Homestead, Lyme Regis is a cosy riverside cabin, 10 mins walk from the beach
Overlooking the River Lym, Homestead is a wooden cabin built in 1915 and recently refurbished to a high standard. This cosy and comfortable home, retaining much of its original charm, provides a perfect base for holidays in Lyme Regis. Footpaths along the tranquil River Lym provide an attractive and easy walk to the seafront, shops, pubs and restaurants, or, heading upstream, walking routes in the beautiful surrounding countryside including the Wessex Ridgeway long distance route. The living room is cosy and comfortable, with a wood-burning stove. There is a sun room at the front of the property providing a lovely spot for relaxing, looking at the river, and watching the world go by. Off-road parking for a medium sized car is available on the property's driveway. Please note the access is awkward. Parents of young children should note the terraced garden and proximity of the river. Monday or Friday changeover.

Sheenas cabin was a perfect beach side cabin. It was lovely to walk along the river to reach the beach and township. The cabin itself was absolutely spotless and even roomier than the photos showed. We loved being able to eat out or cook up our own meals in the kitchen which had everything we needed. We had a fantastic stay here as it was close to everything - no car was needed!
Stunning property on the eye, in a tranquil location short stroll to the town. Everything we needed to make our stay perfect at Homestead.
The host had ensured everything was in place for our stay. We would thoroughly recommend a stay here, we left with fond memories. Thank you Sheena.
Homestead was clean tidy and comfortable, and was well equipped with everything you need for a self catering holiday. Definitely recommend. A very short walk into Lyme Regis with all its independent shops, cafes etc. The Town Mill and Lyme Regis Museum are well worth visiting. One thing to note, the parking at Homestead is tight as is mentioned in the description so take care.
Lovely property with everything you need, and fantastic location.
Everything you need for a self catering holiday, clean modern property next to a river. Great location, just a 10 min walk along the river to the town and beach.
Homestead is a great find. It's cosy, well equipped riverside cottage. It is a close walk into Lyme Regis, which makes it very convenient. Would certainly recommend.
Very well equipped comfortable property that makes the most of its available space. Excellent position for Lyme that is an easy and pleasant walk along the river
I will definitely be looking to return for a longer stay
A beautiful property we have been here a number of times and love it we can just park up for the week and walk along the river upstream to the countryside of down stream to lyme beautiful
A nice, clean and thoughtfully furnished riverfront cabin, providing all we needed for a three night mini break after months of lock down. In a very hilly and steep Lyme Regis the cabin location is perfect as you can walk to town in 10-15 minutes along the river which is reasonably flat compared to much of the town. We appreciated having a dishwasher and although not cold enough to use in September, the wood burner looked very inviting. We did struggle to open the outside key box so perhaps some further instruction would have been helpful. We arrived to find milk and a chocolate bar in the refrigerator and ice in the freezer which was a lovely added touch. I would certainly recommend staying at this property when visiting Lyme Regis.
A delightful property- clean, prettily decorated and spacious. Comfortable bed and settee and everything you could want was provided. The location was excellent with an easy walk along the stream into Lyme Regis and the beach.
Here for the second time,Homestead is clean and fresh and everything you could want for a break . It The setting is calm and peaceful with just a short stroll into the beautiful Lyme centre. Perfect for our walking weekend.... actually Homestead is just that , perfect !!!

About the host
Hosted by Sheena Le Bas
We moved to Lyme Regis from rural Derbyshire in 2010 to be closer to family and the beautiful Dorset coast. Homestead is a family venture, owned jointly with my brother and managed by myself and my husband Ben with assistance from our three girls and various friends and family. We enjoy sharing Homestead with visitors and giving more people the opportunity to visit this beautiful corner of the England.
Why they chose this property
Homestead is only 5 minutes from our own home in Lyme Regis; a place that we love sharing with friends and family when they come to visit. It is in a fantastic setting on the River Lim and its cabin structure has that lovely seaside feel.
What makes this property unique
Watch the world go by from the warmth and comfort of the spacious sunroom. If the sun is out you will feel its full benefit in the sheltered garden. Enjoy the nautical theme to the décor and bright, airy feel.
