DORSET HOUSE LUXURY SELF CATERING

For the majority of the year Dorset House operates as an award winning B&B but for a few weeks of the year, we make the whole house available as a luxury self catering holiday rental. The house has five bedrooms, all of which are ensuite, and comfortably sleeps 10 plus a sofa bed available for extra children.

Dorset House sits a short walk up the hill from the hub of Lyme Regis and therefore benefits from glorious sea views. Plentiful stylish communal spaces are available for eating and relaxing such as the veranda which is a lovely space for evening drinks while the patio allows for barbequeing those Mackerel you’ve caught in the bay. Our kitchen is very well equipped with an induction range oven and all you need to rustle up a feast for your party.

Perfect for family get togethers or special birthdays, Dorset House is the perfect space to cosy up to celebrate in front of the log burner in winter or overlooking the sea in the warmer months. The spacious and light filled dining room is the perfect setting for special meals and catering can be arranged.

We believe that luxurious bedding is key to a relaxing break away so hand made Naturalmat beds are dressed with crisp sheets and goose down or wool duvets and pillows. Original shutters, blackout curtains and that all important sea air ensure a great nights sleep.

All rooms have free WiFi, TVs and iPod docks – although most guests enjoy leaving technology aside to take in the views.

Lyme Regis

Dorset House is situated a couple of hundred metres from the main town high street. The beaches of Lyme Regis are a short walk away for fossil hunting, sunbathing and water sports, as are the famed Dorset foodie delights. Mark Hix’s Oyster and Fish House is a couple of minutes walk away and River Cottage HQ is only a 10 minute drive. We are also within striking distance of the South West Coast Path.
