  There were a few issues which should have been checked prior to our arrival.

  I contacted Sykes about the major ones which were rectified. The sofa bed was broken which meant we couldn't sit on it for the first day and most of the second. The leak in the cloakroom radiator should have been noticed when the property was cleaned prior to our arrival and the lights checked as a few weren't working. Sykes were efficient and sent someone from maintenance to fix the sofa bed and some of the lights and explained that the other issues would be fixed after our stay. Good service from Sykes and maintenance. The terrace was a let down as there was rubbish in the corner bed which was also full of weeds. The paving slabs had lots of weeds growing through and we found plastic and other rubbish which our dogs could have eaten. It wasn't pleasant and meant we couldn't sit out and relax. The king size bed was extremely comfortable and we both slept well. Both bathrooms are good and the showers excellent. The kitchen was well equipped and we appreciated the lovely welcome pack. If the terrace was weeded and cleaned we would definitely stay again as overall we had a lovely holiday enjoying all that Lyme Regis has to offer so close by. The property location and parking is an asset and it was nice to be able to walk everywhere.

  We had a lovely 3 night stay at Field View.

  We wanted to be as remote as possible to avoid any NYE fireworks and this was the perfect location. Nicola and Mike have thought of everything, this is a luxurious home from home place to be. The kitchen is well equipped making self catering easy, there is a great strong shower, and super comfy bed. The garden was completely secure for our dog so we had no concerns there. Although we were there in December at no point were we cold, the property has lovely solid floors so we were pleased we had packed our slippers (we always do) but the cottage stayed warm throughout as there are lots of radiators and heated towel rails. Bedding was spotlessly clean and there was an abundance of towels. Nicola and Mike had also kindly popped in some welcome treats which were very much appreciated, especially the freshly laid eggs. Although remote and rural the Greyhound Pub is only a short drive away, and Taunton was only about a 15 min drive away. The views were amazing and we were only disappointed that we weren’t there longer in warmer weather to have a lazy breakfast in the garden. We would definitely return and definitely recommend.

  Lovely warm house in great location.

  Open plan and clean and fresh.The key box was not easy to open. I have used lots, but this was tricky. My husband managed to open it in the end. As it was Christmas I needed to buy a roasting tin as there were no baking trays in the house, only the one tray in the oven. I realised this on Christmas Eve and the wonderful Arthur Ford ironmongers was open! The oven gets hotter at the front so food needs to be turned half way through cooking. The dishwasher didn't clean the crockery well, possibly it was due to the dishwasher tablets provided. Would have preferred a washer dryer over a dishwasher due to getting muddy on dog walks! Good to have parking. The people who live opposite park their car in front of the Old Bakehouse corner space. We just used the right hand Old Bakehouse space. One night another car managed to park diagonally in the corner space which could have made it tricky to reverse our car out. Another night and day there was a car parked in front of the house front door (where the info says not to park). Parking not a problem in Winter, but could be difficult in the busy Summer. Would love to stay here again.

  What a gem!

  The cottage is located surrounded by countryside. You have wonderful views, beautiful birdsong all day, incredible sunsets & we were even lucky enough to see deer in the field twice during our stay! It's the most lovely place to relax, unwind & get away from it all. The cottage itself is just perfect! So well equipped, comfortable & clean throughout. That fireplace is stunning. The owners, Nicola and Mike, are just so lovely, so friendly & we enjoyed chatting with them during our stay. And meeting their gorgeous doggies too. It's great they're just next door & on hand if you need anything, but equally they give you complete privacy whilst you're at the cottage. We were so lucky with the endless sunshine whilst we stayed, but the cottage stayed so cool inside which was great for our elderly springer. We had such a relaxing few days & although we explored different places in the area, or was equally just at nice to sit in the garden & absorb the views. We couldn't recommend Field View enough & we will definitely be back to stay again

  We would like to thank Mike and Nicola for providing us with a beautiful little cottage for our holiday.

  The welcome pack really was welcome after the journey down from Yorkshire. The cottage is really well set out and you can see that a lot of time and effort has been taken to make sure the guests have a good time whilst there. It is the most peaceful tranquil cottage we have been in with amazing scenery and sunsets, we managed to go to Dorset, Devon and Somerset attractions whilst there and the only negative we had is that we didn't have more time there than the week we had, our problem not there's. The bed was amazing and you could have stayed there all day but then you wouldn't see any of the amazing countryside and towns. You have all the equipment to cook for yourself or go for a drink and a meal at one of the local pubs, the Greyhound is really good and very popular. Again many thanks to you both and not forgetting Lily, we hope to come back to see you again soon but this time it will be for a longer break, take care of yourselves. Rosaline and Steve (Sheffield).
