Guests say

Avocet is a well-regarded apartment in Lyme Regis, praised for its excellent location and beautiful views, particularly from the top terrace. Guests appreciate the tasteful decoration, the welcome pack, and the proximity to local amenities. Some concerns were raised about noise, parking costs, and minor maintenance issues, but overall stays were enjoyed.

The apartment generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with guests finding it clean and fresh. However, there were isolated comments about unclean crockery and an old sweet wrapper found under the bed, suggesting room for improvement in thoroughness.

The location is highly praised for being close to the beach, restaurants, and local attractions. Guests loved the convenience and the views, although some noted the additional cost of parking and occasional noise from nearby pubs.

Comfort is generally well-received with a comfortable bed and well-furnished spaces. However, some guests mentioned issues with noise from floorboards and a mattress that could benefit from replacement, slightly detracting from the overall comfort.

Facilities are appreciated, especially the well-equipped kitchen and the welcome pack. Some guests encountered issues with the TV, internet, and shower, but these were often resolved promptly. Suggestions for improvement include better lighting and more outdoor furniture.

Guests were delighted with the welcome pack, which added a thoughtful touch to their stay. It's important to note that such amenities are subject to change and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

The delightful seaside town of Lyme Regis has much to offer its visitors, boasting a maze of narrow streets filled with craft and antique shops, galleries and cafes.

    When we arrived there was milk in the fridge, cookies, chocolate, tea etc., which we enjoyed a lot. The description for check-in was perfect. It would have been helpful to have some information about the parking situation, to know where long-term parking is possible. The sea-view showed on the picture is the view from the upper terrasse, from the appartement you have got only a small section to see the sea. But we enjoyed to be very near to the seafront and spent some restful days .

    It was in a perfect location and was beautifully decorated and had everything we needed. Great welcome pack!! Our only issue was with the key safe.. Didn't work!

  • Victoria

    We wouldn't hesitate to return. During our visit we were blessed with a late season heat wave so the roof terrace was so lovely to sit in lovely peaceful surroundings. The apartment is bijou but beautifully furnished and spotlessly clean. The location is just perfect and surrounded by lovely pubs and restaurants and only a stones throw from the beach. Thank you for the lovely welcome pack and for having us, we'll be back!
