Chucky Mama Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 My elderly (but very energetic) saxophone teacher fancies staying around the Lyme Regis/Dartmouth area in late August early September. I think that he would like to be near the Front in a good B&B or maybe hotel. Does anyone have any suggestions/recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelsea Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 I know both places well but can not recommend any particular establishment. Dartmouth is lovely and very popular with the older generation so it may be exactly his cup of tea. I would maybe check out the hotel/B & B listings on here for each town www.tripadvisor.com Also just to let you know Dartmouth & Lyme are nowhere near each other (but you may already be aware of this! ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chelsea Posted July 20, 2009 Share Posted July 20, 2009 Dartmouth is very handy for all of the south Devon coast and is very pretty. Lots of lovely cafes/restaurants (cream teas ) and the town will be a hive of activity if he goes the end of August for the annual Dartmouth Regatta, so is definitely worth considering. http://www.dartmouthregatta.co.uk/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky Mama Posted July 20, 2009 Author Share Posted July 20, 2009 That might well appeal to him. He is a lovely man and is interested in just about everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
girlsmum Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 My parents live in Charmouth, about 4 miles east of Lymme Regis. Very pretty village with campsite, b and b's and hotels. Got heritage site status, lovely beach, fossil and nature museum, shops and several pubs. Well worth a visit. Girlsmum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubereglu Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 Lyme Regis is nice, quite a sandy beach and there are lots of good cliffs and rockfalls nearby to go looking for fossils in. You can also go kyaking around the Jurrasic Coast-my friend's done this and loved it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willow Posted July 21, 2009 Share Posted July 21, 2009 These cottages are a short drive from Lyme Regis and in countryside http://www.hellbarn.co.uk/ . The couple who own the cottages are lovely, cottages small, pleasant and very clean. Wonderfully authentic farm view of piles of old equipment from an upstairs window of one of the cottages as a previous visitor commented in the visitor book it's almost a Tate exhibition worthy view If you like good food it's definitely worth pre-booking the Japanese food.

Chucky Mama Posted July 21, 2009 Author Share Posted July 21, 2009 Thanks Patricia, they look lovely. I spoke to him tonight and he thinks that he wants to say on tje Seafront. I will keep details of the cottages though for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
