It all began with an idea whilst sitting in Mike’s cottage in Lyme Regis, to create a collection of boutique holiday stays in Lyme Regis on the south west coast of Dorset. Mike and Anna offically launched Lyme Regis Stays in December 2019 and worked hard renovating & refurbishing a small collection of holiday properties delivering a Pinterest worthy design style. Each property telling a story of days gone by exposing parts of the architecture or smoothing plaster around Jurassic fossil gems which peep through the walls.

Anna & Mike now have thirteen boutique holiday properties in Lyme Regis from delightful grade 2 listed riverside fishermen’s cottages to Waterside, the famous ‘blue shutter house’ on the Lynch & River Lym built in the 1800s. All are now sought after holiday lets, with some guests staying longer to work, choosing hybrid working over long weekends and a wonderful smattering of authors.

Seahorse Cottage along with a few others have been refurbished top to bottom. It was whilst Mike’s brilliant local build team bringing to life Anna’s designs that other holiday home owners in Lyme Regis began to notice their presence ‘in person’ and on ‘instagram’. Being especially interested in how Anna & Mike promote the business to a unique audience who are incredibly loyal to each property, repeatedly booking holidays.

Today Lyme Regis Stays proudly shares that for the last year they have been liaising with a group of like minded holiday home owners in Lyme Regis and are delighted to be in contact and working with other owners of stylish properties to the Lyme Regis Stays collection! Some exciting new properties will be coming on in 2025.

Anna said, ‘It’s been wonderful liaising with likeminded owners who have such incredible properties, each one having an advantage in terms of location, period features or just an overall uniqueness to it. I know our Lyme Regis Stays audience will LOVE them and we can’t wait to release each one as they come. We’ll be doing to so on our mailing list first’.

If you own a holiday property in Lyme Regis which has period features, has a wonderful style or unique location Anna & Mike would love to hear from you. We apologise if we can’t take more on at times as we can only grow one step at a time, purely because we will always remain a small, medium size business therefore unable to take on too many. We want to ensure our guests are our No1 priority, that they have a 5 star experience and our properties are also looked after & maintained in 5 star way. It’s this synergy that will keep everyone joyful, guests, owners & reviews.

We’d love to hear from you, all thoughts most welcome, Anna & Mike x
