News feed and contacts for scoping out and booking our holiday cottage for an indulgent break on the beautiful Jurassic coast.

Our holiday cottage is a one-bedroomed, romantic getaway situated 3.5 miles from the coastal resort of Lyme Regis, which is a 5 min drive away. Other beautiful beaches are Charmouth (5 mins in the other direction) and Sidmouth and West Bay, both about 30 mins away. We aim to offer luxury for your stay, so the bedlinen on the 6ft wide zip-link bed is 400 thread count, the interiors are decorated with Laura Ashley paints, wallpaper and fabric and the kitchen paraphernalia are good quality brands. There is a freestanding roll-top bath situated under the rooflight so you can gaze at the stars, separate shower and even magically operated mirror in the spacious bathroom! Outside you have a private enclosed patio with access to our half acre garden, if you fancy stretching your legs! Come and stay with us for a relaxed, indulgent break - we'll do our best to make sure you won't want to leave!

The trees in Langmoor and Lister Gardens are illuminated purple this weekend to mark World Polio Day on Saturday, 24 October, and support the Rotary Club of Lyme Regis’s Purple for Polio campaign.

The Rotary International campaign raises awareness of polio and the ongoing global effort to eradicate the disease. Vaccination remains vital to protecting children worldwide and preventing the spread of this potentially devastating illness.

The colour purple has a special significance for the campaign. Each year, children receiving polio vaccinations have one finger marked with purple dye to show they have been vaccinated. This simple but powerful symbol has become closely associated with the worldwide Purple for Polio initiative.

When Rotary launched its global campaign to eradicate polio in 1985, the disease was reported in 125 countries, with more than 350,000 cases worldwide. Since then, sustained international vaccination efforts have reduced cases by more than 99.9%, with wild poliovirus transmission now confined to Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Rotary continues to play a vital role in the fight against polio, raising US$50 million annually. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation contributes a further US$100 million, bringing the combined annual commitment to US$150 million.

Although enormous progress has been made, the fight is not over. Vaccination programmes must continue to prevent the disease from spreading and to protect the progress achieved. The ultimate goal is to eradicate polio completely, making it only the second human disease ever to be eradicated worldwide, following smallpox.

By illuminating the trees in Langmoor and Lister Gardens purple with the support of Lyme Regis Town Council, the Rotary Club of Lyme Regis hopes to raise awareness locally and remind the community that, with continued commitment and vaccination, a polio-free world is within reach.

Beautifully illuminated after dark, the historic Town Mill is a hidden gem well worth exploring when visiting Lyme Regis. It’s a magical spot to discover away from the seafront.

Step inside and discover a piece of Lyme Regis’s industrial heritage. The Town Mill is a working watermill, where the power of flowing water turns the mill machinery to grind grain into flour, continuing a centuries-old tradition .

The complex is also home to two wonderful restaurants: Strawberry Tree, serving delicious Spanish tapas, and Eat at Millside, offering a welcoming place to relax and enjoy a meal. You'll also find craft brewery, Lyme Regis Brewery, galleries and artisan shops.

Whether you’re interested in local history, traditional milling, beautiful architecture or simply a memorable dining experience, The Town Mill is a delightful corner of Lyme Regis that deserves a place on your itinerary.

Some great events to develop your skills this October: 🍄‍🟫 🍂 👩‍🍳

As the leaves turn gold and the air takes on that crisp autumn chill, there’s still a bunch of excitement in the veg patch - and, in fact, October brings one of our favourite times of year in the kitchen. Think hearty stews, roasted roots and squashes, warming spices and slow-cooked comfort food ....
