Dog friendly holiday cottage, sleeps 2 - Lyme Regis (2mls NW), Dorset

Embrace rural life in the heart of the Dorset Coast Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, staying on the outskirts of Lyme Regis with Devon close by for exploration. Sleeping two guests in this simple but characterful cottage, the property makes the ideal base for any walkers’ getaway. You’re welcome to bring two dogs along with you, perfect for embracing cliffside walks along the South West Coast Path with your canine companions at your heels.

Enjoy lazy nights spent in front of the TV or unwinding on the terrace when the weather allows. On arrival you’ll first spot the owner’s koi pond, a pretty addition that welcomes you to this unique accommodation. Step inside to find an open-plan lounge/diner which is spacious, bright and cheerful.

Sink into the armchair or comfy sofa and catch up on your favourite shows late at night. The kitchen can be found next door, a contemporary space with galley-style fittings and all of the required cooking amenities. And finally, the inviting king size bedroom can be found right here on the ground floor, accompanied by a modern shower room with WC.

Follow a stunning route along the River Lim to get to Lyme Regis (2 miles), a much-loved tourist spot with seaside attractions and plenty of sandy beaches to spend the afternoon. Venture down to the shingle shores of The Cobb to embrace water sports, swimming or surfing when the conditions are right. From here you can explore the Jurassic Coast, a heritage attraction where you could go fossil hunting on the beaches.

Be sure to visit Weymouth (28 miles) throughout your stay, soaking up the far-reaching sea views on your travels via car or public transport and grab a bite to eat in this popular seaside town.
