Well equipped and nicely decorated. Nice quiet lane and near to the centre of Lyme Regis. The parking was on very steep hill, you then had to park at the top of Sherborne Lane on a double yellow line to pack and unpack the car, not good if you had mobility difficulties. Would be good to know before you book. The heating wasnât great even if you turned the thermostat high, the radiators were lukewarm. The oven needed the instruction manual as itâs complicated. No mirrors in the bedroom to dry your hair. Just a little more attention to detail needed.

The cottage was very comfortable , clean and in a quiet spot . There are a couple of things that I feel need a mention. First is the car park, although it is not far it's on a very steep hill, not really suitable for elderly or anyone with mobility issues. The stairs would benefit from a handrail as again steep but not many of them. I think a good addition would be some mirrors in the bedrooms. Having said this we would recommend and would happily return. Lyme Regis is a lovely little town.

The cottage was beautiful and so Christmassy! The beds were comfortable and everything was high quality. It was so nice having lovely wine glasses to use! Unfortunately the toilet seat was broken and we had some issues with the heating making very loud noises - we appreciate itâs an old house though. Mirrors in the bedrooms would be a welcome addition. Location was perfect. Only disappointment was the holiday agent not ensuring we had the correct rubbish bags so we could recycle our waste.
