“Positives: great location, large garden, comfy beds, clean and tidy.”

Negatives: in major need of a maintenance overhaul with garden in need of a good tidy and trim, windows and doors difficult to open, handles falling off wardrobe, shower head needing descale and shower pole falling down, one saggy sofa, broken and dirty garden furniture, no cupboard space in kitchen to put any food, and no information pack with details on how anything works i.e. hob, oven, Wi-Fi password, etc. In general, the place needs a bit of TLC.

Also, when we arrived one bedroom was set up as a twin which we hadn’t requested and couldn’t get hold of anyone on the contact numbers provided. Ended up ringing the emergency number and issue was quickly resolved.

“Grange villas is in a fantastic location within a few minutes walk to a few pubs, the chippy a Nisa shop and a bakery.”

Has a lovely big back garden that gets the sun all day and is not over looked. Every room has been provided with a floor fan which was needed as we reached temperatures of 30 degrees during our stay. We was welcomed with a gift bag with lovely local coffee, tea, biscuits and a fresh bottle of milk in the fridge, all very thoughtful!!! The house is fantastic, very spacious. Huge bed in the main bedroom and so comfortable. It's was spotless. 2 showers and 2 toilets so nobody is waiting. It had everything we needed for our stay. Lots of card and board games and an xbox 360 so plenty to do if you just want to chill out. We had the best time here and enjoyed every moment.

“We picked the property based on location and the garden which were both great, however it lacked an information pack so we were not sure what to do with the bins or how to use the cooker hob as there were no instructions.”

General maintenance was lacking the shower heads were in poor condition and the windows were very old some of which you could not lock same as the patio doors which had a key in them which done nothing so we were worried about security. There is a lot of moss on the roof which ends up on your car in the morning after the huge seagulls have had their morning fight. If this property had a refurb it could be great, location, size and off road parking are hard to come by and it has it all.

“Wonderful home, quiet location and spacious garden.”

We had a great week here and enjoyed many days on Charmouth beach (10-15min walk from house). The village itself has two pubs, convenience store, delicious bakery, fish and chips take away (excellent) and lovely coffee shop for breakfast and lunches. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you’ll need to self cater. We loved it! The kids loved all the games in the cupboard and we watched the DVDs on the Xbox too!! All in all a great place for a family to stay. Maintenance wise: back door doesn’t lock fully, shower screens need re-sealing and the shower heads need a descale so would work better (although water pressure quite light). Thank you for a fabulous stay!

We were very comfortable but a couple of points - the kitchen hob needs an instruction manual as it took a while to work out how to use it and the exterior of the house looks very shabby and is in need of painting - but we were generally very pleased with our stay

“Great roomy space with large rooms for plenty of people.”

Warm and homely. Beds are very comfortable. Garden kept well. Good access to the beach, local shops and pubs. On the less positive side - some areas need a little attention, a paint / spruce up. Hob wasn't the easiest to navigate and no instructions to be found.

“It was a lovely welcoming home with lovely local treats left for us.”

We love Charmouth and its Fossell Beech and museum. The local facilities perfect. The house and garden with outdoor eating area was lovely. The bed and bedding was clean and comfortable. The lounge lovely with patio doors and nice dining room. We would come again. The negatives ŵere the hob - No instructions and time consuming, and not enough large cooking quiche type dishes. Regards Pamela.

“We loved the house.”

It was very comfortable and well located for the beach, the local shops and pubs. The garden is big bonus. The plumbing could do with some maintenance as the bathroom sinks had great difficulty draining. The paintwork on the stairs is quite grubby and could do with a lick of paint. Equipment is very good and we appreciated the fans in the bedrooms. Overall and excellent holiday home. We'd love to visit again. ❤️

“The house was very clean and comfortable and there was a very nice welcome pack but the property needs a general 'spruce up'.”

- The banisters and skirting boards on the stairs need a lick of paint, - One of the bedrooms needs a lick of paint - The outside door needs a lick of paint - A number of the windows would not open - The shower over the bath in the upstairs bathroom leaked a lot - The toilet seats did not fit the toilets properly, they were a bit small and uncomfortable. - The door to the garden was very difficult to unlock - The garden furniture needs a good clean

“I had an issue half way through my stay.”

Tried your local number, but it referred me to the Chester number. Phoned that, but it rang for 10 mins and I gave up. Sorted the issue. Had it been a true, true emergency I would have been stuck. Possible enough to put me off renting from you again.

“Slight issue with cleanliness - one toilet had poo in it.”

The zip link bed that was supposed to be linked wasn't, it was a twin and downstaires shower head needs fixing properly. Other than that it was all fine. I've stayed in this house several times and probably will again. There was an issue with broken TV aerial, which once reported was fixed the same day. Prompt, friendly repair work. My gripe is with Sykes web page. They make it deliberately difficult to get that initial contact. When this was Lyme Bay company it was much easier and more personal service. Overall this is not a bad house to stay in, location is great there are just a few niggles creeping in since Sykes took over.

- Anna, November 2023

We are so sorry to hear that cleanliness standards were not met on this occasion. We still have the local office in Lyme with a team who are happy to attend to any maintenance or cleaning issues during your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back again! The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“Lack / poor maintenance internally , mainly around the windows.”

Entrance porch would be better off with a mat filling the whole space especially due to the wet conditions.

“Great holiday and location, just a few niggles.”

Like others have stated a little tired, not obvious at first. Outside light, where steps to patio are, not working can't use garden in evening in September. Wife used washing machine once and there is a slight leak from somewhere? Good job tiled floor underneath! TV was the most limited I,ve ever come across plus other places we have been with gaming consoles have separate TV. Garden furniture needs a tad of upkeep. Downstairs shower head holder has worn out, slides down and won't hold it up. Kitchen door when opened is fine from inside, but if closed can not come in from outside. Patio door stiff, a bit difficult for my petite wife to open. Would I stay again, hell yeah just like home only I don't pay over a grand a week for the privilege.

- Christopher, September 2023

We have now attended and replaced the bulb to the external light and have contacted the owner regarding the showers. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“Very comfortable house.”

We were 3 adults and 2 children so 2,bathrooms very useful. Kitchen well equipped and goodies bag very acceptable. House in easy reach of beach , cafe and pub plus short journey to Lyme . We would recommend to friends. ( Clothes airer would be handy).

“We had a great overall stay here - the location in Charmouth was fabulous and we enjoyed the spacious and clean accommodation with our 3 young children.”

However, the house is very tired and doesn't match the pictures on the website, which were evidently taken a good number of years ago.

“Lots of maintenance and cleaning issues which should have been addressed prior to our stay.”

1. Leaking shower screen upstairs causing huge puddles 2. Downstairs shower head tied up with string 3 both shower heads need descaling as blocked and poor water flow 4. Loft hatch not secure and very dangerous as suddenly dropped down almost hitting someone on the head 5. Window safety catch broken in children's bedroom 6. Broken plug in upstairs bathroom 7. Dishwasher not draining and unusable 8. Huge amount of black mould on all windows 9. Garden furniture unusable as not been cleaned after the winter 10. Garden bench broken 11. Both toilets not clean on arrival 12. Food waste bin not been emptied for a long time and full of mould so we could not use it. All this long list is completely unacceptable and given how much we paid we are disappointed and would not return or recommend.
