Cottage vacation rentals in Lyme Bay

Debbie’s place is a little piece of paradise, the setting is stunning, the gardens are fantastic and the cottage is warm and cosy whilst also being spacious and really well laid out. We had everything we needed and immediately felt at home. The open plan kitchen into the cosy living room left us all feeling connected, utility space was really useful, conservatory with stunning views allowed us to dine together and relax during the day. Outside area is also stunning for meals on the patio and bbq’s and the hot tub was great to relax in on an evening looking at the stars in peace and tranquility.. there’s a slight walk up to the property across a field but once you’re in the cottage and its gardens it’s worth every step. Great for the dogs too. Loads to do in the area, our highlight was Lyme Regis beach.. many thanks to Debbie and everyone who made us feel so welcome. We would go back to Debbie’s place in a heartbeat!

Surridge Cottage is beautiful, as soon as we arrived down the lane we knew it would be perfect and it was and more. The cottage has been beautifully restored with high end finishes. Even the heated floor in the bathroom didn't go missed (my daughter loved it). Great location, we took a few trips out. Went into Lyme Regis and took the children to Crealy. If you want a private country break in a cottage, you won't beat it. Thank you, The Mellors x

A very good house — quiet and peaceful. Everything was clean, tidy, and comfortable. I will definitely stay here again. Highly recommended

We thoroughly enjoyed our 4 night stay. The place is exactly as described, a very cosy little cottage with everything you need. Everywhere was clean and tidy apart from general dust you’d expected, with a lovely little basket of treats left for us on arrival. Check in was self done, flexible, and smooth, same with leaving. Lovely little village, a couple of local pubs within walking distance, lovely cafe just next door along with some very friendly ducks, chickens, lambs, goats and the occasional cat. Would absolutely stay here again and 100% recommend if you’re looking for a cosy and quiet get away. During our stay we explored Cheddar, Glastonbury and Frome, all within an hours drive and lots of lovely cafes and independent shops.

Amy's cottage is an amazing find if you're looking for a Somerset getaway. The place itself is beautiful and perfectly kitted out - especially if you have kids, with crockery, cutlery, a high chair and not to mention the wonderful assortment of games. The hot tub outside under the stars is an added bonus and one you should take up as it was a great way to wind down in the evenings. And Amy was the perfect host - friendly, knowledgeable with her guidebook, and highly responsive. Would definitely recommend her cottage and hope to visit again!

Our family of five, which includes three adult children, thoroughly enjoyed staying at The Nest. It is as pictured and described and spotlessly clean. We stayed for 3 nights, which included a wedding at a nearby venue, spending time in all the different areas of the cottage, and going for a lovely circular walk from the door. Many thanks Sarah

We had a really lovely stay here this week. The garden is beautiful, so peaceful and we even saw a woodpecker hopping around the grass one afternoon. Our daughter adored the trampoline and climbing frame, we also really enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub each day after exploring. We did day trips to Lyme Regis, Beer and Forde Abbey & Gardens. A perfect, peaceful spot to spend a few days, thank you.

A homely and clean accomodation on beautiful settings on a farm, reminding us of memories of staying on farms in our childhood. Approximatley 30 mins from Weymouth where we carried out our bucket list - a visit to Durdle Door by boat, attendning the festival, swimming in the sea, going on the big wheel, eating delicious meals and relaxing in beautiful harbour settings. And where we could return from our days out to relax in our wonderful accomodation, sit in the garden, with a barley field backed on to us, listen to the cows in nearby fields and relax in the hot tub! Spending time together away from the hustle and bustle of life. Our host Jane made us feel very welcome, providing us with helpful information and was at the end of a phone or text if we needed any additional help. Thank you Jane - we made precious memories during our stay

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to return! Harbour Cottage was lovely and clean and in a perfect location. It had everything we needed and more, the cream tea that was left for us when we arrived was a wonderful touch too. Plenty of beautiful beaches to explore nearby and some wonderful restaurants, we highly recommend!

Lovely, immaculate cottage. Great location to walk to beaches and restaurants. Holly was really responsive and recommended a great dog friendly pub for Sunday dinner. We had a great stay. Highly recommend.

