Appletrees Cottage Georgian terraced family cottage just
3 minutes walk to the sea

Lyme Regis is the perfect place for a family holiday and Appletrees has been equipped particularly with families in mind. When our own children were small the short level walk to the beach was a huge advantage. Within a few minutes they were scampering across Cobb Gate, down the steps onto the shingle, racing in and out of the lapping waters, and up again onto the long, lovely sea-front walk to the "Real Beach" - the glorious bay of golden sand which curves round and joins the celebrated "Cobb" and its tiny harbour. From the end of the Cobb - where you can literally see and smell the ancient history of this most romantic of Dorset's fishing towns - you can look back and see the panorama of colour washed buildings against their exquisite backdrop of wooded hills. Or, you can look out to sea and feel the power of the waves as they lash the outer wall of the Cobb. No wonder this was a place to inspire such writers as Jane Austen, Thomas Hardy and John Fowles.
