Family Holiday Cottages in Lyme Regis

Lyme Regis sits on the Dorset stretch of the Jurassic Coast, with its curving sandy and shingle beach, the Cobb harbour wall and famous fossil-rich cliffs. Staying in a family holiday cottage in Lyme Regis puts you close to the seafront for swimming and sand play, as well as to the town museum and guided fossil walks that help bring the geology to life for children. The mix of beaches, promenades and ice cream stops makes it easy to spend whole days by the sea without needing the car.

Families often start with time on the main town beach or Cobb Gate, then head along the shore towards Monmouth Beach or over to Charmouth for fossil hunting when the tide is right. You can fit in a museum visit, a boat trip from the harbour or a simple circuit along the Cobb when younger ones need a change of scene. Having a self-catering base in Lyme Regis means you can manage sandy clothes, nap breaks and hungry children on your own schedule, and still pop back out for a sunset walk or a last go on the amusements.
