"Fantastic house in a great location, perfect for a large family holiday"
14 of us (10 adults 4 kids) stayed in the White House for 6 nights and the unanimous feedback was that it was a perfect setting for our whole family to spend some proper quality time together. The house itself is spacious, very well maintained and has everything you need for a large number of people - in fact generally it has 2 of everything! There's enough space for people to spread out and find their own space if they need it. There's parking for up to 7 cars too, which is a bonus. The house is situated at the top of the high street in Lyme Regis and is a relatively short, if steep, walk from the sea front. Everywhere in Lyme Regis seems to be on a slope so that's not a criticism just an observation. My 82 year old father managed the walk several times a day so it's not too bad! Terry and Jinling are very kind and accommodating and, living locally, are never too far away in case of issues (not that we had any). We would love to stay again and are already looking for the next date when we can all make it.Hamish, October 2018
"The best accommodation in Lyme Regis, hands down."
We had a group of 14 at this lovely house and it was perfect. Accommodated the family perfectly and the location is just perfect. We lucked out with the weather and it just showed off Lyme Regis and the house beautifully. Thank you so so much for having us and we'll be back ASAP!Joe, October 2018
"Weekend reunion"
Six friends at The White House for a reunion weekend. The house is very comfortable and brilliantly located for the town and beach. Superb sea views from four of the bedrooms, dining room and small terrace. We loved that each bedroom had en suite shower rooms. The owners are friendly and helpful and live close by. Would love to return to Lyme and to The White House.S, October 2018
"Perfect"
I booked this beautiful property with my family to celebrate my 50th and it was absolutely perfect. The owners have done a great job here. All very clean, great sized bedrooms all ensuite. Plenty of living area. We hired a chef for our birthday meal and the chef was thrilled with what was in the kitchen. Great to all have plenty of parking, superbly positioned. I have just passed the details to a friend as I can highly recommend it. Terry and Jinling both lovely people.Louise, September 2018
“Wonderful house for a gathering”
We were a group of 9 adults and 6 children celebrating a 40th birthday. The White House was absolutely perfect. Fantastic location and a short walk to the beach. Stunning views which we enjoyed whilst having breakfast on the patio. All the bedrooms are spacious, spotless and tastefully decorated. All of them apart from one had sea views. Brilliant games room for the kids, nice big kitchen and dining room, plenty of parking. We didn't want to leave! We will definitely return.Sarah, September 2018
“A beautiful house”
Thanks so much for a lovely weekend in your stunning home. They have thought of everything right down to 2 ovens, dishwashers, toasters and kettles allowing you to cater for the masses during your stay. The location was perfect and we will all be back.Ledders9, September 2018
“A perfect place for a large group in the heart of Lyme Regis”
The White House is perfectly located for beach, shops, rock pools, bars, restaurants, arcade, gardens. We literally threw away the car keys for a week. The house itself is very well equipped, beautifully decorated,with everything you need, rooms are all en suite and spacious, with a kitchen, utility room, dining room, huge lounge and games room. Outside there is a small courtyard garden with seating and BBQ (which we made good use of) and the added bonus of 7 car parking spaces, which is a great addition to any property in Lyme Regis! Terry and his wife have been very accommodating from start to finish, and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend a stay in The White House, we will be back!Lynne, September 2018
“Lovely house in great location”
The White House is the best holiday home we have ever stayed in. It was exceptionally clean, with great facilities in a fabulous location with stunning views.J, August 2018
“Great stay, at a lovely house in an excellent location.”
Our stay at the White House in Lyme Regis was excellent from start to finish. The accommodation has plenty of space and the rooms are bright, airy and clean. An added bonus is the parking capacity on the property. The beach is within walking distance as are the local amenities. We'll definitely be visiting again!D, July 2018
“Great accomodation, great location, great views, great parking.”
