“We had a lovely holiday at this cottage.”

It was well equipped, the bed was very comfortable, ample wardrobe and chest of drawers storage, comfortable sofas, no problem at all with the hot water, as mentioned by other visitors, it was good and hot. The only thing i could find fault with, was the garden fences, which had some wood panels missing which meant our dog ran into next doors garden, as i did not realise this at first, otherwise, It was a nice little garden.

The only thing i could find fault with, was the garden fences, which had some wood panels missing which meant our dog ran into next doors garden, as i did not realise this at first, otherwise, It was a nice little garden. The woods and field right opposite the cottage were a real bonus, our dog really enjoyed a walk and run there each day. Also the costal path to walk to Charmouth from the site was lovely too. In all we had a lovely time, great weather too.

“The location was fine, with a park to walk around ,picturesque ponds etc and walking trials to Charmouth and Lyme Regis.”

a lovely outdoor pool in the nearby hotel. the cottage was very clean and light. The facilities could do with some maintaince, especially the lack of hot water, intermittent wi-fi, and TV reception, but as it was very reasonably priced and gorgeous weather the positives outweighed the fixable problems. A good quality welcoming pack.

“A clean and light cottage in a lovely location with 30 acres of woods and ponds to explore, good bus and road links.”

The nearby hotel swimming pool is great, virtually had it to ourselves. , Kitchen is well appointed , there is a table out the back garden for outdoor eating and drying clothes . However the water was luke warm, i gather a continuing problem , TV aerial needs fixing and the internet intermittent. If these problems are sorted i would fully recommend the accomadation.

“Lovely clean property in a beautiful and quiet area comfy beds and enough hot water for 4 shower/baths everynight.”

Ample parking. Make sure you take a trip down the track opposite the house as a bit of a secret garden which is kept mowed for walkers and dogs Highly recommend.

“Kleines Reihenhaus mit ausreichende Ausstettung, etwas in den Jahren gekommen.”

Für uns, zwei Männer und zum Essen zwei Gästen,war es Groß genug.Licht im Essbereich und Bad unzureichend. Wir waren gut zufrieden und haben uns die schöne, rühige Lage genossen.

“Lovely site and grounds.”

House was comfortable, apart from no hot water. Having your 80 year old mother taking cold showers in October is not ideal. Sykes were useless and really didn’t care.

The front door really not welcoming, strong dog smell, kitchen very dated, soggy mat in washing machine, bedrooms dated, no hot water on 4 of the 7 days, back door difficult to open, curtains and blinds really need replacing, there was clean bedding and towels, and a nice welcome pack, the bed was comfortable , would we go again, no we wouldn't

“Tired looking property, could do with being refreshed.”

Back door sticking and difficult to open. The cleanliness overall was good but the dishwasher was full of dirty dishes and cutlery, which had been in there for a while, as the dishes were mouldy, took two washes too clean and still we had to wash some items by hand. There were towels still in the washing machine. Still enjoyed our stay, with a lovely quiet location.

“Wonderful situation and very good value for money.”

The back garden is slightly neglected and we were three days without hot water. Once the office opened on the Tuesday after the Bank Holiday Monday, the hot water problem was quickly solved and staff were helpful.

“Lovely place ideal location for Charmouth/Lyme Regis Set back behind hotel, hard to find as sat nav takes you further down, but we did find it eventually Nice welcome pack left Easy access with key lock, we arrived later in evening so was good for us Downsides Garden fences could be repaired esp if traveling with dogs.”

Would be nice for a couple chairs to sit out back Beforehand contacted company no replies to messages -poor communication by them Could do with instructions re water as hot water was on a setting but wasn't explained so couldn't get hot water. Had to ask for maintenance to come out.

“Loved our stay here.”

It was spacious, warm and comfortable. Well equipped and perfectly located. We walked into Charmouth along the coast path a couple of times and it was a lovely walk. Bag of treats on arrival was nice and there were some lovely things in there, thank you. Definitely would stay again Pool was absolutely freezing as expected with it being outside. Points of note: Garden could do with some maintenance, the paving slabs were loose on the different levels so wobbly if you stood on them. I also was a bit frustrated that I had to make the beds when I got there and the bedding was just dumped in a bag in the room. Rest of the property was clean but I had had a long drive and didn't really want to have to set up all the beds before we could use them.

