    “The accommodation is nice, excellent position in town.”

    However, listed as sleeping 4, you can only seat 2 normally sized humans on the sofa. If, as in our case, the 3rd person has to sit on either the floor or a dining room chair to watch television with the group. There are TVs in the bedrooms. There are no appliance instructions in the property, and you need a degree in computer science to work the oven. We downloaded the instructions, but even with those it was temperamental.

    However, listed as sleeping 4, you can only seat 2 normally sized humans on the sofa. If, as in our case, the 3rd person has to sit on either the floor or a dining room chair to watch television with the group. There are TVs in the bedrooms. There are no appliance instructions in the property, and you need a degree in computer science to work the oven. We downloaded the instructions, but even with those it was temperamental. It took 2 hours to cook oven chips at allegedly 200°C. Cooking anything on the hob set the smoke detector off; you didn’t need to burn anything. There is a window above the hob, but it is too high to reach to open. If you open the window in the kitchen/lounge prior to cooking, the smoke detector doesn’t go off, but in February that was a bit chilly. It’s a lovely quiet apartment for 2 people, but too small for anymore. If you don’t want to cook, it’s ideally situated for town and eateries.

    Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your stay. We’re pleased to hear you enjoyed the apartment and its excellent central location in Lyme Regis. As a historic period property right in the heart of town, Drake’s Hideaway is compact by nature, which we aim to reflect clearly in both our listing and our very competitive pricing. While it is advertised as sleeping four, we understand your comments regarding the living area seating and appreciate how this may have impacted your stay. We have received some similar feedback and are currently exploring alternative sofa options and possible layout changes. Regarding the appliances, the instruction manuals should have been located in the small storage cupboard to the left of the kitchen. We recognise this could have been made clearer and will ensure this is better highlighted going forward. While we haven’t previously received negative feedback on the appliances, we appreciate you sharing your experience and will review the points raised, including ventilation guidance when cooking. Drake’s Hideaway is particularly popular with guests looking for a quiet, characterful base in a prime location, offering excellent value for money when considering the central setting, period charm, and proximity to Lyme Regis’ many eateries and attractions. Thank you again for your feedback, which helps us continue to improve, and we do hope you enjoyed your time exploring Lyme Regis. Kind regards, Your hosts at Drake’s Hideaway Property Owner