The White House was the perfect choice for our wonderful break. It was immaculate throughout and in a great location for the beach, walks, local attractions..... everything. Lyme Regis is a beautiful town and was right on our doorstep. There was plenty of room though as a group of old friends catching up we spent most of our time laughing around their large kitchen table. Thank you to its very helpful owners, we will certainly come again and recommend it to friends and family.RF, July 2018
“Perfect location for a group break near the beach”
Fabulous second stay at the White House it has everything you need for a town centre break and only 10 minutes walk from the beach, we will be visiting again.Helen, July 2018
“What a lovely house and host”
Had a lovely weekend break in The White House with no sign of Donald Trump ! Clean, Spacious, Quiet, Lovely Views and Hosts. Made my weekend with the in laws surprisingly a wonderful experience. Will definitely return. Anthony R and In LawsAnthony, June 2018
“Perfect large group accommodation”
We were a group of 14 girls and found the house to be spot on! The house was very clean and modern, everything worked perfectly and the sea views from the bedrooms were amazing! It was a great location, less than 10minutes from the sea front. The owner, Terry, was incredibly helpful with questions we had beforehand and was on hand when we arrived at the property. The kitchen was well equipped and the range of living spaces were all well sized so we could all be together comfortably for meals and relaxing. The garden/outside space was very small but due to the location close to the beach this really didn’t matter. There was plenty of parking too and the semi detached nature of the property meant we did not have to be too concerned about making noise in the evening. We would highly recommend this property.A, June 2018
“Birthday with friends”
We booked the house for a friends birthday, we are 6 couples and 2 children. The house was perfect with us all having our own bathrooms. Plenty of space in the lounge for the evening and great additional room, for those who want to play games or watch sport. Patio had great views of the coast, and easy walk into town and the beach. Thank you both we will be back soon. MicheleMichelle, June 2018
“Fab weekend away”
Had the best time at The White House for my mum's 70th Birthday. Everything you could possibly need is in the house. We had fantastic weather so spent most of the time outside having bbq's. All the bedroom were clean and all had ensuites. Very nice welcome hamper of red n white wine and local biscuits. Would defiantly recommend and will be returning.J, June 2018
“A wonderful weekend”
The White House is in a very convenient location with fantastic views. It is very well equipped and comfortable and the outside space was a real bonus in view of the beautiful weather we had for our weekend in Lyme Regis. There were 9 adults and 4 small children and babies in our party and not only was there plenty of room in the house but the numerous parking spaces were a great asset. Terry and his wife have been so helpful - thank you for a lovely stay.K, May 2018
“Well equipped house in great location perfect for family get togethers”
Positioned just off the main street The White House has multiple car cars spots for people staying here which was perfect. Beautifully presented and every possible bit of kitchen equipment you may need this was a home from home house- rare to find. We were a family group of 8 with 3 cars meeting up in Lyme Regis and this house would comfortably manage its 14 capacity. Lovely town, great restaurants and amazing walks made this a great weekend destination that we would love to return to.Oldkenlady, May 2018
“Fantastic”
We booked the White House for our mum's 80th birthday, so all the family could be together. The house is beautiful, beds are very comfy. The owners are lovely people and could not do enough for us. Our mum had a lovely birthday and it was nice for us all to be together from all over the country. Would recommend the accommodation and location. Will definitely be booking again for a family get together.Sanpez, May 2018
“Our stay could not have been better!!”
We had a wonderful time at the White House! On first walking in we were wowed by the beautiful style of the interior and how light and airy all the rooms were. This is such a practical house for a large group with loads of space. The kitchen was superbly equipped with everything we needed for cooking large group meals together and I have to highlight how delightful both Terry and his daughter were. They came over in minutes when we couldn’t work out the oven and were so friendly and made us feel really very welcome. The parking is very practical for the centre of such a compact place as Lyme and the location is wonderful! We had silent peaceful nights on comfy beds, waking up and hearing only birds and yet only 2 minutes walk to the beach and centre of Lyme Regis town. The sea views from several of the bedrooms are stunning and from the outdoor patio space. The website photos do not do the house justice. I cannot rate this house highly enough! It completely surpasses our expectations! We are already discussing when to book to go back again!Hattie, April 2018
“Briliant”
Four generations in our party, all loved the White House. Lyme Regis has something for everyone, will defiantly book again.Graham, April 2018
“A great house for a big group!”
We booked The White House to celebrate a special birthday with friends and family of various ages. Each of the 7 bedrooms was well appointed with ensuite bathrooms. There are great general areas with TV and games consoles and a very comfortable large living room which was big enough for all of us to get together in. The kitchen had several toasters and kettles which made it easy when preparing breakfast for 14. The kitchen seemed to be well equipped but we didn’t actually prepare any meals there. A big dining room table which could seat all 14 but a slightly cramped dining room but still ample for the job!, The position of The White House is absolutely brilliant with loads of parking which is amazing to find in Lyme!, The owners are Terry and Jinling but we only met Terry on this occasion who was a really nice, laid back guy who just let us get on with it but clearly would have been happy to help us out had there been any problems. He was really flexible regarding timings to check in and out. He left a generous basket with wine and biscuits on our arrival which was a lovely touch. Thoroughly recommend staying here. You won’t be disappointed.K, April 2018
“EXCELLENT EASTER FAMILY HOLIDAY”
My family were looking to go to Lyme Regis for Easter weekend 2018 .I started searching a few places that not only could fit us all in but also in our price range. The White House looked perfect so got in touch with the owners. So glad i did, not only was it the perfect location it had everything you could wish for we all had our own room with en-suites, tv's in most of them. which meant we could all have our private time.The house is massive,well equipped plus the extra benefit of 7 free parking spaces at the property.The games room, the lounge, the kitchen all big enough for us all not to mention the dinning room which sat us all around and perfect for beer pong.Look forward to booking it again.Thank you Terence & JinlingGuest, April 2018
“Very central location to town and the beach - fabulous cottage with stunning views of the bay from most of the bedrooms”
We booked an adults long weekend at this fabulous character cottage. Most bedrooms had amazing views over the bay. Great for entertaining, huge dining table and great seating arrangement in the main lounge area. Games room also with a multi functional games table which would be great for younger kids. Would recommend for families as well as adults for a comfortable and relaxing week/weekend away. The two double bedrooms on the top floor had stunning views and there was also a double and twin room with a Jack 'n' Jill bathroom, ideal for a family unit. Indian restaurant/take-away next door, which came in very handy :-))R, March 2018
“40th Birthday Treat”
We booked the White House for my Wife’s 40th Birthday. This house was a brilliant find. It is extremely well equipped down to every detail. All of the rooms are very well decorated and are large. Even though we were a group of 10, 14 could easily be accommodated. Terry and his Wife met us on arrival and were really helpful. In summary we all loved it and both the house and Lyme Regis were perfect for our break.Howard, March 2018
“Home from home, but better!”
