Discover Lyme Regis

One of Lym House’s greatest strengths is its coastal location. Less than a five-minute walk from Lyme Regis’s beach, historic harbour and vibrant town centre, it’s easy to leave the car behind and enjoy everything this much-loved seaside town has to offer. Wander through independent boutiques, browse local galleries, stop for coffee overlooking the sea or sample freshly landed seafood in one of the town’s excellent restaurants, all within easy reach of your front door.

As part of the Jurassic Coast UNESCO World Heritage Site, Lyme Regis is renowned for its rich history and spectacular natural beauty. Spend your days searching for fossils along the shoreline, strolling the iconic Cobb, paddling in the sea or following the South West Coast Path as it winds its way along dramatic cliffs and sweeping coastal views. Back in the town, colourful streets, independent shops and a thriving food scene make it just as enjoyable to explore away from the beach.

Lym House is also perfectly placed for discovering more of this beautiful stretch of the Dorset and East Devon coastline. Visit nearby Charmouth for world-famous fossil hunting, spend an afternoon in the market town of Bridport or at the harbour in West Bay, or cross into East Devon to discover the picturesque fishing village of Beer and the charming seaside town of Seaton. With miles of coastal paths and plenty of dog-friendly places to stop along the way, it’s an excellent destination for guests bringing their four-legged companion.
