The house had the space required for 12 people,unfortunately the sofas in the main lounge were too low and not very comfortble, with no throws. The kitchen was not as well equiped with baking trays especially when you are catering for serious allergies. Pillows were not very good , or enough on the beds.A welcome pack with Doctors,Dentist,Hospital, Vets and Wifi should have been listed and placed in a promenant position.

X4 adults and X2 dogs. Plenty of space for all of us, and could certainly accommodate many more people.Dogs had a fabulous time in the garden and is very secure.You will need a car to get anywhere, but only 5 mins to Lyme Regis and roads are good to go further.Cosy kitchen, heated by an Aga and two sitting rooms and a dining room.The only reluctant criticism is the decor and furniture. We found the beds uncomfortable and didn't really sleep well. We slept on top of the duvet with a blanket, helped a little. It could use updating, but it's a old house, and was lovely to experience it.Richard, the owner is lovely, friendly and gave a lovely welcome pack, which we enjoyed.We would recommend it.

What a great house to get several generations of the same family together for a celebration.The house is fully equipped when catering for large numbers, very friendly and helpful host. Loved the gifts left to welcome us all.Lots of space inside and outside of the property.We would definitely stay again if we needed a property of this size.Short drive to Lyme Regis
