The en-suite SHOWER had black mould on the grouting; BATH screen was filthy. Hair on floors. Plastic anti-slip mats were disgusting. BEDS had hairs. KITCHEN, although well equipped, the pans are all past their best and not safe for use. SOFAS smelt and were dirty - could do with a good clean. DVD player did not work. Reported to office. The distance of the CAR PARKING to the Property should be stated on the advertisement. We enjoyed our holiday in Lyme Regis but feel badly let down by Sykes; the cost of the rental did not match the condition of the property. I shall be sharing my concerns with Head Office.
