In stunning Lyme Regis we have a selection of self-catering cottages with sea views, primed to make the most of this wonderful part of the West Dorset coast. The town itself is a picturesque sight – elegant Georgian buildings, bedecked with summer bunting, lead down to the harbour. A busy and thriving high street features tea rooms, craft shops, ice cream parlours and art studios.

A beach holiday here doesn’t have to be just about bucket and spades, however. If you have an interest in natural history, a holiday cottage in Lyme Regis gives you the opportunity to walk in the footsteps of one of the most famous fossil hunters, Mary Anning. The Dorset coast was granted UNESCO World Heritage status in 2001, thanks to coastline boasting rocks spanning 185 million years of Earth’s history.

Take a look at our selection of Lyme Regis cottages, and just maybe you’ll find your own piece of history.
