Quirky layout, but we enjoyed the terrace at the front to watch the world go by below! ##### Paul P.

A short walk to the town…. Very comfy beds. Well equipped kitchen and lots of space in the house. Hope to return next year. This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Elizabeth S. 3 Jul 2023 #### We love Sundial House This is our 3rd stay at Sundial House, and we love it. It is unique, quirky, and in the most amazing position. There are always maintenance issues, but it is an old listed property so only to be expected. Sitting on the front terrace or the dining room looking out over the beach and the sea is wonderful. ##### Elizabeth S. ### 8/10 Good #### jan c. 27 Jul 2018 #### Beautiful house in perfect location we enjoyed one week at the seafront in Lyme: location and the atmosphere in the old house are fantastic. perfectly equipped for self-catering. good service by Mark Holmes. unfortunately, the house needs a little "new paint": it could be a little cleaner, - compared to our Swiss standard - (especially front and back-garden and cellars are not maintained), some stains on walls (of normal usage), some tiles are broken (in Shower)... lyme Regis and Jurassic coast are great. Fossil Walk is a Must! ##### jan c.

Stunning location with great access to the beach and town. Some of the furnishings are quite worn but we loved sitting by the windows looking out over the sea. Lovely atmosphere in the kitchen and dining area. Some of the sleeping arrangements are ‘interesting’ ie, 2 double bedrooms both access a bathroom, so you need to share with people you know quite well. This was not apparent from the website. Also, one of the showers wasn’t working. Mark was very helpful but couldn’t fix it, so we shared 1 shower between us all which required some coordination. Had a great time exploring Lyme with a fossil walk, dinner at Tom’s, a spot of shopping and tastings at the microbrewery. ##### Lauren M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Doreen F. 16 Aug 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Exceptionally quirky and beautiful Great location with amazing views.

Setup to sleep 9 people. Beautiful views and centrally located to everything in Lyme Regis. This house was so cool from the outside, everyone walking by took a picture of it. Will return again. Cost is above the average but it was worth the memories. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joanne V. 3 Jan 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful house in a perfect spot We had the best Christmas at Sundial. Mark decked the house out to make it Christmassy for us and always responded immediately. The house has a few stairs and some quirky rooms but it adds to it’s fabulous charm. The sea swell was big when we stayed and it was pretty amazing watching the brave winter surfers whilst eating breakfast. The location is great and allowed are large group to come and go and do their own thing. Lyme is a beautiful town and carols around the Christmas tree were very special. If you love the Jurassic coast and fossil hunting this is the place for you. There is a great cafe near the front door of the house and Hix seafood restaurant in Lyme is a must. Could not recommend Sundial more highly. Thank you ##### Joanne V.

Sundial house has terrific , unrestricted views of the harbour , the coast, the sea. Comfortable, well furnished , the kitchen / dining area perfect for the family either, eating , reading the newspapers or just standing watching the continuous flow of people going from one end of the harbour to the other and back. Perfectly located to take advantage of all Lyme’s attractions. Thanks Tony ##### Anthony M.

Plenty of room for us all. Mark was very helpful to answer some queries. Overall it lived up to my expectations ##### Nigel M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dave S. 11 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great short break We stayed here as two families with children and the house was fantastic. There was plenty of accommodation for everyone and room for eating and relaxing, plus loads of cups/saucers/plates etc.. The beachside location is just fantastic and the town with shops/museums etc just a short walk away. The house itself is a bit of a one off and the views are great. If you've got small children you might want to bring a stairgate (there's 4 floors) ##### Dave S. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jenny Y. 28 May 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Staying in Sundial House Wonderful position. Beds exceptionally comfortable. Owner/manager very helpful. ##### Jenny Y.

Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Gwen w. 16 Apr 2019 #### Striking building at a great location Loved the arts and crafts design - would have loved something written about the history and architecture. Wonderful harbour, beach and sea views. Could park the car and forget about it - everywhere on foot! Being above the busy promenade is great for people watching. Beds comfortable. The bathrooms were disappointing: upstairs shower too hot or too cold, the bidet tap is broken - it could all do with an upgrade. Bathrooms and toilets didn't all have curtains or blinds. The kitchen cooking equipment could be improved and arranged. The wood fitting round the sink has broken away etc. What a shame about the garden - needs looking after and enjoyed. ##### Gwen w. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 14 Apr 2019 #### Phenomenal location and views. Lovely property Amazing location and very central. Very comfortable and shower on ground floor was fine. Toilets/ bathroom on second floor requires agreements between family as one leads on to a bedroom. Well kitted out kitchen overall, Yorkshire tins would be handy tho! Like the glassware for wine - no ikea. Very Responsive by email/ phone/ text as made Contact on various bits and bobs -as we left our chargers behind and managed to get them through owner. Some of the website stuff needs a amendment as they do provide towels. Would be handy to put some advice re online shopping delivery as it’s not obvious on google maps that you can park outside the property to unpack or get shopping delivered. We had some fun with Asda but it was fine in the end. Would return ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah H. 8 Apr 2019 #### Super house, wonderful location Very stylish, but comfortable and well equipped house in perfect place for beach and walking. Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. ##### Sarah H. Stayed 5 nights in Mar 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah W. 25 Feb 2019 #### Amazing property in a stunning location. We had a lovely stay, plenty of space and very comfortable. The views are fabulous, and it is so convenient for the town, pubs and cafes and the beach. Mark was very helpful too. ##### Sarah W. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sarah C. 3 Feb 2019 #### An absolutely stunning property! Have never stayed anywhere quite so beautiful.What a situation! The decor in the house was just perfect. Beautiful taste. Everything to the highest of quality. It was peaceful for a weekend retreat....wish it could have been longer. The facilities were great. It felt cosy and we were delighted that the wonderful antique shop is still open on the sea front. We will definitely return! ##### Sarah C. Stayed 2 nights in Jan 2019 ### 8/10 Good #### Fergus L., London 3 Jan 2019 #### Great location, nicely done. Kitchen good, 2 x bathrooms awkward. Overall, this was a great place to stay over New Year. The property has 5 bedrooms but with two of them, you have to go through a bedroom and a bathroom respectively to access. So, the property works well for people who know each other well! Very clean, and everything worked. Host Mark was quick to respond to text messages. All good. ##### Fergus L. Stayed 6 nights in Dec 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kirstie M. 30 Nov 2018 #### Fabulous and quaint We stayed here for our honeymoon after admiring the place for over 20 years. We loved every minute of our stay so much so we booked a fourth night. It did not disappoint. The house is amazing, full of character and so quaint. House is clean, fully equipped kitchen which has the most fantastic sea views! Our daughter loved sleeping in a different bed every night. We loved the convenience of having Lyme on your doorstep, shops, restaurants and of course the beach. A local couple kindly took our 7 year old for a swim in the sea in November, a dream come true for her. Mark is a great host and we will definitely return. ##### Kirstie M. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Barbara H. 30 Oct 2018 #### A wonderful house to stay in. This is the second time we have stayed in the Sundial. I think that says it all. I wrote an excellent review last year and I can hardly improve on that. There have been some minor improvements with some decorating and new curtains in certain rooms, making the house even more attractive. The two outstanding features remain - the house itself must be unique, fascinating and quirky and its position overlooking Lyme Bay cannot be rivalled. Brilliant! ##### Barbara H. Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Naina C. 20 Aug 2018 #### Lovely Historic House in prime seafront location Great place to unwind with the family. Nine of us ranging from 9 to 78! Great cooking facilities. Clean and tidy place. Bathroom tiles could do with freshening up with grout but our overall experience was brilliant. I have already recommended this place to friends. Lay out of room is quirky but nothing that would stop a great holiday. Great balcony from which to enjoy tea while watching the waves! Would definitely come again! ##### Naina C. Stayed 4 nights in Aug 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jayne M., Southampton 16 Aug 2018 #### Beautiful property well situated and tastefully and thoughtfully furnished. Fantastic holiday ##### Jayne M.
