  Thank you for the welcome pack - much appreciated.

  House was in a good spot, perfectly placed for our Coast Path walking. It was just the right size for three sisters, and easy to warm up. Kitchen better equipped than some larger houses we've stayed in. Bus stop on the road right outside the complex was really useful. When we had an issue with finding the light switch (!) the Sykes out-of-hours respondent was super helpful - thanks. A couple of things would make it even more comfortable: There's a strong smell of dog, which must be fairly constant given the Febreze provided. If you got rid of the throws on the sofas, it would help a lot. We didn't use the bigger sofa at all as the smell was so strong. The mattress on the small double is the squeakiest I've ever encountered. A folder of info about the house itself - eg. how the cooker, microwave etc work, would be more useful than the Lyme Bay generic folder. In fact, we were confused to find that the house is managed by LB Hols when we'd booked via Sykes. I'm sure there's a good reason, but it would be good to be told. Thanks.

  Hi there, We stayed from 29 th of June until the 7 th of July.

  The house was really dirty when we came in. Doghairs were everywhere. We found a dirty a dirty sock and even a hard dried out sausage under the couch. The water boiler was full of fungus, the plates and glasses in the kitchen were not clean at all.There was no warm water in the kitchen to do the dishes! The beds were really sweaty, felt like we were wrapped in a plastic microwave..there was a broom..a plastic one with a big dent in it.Used it twice and it snapped. We even had to buy our own pans because the ones in the house were dirty and scratched. This is really risky for your health!! We were glad we left after a week. The environment was lovely but i wouldn't even recommended this house to my worst enemy.

  Stayed here for a month whilst working in Lyme Regis.

  Very quiet location but easy to get to local attractions, if required. Local convenience shops within a coule of miles in Charmouth and Lyme Regis. Plenty of parking right outside property. Comfortable beds and house well stocked with cooking utensils, cutlery and crockery. Good quality shower. We had an issue with electric heater in lounge not working (and during a very cold spell, the house was freezing) - called maintenance and whilst the heater wasn't fixed a replacement was there within a few hours. Kettle needs to be replaced as very difficult to open to fill. Stayed out of season so main hotel was not open but overall, a lovely place to stay.

  We are just returning from a week's holiday in 16 Wakeling Island.

  We had a such a lovely stay with our 4 children thoroughly enjoying all of the facilities and sports' equipment on offer. It was great having such easy access to the canal to make use of our own paddle board too. The house was super clean with everything we needed for our stay enabling us to cook for our family for the duration. Owing to the un favourable weather and also the excitement of the England football matches we were also delighted to make use of the comforts of the living area, games and TV screen. We really enjoyed the walks and exploring the wildlife. All in all, we really enjoyed our trip.

  No access to the garden from the house, you had to walk around a slippery path and up 3 steps to get to it.

  Uncomfortable cane furniture, nowhere to stretch out after a long day walking. Bed uncomfortable, no bedside table or lamps so when you turned out the main light you had to fumble in the pitch black to get to bed. We couldn’t get the Oven to work even with the few instructions provided. The microwave sounded like it was on its last legs! DVD player didn’t work. No problem with cleanliness.The hotel nearby isn’t dog friendly. Lovely location but uncomfortable house. We cut our holiday short by 1 day as we couldn’t face it any more.
