“The property is lovely, comfortable and very well equipped (though it could do with a BBQ and a freezer).”
We really appreciated the speed with which the local Lyme Bay holidays team addressed the issues with the en suite door and the shower in the main bathroom (wobbly loo seats remained outstanding).
The only downsides from our perspective was the location and the levels on the outside space. I know this is down to the lay of the land so can't be helped, but the steps in/out of the property and around the garden are huge and the listing really should state this so that customers know it's not very elderly or child friendly before they book.
The fact that there is no pavement on the road should also be mentioned as this makes walking to and from the town a health and safety risk for young and old as road users are not very pedestrian friendly! The listing also states that it’s ~0.5 m from shops, which is likely true BUT it doesn't mention that the walk to and from those shops involves an extremely steep hill, so again if your party contains young or old members be prepared to be driving back & forth into town to drop off or pick up as walking up the hill is likely not an option!
Finally, again I know there is nothing you can do about this but the house is very close to a noisy road, and the noise is very invasive if you're not used to living by a road. The master bedroom faces the road and its very noisy with the window open when the traffic starts from 6am so again I think this is something potential customers need to know.
In summary - it is a lovely property, well laid out, decorated and equipped but on balance I would only recommend for fit or able adults only, not for older customers or families with small children.
