Guests say
The Chatham in Lyme Regis is praised for its superb location, spacious and well-equipped accommodation, and on-site parking. Guests appreciate the property's charm, comfortable beds, and responsive hosts. While the presence of stairs and the condition of some furniture are noted, these do not detract significantly from the overall positive experience.
Most guests found the property to be very clean, with spotless kitchens and bathrooms. However, a few remarks about average cleanliness and a smell on the landing suggest minor inconsistencies.
The location is consistently described as ideal, with easy access to shops, eateries, and the beach, alongside the convenience of private parking.
Guests enjoyed comfortable beds and ensuites, but some found the living room furniture and terrace tables to be past their best, affecting overall comfort.
The property is well-equipped, particularly the kitchen, but there are comments about steep and uneven stairs, insufficient banisters, and the need for better balcony furniture.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

In the heart of the popular seaside resort of Lyme Regis, and only 250 yards from the seafront, this character Grade II listed Great House has been restored retaining many original features, and has been furnished and decorated to a very good standard. The Chatham is on three floors, so there are stairs to access the main living areas on the first floor, then stairs leading to a lower level. There are the most stunning views from the living, dining room (which seats eight guests) and terraced area, which is the perfect spot for wining and dining. Views stretch all the way down Chesil Beach and the Heritage Coast to Portland. Visitors can park, which is prime in Lyme Regis, in the outside gated courtyard.
From the doorstep, guests can be in the thriving heart of this picturesque town, with a short walk to the sandy beach and harbour, or spend pleasant evenings strolling along the famous Cobb taking in one of the many restaurants and pubs. The children will love the opportunity to do some fossil hunting, crabbing, boating, swimming or fishing, or for all the family wandering around the local shops in this quaint town. The whole of the famous World Heritage Coast beckons, from Exmouth to the west and Weymouth and Portland to the east, then visit West Bay, scene of the TV series ’Broadchurch’, the Craft Centre at Broadwindsor, many family attractions at Weymouth or perhaps some great scenic coastal walking, maybe to the top of Golden Cap with its panoramic views and a call into the local pub. Shops, pubs and restaurants within 50 yards.

Had a wonderful holiday. Location superb and on-site parking really convenient. Owners/caretaker were so friendly and helpful and responded quickly. Bedrooms were great size, as were beds and having ensuites great. Very clean and so well equipped. Please be mindful this is an old property, we all had issues with old sash windows/furniture. You need to be aware of amount of stairs. It is not clear on property details. We knew apartment was upstairs but it was almost 3 flights, with stairs varying in heights. Having walked uphill from town, they really were a challenge. Once in apartment there are many more uneven stairs into bedrooms, bathrooms and kitchen. The rope banister did not feel sufficient and further handles on walls would have been useful. The living room furniture/suites are completely past their best in terms of comfort or any support. We had to use many pillows. No one can do anything about seagulls but if you don't like their noise, you need to be further inland!
