  • "The property itself is a lovely cottage."

    Unfortunately on arrival the property was extremely dirty. We had to immediately go to the local supermarket to purchase cleaning materials and spent the first two hours cleaning the property. I wish I had taken photographs. The toilets were in a dire state, we had to wash crockery/cutlery, clean out the fridge from spilt products, clean the kitchen and dust the house. It was a very disappointing start to our holidays. The cleaners on this occasion have really let your company down. The house itself is lovely, light and spacious. Would be good to put a note in the book about the games in the otterman style cabinet. We only found them on the morning we were leaving. Overall a lovely stay but as previously mentioned the cleanliness let it down.

    Sorry to hear about the cleanliness - which surprised us as it is usually so good. Glad that otherwise you enjoyed the house and your holiday,. Property Owner

  • "Very comfortable family house with lots of outdoor space for games, & a great terrace & sun room."

    Bedrooms were spacious & well furnished. Kitchen & breakfast room had plenty of room for the seven of us to prepare meals & sit around the table.

    Thank you for your comments, glad that you enjoyed the house. Property Owner

  • "High Cliff is a spacious house with a large garden so ideal for a family."

    The house was spotlessly clean and well equipped (although the fridge is a bit small if 8 people are staying ). It is a bit ‘tired’ and needs modernising but that would obviously bump the price up ! It is a shame to see lots of dead planters around the property - given the hot weather it is impossible to keep them healthy so better to have none - it makes the house and gardens look very unkempt . Having said that we enjoyed our stay very much the house suited our needs and the downstairs bedroom and bathroom was ideal for my elderly mother . As others have said it is a very steep walk down to Lyme but that kept us fit !

    Thank you for your feedback and glad that you enjoyed your stay. Unfortunately the super hot weather this summer was too much even for (most of) the succulents in the planters on the patio! Property Owner

  • "Beautiful house, lots of space and very clean."

    We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it. One thing to note is that it took us about 15 minutes to walk down to the beach but it’s very steep so walking back up the hill to the house was a challenge for some of our group, and a small section doesn’t have any footpath along the road

    So glad that you enjoyed the house and your stay. Sorry about the hill; I'm afraid that only after a few years do you get used to it! Property Owner

  • "There were 4 things l felt needed commenting on."

    It was disappointing that there were no facilities for recycling and everything had to be placed in the general waste. The dishwasher was old and did not clean the dishes very well at all. We ended up having to hand wash some of the items again just to get them clean. The lower patio door into the conservatory was extremely difficult to lock and unlock. It took a lot of pushing and wiggling to work. One final minor item was that the seat on the upstairs bathroom toilet was loose and not very stable.

    Thanks for your feedback. I'm afraid that recycling in Lyme is woefully inadequate. We have fixed the toilet seat (sorry) and made sure that the door is adjusted - it will be replaced shortly, as will the dishwasher Property Owner

  • "The house is lovely; it is large and spacious and in good modern condition."

    The twin beds that zip up into a super king are very hard but the double in with bunk beds is great. Otherwise everything is perfect. Lovely quiet location but close to the resort facilities.

    Thank you for your feedback and glad that you enjoyed the house. Property Owner

  • "A lovely place to have a family holiday."

    .. very comfortable and plenty of space both indoor's and out side .Plenty of parking spaces and a short walk into town We spent along time trying to find a place to recycle glass but it seems that Dorset has no recycling facilities which seems a real shame.

    Thank you for your feedback. Glad you liked the house and enjoyed your stay. There is an unfortunate lack of recycling facilities in Lyme which is a shame. Property Owner

Nestled into a quaint little cul-de-sac within the bustling seaside resort of Lyme Regis, this property offers easy access to local attractions.

With room for up to eight guests and a large garden, High Cliff Orchard is perfect for families or groups of adults.

Be welcomed by the handsome stone-clad exterior of this large property, where painted walls and wooden decorations give this property a period feel.

Enter into a fantastic sitting area where large blue sofas offer a space to recline, or there is the option of the wonderful adjoining sunroom with a backdrop of the stone walls of the house and plenty of furniture, where a view of the garden will accompany you as you read.

Make your way through an archway to find the kitchen, where white contemporary furnishings add a sense of opulence to the spacious room, where you will simply love cooking together as a group and enjoying your meal at the central dining table, where you will notice the added quirks of homely décor and fossil sculptures around the property.

On the ground-floor you will also find the first of the three bedrooms, a spacious super-king-size with blue walls, abundant furniture and a handy en-suite bathroom.

Climb the stairs to find the next two bedrooms, beginning with a twin room with a zip-link and plenty of storage and a lovely family bedroom with a bunk bed and double bed, along with a bathroom.

Outside the sunroom opens up onto a patio where you can enjoy a relaxing evening with a glass of your favourite beverage in hand and a view of the beach, and the garden also offers a large lawn, shrubs and a pond.

Lyme Regis is a fantastic holiday destination, just a short journey from the property itself, offering a host of activities including an aquarium, two museums, historical buildings such as The Town Mill and Langmoor and Lister Gardens, all a perfect day out.

As seen from the property, the coastline of Lyme Regis and the surrounding area is simply stunning, with fantastic access to so many beaches including Monmouth Beach and Lyme Regis Beach, where you will be able to search for fossils amongst the rocks.

The town centre offers loads of great shops selling local craft, produce and fossils and there is many eateries welcoming you to dine out.
