The Boat Building Academy houses living accommodation for nine students. The accommodation is basic but comfortable and reasonably priced, enabling people to live and work on Monmouth Beach for the duration of their course.
Rooms are reserved on a ‘first come, first served’ basis as people book their place on a course. Should the accommodation be full, the Academy will, within reason, help people joining the longer course to find a suitable place to stay in Lyme Regis and the surrounding area.