“Despite a previous review there is a lovely seating area behind and there is sunshine during the middle of the day.”

Evening sunshine can be had by sitting out at the front. Since only a very few people live in the row it is quite peaceful enough to enjoy a book and glass of wine at the end of the day. Maintenance of the communal areas is good. parking is close by. Extremely peaceful and quiet yet handy for Lyme or Charmouth, although we usually used the car there is a bus stop at the end of the hotel drive. Having the hotel nearby for dining and/or swimming is handy (though we did neither). We really enjoyed our stay. Thankyou for the welcome goody bag. Lovely dorset products and good to make that early cuppa after a fairly long and busy journey.

“Front door could do with a lick of paint and towel rail in bathroom needs fixing to wall, but just superficial things.”

Lovely location, situated halfway between Lyme Regis and Charmouth, just a quick 2 minute drive. We loved it. Welcome pack was a really nice touch.

“Perfect weekend stay for us, with our grandsons and dog.”

In a lovely, quiet setting, the property was very clean, well equipped and comfortable. Safe open spaces outdoors, and convenient for local attractions. The double bed mattress was a little soft for us, but the boys slept really well in their beds! We will definately consider staying again in the future.

“Overall we were very pleased with our stay.”

With lots of walks on the doorstep for either Charmouth or Lyme Regis, the location was perfect and we would happily stay again. The welcome bag was a pleasant surprise and very much appreciated. The only reason we have not given 5 stars is due to the beds, as one of the single beds had a base that was starting to collapse. It was still sturdy enough for one of the kids as they are only little and don't weigh much but would not be suitable for an older child/adult. Despite this, we were extremely happy and have already recommended this place to friends.

“I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here.”

Admittedly, I was a little concerned at the front door which really needs repainting, but once I was inside I was very happy with it. It was comfortable & warm. I was particularly pleased that a pint of milk had been left in the fridge so that at least o could make a cup of tea. We had a minor issue with the water supply, but someone came round to sort it out within 1 hour. The beds were comfortable, the bathroom & kitchen were clean. The kitchen included a fridge freezer, a microwave oven, a washing machine, coffee machine and a dishwasher. Plenty of crockery, cutlery, pans, & cooking tools. I was very delighted with the little bag containing tea, coffee, biscuits, flapjacks & fudge. I would definitely use Sykes Cottages again.

“Excellent location.”

Coaster bus useful at the end of the drive. Could not fault the comfort and cleanliness.The kitchen was very well equipped. The dishwasher a bonus.However the outside seating area was a disappointment and the kitchen was very dark and uninviting. The welcome pack was a much appreciated surprise. We would recommend the property as long as visitors were not expecting a pleasant outside space to sit and enjoy breakfast or just relax.

“I wouldn't have booked this accommodation if I had known the drinking water was not safe.”

The washing machine/dryer did not work properly and made it impossible to dry clothes which when you are by a beach is something which is necessary. In fact all of the appliances were dated and old

- Sally A, July 2023

The drinking water is safe to drink, but as it's a private water source, the advice is that it may be preferable to boiler water before use but it's not essential. We will take a look at the appliances accordingly. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“Really enjoyed our week away.”

Perfectly located between Lyme and Charnmouth. Very little amenities local to accommodation. The cottage was clean and tidy but could do with a bit of love though with regards to curtains and blinds and the area at the front of the property (garden) and the garden at the back. Made it unattractive in comparison to other holiday homes. We had an issue with no hot water but as soon. As we called out of hours someone arrived to fix the problem immediately. A nice and tranquil stay for 2 adults and 2 children.

“A very comfortable cottage set in a quiet area.”

Good access to all road routes. The cottage was furnished to a good quality and very good welcome pack. Myself and 2 grandchildren enjoyed our stay and would certainly return to this cottage.