Had a wonderful solo stay with my dog at Dawn’s place. The cottage was cozy, quiet, and perfect for unwinding. Great local walks right from the door, a friendly dog-welcoming pub nearby, and a real sense of peace. Felt safe and relaxed the whole time —would absolutely return. Thanks for having us Dawn!

Beautiful location, lovely furnishings and super remote. Our family had a lovely time there. Just what we all needed. Will come back again in the summer I think.

Really enjoyed staying here, the situation was beautiful and it was extremely quiet and peaceful. It was so dark at night with no light pollution making for incredible star-gazing! A less than 15 minute footpath walk to Seatown beach and The Anchor Inn, or less than 10 mins into Chideock with 2 more pubs. Abundance of footpaths right from the house. You can drive to Eype beach or Golden Cap in less than 10 minutes too. The house itself was very thoughtfully done and had everything we needed - nothing was missing - even some laundry detergent and pegs for emergency baby laundry! It was spotlessly clean and the beds were very comfortable.

We had a wonderful stay at Katy’s place. It was so very peaceful with beautiful surroundings. Having the enclosed courtyard was invaluable, as I was alone some days with the dogs and it meant I didn’t have to worry about where they were, as it was totally secure and private. The kitchen facilities were everything I needed for cooking, the property was spotless and relaxing and of high quality throughout. Walking from the door up the lane to the woods was fabulous with the dogs. And the homemade scones on arrival were amazing. Thank you Katy for a wonderful stay.

What a perfect spot to stay in Wells! It is absolutely adorable and so well thought out. An easy short walk to do many great shops, restaurants and of course the cathedral and Bishop’s Palace. We really love everything about Wells and this stay added another level of charm.

It was a pleasure to stay at the cottage. The setting is lovely: up a little lane, and surrounded by fields. And the location worked very well for our trip. Linda and Mike were very considerate hosts, and I would happily recommend them.

We had a wonderful weekend break in Jackie’s quirky 300-year-old cottage. The place is full of character, with beautiful original features and thoughtful touches throughout. It was cosy, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a relaxing stay. Jackie was a fantastic host friendly, responsive, and made us feel very welcome. A perfect escape with bags of charm. Highly recommend!

A very last minute booking, made all the better for the lovely stay at the Hideaway. Easy to get to with clear instructions. Spotlessly clean, and our son especially enjoyed staying in the upstairs “loft” with blackout blinds on his windows meaning no early starts ;-) Local to Lyme Regis and Charmouth perfect for the dinosaur fan/fossil hunter.

We had an amazing 3-night stay at this cottage! The hosts are super friendly and respond very quickly, which made everything extra easy. The cottage is even more beautiful in real life than in the photos—truly a gem. It’s wonderfully peaceful, right in the middle of nature, so you can really unwind. And it was spotless, which we really appreciated. In short, highly recommended if you’re looking to relax in a beautiful and quiet spot. We’ll definitely be coming back when we visit the area again!

Lovely chalet with everything we needed for our stay including comfortable beds and a lovely garden with seating area. Easy walk into town and beach.

Great place to stay for a weekend getaway

We booked a last minute mini break to Bluebell grey, enjoying visits to the beach during the day followed by relaxed evenings back at the cottage playing badminton and boules in the garden. As the evening light faded we settled down inside the cosy cottage with a gin and tonic or two playing cards around the table, feeling relaxed and comfortable. Thank you Michael for being so responsive with our last minute booking and for being so accommodating with an earlier check in time and equally relaxed with a later departure time. I will hold that lovely evening view across the fields in my memory. Thank you

Fantastic cottage in beautiful surroundings. Jill was a great host and the cottage was well equipped and comfortable. Our children loved the shared garden and the views from the rear of the property are stunning. Seatown is a 15 minute walk away with a beautiful beach and coastal walks. We also enjoyed delicious meals at The Anchor Inn in Seatown. A perfect base to explore the Dorset coast, we would love to stay at Jill’s cottage again.

We had such a wonderful stay at this absolutely gorgeous cottage! The garden was beautiful, and the whole place felt so cosy and welcoming—truly a home away from home. The beds were extra comfy, and everything we needed was right there. Rebecca was an amazing host—so lovely, helpful, and full of great recommendations on places to visit. She really went above and beyond to make sure we had a great time. Thank you so much, Rebecca, for sharing your lovely place with us. We’d come back in a heartbeat!
