“The house is exactly as shown with easy parking and a lovely garden which is a sun trap.”
The bedrooms were large and facilities all in good working order. We loved the eco washing machine & the blackout blinds were really useful. It would have been nice to have an outside washing line or pegs to hold clothes onto the airer so we could pop it outside rather than having to put on the heating to dry clothes, although having 2 thermostats meant we could heat only where needed. The huge TV was great but the sofas weren't very comfy. Appreciate this is personal preference but the leather is slippery and as vegetarians, we didn't find it very nice. The biggest issue was the lack of cloths to clean with (the one provided we used for dishes so couldn't use it for household cleaning). It was unfortunate the one bottle of toilet cleaner turned out to be empty. Also the dishwasher tablets were terrible and left a white residue on all the pots which we had to rewash by hand every time. We fully endorse the eco lifestyle but the extra water consumption of rewashing probably makes these tablets not worthwhile. We also struggled to cook / reheat food in the microwave due to the lack of suitable plastic ware and lidded containers to keep leftovers stored. I should end by saying how much we enjoyed our stay and this is a great base for exploring the area. The local walks were too challenging for us but I recommend the walk to Uplyme from the end of the road (then along the river path into Lyme Regis). We really missed all the usual information leaflets provided in such properties especially as my mum doesn't access the internet, but understand why these were removed.
