Guests say
Watersmeet boasts stunning sea views and a prime location in Lyme Regis, with guests praising its proximity to local amenities. The property offers comfortable furnishings and a well-equipped kitchen, though some guests noted areas needing TLC. The entrance and communal areas were frequently mentioned as requiring improvement.
The apartment itself generally receives positive remarks for cleanliness, with guests finding it tidy upon arrival. However, there are isolated comments about inadequate cleaning and a dirty communal entrance, slightly lowering the score.
The location is highly praised for its fantastic coastal views and central proximity to shops, restaurants, and the beach, making it a standout feature of the property.
Guests find the beds and sofas comfortable and the living spaces pleasant. Criticisms of the small en-suite showers and the outdoor terrace suggest room for improvement in comfort for some guests.
While the kitchen is well-equipped and the property offers necessary amenities, there are several mentions of maintenance issues such as non-working ovens, outdated fire equipment, and a need for updates in the en-suite bathrooms.
There is no mention of gifts or special touches that would indicate thoughtfulness from the hosts, so it is not possible to provide a score in this category.

When the sun came out, it was glorious. The facilities were great and we had everything we needed - comfortable beds and nice bathrooms. The living room is a little dated but the aspect is so good, and the room so comfy, you really wouldn't care. Sitting out on the balcony in the sun was a dream. Can't recommend this place enough. The only negative is that you have to pay to park to unload as you can't really stop on the road and the permit is for the carpark ten minutes up the hill. Not a massive deal to us. We loved it and would happily book again.

Only 1 very minor point - there was no cloth in the kitchen to wipe the sides which would have been useful. I do agree the en-suite shower rooms are small (very inventive use of space!) but there is shower over the bath for those wanted a little more space.
