  • "It’s a lovely cottage and very well appointed."

    Everything you would want was in the kitchen and of a very high quality. The estate was a lovely place to stay and nice to walk around. We really enjoyed our stay. The downsides for us were the low beams which we were not aware of before arrival. There was no starter pack for the wood burner. We bought logs and kindling wood and left them behind. The front door had to be locked as the mechanism didn’t keep the door closed and it rattled in the wind. We would like to have been able to adjust the heating. It was cold in the main living area but very hot in the bedrooms. We did mention that the roof had a leak in very heavy rain.

    Hi, thanks for your review. We hadn’t considered the beam downstairs to be low enough to be an issue as we are quite tall ourselves but will ask Lyme Bay to add to the property details. Similarly all radiators have individual thermostats which we had assumed people would adjust as needed, but we will add this to the instructions in the property. The thermostat is also on the kitchen worktop to adjust the temperature as required. Lyme Bay have checked for a leak but put it down to the direction of the wind and rain at the time, we will keep an eye on this, similarly with the door which we will check ourselves when we visit this week. There should be an initial supply of logs and kindling provided so we will follow this up. Property Owner

  • "Lovely house which provided us with everything that we would need."

    Would have appreciated instructions for heating as it was quite cold in the evenings but other than that, it was a fantastic stay. Thank you for providing recommendations for places to eat and things to do- as first time visitors this was very helpful!

    Thanks for the feedback Emma. We had given the instructions to Lyme Bay but they had not been put in the folder apparently. The heating is now turned on and we will ensure the instructions are in the folder when we are next there ourselves in a couple of weeks time. Property Owner

  • "Lovely property."

    Would be nice to have a proper shower up stairs not just a hand held one over the bath. Someone had parked a small silver car in the turning area, although a sign said no parking! Never moved all week , think it belonged to a resident of one of the other properties. Just made it difficult to manoeuvre onto the small drive way of the Engine House.

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed staying at 2 Engine House everything included even Dog bed, bowls and throws."

    Everything spotless and cleaning products supplied. Torches provided. Plenty of space to walk the dog and bins provided around the estate. Only needed better directions to find cottage. Also height restriction in bathroom upstairs.

  • "This place is fabulous."

    Kitted out with absolutely everything you could possibly ever want or need. The estate is wonderful and the resident locals are so friendly. Can highly recommend a walk to Koffee at the entrance to the estate.

The property

Lyme Regis 3.5 miles.

2 Engine House is a magnificent, three-bedroom holiday home, situated on the historic Rousdon Estate, perfect for families and friends looking to enjoy this stunning stretch of the Jurassic Coastline on the Devon/Dorset border.

Comprising 350 coastal acres of parkland and nature reserve, the Rousdon Estate is located between the seaside towns of Seaton and Lyme Regis making this a perfect destination for a memorable coastal holiday.

An impressive home, 2 Engine House has been designed with great attention to detail with delightful characterful features and sympathetic nods to the property’s history.

A luxurious and beautifully styled home with some lovely personal touches throughout.

The open-plan living space is a double height room with exposed brickwork, high vaulted ceilings and beams.

A woodburning stove gives the room a inviting feel, making this a perfect choice for any time of the year.

The kitchen is finished to the same high standard offering a fantastic place to conjure up memorable meal times which can be enjoyed together in the dining area.

A welcome pack for your arrival ensures a great start to your holiday and will include milk, tea and a selection of locally sourced produce and treats.

The first of the three bedrooms, a stylish family room, is located on the ground floor and offers a double and single bed together with an en-suite shower room.

Upstairs there are two further bedrooms, a spacious double bedroom and a single room which share the family bathroom with a welcoming freestanding bath, perfect after a day of walking.

When it comes to days out, the nearby coastal resort of Lyme Regis is steeped in history, whether you wish to follow in the footsteps of the renowned fossil hunter Mary Anning or stroll around the Cobb Harbour, the backdrop of many TV and film adaptations.

You will also find a great selection of restaurants and pubs as well as a good selection of independent shops and galleries.

Why not head to the popular fishing village of Beer with its limestone cliffs and pretty beach where it is easy to lose a few hours sat in a deckchair watching the local fishermen hauling their catches ashore.

The South West coastal footpath is popular for walkers and takes in pretty fishing villages such as Seatown and Eype and rewards with breath-taking scenic views of the coast towards Chesil Beach and Portland on a clear day.

2 Engine House is a truly delightful holiday cottage, made for memorable holidays on this stunning stretch of the Jurassic Coastline.
