“THis is a lovely house in a fantastic location.”
Close to Beach / Town and loads of places to eat. The house has very steep stairs up to 2nd and 3rd Floor, this was pointed out to us before we booked the house but just want to warn anyone they are very steep and narrow in places, not ideal for anyone who struggles on normal stairs. The house has to lounges one on ground floor and one on 2nd floor next to kitchen but you dont really have a comfortable sofa where you can all sit. In the ground floor lounge there is a Chaise Long that is comfy but the rest of the chairs/sofas are not. And on the 2nd floor lounge you have a L shaped sofa that you cant all sit together on. The Single Beds are super comfy but the Double Bed has a very hard mattress. Kitchen wise you have plenty of everything which we liked as some houses only give you enough for each person there to use once then you have to wash it all to be able to eat again, this house has plenty so you are not putting the dishwasher on only half full. (Could do with a potatoe masher). I would still recommend this house as its location wins over everything else.
Thank you for your positive comments regarding Waltham House, it’s location in Lyme Regis and the adequate amount of crockery / cutlery / etc for eight people. We do advise that the house is not entirely suitable for those with accessibility needs. Since the property is 17th century Grade 2 listed we are unable to change the stairways but we have added additional handrails to ensure safety. This has never been an issue with guests over the 30 years we have been letting it. The lounge on the ground floor comfortably seats 8 and the Dining Room on the first floor (next to the kitchen) seats at least eight around the large table. Additional furniture in this room would not be appropriate since it would prevent the bed settee from being folded out. The main bedroom with the a king sized bed has an expensive orthopaedic mattress with a foam topper as recommended. Most of the kitchen utensils (including the potato masher) , which are normally in the drawer, were in the stainless steel pot on the worktop by the hot plate. I’m sorry you weren’t able to locate it. I do hope that you had good weather on your visit to beautiful Dorset and will come again to Lyme.
