Nautilidae

Nautilidae: Dorset

After spending your time gazing at geological phenomena and prehistoric intrigues of the Jurassic Coast, Lyme Regis makes for a wonderful base to return back to the 21st century. This charming town has bustling high streets, independent boutiques, cafés, and a microbrewery where you can sample local English ales. But it’s not a complete escape from nature either – just a minute walk from this quaint cottage, you’ll also find the sandy shores of Lyme Regis beach.

Full of character inside and out, arriving here is exactly the English seaside abode you’d imagine. With cream walls alongside a bright blue front door and matching sash window frames, a nautical theme immediately springs to mind.

Inside this traditional building, the fresh, modern decor makes you feel immediately relaxed. We love the earthy palette of peach, cream, dark brown wooden floors, and a moss-coloured sofa. Wicker pieces and textures bring a sandy look, offering another reminder of your coastal setting. Further nods to the nautical theme are found throughout the cosy cottage, with anchors, captain’s wheels, and a glossy shoal of decorative fish bringing the seaside to life. Anyone for some fish and chips?
