When the sun came out, it was glorious. The facilities were great and we had everything we needed - comfortable beds and nice bathrooms. The living room is a little dated but the aspect is so good, and the room so comfy, you really wouldn't care. Sitting out on the balcony in the sun was a dream. Can't recommend this place enough. The only negative is that you have to pay to park to unload as you can't really stop on the road and the permit is for the carpark ten minutes up the hill. Not a massive deal to us. We loved it and would happily book again.

Only 1 very minor point - there was no cloth in the kitchen to wipe the sides which would have been useful. I do agree the en-suite shower rooms are small (very inventive use of space!) but there is shower over the bath for those wanted a little more space.

The property was well located, the view from the balcony was brilliant, furniture was comfortable and the whole place was clean and tidy. There was everything supplied that we needed. The only complaints we had were; 1. One of the ovens wasn't working, drawing a cross on the control knob with a marker pen should have been backed-up with a notice telling people it didn't work, though getting it fixed would be a better option, feeding a group of six with only one oven caused problems. 2. The 'Local Information' book needs to be kept up-dated. The cinema 'showing all the latest releases' burnt down before Covid, and the 'Children's Animal Farm' at Abbotsbury (which we visited) closed during Covid and has never re-opened. 3. The entrance-way and stairwell let the place down terribly. The smell of mould and damp and the accumulation of feathers and rubbish we had to step over to get in the door was off-putting to say the least. If mesh screens were fitted to the window frames to keep the pesky seagulls out, at least the windows could be opened when the cleaners are there. On the plus side, our grandchildren gave the spiders in the stairway names and said good morning every-time we went out. 4. Several of the bed-side lights and the standard lamp in the lounge, have either faulty connections or loose bulbs, they flickered on and off, this may seem a small point, but for people who like to read in bed, it became impossible to do so. On the whole, Lyme Regis was well worth the visit, with excellent restaurants and shops, brilliant 'chippie' and a great buzz within the town and waterfront. We would return.
