“Lovely place to stay.”

Everything was provided.

Paul September 2023

“The property was very comfortable, clean and well equipped.”

Perfect for a family seaside holiday and so close to the sea front. Lyme Regis itself was just delightful. We were glad we didn’t take our dogs though as having no garden would have made life difficult.

- Paul, September 2023

So pleased you enjoyed your holiday in Lyme Regis and had a comfortable stay. The property dates from the 1700s and like most of the other properties in Monmouth Street has no outside space. We are fortunate that there is a communal garden in the square opposite the house with easy access for everyone. We hope that you might visit again. Property Owner

“Bed in main room was uncomfortable- parking just to unpack and repack the car was a night mare .”

Cups Plates and cutlery were dirty ( poss from last user).house smells damp . Positives close to the beach and small local shops . Lovely and quiet at night .

- Carol, July 2023

We're sorry to hear that previous guests didn't leave the crockery clean for your arrival. The house is located on a narrow street, which can be busy with pedestrians during the daytime. We hope you enjoyed the beaches. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner
Kath February 2023

“A really great place to stay.”

Super location, with easy access to the town, beach and local walks. The house was clean, comfortable, well-resourced and well-maintained. Spread over 4 floors, with a games room in the basement, it was perfect for our group of three mums and three teens.

- Kath, February 2023

We're glad to hear that you all had a great stay. Property Owner

“Does what it says on the label!”

A clean and comfortable house with spacious accommodation. I will certainly consider booking again.

R & J August 2022

“Enjoyed the stay with a place nearly 300 yrs old.”

The bunk bed room very small so really ideal for children. We have stayed at many places in Lyme. Only thing missing was some oven gloves Thanks

- R & J, August 2022

So pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Lyme. I am so sorry that the oven gloves were missing. I can only assume that housekeeping had them in for laundry as we had provided 3 sets at the beginning of the season. Thanks for letting us know. Property Owner
Mary July 2022

“Lovely house, all beautifully prepared and appreciated the local produce!”

Dishwasher isn’t really big enough or very efficient - but otherwise all great, thank you

- Mary, July 2022
Sara July 2022

“Beautiful old property.”

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! It was conveniently located for the beach, restaurants and fossil hunting. The only downside were the noisy seagulls at night time and early in the morning (which I know can't be helped). We hope to visit again, thank you.

- Sara, July 2022
Claire July 2022

“Lovely house in a great position.”

Very well equipped. I think you should make it clear that there is no garden.

- Claire, July 2022

So pleased you enjoyed the property during your holiday at Lyme and glad that the weather was good. The majority of these older fisherman’s cottages have no outside space in Monmouth Street. There is an enclosed communal garden in the Square for everyone to use. We trust that you will come back to beautiful Lyme Regis. Property Owner

“We really enjoyed our stay in your property and the welcome hamper was a really lovely treat.”

Thank you. We also appreciated the parking voucher. The house was clean, comfortable and spacious. It was also an added bonus to have a games room.

- Jan, June 2022

So pleased you enjoyed your holiday at Waltham House and appreciated the little extras. We do hope that you will visit us again. Property Owner

The property

Waltham House is a 17th century Grade II listed property positioned in one of the oldest streets in Lyme Regis over looking a small public garden in Georges Square. This large and comfortable property has been modernised but still retains some of the original character. It includes exposed local Blue Lias stone walls and some gently sloping floors which add to the overall charm of the house. It is laid out over four floors, including a basement snooker room, and with the added bonus of a double sofa bed in the dining room there is enough space for larger families or groups of friends. The ground floor wet room is ideal for 'hosing` off sandy children after a day at the beach. A welcome pack for your arrival ensures a great start to your holiday and will include milk, tea and a selection of locally sourced produce and treats. There is a good stock of beach essentials including buckets and spades for those sunny days, and with a selection of books, games, and the snooker table for `very occasional` rainy days it makes this an ideal holiday home. Please note: A maximum of three dogs are accepted. GROUND FLOOR Entrance hall Wet room: Shower, w.c.
