  We had a nice stay here and found the twin beds comfortable.

  I liked the decor and I liked that they had tried to make it modern but with original touches. There was a nice harbour and sea view. The master bedroom which we did not use was a very generous size and I would suggest putting a sofa in there as extra seating for when 4 guests stay as the lounge is on the cosy side. There is an indoor swimming pool which is open from approx 8am-5pm when staff are around. We didn't use it so can't comment on it. This apartment has a shared balcony with harbour view apartment next door. It does require some decent outside seating, which 4 guests can use though. You can hear some of the theme park music from here but we didn't hear any inside. There was a nice breakfast pack left for us, which was a thoughtful touch. There were only 4 plates/cups etc so you had to use the dishwasher after every meal or wash up so more of these are required. I also found on arrival that the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes so cleaners need to be made aware of checking this as I don't go on holiday to have to sort out other peoples dirty dishes! There are no staff on site after 5pm so consequently the side gate leading to the car parking area is not locked up and more importantly the main doors leading into the apartment block are not locked either so lack of security because anyone can wander in! That main door should have some coded lock on it so only guests can access the building especially as this is at the back of the castle. There is a shared patio area with table and benches. I didn't receive a phone call with access details before I arrived so was a little clueless about where to go and how to get in luckily Richard, general manager was there to show me around but if I had arrived later than 5pm I would have been in a pickle! I did have a missed call from London on my phone (spam? or the company?) but no voicemail left and no email sent so they need to rectify this especially as all staff go off site around 5pm. I was also sent a 20 page document of T&C's from the owners after I had booked and paid in full to Sykes. Guests need to see this before they have paid not after so that they know what the rules are and if they want to go ahead with the booking!! This apartment would not be suitable for anyone with a mobility issue as there are stairs and the free standing bath is quite tall. A shelf is required in the bathroom and the shower is a tall overhead one so not practical if you don't want to get your hair wet every day. A lower shower in addition to a high up overhead one is the norm nowadays. I would have preferred a lid on the toilet seat too. The bathroom door cannot be unlocked from the outside so be careful if you stay with children incase they get themselves locked in. The kitchen is situated in like a hallway between the lounge and then the bathroom /bedrooms so hubby just had to stay in the lounge whilst I cooked to avoid accidents with hot water/food. Take tea towels/washing up sponge and kitchen roll as there were none. The freezer is a small ice box type. A shared washing machine is provided in a room elsewhere and is free and there is a tumble dryer which is 50p to use. It was very quiet at night, which we liked. The best value would be for a family with young children that use the pool and go into the 'time warp', but quite endearing theme park.

  First time to Lyme Regis , what a gem!

  Excellent location for popping in and out during variable weather!. So much to explore. We left the car in the long stay Holmbush car park for the entire 5 nights stay. Very good bathroom, the best . Pleasant styling throughout. Kitchen would benefit from having a long shelf above sink area, to put things whilst preparing food etc. Didn't try the Nespresso machine as pods provided not compatible, shame . Marked down on cleanliness as some of the crockery not clean, obvious dried egg etc. but we found the dishwasher to work very well . More teaspoons and knives, dessert spoons.would have been useful. The TV only had limited channels available on free view even with a retune and the internet channels took a while to set up for the new? router pass code. This was useful to view some of the missing freeview channels Beautiful view from top terrace, sadly only one afternoon good enough to sit out . A shrub on way up somewhat overgrown . Nice goodies left , thank you , we really enjoyed our stay.

  Flat extremely clean and perfect for two but has some slight quirks which need sorting out.

  The blinds in the bedroom and the lounge don’t fit the windows. They end about 4 inches from the bottom. In the bedroom the curtains are so flimsy that they too don’t do their work. This means that you can see into the bedroom and right onto the bed from the street outside even with the curtains closed. It’s the same in the lounge but that’s not as worrying. There is no room on the other side of the bed for a bedside table and the shelf provided was hanging off the wall. We did inform the owner/landlord/caretaker who took it away, leaving us with no shelf. The shower is quite old and could do with replacing and the shower head and holder don’t match so it’s tricky to adjust the position of the shower head. We had lovely welcome gifts which we really appreciated but I’d prefer money to be spent on the things mentioned above.

  Lovely little property and would definitely stay again.

  I did have massive trouble opening the front door. The bottom lock was fine but I fiddled about with the top half of the door for about half and hour before I got it to open. After that I only locked the bottom section. If there's a knack to it, I'd like to know next time! I also thought the towels were quite small for a bathroom. Fine for me, but maybe not for a bigger person. I also didn't realise there would be any kind of welcome pack as it wasn't mentioned in the property details. It was very useful but most properties do seem to list what they put in it, which would be handy. Very well equipped and the upper terrace with the view was lovely. Really enjoyed my stay - thank you.

  Had a lovely stay at Cherrywood Barn, everything was spot on.

  Our only problem was we could not figure how to work the oven and microwave as digital, difficult for older people like us but we had planned to eat out most of the time so not really a problem. We were very lucky with the weather so we're able to make the most of the lovely balcony and peaceful surroundings. Local pub a very short walk away and fantastic Sunday lunch. Owners Catherine and Derek were so nice and the Lemon cake and Apple Juice were so nice to have on arrival. Only thing we feel that could have improved our stay would be to have access to a couple of relaxing garden chairs to enjoy the garden. Will definitely recommend to friends and family.
