    Frequently Asked Questions

    We list a few of the questions people most frequently ask us below, but feel free to contact Lyme Cottage about anything at all if you have questions we can help with.

    Does the cottage provide linen and towels?

    We will make up your beds before your arrival and leave fresh towels in the bathroom, as well as beach towels in the cupboard for you in case you’re tempted for a dip!

    Do you allow dogs?

    Unfortunately we do not allow pets.

    What is the phone signal like?

    It’s sketchy! You may be able to make a call from the front deck or the upstairs bedroom, but otherwise you’ll need to go for a walk to make your calls! The WiFi coverage in the cottage is very good.

    Can I have an early check-in or a late check-out?

    We won’t be able to give you an answer to this until a few days before your stay – but feel free to contact Lyme Cottage near the time or during your stay.

    Are there many stairs?

    There are a few steps up from the lower garden level to the deck/ground floor level, and then a staircase up to the bedroom level. There are hand rails alongside all steps. Contact Lyme Cottage if you have specific mobility requirements you would like to discuss.
