“Fantastic house in central Lyme Regis - easily the best equipped and appointed holiday rental we have ever had with comfy beds four great bathrooms and every piece of kitchen equipment you could possibly need.”

Very close to all the lovely restaurants in Lyme and would highly recommend the Harbour inn, Town bakery and Millside all of which had fab food and great friendly service. We loved Mermaid house and will definitely be back!

“As ever a wonderful stay.”

The redecoration and new oven have really brought Mermaid House back to 5 stars. Excellent response from maintenance when the smoke alarm failed, deafening us and the town when it wouldn't stop going off. Perfect for a large family gathering

- Joanne, September 2023

The owner takes great pride in maintaining the property, so it's lovely to hear that the efforts are appreciated by a return guest. We are sorry about the issue with the smoke alarms, and are glad our team could assist you! The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“Dear Lyme Bay, I just wanted to report the following re our property (Mermaid House).”

1. The door handle on the upstairs rear bedroom is very loose and kept coming off. 2. The fridge / freezer was faulty and kept spontaneously defrosting then re-frosting. 3. The WiFi did not work properly. 4. The boiler kept breaking down but this was eventually fixed by one of your plumbers. It is a shame that this property let us down in so many ways, at £3,000 for a week you would expect everything to be in good working order. We are very longstanding customers but will now think twice before booking again with Lyme Bay Holidays. Regards, George Scott

- George, August 2023

Mermaid House is a very popular property as it accommodates a large family group. We are sorry to hear about the issues you experienced with the boiler, and hope that we were able to resolve this during your stay. We have organised for our team to investigate the other issues raised. It is unfortunate that you experienced a few issues during your stay, and we do hope that you will stay with us again in the future. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“Loved the house and it’s location.”

Perfect for a beach holiday with the family. Everything within easy reach. Sofas in the sitting room were well worn, a bit low, saggy and uncomfortable otherwise furnishings were of a good standard. Could have done with a few more toilet rolls! There were 9 of us staying for a week so soon ran out!

- Alison, August 2023

It's great to hear that your family enjoyed your holiday at Mermaid House. We will take a look at the sofas that you have mentioned as being saggy. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“Excellent house that was very clean and well equipped and in a brilliant location.”

Everything we needed for a lovely weekend break for an adult group. Couple of things to note for the owner- A couple of the lightbulbs did not work and the shower in the very top bathroom kept going hot and cold

“Lyme Bay staff excellent as always.”

Mermaid house in good condition, recent painting obvious. As ever location is the strongpoint. Problem with central heating boiler - it won't stop! Plenty of hot water and heating not needed but boiler ran continuously, noisy in groung floor bedroom. Only way to stop it was to turn it off at the boiler itself. I think it needs the contols resetting but no instructions so we didn't touch it.
