  • "We found a couple of problems with the bed and bathroom and let the owner know ..."

    We found a couple of problems with the bed and bathroom and let the owner know and she tried her best to sort them the same day we were very grateful for this but the mattress on the double bed needs replacing and the lounge suite is past its best it’s not very comfortable and is a little tired We enjoyed our stay in Oaktree Cottage thank you

  • "Very comfortable warm house."

    Comfortable beds. The house was clean and ready for us. Kitchen facilities were fantastic with everything we needed. Out sude needed some attention with 2 barrel planters broken. Steps needing attention and patio needed sweeping. I would like to say the inside of this property is perfect with stunning view from upper outside balcony. Bathrooms were very clean. Possibly needing nonslip mats? I'm afraid the patio oitsude was dangerous with big drops which were not railed off. This made for a very anxious time with a toddler, who could not be out of our sight. The steps from upper patio and into garden area are without railings which again had awkward drops neither side, which we felt was very hazardous for under 5's or anyone with poor vision. The walk into Lyme Regis is lovely, following the river a little steep back.

    Thank you for your feedback. Lovely to hear you enjoyed the property. We will take your comments on board regarding the patio. Hope to welcome you back to Dorset soon. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

  • "Very peaceful location and access to good footpaths which was perfect for exercising the dog."

    Ample parking for two vehicles and the property itself is really homely, warm and comfortable and well equipped. A delightful owner too! Around 20 minute walk downhill by the River Lym into Lyme itself but parking in town for those preferring to drive. Lyme has everything- a glorious bay, spotless beach , shops and eateries - a perfect base from which to explore the stunning coastline or simply drop anchor and relax.

    Thank you so much for your feedback Mary. We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay . Wishing you and your guests all the very best . Property Owner

  • "This was our second stay at Oak Tree."

    The house is ideal for our 3 generational group, the weather was lovely and we all had a relaxing stay. It is nice thar the owners are available for any questions. The only negative we had was that both the bins outside were overflowing and obviously had not been put out by previous guests as requested. There was also dogs mess in the garden.

    Thank you so much for your review Tina , it’s lovely to know that you enjoyed your repeat visit. The vast majority of guests do empty the bins , some have even gone to the tip themselves when forgetting .I’m very sorry you had to suffer other guests’ dog mess . We continue to emphasise the bin requests with multiple messages. Property Owner

    .beds were very comfortable kitchen had lots of equipment only issues were the dustbins were already full from previous guests we only used the property as a base as the walk back from the beach was way too much for us overall lovely holiday

    Thank you so much for your feedback Angela, we are very pleased that you found Oaktree well maintained, comfortable and perfect for you . We have numerous signs and various notes regarding the bins, so I’m very sorry that previous guests did not empty them . All the very best to you . Property Owner

    It's about a 15 minute walk to the seaside and the lovely town of Lyme which has lots of eating and drinking places. Leave your car at the cottage and try out some great walks around the local area.

    ...beds lovely..and lovely views from the balcony....some comfy outdoor seating would be lovely under the veranda....the 8 min walk was nigh on impossible...my son of 30 who has just done the London Marathon couldnt do it and coming back up steep paths should be mentioned.....not for anyone with mobility issues...yes you could use a car but that brings the problem of limited parking....we enjoyed out stay and were lucky with the weather

    Thank you for your feedback Joy. We are pleased that you found Oaktree clean and comfortable. We have timed the 8 minute walk ourselves and we are certainly not marathon runners ! Lyme Regis is a hilly location which most visitors accept in return for its beauty and the beach . Property Owner

    The view from upstairs balcony is far reaching and one could see the sea. We parked our car at the bunglaw and walked to the beach- the walk along the brook is very relaxing- coming back is a bit of a hike but only for a bit. Definitely recommend the place

    My son and grandchildren in the two rooms downstairs and we had a beautiful room, with amazing views, upstairs. The garden was great for Minnie, the dog. Very quiet and a pleasant walk into Lyme along the river. Marina and Stuart, the owners, called when we arrived to see if there was anything we needed and were really lovely and helpful. Hope to be back soon.

  • "A lovely homely house, that is welcoming, clean and comfortable."

    The owners are local and make a real effort to ensure everything is as expected. We felt some of the previous negative comments were not justified on our stay. Being able to park at the house and walk into the centre of Lyme Regis in under 10 minutes, along the lit and paved river walk was a real bonus. We really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend this property to our friends and family.

  • "The property is spacious and cosy."

    The fire in the lounge was a welcome after a long day walking. Oak tree had everything you need for a great stay. The main bedroom upstairs was really big with comfy bed and a fantastic view! We loved the location. The river Lym walk into town is gorgeous. We took our 5 yo cocker spaniel Molly who also loved the home, the walks and the beautiful town of Lyme Regis. We loved our stay so much we are looking forward to returning next year.

  • "Oak cottage is in a great position but having read previous comments and the ratings we were very disappointed with our stay for the price paid."

    Totally agree with other people that it lacked comfortable seats inside and out. The bathroom had a toilet seat that didn’t fit the toilet which isn’t ideal and shower head was floppy and wouldn’t tighten properly so we had to wedge something behind it. There was no welcome pack which we’ve always had when staying with you previously so not sure if it was overlooked??

    Thank you for your feedback , we are glad you found the property in a great position. The vast majority of our guests find the furniture very comfortable and book return stays. We don’t market this property with a welcome pack so you were not charged for one . We will look at the shower head and repair as necessary this week . All the very best to you . Property Owner

    Really comfy beds, good showers, amazing view from upstairs bedroom. About a 15 min walk into Lyme Regis along the river. Large rooms and lovely garden. I would have given it top marks in all categories however there was a large amount of dust on the bookcase in the upstairs bedroom and no chest of drawers and when I moved the footstool in the lounge I found a children's toy! Also no tumble dryer which I did know as it was not listed in description, but really could have done with one with the English weather. Yummy biscuits and lovely card left for us. We hope to return next year.

On entering the property, the inviting sitting room has extensive seating and a feature fireplace making it a lovely spot for gathering together and catching up on holiday tales.

If it’s a sunny day then step outside onto the gorgeous patio area or if it looks like rain then you can still be outside but take cover under the delightful veranda; both spaces offer the opportunity to enjoy holiday time alfresco with friends, pets and loved ones.

The kitchen is ideal for cooking up some fabulous food for the whole family and there is even a separate dining room with an opening onto the patio area.

The bedrooms are all well-appointed with the king-size a particular feature boasting a superb balcony overlooking the gardens and Lyme Regis beyond.

This is a simply splendid room to lay your weary heads at night and to wake up to in the morning with the additional double and twin also really welcoming.

Even though Oak Tree enjoys a pleasantly secluded location it is still only a short walk into Lyme Regis where visitors are greeted by a gorgeous beach, harbour and causeway as well as a great selection of shops, galleries, cafes, pubs and restaurants.

It even has its own museum and aquarium.

If you want to go a little further afield and take in some captivating views along the way then pay a visit to Charmouth with its Heritage Coast Centre, Seaton famous for its tramway and Beer known for its quarry caves.

Take an adrenaline-fuelled rib ride from Lyme Regis, book a fishing trip or go golfing at Bridport and West Dorset Golf Club, or simply pack a picnic and head to the beach at Charmouth, West Bay, Chesil, Lulworth Cove and Weymouth, all enchanting locations for keen fossil hunters.
