The second double bedroom and the twin room, both overlooking the garden, share the family bathroom where you can truly relax and indulge with the jacuzzi bath.
Outside, the gardens wrap around the house with steps leading up to a large lawned area surrounded by pretty shrubs and planting, whilst to the side there is a gravelled seating area with table and chairs. With sandy beaches and popular visitor attractions,
Lyme Regis has all the ingredients for a fun filled seaside holiday the whole family can enjoy. Take a walk along the seafront to the famous Cobb harbour where you can enjoy water sports activities, jump aboard a boat trip or learn about the area’s diverse marine life at the Lyme Regis Aquarium. An area renowned for fossil hunters, a visit to the Charmouth Heritage Centre offers a chance to see amazing fossil collections or join in one of the guided fossil walks on the beach. For avid walkers, the South West Coastal footpath offers breath-taking scenic walks and takes in landmarks such as Golden Cap, the highest point on the south coast, as well as Charmouth and Seatown, both popular seaside locations and great spots to stop off for a cold beverage on route. Other popular days out include The Donkey Sanctuary at Sidmouth which is open all year round or the picturesque fishing village of Beer, with its galleries, gift shops and eateries.
However you plan to spend your days, Fawley will be your home-from-home for a memorable holiday exploring this stunning part of Jurassic coastline.
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.

There was not enough loo roll to last the stay, the lack of black out blinds made sleeping difficult, the dishwasher was tiny for an 8 person house as was the freezer facility. Everything felt like it had been done to the minimum. I wasn't very impressed.

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely property in an excellent location. However our stay was spoilt by the shower over the bath being out of action. We reported the leak and the maintenance man planned to seal what was the wrong area, we pointed out that the problem was actually a badly fitted bath requiring more than just sealant patching. It was causing water leakage into both the downstairs bedroom & kitchen dining area. We did not want to cause anymore damage so agreed we would just use the en-suite shower but wanted to keep use of the bath for our 2 year old grandson. We did expect that we would be suitably compensated for this but weâre offered an extra night in a property they were obviously having problems letting given the number of free weeks available and the large reductions of £300+ they were making. I did expect that we would get a compensation offer at least equal to that but we only received a small offer which we decided to take as better than nothing. We were disappointed as we thought we were being helpful to the owners in trying to avoid greater problems in what is a great property for a holiday.
