“Comfortable with great position.”

An outside light to aid with keypad in winter would be helpful.

“Having stayed at Starfish now 3x I really enjoy the location and peaceful atmosphere at the time of year as well as the comfortable surroundings of the property.”

My only complaint would be the check out time of 10.00am on a day that is still holiday, not allowing enough time for relaxing packing and a comfortable breakfast

“Fantastic position and quality of flat.”

Our only small concerns.... Most kitchens have basics of salt, pepper, a little sugar. The cafetiere is broken - we thought we'd fixed it, but it didn't last. The rugs feel hazardous, we moved them out the way - rug grips help? The office did not know about 3/7-day permits for parking, which we did find in Woodmead. Expensive, but better for us than running up the hill by 8am each morning.

“We have stayed in one of these bay apartments before, but Starfish far surpassed the other.”

After reading a previous review about cleanliness I was concerned, but it was spotless so I expect the owners had acted on the previous comments. Thank you. My 92 year old mom and I (with mobility issues) managed the stairs no problem. The views are outstanding and mom spent a lot of time in the window seat. It is Well stocked and the treats on arrival were lovely and very useful. The clean spacious bathroom with a large step in shower made life easier for us. We had a great stay despite unpredictable weather. One negative feedback I do wish rentals would always used a thick moisture proof pillow protector which are changed between clients. This would reduce the infection risk as a single pillow case is not a suitable protection for infection particularly with flu and covid around.

“Hi all Absolutely perfect location and the most amazing views.”

We love the goody bag, very thoughtful, however wanted to add a bit of constructive criticism : It would have been nice to have a cafetière in the property to use the coffee. -We realise its high season, however I would expect high standards when paying £750 for 2 nights,:so when a few basics were not met we left disappointed: -No shower gel, body gel? -The apartment is particularly dusty/ dirty especially around the window seating, kitchen cuboards etc. the place really does need a good deep clean/ vacuum -when we arrived , we found rubbish on the toilet floor, including dental floss/mini flosser, toilet holder ( see pic) Thanks

Thank you for your comments, we're pleased to hear that you enjoyed the views offered from the apartment. We have passed on your comments regarding cleanliness to our Housekeeping Team for review, and are sorry to hear that you did not find it to our normal standards. We do not provide personal consumables for guests, but do provide a starter supply of toilet rolls, bin bags, hand soaps, washing-up liquid, cloths. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“Our stay at the Starfish was very enjoyable from start to finish.”

The apartment was well furnished, kitchen was well equipped, comfortable and clean and in a fabulous position on the Marine Parade with spectacular sea and coastal views which could be seen from the bay window seat. It's very well positioned for the bars, restaurants and shops as well- we will be returning! Maybe a broader range of programmes on the TV? Sometimes you just want to stay in in the evening after a long full day of being out and about and settle down. Parking was a bit of a challenge but once we had found the car park and sorted the parking out with a seven day permit it was fine. However, the car parks are a bit of a walk away and up hill but this does keep you fit

“This is our second stay in this group of flats.”

It’s in a stunning location with fabulous views out to sea. The flat had good facilities and was spotlessly clean. It was good to have milk, tea and coffee there for us. The bed and sofa were comfortable. It was straightforward to unload the car very close to the flats and then move it to a long stay car park 10 or 15 minutes walk away. The only snag - and it was an issue for us - was that the wifi was often poor quality, particularly in the evening. It seems that this is shared with other flats as there was no router. There was a booster in the flat which we were able to reboot and this did help occasionally. On a very minor note, the filters on the cafetière were loose and could not be tightened - so unusable.

- Catherine, May 2023

We're pleased to welcome you back! Thank you for the feedback about the cafetiere - we will look into this. The owner recently provided the WIFI extenders as a means of helping with the signal within the apartment. Unfortunately WIFI can not be guaranteed, and the number of users at a time can impact on the speed. We hope this didn't spoil your stay too much. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“Delightful to find the little sachet of goodies upon arrival — after a long day of travel!”

Beautiful location right on the ocean. We also enjoyed our fist dinner at Tom’s. Thanks for being so accessible, as I prepared for our holiday! All the best, Margaret Keller

“3rd visit and again enjoyed our time at Starfish.”

Unfortunately the windows are not air tight in the lounge and kitchen so very drafty. Shower unit needs some attention as the sealant is dirty. There is still an area in the lounge by the window that needs painting. Starfish is a lovely apartment with beautiful views, we will hopefully return next year
