    “Very disappointed with the unclean crockery and cutlery and dirty mugs, pans and dishes.”

    we had to wash up before we used any and the kitchen bowl was dirty. The property is in need of a dishwasher felt the washing machine was a waste for a rented property, we also felt the surfaces hadn't been cleaned or the floor for some time and found ice cream wrappers under sofa cushion and windows were in need of a deep clean. appreciate the age of the property but too many cobwebs for our liking. However, the beds and bathroom were fresh and adequate except one of the on-suites had a very impersonal toilet. we had a heavy downpour of rain and the upstairs bathroom roof window was leaking badly as was the shower door which was difficult to open and close. all the above sounds petty but for £1900 for the week it was not a fair or acceptable price to pay,

About the location

LYME REGIS

Charmouth 3 miles; Axminster 6 miles; Bridport 10 miles; Sidmouth 16 miles.

The delightful seaside town of Lyme Regis has much to offer its visitors, boasting a maze of narrow streets filled with craft and antique shops, galleries and cafes. Take a stroll along the world-famous Cobb causeway overlooking the ancient harbour, where fishing trips can be enjoyed, or try your hand at fossil hunting in the area. The scenic coastal path offers excellent walking opportunities and spectacular views of the stunning Jurassic coast, whilst the gently shelving sands and sparkling waters of Lyme Bay provide the perfect place in which to relax and unwind. A holiday destination to savour!
