The apartment it was much smaller than it appeared in photos. We thought the rooms were over decorated with various knickknacks and ornaments. The kitchen was tiny. Many surfaces still had dust on them. A family with kids moved into the upstairs apartment. We constantly heard them moving around. The sound installation in the apartments could be improved. I repeatedly attempted to contact Lyme Bay holidays via phone and WhatsApp to resolve these issues. They did not reply to my various messages. Can you refund 50% of the cost?
