Guests say

High Cliff Orchard is a spacious and comfortable cottage in Lyme Regis, Dorset, with a large garden and ample parking. It offers a quiet location close to resort facilities, though the steep walk to the beach may be challenging for some. The property is generally well-equipped and suitable for families, including those with elderly members.

Reviews are mixed regarding cleanliness. One guest found the property dirty upon arrival, while others reported it as spotless. This suggests inconsistency in cleaning standards.

The property is in a quiet location close to local amenities, with a steep walk to the beach. The challenging walk back up is noted, but the proximity to Lyme Regis is appreciated.

Guests find the house comfortable with spacious bedrooms and living areas. However, some guests mentioned that the beds could be hard, indicating room for improvement in comfort.

The property is well-equipped but has some maintenance issues such as a difficult-to-operate patio door and a loose toilet seat. The dishwasher's performance was also criticised.

There is no mention of gifts or additional thoughtful touches provided by the hosts in the reviews, so it is not possible to assess this category.

About this property

Nestled into a quaint little cul-de-sac within the bustling seaside resort of Lyme Regis, this property offers easy access to local attractions. With room for up to eight guests and a large garden, High Cliff Orchard is perfect for families or groups of adults. Be welcomed by the handsome stone-clad exterior of this large property, where painted walls and wooden decorations give this property a period feel. Enter into a fantastic sitting area where large blue sofas offer a space to recline, or there is the option of the wonderful adjoining sunroom with a backdrop of the stone walls of the house and plenty of furniture, where a view of the garden will accompany you as you read.

Make your way through an archway to find the kitchen, where white contemporary furnishings add a sense of opulence to the spacious room, where you will simply love cooking together as a group and enjoying your meal at the central dining table, where you will notice the added quirks of homely décor and fossil sculptures around the property. On the ground-floor you will also find the first of the three bedrooms, a spacious super-king-size with blue walls, abundant furniture and a handy en-suite bathroom. Climb the stairs to find the next two bedrooms, beginning with a twin room with a zip-link and plenty of storage and a lovely family bedroom with a bunk bed and double bed, along with a bathroom.

Outside the sunroom opens up onto a patio where you can enjoy a relaxing evening with a glass of your favourite beverage in hand and a view of the beach, and the garden also offers a large lawn, shrubs and a pond. Lyme Regis is a fantastic holiday destination, just a short journey from the property itself, offering a host of activities including an aquarium, two museums, historical buildings such as The Town Mill and Langmoor and Lister Gardens, all a perfect day out. As seen from the property, the coastline of Lyme Regis and the surrounding area is simply stunning, with fantastic access to so many beaches including Monmouth Beach and Lyme Regis Beach, where you will be able to search for fossils amongst the rocks.

The town centre offers loads of great shops selling local craft, produce and fossils and there is many eateries welcoming you to dine out. Make a holiday to remember with a stay at High Cliff Orchard.

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!

    Unfortunately on arrival the property was extremely dirty. We had to immediately go to the local supermarket to purchase cleaning materials and spent the first two hours cleaning the property. I wish I had taken photographs. The toilets were in a dire state, we had to wash crockery/cutlery, clean out the fridge from spilt products, clean the kitchen and dust the house. It was a very disappointing start to our holidays. The cleaners on this occasion have really let your company down. The house itself is lovely, light and spacious. Would be good to put a note in the book about the games in the otterman style cabinet. We only found them on the morning we were leaving. Overall a lovely stay but as previously mentioned the cleanliness let it down.

    The house was spotlessly clean and well equipped (although the fridge is a bit small if 8 people are staying ). It is a bit ‘tired’ and needs modernising but that would obviously bump the price up ! It is a shame to see lots of dead planters around the property - given the hot weather it is impossible to keep them healthy so better to have none - it makes the house and gardens look very unkempt . Having said that we enjoyed our stay very much the house suited our needs and the downstairs bedroom and bathroom was ideal for my elderly mother . As others have said it is a very steep walk down to Lyme but that kept us fit !

    Bedrooms were spacious & well furnished. Kitchen & breakfast room had plenty of room for the seven of us to prepare meals & sit around the table.
