What our customers say about their holidays

  The Lodge is a lovely quaint little seasidey cottage, the views out the back are wonderful and the property is stocked with most things we needed.

  The welcome pack was a nice touch and very much appreciated after a long drive. The property's proximity to Lyme Regis centre is great as it was just a short walk to the restaurants, shops and beach. However, for the price we paid our expectations were higher so I'm afraid we left a little disappointed. There were aspects of the property which were in poor condition (damaged walls, broken window catches, stains on the carpets, stains on the grout in the bathrooms). On first glance it appeared clean, but we moved the footstool in the living room and found dirty tissues and other rubbish underneath, many areas were dusty, and handrails and light switches were grubby. I think the listing should also mention that the property may not be suitable for those with limited mobility. Not only is it on a steep hill, but the stairs are steep, winding and uneven. The ensuite in the double bedroom is tiny and I suspect that a larger individual would struggle to get in and out the shower and move about, probably something that should also be mentioned in the details. The details mention the restricted parking which was really helpful, but unfortunately the neighbour kept parking in one of our allocated spaces which made things even more awkward. We had a few questions before our visit, and Lyme Bay Holiday answered quickly and efficiently through WhatsApp. Unfortunately one of the answers was wrong (yes, they do have a cafetiere (two in fact), we didn't need to bring our own after all), and the W3W address in the pre-arrival information needs to be corrected (it's currently directing you to a location in Trinidad!). We have rented a lot of holiday properties in the past, this was our first with Lyme Bay Holidays. Sadly they wouldn't be my first choice if I were to visit the area again.

  This property is in a lovely setting with super views.

  It is very well equipped with everything you could need in the kitchen. Lovely walks to Lyme Regis. Great not to have to use the car. There are a couple of points to consider with this property though. The property suited us as 2 adults, a teenager and a dog. However I can’t really see it working with 6 people as it’s advertised for due to the size of the kitchen/dinning room and seating in the lounge. The garden is secure which is great if you have a dog, However, it should be noted the gates on the driveway need to be shut to achieve this. We don’t have a large car so we were able to manoeuvre our car to be able to shut them. Not sure how easy this would be with a large car and certainly not with 2 cars. Unfortunately we didn’t find the sofas or mattresses particularly comfortable which meant no great night sleep for anyone. Overall the great weather and setting of the property meant we enjoyed our week away but I would be unlikely to return to this property.

  Just the tonic we needed booked as a last minute five day get away.

  This fantastic clean and dog freindly home is perfect with all that is necessary and more for a lovely Dorset holiday. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac Very impressive kitchen everything you need. Lovely chunky solid Dinning room table and chairs Lounge with two large comfy sofas tv and modern electric fire. If you have toddlers you will need to sort out stair gates the stairs are only short flights but at the bottom it has modern tiled floors. The tiled floors are in the hall way from the front door also the kitchen and the dining room so all entrance doors have tilled floors which is brilliant for a soggy dog to be cleand and dried off before reaching the carpets. Bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds Main bedroom nice ensuite with wc and a (large shower) Spacious main bathroom with bath and separate shower and wc Property also has a downstairs wc just inside the front door handy on returning from a long day exploring

  The location of the property is great, And the property itself is large and spacious.

  However, it is in need of TLC and basic maintenance. All of these findings have been reported back to the company/owner, so hopefully they will be rectified - The back door does not open or close properly, which is difficult when you have a dog, The bathroom has clearly suffered a leak and there is a large damaged patch to the ceiling which has been noticed before on a previous review but obviously not been dealt with, The main bathroom is scruffy, with badly bodged repairs and in need of a repaint. The walls throughout also are quite badly marked and there are several marks and stains on the carpets. Unfortunately, having stayed in several Sykes properties before we would not rate this as a four tick property currently. We did have an issue (just an unfortunate and unavoidable problem) which was resolved brilliantly by the Sykes team very quickly. The area is lovely and it’s a good walk down into Lyme Regis.

  Clean and equipped for all our grown-up family needs, we appreciated the adaptations of this unique property to maximise functionality.

  Definitely appreciated the location and front door access on what was one of the hottest and busiest weeks of the year in Lyme Regis. Though in terms of regulating temperature within the house, a pole long enough to open the en-suite velux window would have been an advantage. The advantages of location come at the price of the noise of passing pedestrians, buses, delivery vehicles, and other engines struggling up the hill, which did effect the sleep of those in the front bedrooms, but an inevitable trade off. Having asked a question about EV charging pre booking, I’ve would have liked further information in the pre-arrival instructions or the folder inside the house as to how to get the charger switched on / unlocked. As some of our party travelled by train, we ended up using a public charger near Axminster station instead for the one charge we needed. Overall a very enjoyable holiday.
