Lovely house in excellent location

The house had everything we needed for our long weekend stay. It was comfortable and well equipped. The garden was a great space to sit out in with our dog. The location was excellent with lots of places to eat and drink nearby and a short stroll to the sea.

lovely, very central home

A really gorgeous, quirky house. Super central [almost next door to the dinosaur museum] and a short stroll to the sea. The house had lovely, comfy beds and everything you need for an easy, family stay. It is really close to a brilliant cafe for breakfast and picnic supplies [the Town mill] Will definitely come again :)

Loved the garden

Overall the house was comfortable and a good place to stay. The garden in particular was lovely, a real sun trap and room for children to play.It was very close to lots of restaurants and near the sea. The house has no parking and unloading was difficult as the road is very narrow. The stairs are narrow and not suitable for anyone with mobility problems.

Fantastic 4 large bedroom house. 5*

We were a party of 6 adults, 2 young children and 2 babies. We stayed for 3 nights and had a really good experience with Teal House. The 4 bedrooms were large and suited our needs. It has a really good kitchen, dining room, the lounge was just a little on the small side but having said that, we still all relaxed happily in the evenings. I would definitely recommend Teal House and would like to say that Mark Holmes the owner, made booking our holiday a very simple task. Really very happy with our stay 5 stars all the way! The location in Lyme Regis was excellent, just a short stroll to the beaches and restaurants. Great base to go exploring, not far from the fossil beaches, and am happy to say that we found our own fossils!

3 Go Down to Dorset: Recommended By Discerning Grp

A charming, comfortable and ideally located town house. Whilst access to unload at the door was adventurous, all went well and only added to the occasion of our stay. We found a few minor difficulties (missing light bulb, errant shower-head) but nothing requiring immediate attention and we would be very pleased to stay at Teal House again, should the occasion arise. Parking passes were purchased through the owner which was much appreciated. Hix restaurant was excellent as was the the bread, preserves and pastries from The Townmill Bakery! Shame the museum was on winter opening hours.

Thank you for your review and letting us know about the shower head and lights. Both have now been fixed.

Great location but a few minor flaws

A reasonably kitted out house with a garden that takes dogs and is a short pretty flat walk to the sea - that’s all great! But being quite low it has a bit of a damp ish smell, there was a snail trail in the kitchen and there was an issue with something on the carpet in one of the rooms. Having said that, the convenient location made up for the minor gripes and we’d go again. Children would need watching going up to the garden though (which had good outside furniture).

Adorable cottage next door to adorable museum!

Our family of 6 visited for our youngest child’s birthday (fossil hunting and ice cream, what else could a 9 yr old want!). The cottage was so perfect for us, walkable to everywhere and just next door to the best quirky private museum we’ve seen in ages (and we’re connoisseurs of quirky little museums). We also very much loved the Town Mill down the street! Thanks for being friendly and quick to reply, you made our holiday restful.

Ideal family holiday property

We enjoyed our weekend at Teal House The location is great for exploring Lyme. The arrangements with Mark were great and no issues. Just a couple of house keeping surprises, very dusty under furniture and a few unclean dishes and plates in the kitchen and also around the extractor area could do with a good clean Overall a nice property.

Good House but in need of deep cleaning

Very good location and set up in general but as per title in need of a good spring cleaning. The amount of dust under the bed but also the lounge is on the unhealthy side, rubbish ( literally under the bunk bed ) and the carpet should also be professionally cleaned. Overall good location, spacious but needs some TLC.

Thank you for your feedback about rubbish and carpets. We have asked the cleaners to be more attentive to these areas and getting the carpets cleaned. Hope to welcome you back again. Regards Mark

Wonderfully central and close to everything

4 of us and a little fluffy dog stayed in the middle of November. We were lucky to have the most wonderful weather which enabled us to make the most of eating outside at Mark Hix's restaurant one evening! We had everything we needed and especially liked the garden, enclosed and safe for Megan to go out. The rooms were very comfortable and the house was warm and cosy. The only drawback with this lovely property is not being able to park. We felt quite beleaguered when we unpacked our stuff, with impatient drivers coming both way. That said, parking was just up the road (a fairly steep hill but no distance). We would have also liked to have a standup shower over the 1st floor bath but that is really splitting hairs, All in all, we would certainly like to stay here again if we come back to Lyme Regis.

Great property, ideally placed

My wife and I (and two whippets) spent 4 days at Teal House in September and thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The house is roomy, the garden is very good and the house is a few minutes from the centre of Lyme. We were a bit surprised at paying separately for cleaning whilst that and the service charge added a lot to the total cost. Mark the owner is very helpful and his instructions are very comprehensive. Overall we'd stay again!

Another great holiday in Lyme!

We enjoyed our stay in Teal House - our second visit. The house is very well situated close to the beach, shops, and the bakers where you can buy delicious bread, croissants etc. There are also many cafés and restaurants nearby. We hardly used our cars at all as there is so much to do within walking distant. Our visits have become a family favourite. We hope to be back again next year.

Comfortable, clean accommodation centrally located.

We are a family of 4 and one dog We visited May 2018. We found the accommodation clean and comfortable. The large safe garden was a lovely surprise. The cottage is well equipped with everything you need for a family. Communication with Mark was very good keeping intouch with us before and during our stay. I would highly recommend Teal Cottage, we plan to book again in the future.

Fantastic home from home with everything you could ask for!

Lovely spacious property in the heart of Lyme Regis. It has everything you could possibly need as a home away from home. Wonderful local restaurants, brewery and various museums. You couldn't ask for more. Thank you Mark!

What a lovely cottage, well equipped and comfortable. Great access to all areas of Lyme Regis

We had a lovely family weekend here. The house worked well for 6 and was well equipped. The garden looked great although we only had a quick look as it was November and a little chilly. Would love to come back in the summer months to make the most of it.

Great location

Property exceptionally clean, well presented and equipped. Enough seating and space. The 2 double bedrooms are particularly lovely. The twin room was a tad cold as only a fan heater available. Enjoyed the location as can access everything from here. A great weekend in a great property. Would highly recommend Bonfire weekend as there's a Big Bonfire and fireworks on the beach, but book restaurants as all were fully booked ! Also be aware that most eateries stop at 9pm.
