement - this is just for the owner- a new mattress on the double bed would be great. )

- Louise, July 2022
