The kind of place you don't want to leave. The vaulted bedroom, the morning birdsong, the walk to the pub at sunset — Kate and Matt have thought of everything, including what to leave alone.

Pippin Cottage

We booked both cottages for my mum's seventieth. Eight of us across three generations, two front doors, and a kitchen big enough for the whole evening. Lyme Regis on Sunday, the pub on Monday. Perfect.

Both Cottages

The location is perfect: countryside on the doorstep and the coast close enough for easy day trips.
