“We knew what to expect when we arrived.”
It’s an huge old listed building divided into flats ideally situated behind the trio of beachfront pubs and restaurants. It’s an iconic building with a lot of history’.. The first floor
Flat is very spacious with 3 bedrooms .The kitchen has all you need for a family of six including 2 ovens , dishwasher, washing machine and drier , fridge and a freezer .The lounge had a huge squishy sofa and a comfy chair for Grandad .. Grandchildren loved the bunks , mum and dad slept well in double bed and grandparents had the double with en-suite . There is some renovation / building work going on but this was made clear to us at the time of booking . It was planned around our stay and wasn’t an issue.
We had plenty of storage , constant hot water and lots of towels . We loved waking up to rooftop views over the Cobb . The beach is on your doorstop . We decided to eat lunch at home a few times after seeing flocks of seagulls rob people of their food ! The beady eyed raiders are a protected species - who knew ?
We found it useful to use the washing machine and return home with clean clothes - didn’t use the tumble dryer, just airer . We used the outside space to sit out which is a lovely wooden balcony strong enough for us all ! . The flat had a huge tv and I cast tv from my phone . There is Roku and Netflix but we were hardly ever in as the Pubs do great food , huge range of gin and beers and deserve your support.
The Cabanya carpark is nearest and avoids climbing Cobb road . It has an app where you can extend you booking when you need . We Used this for convenience and we knew it would be about £20 a day . We booked this flat for convenience to the beach and because we knew when the kids went home , we would enjoy the space . I’ve been coming to Lyme my whole life as I had family born here and have now booked many times with Lyme Bay holidays over 20 yrs .Now we are older , we needed somewhere close to the beach so we could come home any time we chose to , with everything on our doorstep . I walked to Tesco and bakeries with out any issues and the welcome pack was lovely .
It’s a lovely apartment and we knew the prices being charged locally . Yes , Lyme Regis is expensive but we
Love it and have a history here . If we come to another Fossil festival with family , we would love to stay again . It’s a lovely apartment .
