Anning Road Studio, Lyme Regis

Anning Road Studio is a self-contained, all on one level, studio annex conveniently located in a residential road just five minute's level walk from the seafront, shops and other amenities in the unspoilt and delightful seaside town of Lyme Regis in West Dorset.   Attached to the welcoming owners' home, the annex provides modern, good quality holiday accommodation for couples and comprises a bed/sitting room, a newly fitted shower room and a separate kitchen area. This is an ideal base for those who don't plan to be doing lots of cooking while on holiday particularly as the town includes celebrity chef Mark Hix's superb Oyster and Seafood Restaurant, along with many other restaurants, cafes, pubs and tearooms. The kitchenette has a two ring hob with small oven, toaster and kettle that will suit many guests preparing breakfasts and simple meals but serious cooks need to be aware of the limited options. The bed/sitting room includes a double bed and a two-seater sofa. Outside there is a sunny patio area with table and chairs and access to an allocated off-road parking space.

With its sandy beach and seafront promenade, Lyme Regis is a wonderful location for couples looking for a traditional seaside break. There are a wide selection of independent shops, as well as an award winning museum, and a small theatre. For the more adventurous, the South West Coast Path heads west through the amazing Undercliffe between Lyme Regis and Axmouth, or east towards Charmouth and the magnificent National Trust land at Golden Cap. For those planning a holiday without a car, the mainline railway station in nearby Axminster is served by a regular bus service (or taxis), to and from the town.