Great location at the top of the High Street, off street parking, warm welcome, excellent accommodation throughout including really well equipped and thought through kitchen. Stylish and comfortable sitting room and games room. Plenty of bathrooms. Very happy to recommend and hopefully will get to return another time.H, March 2018
“Beautiful House in a great location - perfect for a large family gathering!”
This property exceeded all our expectations. The location was great - just off the Main Street - with plenty of private parking (a real bonus in Lyme) and the sea views from many of the rooms were fabulous. The house was spotlessly clean and all the many en-suites immaculate.The beds were comfortable with lovely crisp white bed linen and TVs in each room. With so much attention to detail, contemporary furnishings and a very well equipped kitchen, suitable for catering for large groups, it really did feel like a home from home. The rooms were far more spacious than they appeared in the photos and it was lovely to be able to have everyone fit comfortably into one room for a film night on the huge TV! The only reason I would not recommend this property is that I would like it to be available for my next trip to Lyme Regis!!T, January 2018
“Amazing Christmas”
We booked the White House to celebrate our baby's first Christmas with both sides of the family. It was a fantastic house and exceeded all expectations! We loved everything and the owner's had even put up a tree for us. Truly the best way we could have spent our first Christmas as a new family and it felt like a real home. The location was brilliant, right in the town. All the bedrooms had en suites and were well kitted out (nearly a tv in every room). The lounge and games rooms were very spacious. The whole house was fabulous.Nood1986, December 2017
“Superb location, great views and lovely house”
We booked this house for the weekend for my mum's 80th birthday. The house was great for the 10 of us, well appointed, spacious and well positioned near the centre of Lyme Regis. Would definitely stay there again.David, November 2017
“Perfect location and everything you need for a perfect break away.”
We are a group of 13 friends who enjoy meeting up to celebrate an early Christmas together. The White House is perfectly situated in Lyme Regis, and only a short walk to the shops, beaches and the Cobb. We enjoyed a takeaway from the Indian next door which was very tasty. The house is very homely and welcoming and the views from most of the bedrooms are stunning. It was very clean and modern. We had good weather so didn't get to enjoy the games room but maybe next time. There are lots of original shops in Lyme Regis and can recommend the Lyme Bay Christmas Pudding Wine. Have already recommended the White House to my work colleagues and will definitely return one day. Its a wonderful place to unwind and have fun with family and friends.Guest, November 2017
“The White House”
The house was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. We were a party of twelve and there was plenty of room to relax in the lounge. The games room and multiple large screens were very popular. The location is perfect to explore Lyme Regis and the surrounding area.David, October 2017
“Fantastic house for a large group”
The house is in such a great location that once you park you don't need to use your car again. The house is large enough for a big group to have plenty of space, with each room having an ensuite. The football table was a huge hit with our toddler and the foot massager with us! Terry was helpful and answered all questions and queries promptly. This is the second time we have stayed at The White House and probably not the last.Ellie B, October 2017
“Absolutely brilliant for a large house party right in the heart of beautiful Lyme Regis”
We stayed here in September for a large family birthday gathering of 13 adults and 1 toddler and it couldn't have been better. Seven genuine double bedrooms all very stylish, with amazing ensuite facilities (one Jack and Jill bathroom). Great living accommodation, plenty of room and everything in the kitchen you could think of. The really large dining table is perfect for a large get together - with the added benefit of a view to the sea. There are great views from the bedrooms and the location is just perfect. Close to shops, pubs, restaurants and only a bit further to the beach. Everything was immaculate, everything worked and everything you need for a comfortable weekend away was provided. Can't recommend it highly enough.A TripAdvisor Member, September 2017
“Another amazing weekend”
This is our second time we've used The White House and it didn't disappoint. Lyme Regis is the middle point for our Ex uni house mates and suits us perfectly. Everyone except me has either one or two children and the house manages to fit us all. The facilities are great - there's a massive dinner table for us all to eat around. All of the bedrooms have en suites and a huge living room to lounge around. I can't recommend this place enough.Ronnie M, October 2017
“Exceptional”
This place is truly exceptional. If you want a special place to stay in Lyme for a large group look no further you will not be disappointed. From the moment I booked to the time we checked out, Terry and his wife have been amazing- they are relaxed, friendly and super helpful. The house itself is stunning and has everything you could possibly want and need, from kitchen equipment to a games room. All bedrooms are clean, beautifully decorated and there is a really lovely 'vibe' about the house which makes you feel very at home. Among the many charming features of The White House, you have the bonus of a lovely outside space and a fabulous comfortable and contemporary decorated sitting room. You are situated so close to everything here too, no need for cars! I would thoroughly recommend this house- I didn't really want to leave and I think we all felt the same. If it were possible I would give many more stars. Thank you Terry, The White House is a true gem.lex2478, August 2017
“Superb location”
We had a fantastic week at the White House. With 3 generations there was space for everyone to relax or be together. Very thoughtful welcome basket and splendid cake welcomed us all. The location is excellent with wonderful views. The owner was very helpful and flexible and responded to any queries. An entirely positive experience. The unanimous response from all family members is that we will be back! Thank you from us all.Holiday Lettings Verified, August 2017
“Great house, perfect for our needs!”
