Excellent family holiday by the seaside

The property suited our family requirements perfectly-clean, modern and functional space in a rural and quiet location yet close to the attractions of Lyme Regis.A high specification home well equipped and with all facilities, would certainly recommend.

All-round fab!

The Cedar House was a splendid place for our family gathering. Lovely bedrooms and a large open-plan downstairs were all ideal, and each excellently equipped. The stunning views out over the countryside gave an added dimension to our stay, as did the beach hut. In short - highly recommended.

Uplyme Cedar House

This was an ideal property to stay in for our grown up family. Very modern with plenty of space. The views from the rear of the property are amazing and it was a pleasure to wake up everyday to the picture perfect view of the valley below. Every thing that you would need has been thought of and there are some really nice quality touches around the property.

Amazing house with lovely views

We had the most lovely stay at Cedar House. The house in itself was above expectation, not only was it spacious, open plan and built to high spec, it was also the little details (welcome hamper, kitchen and toilet essentials, a detailed user manual, cook books etc) that made our stay special. The views from the house were stunning. The location is good, close to Lyme Regis and Axminster and other places worthwhile visiting in Devon and Dorset. In addition to all of this, the owner went out of her way to locate and personal post to us a piece of jewellery we had mistakenly placed in the bin before we left. Thank you so much!

Belated 50th

From the moment we arrived to the time we left it was perfect. Amazing property. Really luxurious. Views stunning. Had a really good selection of equipment for cooking and eating. Only one very small prob. It felt really warm at night for everyone. Probably just us but it would of been more comfortable at around 18 c. Having said that everything else was amazing. You could easily walk into Lyme Regis, the walk back might be harder for some. It was quiet and really peaceful. I could of looked at that view all day. I’d definitely return. It has wonderful little touches everywhere. Lovely 🥰

Wonderful Holiday

The Cedar House is the best equipped holiday home i've ever stayed in. Our host Sarah has a great eye for the small details that make all the difference; blankets, super soft bed linen, candles, BBQ, beautifully equipped beach hut etc. Sarah always relied promptly when needed and it was obvious that it's her passion to make people feel at home, relaxed and to gift them a memorable vacation. Thank you Sarah!

Great cottage with countryside views

There was just the two of us staying here and we loved every minute of it. Great views from every room and modern furnishings throughout. Everything from the kitchen to the laundry room has been thought through with attention paid to providing you with everything you need for the stay. Loved the seating outdoors and the access to the beach hut, which we used regularly. Highly recommend staying here and we can't wait to go back in the near future with our families.

Modern, Spacious and very comfortable

Fabulous design, high quality fixtures, fittings and appliances. Comfortable beds with good linen and towels. Extremely well equipped with everything we could possibly want, including glorious views! We are seven ‘mature’ and rather fussy friends, who have spent the new year holiday in various locations, in the UK and abroad, for the last sixteen years - The Cedar House, Uplyme ranks among the best.

An excellent property with a homely atmosphere.

My grandchildren, 7 and 6, were so taken by the wonderful rooms that they 'bagged' the main bedroom themselves! Superbly equipped and beautifully finished, craftsmanship at it's best. The beach hut was also well equipped and located central to the beaches. I would strongly recommend this property, my whole family enjoyed it. Whether cooking or lounging it has everything you need.

Lovely stay in Dorset

Best house we've ever stayed in (& most expensive). The house was perfect in so many ways, the kids (14,14 & 9) loved it , though it might be tricky with younger children, and it helped make our first visit to Dorset special. We walked and cycled (challenging) around the area and especially enjoyed walking to the beach hut.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Cartwright

Host profile image
My name is Sarah. My family have used the house on and off for holidays over the last 10 years, and we have made the house very well-appointed because that's how we would want it. My husband is from the area originally and he has included some insider tips in our guide in the house.

Why they chose this property

The hillside location gives beautiful views across the village and the rolling hills of the Lym Valley. The Cedar House also has easy access to the beaches and activities within bustling Lyme Regis. The wider area is stunning and is completely unspoilt, with lovely walks, vineyards (if you'd like us to organise you a private tour of a fab vineyard let us know at the point of booking), pubs and top-class restaurants.

One popular bonus of booking The Cedar House is that guests get exclusive use of our vintage beach hut on the seafront in Lyme Regis. We bought this a few years ago - they come up for sale very very rarely. We had to offer a reward to find one ! But the beach hut will make your visit - it's a great spot to open a bottle of chilled wine and watch the waves gently lap the shoreline.

There is ample parking for 3 cars in our private driveway, and further good public parking a one minute walk up the lane.

What makes this property unique

The house has been designed by the award-winning architect Annie Martin, with a very high attention to detail for all the finishes. Literally, no expense was spared as we use the house ourselves too and have spent far too many days in poor holiday lets.

Whilst the design is striking, the house and garden is lovely and comfortable in any season. It's cosy in the colder months with a beautiful user-friendly log burner, and relaxing in the Spring and Summer when you can open up the huge sliding doors and let the outdoor views spill in to the house.
