About this property
Originally two properties, this stunning traditional cottage has been carefully renovated to create the perfect Dorset holiday home. With three bedrooms, a spacious living area and fantastic distance to all of the town’s major attractions, 4/5 Georges Square is the perfect family holiday home.
After utilising the off-road parking and admiring the quaint exterior of this property, enter into a marvellous sitting room with all of the traditional cottage vibes needed to add a taste of heritage to this property, with traditional roofbeams, furniture in light green, blues and browns to complement the quaint feel to this property and a log burner set into the original fireplace, where you can warm your feet as you enjoy a book after a long day spent at the seaside. A wonderful kitchen/diner, featuring the central staircase, fresh décor and tiled floors encourages any budding chef to make the most of the amenities on offer, creating a masterpiece from local produce and presenting it on the central dining table. As the afternoon wares on, enjoy a refreshing soak amongst the bubbles or a warming shower in the bathroom, before taking to one of the three bedrooms available to settle down for the night, beginning with a double with wooden furniture and homely décor, a second double with a dressing table, and a spacious twin room with a wardrobe. Outside you will find a courtyard with seating (stored in the shed), which is shared with the nearby properties.
The town of Lyme Regis is a fantastic holiday destination with activities to keep you occupied all year round. With a superb selection of beaches, including Monmouth Beach and Lyme Regis Fossil Beach, you will be able to enjoy a stroll along the coastline, stopping for a picnic with the family, or even take to the waves in your favourite watersports. The town centre itself is a great place to grab a hot meal or end the day with a glass of your favourite beverage in hand, offering a variety of cafés, restaurant and pubs as well as local shops selling crafts, produce and artwork. The town centre also boasts two museums, an aquarium and gardens, all perfect for family days out. You will simply love the Jurassic coast with a stay at the wonderful 4/5 Georges Square.
The delightful seaside town of Lyme Regis has much to offer its visitors, boasting a maze of narrow streets filled with craft and antique shops, galleries and cafes. Take a stroll along the world-famous Cobb causeway overlooking the ancient harbour, where fishing trips can be enjoyed, or try your hand at fossil hunting in the area. The scenic coastal path offers excellent walking opportunities and spectacular views of the stunning Jurassic coast, whilst the gently shelving sands and sparkling waters of Lyme Bay provide the perfect place in which to relax and unwind. A holiday destination to savour!

Great location, so close to town and beaches but really tucked away and quiet. Very comfy and cosy place, but still spacious enough, with lots of thoughtful touches including folders full of local info. Not the most up to date decor of anywhere we've stayed, and a couple of the mattresses are in need of replacing but overall we'd definitely stay again as it's one of the nicer dog-friendly places we've stayed at, thank you!

The only slight downside was that the shared courtyard was not really available to us so we couldnât sit outside. The 2 properties facing directly onto the courtyard always had the tables and chairs outside their front doors and also washing! We didnât feel that we could use it. Otherwise everything was fine.

It's really well equipped for a family stay and spacious, comfortable and cosy. Location wise it was ideal for us with everything we needed for a 3 night stay in short walking distance. The parking is a little tricky but we managed to fit our family sized car in the garage and leave the door open. If you want the central location then to have a garage available is a bonus - many similar properties didn't have parking available. The front door needs some attention as is very difficult to open!
