Avocet is a well-regarded apartment in Lyme Regis, Dorset, praised for its excellent location, cleanliness, and thoughtful touches. Guests appreciate the proximity to local attractions, the pleasant styling, and the welcome pack. Some concerns were raised about noise and minor maintenance issues, but overall, guests enjoyed their stay and would return.
The apartment generally receives high marks for cleanliness, with guests finding it clean and fresh upon arrival. However, there were isolated comments about unclean crockery and an old sweet wrapper found under the bed, suggesting room for improvement.
The location is highly praised for being close to the beach, restaurants, and local walks. Guests love the convenience and the views from the terrace, although parking can be challenging and costly.
The apartment is described as comfortable and well-furnished, with a particularly comfortable bed mentioned. However, some guests noted noise from nearby pubs and floorboards, and a few suggested the mattress could be replaced for improved comfort.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-equipped kitchen and good bathroom. However, there were issues with TV internet, shower slipperiness, and a tricky front door lock. Some guests also suggested additional kitchen shelving and outdoor furniture.
Guests frequently mention and appreciate the welcome pack, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts can vary and are not guaranteed, guests should consider this a delightful bonus rather than an expectation.

Well equipped kitchen, clean and well maintained throughout. A little noisy from the pub opposite but it was new years eve so understandable. Only a couple little points which didn't effect the overall stay. (Unable to get the outside lighting in the passage way to the property to work, the lack of an ice tray in the freezer and missing the bags to bundle the dirty linen as requested on departure). Would definitely stay again.

When we arrived there was milk in the fridge, cookies, chocolate, tea etc., which we enjoyed a lot. The description for check-in was perfect. It would have been helpful to have some information about the parking situation, to know where long-term parking is possible. The sea-view showed on the picture is the view from the upper terrasse, from the appartement you have got only a small section to see the sea. But we enjoyed to be very near to the seafront and spent some restful days .
