“We really loved the property which is very spacious and comfortable.”

It might be good if a few condiments could be left in the kitchen and we missed the goody bag and milk normally provided by Lyme Bay holidays.

“Started badly with an extremely rude conversation in Lyme Bay office.”

Also told the electric garage door not working! I’m disabled and lifting it manually was a great strain. The accommodation was excellent. Spacious, beautifully furnished and great having the sliding window, decking, sea view and a beautiful banana tree. Wi-Fi would have been nice as would a welcome pack, to save having to go shopping for essentials after a long drive. I think a washing machine is essential, far more than dish washer - most holiday makers usually eat out

We are sorry to hear that our customer services were not up to our expectations upon your arrival. Unfortunately the electrics to the garage door had failed and we were waiting for the repair specialist visit, apologies the issue wasn't resolved during your stay. We have made the owner aware of your comments regarding the washing machine and welcome pack provision. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“We found the cottage through Vrbo and in the description it clearly says "WiFi, fuel, power, bed linen and towels are all included in the price.”

" It said this on 15 August and I have a dated screen shot to prove it. It is not accurate. There was no WiFi and one of the guests was unable to attend the holiday because of this. I wonder what would be the outcome if the description said "swimming pool" and there was not one. We spoke to Paul at Sykes cottages who called the Lyme Regis office and said the description had been corrected on the 5 May. That is economical with the truth. It was inaccurate on Vrbo on 15 August. We asked Paul to send a list of local cafes and pubs with Wifi. He simply sent a list of some local establishments. We asked again as we wanted a list of establishments WITH WiFi. Paul never replied. Disappointing in the extreme and falling short of honesty, A copy of this feedback has been sent to the CEOs of Vrbo and Sykes Cottages.

- Carol, August 2023

We are sorry to hear of your experience and have raised a case file on your behalf to ensure that the matter is looked into. The owner has never offered WIFI, and this has been clearly marketed on the Lyme Bay Holidays and Sykes websites. We have referred the listing on VRBO to our partners team. The owner is still awaiting an installation date for WIFI. We hope you enjoyed the property and your time in Lyme Regis. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“Lovely appartment, really clean and comfortable.”

Beautiful view of the Lyme bay and a short walk into town. We had a lovely holiday with great weather.

Thank you for your kind comments. We're so pleased that you enjoyed your stay. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

The property

Located in the centre of the coastal town of Lyme Regis, The Old Garage is an intriguing, two bedroom apartment offering wonderful views of the coastline and sea from the lounge and garden. Formerly a historic garage for a large house and housing one of Lyme Regis' first motor cars, the property's original character has been preserved. The modern and contemporary accommodation has everything desired for a wonderful seaside holiday. Arranged on one level, the property has been refurbished and furnished to a very high standard. The lounge is a great space with comfortable seating where you can sit back in front of the Smart TV or sit and take in the far-reaching coastal views. A fantastic feature of the apartment is the imposing, 4 metre (13 foot) sliding doors which close into the cavity, leaving the lounge opening completely onto the decked garden. The kitchen is bright, well equipped and a great social space with dining table within the centre of the home. The large decked garden area, which takes advantage of the views, is partially covered, ideal for dining 'alfresco'. Sleeping up to four guests, the property has two bedrooms – a kingsize bedroom with ensuite shower room, overlooking the garden and a twin bedroom. The family bathroom has a bath with shower over. Enjoying garage parking for one car, this is a perfect property for couples or small families looking for an excellent holiday home on this wonderful part of the World Heritage coastline. Lyme Regis town centre can be reached within minutes with an array of independent shops, eateries and attractions. The family friendly beach is the perfect spot for a swim or enjoying some of the water sports on offer, with boat trips available from the famous Cobb harbour. The towns museums showcase the areas association with fossil hunting or why not try to spot your own ammonite on the beaches. The South West Coastal Footpath offers visitors a scenic way to enjoy the coast and takes in sites including Golden Cap as well as the seaside villages of Charmouth, Branscombe and Beer. Other family days out include the donkey sanctuary near Sidmouth or hop upon the tram at Seaton for a ride to Colyton travelling alongside the River Axe estuary through two nature reserves and giving an unrivalled view of the abundant wading bird life. With so much to see and do, a holiday at the Old Garage will be one to remember. Please note: There is a drop of approximately 4ft from the decking garden down to a gravel area at the end of the garden. It is loosely rope fenced off but supervision will be required of younger children. A maximum of two dogs are accepted. Please note that this property does not currently have wifi.