You couldn't get a better location, just a few metres away from Lyme's lovely shops and a very scenic short walk to the beach. With 7 adults and four children, the house was spacious, characterful, very comfortable and came with wonderful views. The children loved the games room and adults loved the stylish lounge (and the peace and quiet!). We are already booked to come back next year!Emmabrooksy, August 2017
“A wonderful place!”
We stayed at the beautiful White House in August and had the most fantastic time! Every room is beautifully presented and spacious. If you're in Lyme Regis there is no better place to stay, this is the perfect location! P.s we can not wait to come back already!!carolinemcdermid, August 2017
“Wonderful holiday house!”
This really is a very special place.......modern, elegant, comfortable, spacious, extremely well equipped and simply perfect for our family (seven adults, four children) summer break! The location is ideal...only a few minutes' walk to the high street and sea front and the ample car parking is a real bonus. We had a wonderful stay and are looking forward immensely to coming back next summer. Oh........Lyme Regis is a bit special, too!Dorfooski, August 2017
"Exceptional"
The White house is ideally placed in a great location withing walking distance to beach, shops, restaurants - everything you need. Tastefully decorated and equipped to to a high standard, it has a lovely ambiance. The extremely spacious rooms were more than amble for our party and the views to the sea were the icing on the cake. We had a great stay there and can not recommend it enough!Fay L, August 2017
"A comfortable, safe home-from-home in an excellent location in Lyme."
On arriving in Lyme, it became clear that the White House car park is a gem .... no parking stress at all. We were impressed with the decor and furnishing ... all neat and tidy and everything worked. Our bed was comfortable and quiet at night. Our en-suite was compact but bright and efficient. Although we were out for our lunches and dinners, the kitchen was well equipped for breakfast and drinks .... laundry was no problem. The location is excellent. An easy walk into town with several great restaurants and pubs within reach.dougreading, July 2017
"Wonderful restful getaway"
The White House is extremely comfortable, modern & beautifully presented. Very well equipped kitchen & utility room with the bonus of being a short walk from the centre of Lyme Regis. The owners were very friendly and helpful, making our stay very special.andreakA1889BZ, July 2017
“Lazily lounging in lovely Lyme”
The White House was a brilliant find. I needed a house large enough for a family gathering, near enough to beach and shops for the more pedestrian of our company and found just the ticket. Over the weekend we had about 15 of us, gradually dwindling as the week wore on. TWH is just a step away from the Post Office and Tesco - easily close enough to run back for something you forgot. The house has two lovely TV/play rooms - largely unused during our stay due to the lovely weather, but certainly big enough to accommodate large numbers between them. The dining room is also big enough for everyone, although the table takes up much of the space if you are like us, you'll use most of it and be glad of the size. I lost count of the number of TVs, but one of them was so good my brother bought one on the internet to be delivered as he got home !! Lovely outdoor area, complete with BBQ. The bedrooms are all really lovely, all with on-suite, other than two of the rooms which share one between them. As a family we really love Lyme, and the central location of TWH ensures there is no excuse to investigate all our old haunts. Thanks Terry; we had a ball. Would I recommend this holiday rental to my best friend? YesRobert I, July 2017
“Ideal home for a ladies weekend”
We couldn't have asked for a better weekend. The house is very well equipped with everything you need to eat in, the bedrooms are all en suite, and also nice big sofas for relaxing. The location is perfect - literally right in the town and with good off road parking too. we will definitely be coming back - couldn't fault it and Terry and Jinling (the owners) go the extra mile to welcome you.
