The Old Watch House

A delightful venue full of charm and history. From the apartment you can to enjoy watching activity across the harbour. There is direct access to the harbour and seafront with many places to eat and socialise. There is even a fresh fish shop next door. Convenient parking is nearby. It feels very homely and warm with comfortable furniture and fittings. The bedroom is luxurious with plenty of space for storage. The kitchen is very well equipped. The owner communicates well and is very helpful. Always a pleasure to return as it has felt like a second home over 18 years of visits.

Lovely, sizeable apartment in a superb position. We have visited Lyme many times but never before found a place to stay as good as this. The weather helped and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

What a beautiful apartment! Felt at home as soon as we arrived. Even on rainy days the view made us happy! Really comfy bed and bedding, will be buying the same for home! WiFi didn’t really work unless you were sat right next to WiFi hub and tv signal was hit and Miss but we were aware of that. Nothing that ruined our stay, and we’ve booked for same time next year! THANKYOU xx

We stayed for a week in The Old Watch House and it was a true delight. Everything inside is so carefully chosen and of the highest quality and standards. The Wet fish and Calico were much too tempting and we succumbed! We could not fault anything and will definitely be returning.

When we occasionally visit Lyme we often buy an ample supply of the so fresh fish, from the shop below The Old Watch House, so it was an extra treat to be able to stay here and self-cater. The accommodation was very comfortable, and the kitchen was well-equipped, making for an excellent week away post lockdown. The owner Sarah was very helpful with any queries we had, and the availability of a parking space, just up the road from the flat, was another real bonus bearing in mind how full Lyme car parks become during busy times. Definitely recommended.

We had a wonderful week at the end of August staying at the Watch House, what a find. Spotlessly clean, perfect location, everything you need in the property for your stay and most of all the most amazingly comfy bed and pillows! my husband and I slept so well it was so cosy we had a job to get up!!! if you are reading this review and thinking of booking a break in Lyme Regis this is the place to stay... walking distance to beach, bars, restaurants, the high street, amazing walks, the brewery etc.... you don't really need to use your car!!! free parking space too. Thanks Sarah

Better than described! We thoroughly enjoyed our week at The Old Watch House - wonderful position right opposite The Cobb in Lyme Regis - take binoculars as there is always something going on to be seen from the window!. The flat was clean, welcoming, spacious, and comfortable. Everything provided that we would need for our week away post lockdown - we re-lived many happy childhood memories of holidaying in Lyme. Local pubs organised outside areas for eating which were a short walk away. Fantastic ‘Wet Fish Shop’ right by! Couldn’t be better! Thank you. We are back in October!

We stayed at The Old Watch House for a week to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The location is fantastic. We spent hours just looking out of the window, wandering down to the beach, to the shops and local amenities. The flat is stylish, comfortable and well equipped. Having an allocated parking space a few minutes away is also a bonus. We loved Lyme Regis (even in October and during Covid restrictions!) We hope to return soon!

My sister and I used to come on holiday to Lyme as children and it has lost none of its charms. The Old Watch House was the perfect place to wallow in Lyme's delights. What a comfortable, well equipped and light apartment , with very friendly owners, and stunning views across the Cobb. Rain or shine there is a big picture window from which you can sit and watch the boats go by. A very special place that comes highly recommended.

Well furnished, spacious first floor flat with a wonderful view over the Cob. Flat walks along the beach and paths into the town, steep climbs behind. Short steep walk to car parking space. A really lovely place for an out of season break with plenty of activity to watch.

We have just come back from a week's break and it was a lovely property which made you feel at home.

What a comfortable and relaxing apartment. So convenient for all shops. Would highly recommend this property.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay in this beautiful and spacious apartment and we will definitely return. The Cobb is only a minute walk away. There is a view over the Cobb from the flat which is wonderful (both in the glorious sun and during the stormy weather!) and there are pubs, restaurants, take away food places and small convenience stores all within a 2 minute walk. My husband particularly appreciated being above a high-quality fishmonger! The main street with Tesco, fossil shops etc. is a lovely 10 minute stroll along the marine parade. I thoroughly recommend the apartment and Lyme!

If you like Lyme Regis and West Dorset, this is the perfect place for two. Quite simply.
