Renowned for its burgeoning foodie scene, independent shopping and theatre as well as its pastel-coloured houses, characterful streets, iconic Cobb Harbour and sandy beach, you’ll probably want to be in the centre of things when you holiday in Lyme Regis, on the Jurassic Coast.

Say hello to Jurassic Properties, a collection of luxury – dog-friendly – self-catered apartments and a cottage, each superbly located for all the delights that Lyme Regis has to offer.

Every property has been beautifully renovated, is stylishly comfortable and brilliantly kitted out with smart TVs, wifi and other mod cons. No wonder they were voted Best Boutique Stay in the Dorset, Somerset & Bristol Muddy Awards 2024.

Ammonite has a terrace overlooking Lyme Bay and the Jurassic Coast beyond. The period Coombe Cottage is just a minute from the beach. Baker’s Loft lies amidst the indie shops, cafés and restaurants. The Bothy and The Hideway – the latter with a secluded garden and wooden hot tub– are both blissful boltholes. Coming soon: Marine Parade. Watch this space.

Despite being rather wonderful, Jurassic Properties are not ridiculously priced, costing from only £115/night.