Would I recommend this holiday rental to my best friend? YesHelen P, June 2017
“Wonderful house in excellent location”
What a wonderful house the White House is!! The house is well equipped with everything you need for a memorable weekend. It's location is excellent just a short walk to the town and beach. The views are amazing. All the rooms are perfect. Terry and Jinling are lovely hosts who made us all feel most welcome. It's the extra little touches that make the house the best we have stayed in because as a group of twelve adults we have over twenty years experience and the White House ticks all the boxes. Go and check it out for yourself if you need somewhere for a get together with family or friends, you won't be disappointed. Booking again next year, can't wait. Would I recommend this holiday rental to my best friend? Yes20sunseeker17, June 2017
“Birthday Weekend”
A great place. There were 13 of us to have a get together for a 70th birthday weekend. Ages from 70 to 8! Such a brilliant location. So close to everything. Down side was trying to get money. There is only one hole in the wall at Tesco and when we were there is never worked. You can get money from the post office but post office hours. However we managed this little hic-up. The White House has given us the best memories for Aubreys 70th Party. Would 100% recommend Thank you Would I recommend this holiday rental to my best friend? Yesleenie71, May 2017
"The perfect cottage in Lyme Regis"
We booked this cottage for a group of 12 for my friends hen party. There were enough rooms for some to have one to themself and all were en suite! The sea view from the rooms is fantastic and the living room / kitchen area are big enough to comfortably seat a large amount of people. Everything was clean, tidy and plenty of amenities (iron, two kettles, dishwasher, towels and slippers provided!) we even got to use the outdoor seating / bbq area for an afternoon drink, again with lovely sea view. The cottage is a ten minute walk to HIX restaurant and a very short walk to the Cobb and other places on the high street - it's so central. The seven private parking spaces are unbelievably handy, The hosts were fantastic, friendly, flexible and so easy to deal with. We thoroughly enjoyed everything about our stay here!

Perfect place for a special family weekend
We have just returned from a wonderful long weekend at the White House. It could not have been more perfect for our needs - a group of 12 adults and children celebrating a milestone birthday. The house is spacious, tastefully decorated and well equipped. All the bedrooms are en suite and five have sea views. The games room was perfect for my energetic nephews who loved the table football. The dining room (with sea views) was wonderful for our large family meals, and we were particularly pleased that the lounge could seat our whole group for long evenings of chatting! The other brilliant thing about the White House is its location - in the heart of Lyme Regis, but on a road just slightly away from all the tourist hubbub. It was my first visit to Lyme Regis and we loved the combination of things it had to offer - beach, beautiful walks, fossil hunting, and cafes and shops when the weather is bad. Finally, Terry was so helpful and accommodating throughout the booking process, for which we were very grateful. In short, we highly recommend this beautiful home! Would I recommend this holiday rental to my best friend? Yes.Rebecca H, April 2017
Fantastic family time.
I booked the White House to celebrate my husbands special birthday. I chose it because I knew that everyone could have a double bedroom and ensuite shower and it looked spacious and attractive. When we arrived we weren't disappointed. The house is beautifully presented and very well equipped. Plenty of kitchen equipment. The house is large but so cosy with its tasteful decor and good heating. I booked wit Terry direct and was quick to respond to my emails. Thank you for allowing us to check out later on Monday. Very much appreciated. Would I recommend this holiday rental to my best friend? Yes.jasper107, April 2017
Fantastic large group rental
This house was well presented and had everything we could possibly need. The location was fantastic, so close to the town centre but with parking for several cars. All of us who stayed, would visit again. Would I recommend this holiday rental to my best friend? Yes.Cara H, April 2017
“Brilliant beautiful bedrooms”
Excellent location close to all local pubs and eateries. We loved the sea view from the little courtyard garden. Brilliant well equipped house for large parties and much fun. Easy and enjoyable with very good sized bedrooms. Clean and equipped. Xxxx Would I recommend this holiday rental to my best friend? Yes.Jessica P, March 2017
A family party for a 60th birthday
The property was perfect for our party. the rooms had great views and the space was appreciated by 12 of us. Spotlessly clean and with valuable town centre parking included meant it was a no hassle long weekend. Would I recommend this holiday rental to my best friend? Yes.Peter Geoffrey B, February 2017
“Fabulous weekend with friends”
The White House was the perfect location for one of our friends meet ups. It was walking distance to Lyme Regis town and beach which meant a day without the car The house was clean and well presented and equiped. The children ( and adults) loved exploring the house! The games room was a bonus too. The owners were very helpful and left a lovely treat basket for us too We will definitely be returning.Mary-Jane S, January 2017
“Fantastic weekend spent at the Whitehouse”
We had a lovely weekend going down memory lane in Lyme Regis made even more special by staying at the White House. Everything was provided and in excellent condition, we even arrived to a bottle of wine and two packs of biscuits!Holiday Lettings verified reviewer, December 2016
“Awesome house, perfect location”
The White House is absolutely perfect for a large group getaway. Terry and Jinling made a point of welcoming us personally and were most friendly and helpful; we didn't have any problems, but I'm sure they would have responded immediately if we had. Terry also answered emails very promptly pre- rental. Most bedrooms have ensuites and are equally well appointed so no arguments about who goes where, all but one have a TV. En suites/fittings/decor all modern and tasteful. There are nice touches like a welcome pack of wine & Devon biscuits and slippers for everyone. The lounge is enormous and comfortable and, if you have children, the games room with giant TV, console games, pool/table football is awesome! The kitchen is very well equipped and has everything you need ( conveniently 2 kettles, cafetières to cater for large groups) with attractive serving dishes and crockery. We cooked in on the Saturday night and enjoyed a 5 course meal around the giant dining table There is designated parking for 7 cars at the back of the house down a short driveway. The house is a 5 minute walk down the hill to the centre of Lyme Regis, well placed for all sightseeing, restaurants and shops. We'd recommend the Millhouse restaurant, the Harbour Inn and the Volunteer Inn ( be warned that no food is served between 2 and 5 in most pubs; we got caught out being used to food available all day long where we live). We walked (climbed!) up to the Golden Cap where the views were just spectacular and also along Monmouth beach to the Ammonite Pavement where we found several good fossil specimens. The White House is also available to rent directly through their website.FionaJan, October 2016
First rate accommodation, well equipped, clean and tidy, ideal for 12-14 people. Central to Lyme Regis with off street parking!

