A little sofa would be nice. Shower head and tile grouting could do with a descale/scub but it was clean. Kitchen are and equipment all very clean. We very much enjoy the Bothy and our weekâs stay and hope to be able to return sometime.

Impressed with amount of electric plugs and hooks which has been lacking in other holiday lets, would have liked a power shower. The Bothy is tucked away but friendly helpful owners around if needed. Would recommend for relaxing short break in picturesque Lyme Regis and hope to return again next year.
