“We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again.”
The kitchen is very well stocked. Which was really useful. And there were plenty of cleaning supplies and dish soap etc. Although some of the plates in the cupboard were still dirty.
The overall cleanliness was acceptable but I wouldn't describe it as thorough. Places obviously lacked vaccuming, there were a few items found under furniture etc that showed lack of attention to detail in cleaning.
However, there was lots of fresh linen and the bedding was clean and comfortable. The back bedroom mattress is very soft, and probably wants replacing soon.
The floor in the front double bedroom is extremely uneven. Whilst this is clearly a product of the age of the property, and in some regards to be expected, that is something that would have made it unusable to my parents, or perhaps elderly guests.
It seems that the property had been empty for some time before our visit which was quite early in the year, as it was extremely cold and snowing. It took two days to heat the property back up and the living room stayed quite cold. There is the old front door in the room which let in a draft which could be easily fixed by attaching a large thermal curtain over it. We relied on the wood burning stove, but sadly no supplies, short of firelighters has been left. The shed was checked but this was also empty. As it was a late check-in, there was nowhere available to get firewood supplies by the time we got in and settled so we had to wait a day to use it.
For us, we feel that this would have been a better touch than the arrival package if we had to pick one.
Complaints aside, you really couldn't find a better location. The sea front is less than a minutes walk away. Shops, bars and cafés all within walking distance.
We really did love our stay and Lyme in general. It's our second visit now and not the last.
Thank you for your kind comments and I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed the facilities available. I have updated our marketing to make it clear that logs are not provided for the wood burners. I will speak to the owner regarding your comments about the draught from the old front door. I look forward to welcoming you back again soon. A new mattress has been purchased for the property.