“Amazing Place to stay.”
I stayed in the White House with my family to celebrate my Mother's 80th birthday. The trip down was a typical Friday afternoon experience, long and so it was so nice to be greeted by the owners who were extremely friendly and helpful. Parking in Lyme Regis is a nightmare and so to have ample parking at the house was a real bonus. The property itself is beautiful with plenty of space and all the rooms have been furnished to a very high quality. The views are breath taking. I would strongly advise anyone looking far a wonderful place to stay in the Lyme Regis area to stay here and I would have no hesitation in returning for another visit.G905VAchris, September 2016
“We'll be back!”
I've just returned from a perfect weekend in Lyme Regis staying at The White House. From the offset when enquiring about the house Terry, the owner, was helpful and friendly making the planning of a group holiday a little less stressful. The whole party - 12 adults - were extremely happy with the house. There are no 'bad' rooms, everything was clean and comfortable, and the facilities were spot on. Whether we were cooking and sitting down to eat (comfortably at one table) or relaxing in the living room nothing had been forgotten. A home from home! We didn't even use one reception room, the games room, which was well kitted out with games consoles and table football... wine and food was more on the agenda for this weekend. In terms of location it is perfectly positioned at the top of the high street. Right in the heart of Lyme Regis, but still somewhere peaceful to retreat to. To top it all off Terry and his wife (and a friend) acted as a first rate taxi service to take us to the River Cottage on the Saturday night, picking us up at 11pm. A 5 star service. The whole group were so complimentary about the weekend and the house played such a central role in making sure the weekend was perfect for everyone. I would recommend this accommodation to anyone having a large party - both for families and adults. We'll be backGabCarnt, October 2016
“Perfect”
The Whitehouse was perfect for a large family weekend away. House furnished and decorated beautifully and comfortably. Plenty of room, well equipped and in a great location We didn't want to come home!Lainey27_10, September 2016
“Perfectly equipped for large groups!”
We were a party of 14 adults and one baby. Every room was comfortable. The kitchen had everything you'd need. The place was so clean that you could eat your dinner off the floor! Almost a bathroom for every room. Great location, price and views out to the sea from the top level. Highly recommended.Kathyn E, September 2016
“Beautiful house in a great location”
We stayed at The White House for the weekend with 11 guests and had a great time. Rooms are beautiful with very comfortable beds and great views, lovely kitchen & dining area with everything you could need and all very clean. Right next to the high street and only a short downhill walk to the sea! We want to come back every weekend!keiraparish, September 2016
“Fantastic seaside holiday house for a big group”
From the outside it is a picture-perfect traditional seaside villa, on the inside it is smart and modern. Loads of space for a big group, with lovely large sitting rooms and a light and well-equipped kitchen, but also separate shower rooms for all the bedrooms, so everyone had their own space. And the location is great - 5 minutes walk from the beach and the center of Lyme. Definitely recommend.CRSummers, August 2016
“Wonderful for families with small children”
We were a big family group with four children under 6. The White House was perfect - spacious clean and safe for them to run around. The playroom was a bonus. The house is very comfortable and well equipped. The location couldn't be better - walking distance to beach, shops and restaurants and even lots of parking spaces. We particularly liked the restaurant at the Lyme Regis Golf Club. In my opinion it is the best food in town. I can also recommend the Taste of IndiaJane D, August 2016
“The White House is a fabulous place to stay, in an excellent location”
The house was excellent in every way possible. It was very clean, well furnished with great facilities. Everyone in our group thought it was perfect in every way and we all agreed that we would stay there again next year. The owners were very welcoming and helped us settle in without any fuss.Ruthyfitz5, July 2016
“Amazing location, beautiful house”
This was one of the best places I've stayed, it was perfect for our family gathering. Lovely and clean, beautifully decorated, easy. There was lots of room in the big communal areas (living rooms, dining rooms, kitchen, outside terrace). Not only was the house in an amazing location (it's located at the top of the high street, 5 mins to the beach) there was private parking which is hard to come by in Lyme! The owners made us feel extremely welcome. It's one of the nicest experiences I've had - a memorable weekend. Lyme is perfect for relaxing, walking and hiking, lots of things to do. A perfect holiday!! Thank you White House!Sophie C, July 2016
“Excellent location suited for large groups”
Great location close to the centre with excellent views over Lyme Bay. A great location for a reunion or other large groups of 10-14 people. Well maintained with lovely and spacious bedrooms. Have already booked a week for next year!Traveller_London_999, July 2016
“A wonderful stay!”
