“We enjoyed our stay in this compact and comfortable flat.”

It was just right for two people, but might be a squeeze for more. The views are really lovely over Lyme and the sea. Thank you so much for the welcome pack with local goodies and the pint of milk in the fridge. Much appreciated. As it was peak holiday season we chose to walk down the hill to the shops and beach, which was great as it is only 15 minutes and no parking worries. Returning uphill to the flat took a bit longer as the last part is very steep. (There is a bus although we didn’t use ...

It was just right for two people, but might be a squeeze for more. The views are really lovely over Lyme and the sea. Thank you so much for the welcome pack with local goodies and the pint of milk in the fridge. Much appreciated. As it was peak holiday season we chose to walk down the hill to the shops and beach, which was great as it is only 15 minutes and no parking worries. Returning uphill to the flat took a bit longer as the last part is very steep. (There is a bus although we didn’t use it.) The flat is rated with three ticks, which is about right for the standard of decor and amenities. Improvements could be made to the bathroom as the loo seat is too small for the pedestal and the rubber seal on the bottom of the shower screen is discoloured. These were minor issues and we found the flat clean overall. We had no problems with noise from seagulls although we did lose an ice cream cone to a seagull when walking on the front! Comfy flat and a great location.

“The apartment is on a steep hill into town which would be an issue for some people but benefits from having on site parking and a sea view from the living room and balcony.”

The parking space is not clearly marked. We found the facilities and maintenance very disappointing - the apartment was not very clean, decoration was in need of updating, the beds were not very comfortable (double bed is very small), the fridge not very efficient at keeping food fresh and the balcony has weeds and rusty rails so not a pleasant area to sit out on. The block of 6 flats was not much occupied which was good as they are not very well soundproofed and have signs to that effect inside the apartment. It is in a very quiet location apart from the seagulls who live on top of the roof and make a noise 24 hours a day! We enjoyed our time in the town but unfortunately would not recommend this as a good holiday let - having spent five months on the road in various places this was the most disappointing of our accommodations.

- Nicholas, May 2024

I’m sorry you were disappointed with your stay. This is in contrast to many previous very positive reviews. This property is fully managed by the holiday company, including the cleaning , and they are available to respond to you if you arrive and find that things are not as they should be. The details on the website clearly describe the location of the flat and the bed sizes and facilities available. The presence of seagulls is to be expected in seaside towns. Property Owner

“My Auntie and I found the apartment very cosy and clean.”

It was very comfortable for the two of us. The view from the lounge window looking across Lyme bay was wonderful. We would certainly stay again.

“We found everything we needed in the apartment.”

Views were excellent and neighbours were friendly. I would not recommend this for 4 adults but fine for a family of 3-4.

“This was our second stay here and my daughter & I really love the apartment, location & views.”

It was noted that the clock wasn’t working, it didn’t when we last stayed & other than referring to our phones there was no other clock in the property which we feel was needed. The shower temperature control (the right hand side) is extremely difficult to turn to regulate the temperature, but thanks to my trade I was able to realise the problem & just about turn the control to adjust the temperature, which had been left at a very hot (maximum) setting. This issue ideally needs addressing .The only other thing we feel that should be supplied is a hair dryer, or making it clear on the facilities list that there isn’t one. Most holiday properties do supply one. However, these are only minor issues easily rectified & did not detract from another enjoyable stay, & most certainly will not prevent us from booking our next Lyme Regis in this apartment. Thank you.

Hi Andrew, thank you for your feedback, it's really nice to hear how much you enjoy staying at the flat. It is let on a fully managed service by Lyme Bay Holidays, and they are committed to helping with any issue at the time of your stay, but I have picked your points up with them now. The shower has been a problem for a while, on and off, and I have asked Lyme Bay Holidays to sort it out a few times. I can confirm that I have now had a new shower temperature regulator T bar fitted on the shower, so this should no longer be a problem. Sorry about the clock - I have been meaning to get it replaced for a while. There is a hairdryer provided, in one of the drawers. I will arrange for a replacement to be provided if it has been removed by someone. I sincerely hope you enjoy another stay, and if there is anything missing at the time of your stay please do not hesitate to contact LBH at the time to rectify it. Many thanks. Property Owner

“Myself and my family had a lovely stay in this beautiful little apartment.”

Stunning views from the balcony of Lyme Regis. The apartment was comfortable and had everything we needed. A nice little welcome bag was left for our arrival with tea coffee and some local fudge and nice biscuits a pint of milk in the fridge and cleaning essentials. Very peaceful here. Would recommend

“The listing states 2 car spaces but upon our arrival we were immediately met by a resident who told us we must park park on the sloping drive up to the car park against the wall shown by newly painted numbers for 1 car.”

The main car park was empty all week except for his van and had no markings The flat is advertised to accommodate 4 but the dining table and chairs is folded in the corner but there is no space to put it. There are 2 stools for the breakfast bar and 2 chairs for the balcony. Very limited clothes storage, small wardrobe in main bedroom but no drawers and some drawers in 2nd bedroom too close to the bed for access and no wardrobe. General cleanliness ok but balcony and windows dirty. Living room carpet needs cleaning. Shower not great and difficult to alter temperature if too hot and the bath needs better support as it flexes when stood in. On a positive note the view was fabulous and the weather excellent so we were out most of the time. Would definitely return to Lyme Regis.

- David, July 2022

Thank you for your feedback, and I am sorry you were not satisfied with your stay here. There are two car parking spaces allocated for this flat, both of which are alongside the low brick wall opposite the front doors. The windows are cleaned regularly, but as with all properties that face the sea, they are subject to a daily dose of salty air, which very quickly collects on the windows outside. There are additional stools in the cupboard, and there is space for the dining table to be opened easily for use. The shower has recently become sticky and is in the process of being replaced.
