A characterful townhouse tucked behind a garden gate in Lyme Regis, this home is built for group stays done properly. Long dinners around the table, evenings by the fireplace, and a boot room ready for wet gear after a day on the coast – the practical details matter here. The enclosed garden gives everyone room to decompress, while The Cobb Harbour, Lyme Regis's ancient stone breakwater, is a ten-minute walk away. The Jurassic Coast's fossil-rich shoreline is on the doorstep too, making it an easy base for a stay that mixes adventure with comfort.
