“The Nest was a comfortable base for our weekend stay in Lyme Regis.”

However if we were to stay any longer it would have been a bit squashed for 5 adults. Having said that the bedrooms were a reasonable size and the beds were comfortable, as well as the sofa bed. The shower was excellent. The extra toilet downstairs was very useful. As our stay was in October the use of the good heating system came into its own, easy to use and it warmed up the cottage quickly . As in all the holiday cottages we stay in, we do check for any escape routes for our little dog ...

As in all the holiday cottages we stay in, we do check for any escape routes for our little dog. The garden was secure and had wonderful views. However it could have done with some general maintenance with cutting back the plants. Overall we had a comfortable stay. The cottage was central for exploring Lyme Regis and the surrounding area.

“Absolutely loved the accommodation and the location (proximity to town and beach was perfect for us) I only scored you down for cleanliness as I found the stove top coffee pot was filled with old coffee and mould.”

(I love coffee and was delighted with the Dorset goodie bag including the local roasted ground coffee) - thankfully I found the cafetière, so all was happy in my world. What a gem. Kids delighted with the board game selection, especially cluedo. Sofa bed mattress was impressively comfy (usually they are very thin, so a big thumbs up for quality bedding!) I can’t wait to book again. Thankyou

We're so pleased that you enjoyed your holiday. Sorry to hear about the coffee pot, we will pass on your comments to the Housekeeper. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“We had a lovely stay at The Nest.”

It was perfectly situated in the town and nice and close to everything. The garden was perfect for our spaniel and nice and enclosed. Would definitely stay again. Thank you.

“Lovely traditional cottage with pretty garden, full of character, close to centre of town.”

Excellent welcome pack and holiday information folder. Clear instructions for key collection. Fab holiday in a beautiful part of the world.

“We have stayed in dog friendly cottages in Lyme for the past 8 summers and were looking forward to staying in The Nest which we had passed many times and were keen to stay there.”

We were so disappointed. The kitchen was nice and had good facilities. There was one two seater sofa in the living area so the floor was an option as there were more than two of us but it stank of dog wee. The bathroom had mould on the ceiling, the blind was broken and the amount of dust on the mirrors was extraordinary. There seemed to be a damp problem through most of the cottage. The snug was fine but the cleaners seemed to have left IKEA bags out. The two single beds were the most uncomfortable beds that we have ever encountered. They were dreadful, you could feel the metal springs sticking into you as you lay there. Not much sleep was had as they were so bad. The only storage cupboard was mostly taken up with spare bedding. The double bed was ok but underneath it was full of IKEA bags, not very pretty. The garden could be lovely, it had great views, but it was overgrown. The grass can’t have been cut for a long time and there were piles of fresh dog

- Jocasta, August 2023

We are sorry to hear of your experience. The IKEA bags are used to store spare linen and consumables, and are usually kept in a cupboard or underneath a bed so as not to intrude on people's stay. We will look into your points raised about the garden with the gardener and comfort of the beds. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“We arrived at the Nest and the first thing we had to do was clean the fridge and empty the dishwasher which was not ideal.”

There was no instruction manual and the Internet wasn’t working. We had to spend half of the next day getting the Internet fixed. The cottage was very comfortable and in a great location. You just need to cross the park and you are down at the seaside. It is also very close to all the shops and the High Street. The cottage garden was lovely to sit in when the Sun was out. We were able to take our dog which was great. The cottage was very comfortable and the bathroom was very big and everything worked to perfection. It was a shame that the cleanliness and maintenance llet it down.

- Jenny, July 2023

We're so sorry to hear that the property wasn't prepared to our usual standards of cleanliness. As with the maintenance issue, we have access to a team of housekeepers and will happily attend to put things right for you as we would not expect you to spend precious holiday time cleaning. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your stay. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“Lovely cottage that has been very well modernised.”

The decor is tasteful. Very comfortable beds. Only downside is having to carry bags etc from main road.

“The garden needs to be worked through again”

Bea June 2022

“Beautiful cottage well equipped.”

The sofa bed was very uncomfortable, it would have been okay for a child I suspect but we didn't want the children on a different floor to us.... But if you're not using the sofa bed, it's not a problem. Great location and lovely cottage with what feels like a secret garden.

- Bea, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at the property. The sofa bed has been replaced with The Times' 'most comfortable sofa bed' for our guests to enjoy. We hope to welcome you back another time. Property Owner
