Great use of the space. Cosy and comfortable and really well equipped. Lovely bathrooms with great showers. Location was excellent - right in the heart of Lyme Regis with everything in walking distance. Only slight negative was the traffic noise in the mornings. Would definitely recommend.

Great having dishwasher tabs and dishwashing liquid supplied, so odd that clothes washing detergent/powder, body wash or facecloths were not.
