“Very cosy, comfortable & well-equipped cottage in the very heart of Lyme Regis.”

Just a stone’s throw from sea front & the main shopping street with an abundance of cafes & pubs. Very impressed with all the facilities in the property and for the trouble the owners had taken to provide a detailed welcome pack with milk and snacks. The only slight issue was that the water in the shower went cold temporarily every few minutes - however, once knowing that the hot water would return after a few seconds it was no problem, and possibly just a case of supply issues in the area ...

The only slight issue was that the water in the shower went cold temporarily every few minutes - however, once knowing that the hot water would return after a few seconds it was no problem, and possibly just a case of supply issues in the area. The absence of parking was no problem at all - we booked a private driveway a few minutes walk away, and were able to stop temporarily about 20 yards up the road for the cottage to unload. Would definitely stay here again if re-visiting Lyme Regis.

“Basic cottage in the best location.”

2 min walk to the beach, two bakeries next door. Be aware that the woodmead parking is £80 per week.

- Agata, August 2024

Thank you for your review. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the location of the cottage. We are disappointed however to hear that you have found the cottage to be ‘basic’ as previous guests felt otherwise. Please feel free to contact Lyme Bay with any specifics which may help for future guests. Parking is always a challenge in Lyme Regis especially properties in such prime locations. Thank you Property Owner

“Excellent property in an ideal location.”

Very well equipped with everything you could possibly need. The welcome package was more than generous, I have never had one like it. The only down side for my husband and I were the stairs which we found challenging, as my husband is a bit unsteady on his feet and I suffer with arthritis. For a younger, healthy person it wouldn't be a problem. A thoroughly enjoyable holiday.

“The cottage was seaside post card pretty, quaint with lots of character.”

Centrally located amongst shops, restaurants, cafes which are all dog friendly and of course the wonderful beach. Although the cottage does not have a garden or outside seating area it was only a matter of yards walk away to find greenery and the beach. Recommend the walk to Beer from Seaton along the coastal path, we only had a 3 day stay but we didn’t want to go home! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and so did our dog!

- Angela, July 2024

Thank you for such a lovely review. We would love for you to return in the future. Thank you Property Owner

“Fantastic stay at a great little cottage on the heart of the town.”

The property was well provisioned and very comfortable. Will definitely be starting here again

“We selected this property because it was central in the town and as we were not planning on exploring the wider area of Dorset or Devon.”

We were not disappointed. The house is very conveniently located for a week's stat in Lyme where we hadn't visited before. It was very comfortable,be specially the beds, and the constant sound of the river burbling its way past the house on its way to the sea was delightful. Occasionally, when the tides were high, the waves reached as fast as the house which just added to the experience. As with any holiday rental , even with the best, there are always some minor niggles. One such in this house is that there isn't a collander for draining pasta and the corkscrew is a bit iffy. We also noticed dust falling from gaps in the ceiling above the cooker hood. An easy fix. Sealant around the bath could do with replacing as well. All in all though we had a very enjoyable stay.

“Had a lovely week in Lyme at this cosy, comfortable cottage.”

Facilities were excellent, very clean, super comfy beds and welcome pack of tea, coffee, milk, biscuits etc, that were greatly appreciated after a six hour drive! The location is fantastic, cafes, beach and pubs all within a five minute walk, didn’t drive anywhere all week, just relaxed and enjoyed it. Definitely recommend and will return.

“Spent 5 lovely nights at Riverdance.”

The cottage is well equipped with plenty of space for 4 people. The sound of the river is very relaxing. Located very close to the sea front and shops. Recommend Woodmead car park.

Mr Jonathan Lyles Aug 2023

“Nicely refurbished property close to bars, restaurants and coffee shops.”

Plenty of hot water from the shower as well. Could do with some hangars for trousers and more cutlery but these are small details. Internet is slow. Would re-book.

“Just got back from a lovely break at the Riverdance Cottage and have to say the owners had though of everything!”

From the kitchen facilities and pint of milk in the fridge, to the guide books and walks left by the sofas. As a family we couldn't fault it. It was decorated beautifully and I even found some of the furnishings in the local shops, of which there are plenty!. The location is ideal for the beach, cafes and restaurants. I was worried about the parking, but we bought a 3-day permit at the car park. I would definitely recommend Riverdance, and hopefully return for a short-break in the future.

“Had a lovely short break at Riverdance, we’ve never stopped anywhere that is better equipped than here.”

The cottage was decorated beautifully with a home from home feel rather than holiday accommodation. The bedrooms were lovely, one of the comfiest beds I’ve slept in. Location was perfect for everything, would have been easier if there had been outside space for the dogs but it really wasn’t a problem and would definitely recommend and stay there again.

Mrs Sharon Butler Jul 2023

“Fantastic location, couldn’t be better.”

Lovely cottage and furnished to a high spec. Beds were very comfy. We had a great few days. Recommend people visit the Mill and the brewery as very close by. Lovely cafe next door but one, where we had a lovely breakfast. Thank you, will definitely return for another mini break.

A stroll along the seafront takes you to the family friendly beaches and iconic Cobb harbour with its fishing boats and pleasure boat trips. An area renowned for its fossils. Why not learn about the area’s history and heritage with a visit to one of the local museums, or head out along the shores and try your hand at finding your own ammonites.
