Outstanding position and redecorated since last year. a very comfortable and welcoming cottage. Unfortunately, I think this may be our last visit as the trek to the car park is becoming increasingly difficult now at our age, even though we only attempt it once leave Lyme.We did try to get a taxi but one wasn't available.

The cottage is very well located pretty much right on the beach with short walks to Broad Street and all the facility's that Lyme has to offer. The property is well maintained and had all that we needed whilst on our stay. The parking permit supplied with the cottage was very useful also. We would defiantly stay here again. As ever we great service from Lyme Bay Holidays.

However, the prices now being charged are proving too high - it was the quietest Iâve known Lyme in June and the general consensus from people we spoke to is they will not return as they can go elsewhere for half the price - canât say I disagree - it would be interesting to know why the prices have been increased so much as I canât see any other reason than greed