A group of 10 adults and 2 tiny babies descended upon Lyme Regis for a weekend away and we were not disappointed! We had a wonderful welcome from the owners and we were thrilled with the property. Location was top notch with beautiful views and right in the middle of town - but still very quiet. All rooms were sparkling with crisp white linen and an en suite in every room. The house has excellent entertainment areas also. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay again! Thanks to Terry and Jingling!Clodaghdorgan, July 2016
“Absolutely perfect place for a large family gathering”
We have recently got back from a weekend at The White House celebrating my mother's 50th birthday. The house and location are absolutely fantastic. There were 10 of us staying at The White House but it could easily accomodate more (we had spare rooms!). There was plenty of space to park all of our cars at the bottom of the drive. Every room was spotless with an en suite bathroom and the house is very well equipped. The views of the coast from the house were beautiful. The house itself was a short (and lovely) walk to the coast. We ate at a very lovely fish restaurant overlooking the beach which I would also recommend (HIX Oyster & Fish House). Terry and Jingling were very warm and accommodating hosts, we will definitely be back to visit in the future. Thank you!Jodi I, July 2016
“A cosy stay at the wonderful White House!”
I booked the house for my mum's hen do so a large group of us went down to stay. We were really impressed with the location and the house itself. Only a minute's stroll from the centre of town and an Indian takeaway next door! A real luxury to have ample parking with the house- beware as the drive is quite tight but we still got through in a 4x4! The house was very clean and spacious with the bedrooms especially being fresh and cosy. A real bonus to have an en-suite to every room as well. The top two rooms are the best- amazing views over Lyme Regis. The tea, coffee and biscuits were a lovely touch after a long drive and very handy to have towels included too. The owners were very helpful and welcoming prior to our stay and throughout our stay also. We all said that we would definitely return in the future!Hayley C, June 2016
“Great house fantastic views”
This was our 3rd visit to the White House with our service users, light and bright very clean and spacious, we had a lot of fun in the games room close to all amenities. Jinling and Terry the owners are lovely very friendly and helpful. I would strongly recommend a holiday in the White House with the fantastic views over Lyme Regis.Sue R, June 2016
“Wonderful house and location, we loved our stay”
The White House was a perfect base for our extended family holiday. It suited all 14 of us from grandparents down to the 6 children aged between 9 and 1. The layout of the house worked really well, and it is a real bonus to have ensuite facilities for every bedroom. Plenty of parking for us all. Ideal location for popping out to the town and the beach. Highlights of our week included spending time on the Lyme Regis beach and seafront, feeding the grey mullet in the aquarium on the Cobb, fossil hunting on Charmouth beach, walking to Monmouth's ammonite pavement and going up the lighthouse on Portland Bill.gull16, May 2016
“Beautiful house in a perfect location.”
