Seagull Cottage is highly praised for its prime location in Lyme Regis, cleanliness, and the convenience of on-site parking. Guests appreciate the well-equipped space and the thoughtful welcome pack, though some mention the lack of a washing machine. The property's comfort and the addition of a wet room are noted positively, with many guests planning return visits.
Guests that stayed at this property said
Guests consistently describe the cottage as very clean and fresh, indicating high standards of cleanliness throughout the property.
The location is frequently highlighted as brilliant and perfect, being close to the seafront, amenities, and with the added benefit of parking.
The cottage is often referred to as comfortable and cosy, with comfortable beds and a homely feel. However, some guests find the bedrooms cosy (implying small) and suggest the addition of a footstool for better relaxation.
Facilities are generally well-received with a well-equipped kitchen and the addition of a wet room. However, several guests miss the washing machine, and there are mixed comments about the garden furniture and maintenance issues like a slow-draining shower and kitchen drain.
The welcome pack is mentioned as a nice touch, demonstrating thoughtfulness. However, it should be noted that such gifts are a kind gesture and may not be provided on every occasion.
About this property
Lying in the centre of the coastal town of Lyme Regis in Dorset is Seagull Cottage. This idyllic cottage with its colourful exterior, bright, light and airy interior, private parking for 2 cars which is a rarity in the town, and private patio with furniture welcomes up to six guests in three bedrooms; the perfect setting for friends and families seeking a seascape in Dorset.
After a fun-filled day at the beach, enter your new home-from-home and snuggle up with your loved ones on the plush sofas in the living/dining room, browse the array of films on the Smart TV while the woodburning stove creates a homely glow. A welcome pack on arrival ensures a great start to your holiday and will include milk, tea and a selection of locally sourced produce and treats.
Gather the family around the dining table to enjoy the meal rustled up in the fully-equipped kitchen; or enjoy some alfresco dining on the private patio in the rear enclosed garden. When the sky darkens, travel up to the first floor where you can tuck the kids into the fun twin room before choosing from the two remaining doubles; the rooms are serviced by a sleek bathroom and ground-floor wet room. Rest up, ready for another exciting day on the coast.
Seagull Cottage rests in the centre of town where you can enjoy a fine selection of independent shops and variety of attractions, including the Fossil Museum, Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium, and Jurassic Footgolf. There are also a number of excellent restaurants and bars in town, including The Pilot Boat and Hix's Fish and Oyster House.
Travelling further afield, the charming coastal town of Sidmouth, home to the world-famous Donkey Sanctuary or the quaint 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.
Lyme Regis is a charming seaside town with plenty to see and do, including a labyrinth of narrow streets lined with art galleries, antique shops, and quaint cafes. Take a walk on the famous Cobb causeway that overlooks the ancient harbour, where you can go on fishing trips or hunt for fossils. The gentle shelving sands and clear waters of Lyme Bay are ideal for unwinding, while the scenic coastal path provides excellent walking opportunities and breathtaking views of the stunning Jurassic coast. This is the kind of holiday destination you'll never forget!

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.

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

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