Fabulous location, only a few minutes from the sea. Next door to the Town Mill Bakery for morning pastries or for an eat-in brunch. The Arched House is beautiful. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds were comfortable. Lots of bathrooms too. The large kitchen diner is a wonderful space and the river runs underneath the window. We had requested all the beds were made up as singles and on arrival this had not been done, however a quick telephone call and someone was there in minutes to sort it out. There is no parking at the house but you are given a permit for a car park a few minutes walk away. We were able to pull up outside the house and quickly unload although you are blocking the road when you do this, however people didn't seem to mind. You won't need the car again as everything is on your doorstep. We would highly recommend a stay in this beautiful house.

Excellent. The owner was engaging too.

However since the takeover of Lyme Bay Holidays by Sykes, the price charged has risen dramatically. This I'm sure is due to the Sykes taking the increase in price as increase in profit. I notice that there were a number of properties in Lyme Regis vacant for the half term holiday, maybe this was due to the increase in prices? Also the Arched house was not fully booked throughout August and price reductions were being offered. There needs to be a rethink Sykes, of your strategies, especially in the present financial climate. It shouldnât be cheaper to go abroad than holiday here in UK. I look forward to a return to more reasonable prices next year as we would love to return.