Stayed here as part of a family celebration. The house was beautiful with lovely views of the sea. It was immaculately clean, well equipped and in the perfect location. We didn't use the car once for the whole stay. Would highly recommend and hope to be able to visit again. Thank you.GLSolihull, May 2016
- Feel really lucky to have stayed in Terry' and Jinling's lovely house in Lyme Regis. Situated within easy walking distance from the centre with all its attractions - the beach, harbour, gardens, beautiful walks and pubs (I recommend The Pilot Inn). There's also an Indian takeaway next door and the house is right by a beautiful pedestrian road lined with cottages (Sherbourne Lane) that takes you down to the river, museums and the Town Mill. Terry was great to communicate with and made arriving and leaving a breeze. As others have said the kitchen is very well equipped, and there's even a dishwasher which we found very useful with a large party. Effectively having two lounges - one set up for videogames and a multi-purpose games table, and one with a huge sofa perfect for films, was a real luxury. The rooms are lovely and airy in the heat, with beautiful views and great showers. Really I have nothing but good things to say about this property and the town itself, the whole party had a great time and we would love to stay again - thanks again 🙂

“Property perfection”
You could not ask for more. The property is located right in the town- 5 mins from the sea and views to match. The rooms are all a good size and each stylishly decorated and furnished. Fittings and fixtures are of good quality. The kitchen is well equipped- we cooked a celebratory dinner for 12 and only needed to bring our own champagne flutes. We had Waitrose deliver and soon found local deli/ bakers for decent bread. Excellent coffee can be found in a cafe a couple of doors away.The long dining table lends itself to gatherings and the adjacent outdoor seating pre drinks or early coffee. If you don't cook there is an Indian restaurant next door and a traditional pub with food a few minutes towards the town- spoilt for choice.Glinys W, April 2016
"Exceptionally clean and in a wonderful location"
This is a beautiful house, Exceptionally clean and in a wonderful location The house contains everything you require during your stay. The views from both the house and patio area are breath taking. There is adequate parking area too. The owners are very kind and friendly and would recommend this to others wanting a weekend or weeks break near the coast.Leanne B, April 2016
“Just the ticket for larger groups, with or without kids”
Spent enjoyable weekend with Friends & Family. The house is well presented and properly equipped for large groups. Plenty of room and the kids especially enjoyed having their own space in the games room "no adults allowed"! Only a short hop, skip and a jump to the beach and for those who like a tipple a number of good watering holes within stumbling distance. Plenty of room inside and good parking off-street parking outside.sib322, February 2016
“Exceptional”
We stayed at the White House for a long weekend at the end of the half term break. The house was very well appointed and all 14 of us had a great time ( youngest aged 3 oldest aged 59) . The owners were very welcoming and were happy to assist us however they could. They answered all our pre-arrival questions very promptly and very fully . The White House is a fabulous place to stay - so close to everything we needed .Lyme Regis is a wonderful place to explore . We would most certainly return.NatBysk, February 2016
“Lovely house, excellent location to the town”
Beautifully decorated house in a great location for exploring the town of Lyme Regis and the surrounding countryside. Ample parking and very helpful owner. Two very good sized lounges, kitchen and dining room and all bedrooms had easy access to bathrooms. If I had one minor quibble it would be that had it been a cold weekend, we could have done with a heater in the bathroom (room 1).Felicity R, November 2015
“Nice house and great location - with parking.”
This was perfect for us as we wanted a house with parking for several pre-war cars and were hoping to be in the town. The house fitted the bill as well as it has double or twin rooms (rather than family) and nearly all en-suite. The rooms are all a decent size, and the shower rooms are mostly quite spacious. The kitchen is fairly well-equipped; we've rented several houses for a group of 10-12 people recently and this one actually has big enough saucepans, which they often don't. And there were enough glasses. The lounge is big enough to seat 12 people, as is the dining table (not sure you could squeeze 14 round it) - and the second lounge is available if your group has different tastes. The heating works well (once we'd sorted out how it worked) and the house was nice and warm (important in Autumn and Spring). My only gripe was not enough clothes storage space - a 2-drawer cabinet in a twin room wouldn't fit 2 people's clothes for a week - and no mirror in the bedroom - both of which would be easy to resolve.Spitfirethecat, November 2015
“One of the best...”
I think this was one of the best houses we have stayed in. There was already talk about booking it again next year at about the same time.GeoffM, November 2015
“breath taking”
on arrival we found the house spotless and very homely. magical views from all the bedrooms across Lyme bay. everything we needed was here. we had a great time and would thoroughly recommend this house to anyone.Kevinwalker1964, October 2015
“A week we look forward to all year, every year!”
The White House is the perfect house in the perfect location for enjoying all that Lyme Regis has to offer. We stay here each year with extended family, some have older teenagers, some have toddlers, and we have found this house ideal for the varying needs of all. We have tried other holiday rentals in and around Lyme Regis, but this one is perfect for us with 7 beautiful ensuite bedrooms and just steps away from the shops, restaurants & park, and just an easy short walk to the beach. The renovations that the owners have done have really brightened up and freshened up this home. We love coming here!Helen B, July 2015
"Perfect"
Beautifully refurbished, ideally located (less than 2mins walk to local supermarket & 5 mins to the beach), and very well kitted out. Met one of the owners briefly too who was lovely. Highly recommended, worth every penny.Dan H, May 2015
"Tastefully refurbished in an excellent location"
A great holiday home for a large group (sleeps 14). New owners have done a fantastic job of refurbishing the property. It is in an excellent location almost in the heart of Lyme Regis, with great views over Lyme Bay. 5 mins to the beach. Already booked for next year!Traveller_London_999, June 2015
"Fantastic family holiday. great location, hope to return sometime in the future"
This is the first review that I have taken time out to do, but after recently having had a wonderful two week family holiday at The White House I felt that I wanted to write this. There were 14 of us, 8 adults and 6 children. The White House is exactly as described recently refurbished to a very high standard. It is very spacious with a great games room, enjoyed by both children and adults. The facilities were excellent and the owners have thought of everything. The parking is a very big plus, an absolute joy not having to use the car being so close to everything. We also met one of the owners who couldn't have been more helpful and friendly.Familyman206, August 2015
