Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
"Lovely and would definitely consider staying again!"
The view is magnificent and the inside is well done. We really enjoyed the soaking tub and beds were decent. The only thing I’d do right away is clean the furniture, pillows on sofa and carpets. Otherwise it was a perfect getaway and we really enjoyed it.

"We had a brilliant time at Bay View in Lyme Regis."
The cottage is well maintained with an amazing view of the coast. It’s close to the centre but is quietly out of the way. There’s plenty to do and see around there. We parked in a car park nearby and got a weekly permit so we didn’t need to worry about parking during the week. There was a lovely welcome pack and we had everything we needed for the stay. Would definitely return to Bay View if we visited Dorset again.

"We had problems accessing the apartment as the key would not turn, all it needed was WD40."
I suggest that you maintain this or get the lock changed.
Also a USB socket for charging phones would be useful.

"The property was in a great location and very spacious."
The view really made it a lovely place to stay. However to make the property even better a few updates could be made - the sofa/chair/pillows in the main room need some TLC, they are very worn and do not look clean. The plates/bowls/mugs etc again look old and used - paint chips/ scratched etc. The chest of drawers and side table in the main room are very old and smell old too. We didn't use there to put our close in because of the smell - we used our suitcase and the wardrobe. I think the property just needs a bit of TLC to make it great, but it's ok.
Thank you for your comments. Lovely to hear you liked the property. Your recommendations have been picked up by the owner who has already started looking to resolve the points mentioned. We appreciate you taking the time to feed this back to us.

"I have booked with Lyme Bay for easily over 20 years and in covid I know enhanced cleaning had to take place but I am cross with the continued policy of no access until 4pm then you have you have to be out by 10am."
It leaves the customer feeling short changed and as customers our needs could be taken into account too
Thank you for your custom over the last 20 years, it is great to hear that you enjoy coming to the area. All of our properties are set up as 10am check out and 4pm check in to allow for our cleaners, maintenance and linen team to service all of our properties in time for incoming guests. We try our best to allow guests to check in earlier where it allows but it is not always possible. We appreciate you feeding this back to us regardless. The Lyme Bay Team.

"Property is in a nice location."
Just needs a little attention. Shower upstairs needs fixing. Plug loss. Pipes detach. Toilet seat needs to be silent close. Shower in ground level needed shower door hanging correctly. Did this myself! Remove rusted kitchen tools, potato peeler.
Blinds in bathrooms need updating. Wall in window recess of ground level twin room needs redecoration. Carpets need a clean. Sofa and armchair covers need a clean. Cushions on sofa need updating. Windows in living area need to be fully removed of cobwebs seeing at that frames the view. Balcony needs a good clean and table updating. Windows in roof need cleaning above living area.
Do not advise you have a inclosed area for dog as they isn't. Just instead advise of very closet place to take dog for toilet.
Front Door was different to operate locking and unlocking.
Please note I give feedback in all honesty of just getting best from property.
We hope you enjoyed your stay in Lyme Regis and thank you for letting us know of these issues. We could not find any record of these issues being raised during your stay, as a local agent we would have happily attended to rectify them as we want our guests to have the best possible experience. We have removed the peeler and broken masher and will arrange for the sofa arm to be cleaned.

Unfortunately we had to have maintenance out twice to get the shower heat sorted. The dishes in the top draw of the dish washer didn’t get washed properly. You can’t watch TV only Netflix etc.which we did mention but was never sorted. The dinning chairs are wobbly and need fixing.

"Thank you for a wonderful stay."
The spacious appartment is so light and airy, with fantastic views from the main room. We loved watching the vast skies from the big bay window, whatever the weather.
The decor and facilities are well maintained and the flat is nicely decorated and spotlessly clean. It's a great location, just 10m walk down to the seafront, though the uphill walk back keeps you fit! And while it is on one of the main roads into town, it's still really pretty quiet most of the time. The pub next door was quite lively on the Saturday night, but nothing that bothered us.
Thank you for the lovely welcome pack.
We'd definitely stay here again.

"My sister and I enjoyed our week in Bay View."
The welcome goody bag was much appreciated. The spacious clean and comfortable accommodation with lovely views suited us very well. There needs to be clear instructions on putting on the heating system. After 2 visits from the company maintenance staff they brought us 2 portable heaters as they couldn't work it out either. The television also needs clear instructions for use as it is not just a matter of using the main controller but needs to be used in conjunction with a second. Other than those 2 points we really enjoyed our stay.

"The property was disappointing."
The property needs a coat of paint in the hallway which access is via steep stairs. For 4 older people this was difficult. Also the lights in the bathroom didn’t work, just one small down lighter. The light on the shaver point didn’t work. There was difficulty in the water flowing freely from the hand basins in both bathrooms (1 very blocked). The television did not work (needs looking at immediately).there was no mention of a very steep hill to climb to access the property. If mentioned we would not have booked as we were a party of age 87,77,75 and 68. No mention of this in the details. Overall disappointing.
1. Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback following your recent stay. Bay View is getting a scheduled paint refresh imminently, apologies that this couldn’t have been programmed a little earlier, we have had a busy summer of almost continuous bookings. We have been round and sorted out the lights, TV and drains, we only wish you had let us know when you were in residence, and we would have been more than happy to attend. We have asked the internet provider to check the line to see if that’s hindering the TV reception too. Thank you for bringing it to our attention as otherwise we don’t know. Following your feedback, we have added an accessibility note to the website as we like to pre warn potential guests of any relevant quirks that may hamper their stay. I am sorry that these issued have marred what should have been a pleasurable stay for you. Whilst the majority of guests will have an enjoyable holiday in the properties we let, this isn’t always the case, so we welcome and appreciate your feedback as it enables us to improve the service, we offer guests and the standard of properties we let.

"We loved the apartment and thought it was in a decent location."
The sea view is amazing, but didn't really use the balcony due to a lack of privacy and had a little trouble with various dogs barking. The facilities are excellent, we had everything we needed and the double be was very comfortable though my daughter had a little discomfort in the single bed. The standard of cleaning was decent but there were huge dangling cobwebs , various marks on windows and crockery and cutlery needed a clean before we used them. On the whole we loved it and would return, welcome pack was a very nice touch.
We are so pleased that you enjoyed the apartment and location for your holiday in Lyme Regis. Its such a shame you were not able to enjoy the balcony and I have spoken to our housekeeping team regarding your cleaning observations. The welcome pack is an option that the owner has chosen to supply and is provided by a local company with local produce and generally the provisions are very well received and appreciated after a long journey, so thank you for your feedback. I am pleased that you enjoyed your holiday, and we look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. Team LBH

The view of the coast was stunning and watching the swifts flying back and forth over the area all evening an added bonus. So much of the property felt done up to a standard better than we are used to in holiday homes which meant we felt very comfortable and relaxed.
