"The location of the property is great, And the property itself is large and spacious."
However, it is in need of TLC and basic maintenance. All of these findings have been reported back to the company/owner, so hopefully they will be rectified - The back door does not open or close properly, which is difficult when you have a dog, The bathroom has clearly suffered a leak and there is a large damaged patch to the ceiling which has been noticed before on a previous review but obviously not been dealt with, The main bathroom is scruffy, with badly bodged repairs and in need of a repaint. The walls throughout also are quite badly marked and there are several marks and stains on the carpets. Unfortunately, having stayed in several Sykes properties before we would not rate this as a four tick property currently. We did have an issue (just an unfortunate and unavoidable problem) which was resolved brilliantly by the Sykes team very quickly. The area is lovely and it’s a good walk down into Lyme Regis.

"A lovely house in a fantastic and quiet location."
We were a party of 3 generations and a dog for a short weekend trip. The space was fantastic and the kitchen well equiped. The only down down sides were it felt a little unloved. There were lots of cobwebs in the windows especially behind the blinds. There is a leak in the top floor bathroom, which must have been there for a while as the ceiling is stained. Shower heads also need replacing in both bathrooms. Outside lights front and back are not working and the decking area looked rotten. We didn't use it just in case!

"We had a problem with the Tv but after a call this was fixed."
Thankfully as we had some wet weather. Other than that the house was clean and warm and we had a great stay. Beds were very comfortable. Maybe baby gates being supplied might be good. We couldn’t fit one in our car and had to improvise with the airer to stop our blind dog toppling down the stairs to front door. We would still stay again so Thank you

"Several lights were not working and tv reception was unwatchable all week long."
however, the location was lovely and peaceful and ideal for touring the area.

"3 generations stayed at your holiday home."
We all enjoyed the space and cleanliness of all the rooms. Children enjoyed the playroom which was also used as quiet storytime, reading and play room. Welcome pack was top quality, thank you. Well equipped kitchen. A comfortable retreat to return to after days out (especially appreciated as we stayed during a stormy weather week). Bus service is available from the village. Bus stop a short walk away. Up hill walk on return to the house. We would highly recommend holiday home.

"The property was very comfortable and homely, well equipped and maintained, and had everything we needed for a very enjoyable and relaxing holiday."
There was plenty of space in this super clean house and well set up for bringing our dog. We would definitely recommend this property and hope to return again. Thank you to the owners.

"Just the tonic we needed booked as a last minute five day get away."
This fantastic clean and dog freindly home is perfect with all that is necessary and more for a lovely Dorset holiday. Set in a quiet cul-de-sac Very impressive kitchen everything you need. Lovely chunky solid Dinning room table and chairs Lounge with two large comfy sofas tv and modern electric fire. If you have toddlers you will need to sort out stair gates the stairs are only short flights but at the bottom it has modern tiled floors. The tiled floors are in the hall way from the front door also the kitchen and the dining room so all entrance doors have tilled floors which is brilliant for a soggy dog to be cleand and dried off before reaching the carpets. Bedrooms are spacious with comfortable beds Main bedroom nice ensuite with wc and a (large shower) Spacious main bathroom with bath and separate shower and wc Property also has a downstairs wc just inside the front door handy on returning from a long day exploring

"Lovely property lots of space, we stayed with my Son his Wife and baby, Thankyou for recommending to use x2 stair gates, we bought our own travel cot and high chair."
Sofa in the lounge very comfy. Master bedroom lovely comfy bed, and spacious, however 2nd bedroom double bed was too firm and too short for my Son who is 6’4”. Comfy single beds in the remaining two bedrooms. Outside space could have benefitted from some TLC on the decking area. However we have recommended to friends and would book again, great location, very quiet residential area, lovely views from living room and master bedroom and only a short drive into Lyme Regis. We really appreciated the very nice welcome pack Thankyou

"Great property, layout, location."
..perfect for us. Nice quiet, safe area. Nice walk into Lyme Regis. 100% positive, we will be rebooking. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. We are glad you had a great stay and look forward to you staying at Barnes Meadow again. Property Owner

"The property was very suitable for our stay."
It would have been helpful to have had a folder of information in the house about local doctors etc as one of our party was unwell and we needed to contact one. Also the heating was a little erratic as it went off in the evenings and turning up the thermostat did not turn it back on.
-
"We had a lovely family holiday."
28 barnes meadow was very homely and spacious .. this is now the 4th time we have stayed there and we will be coming back
-
"We enjoyed our holiday at Lyme Regis and the house was the perfect size for our family."
It was well furnished and we appreciated the wall art, which is in keeping with the coastal location. We would recommend a visit to the nearby Axe Wildlife Park which has a good selection of less common zoo animals and friendly, informative staff. The walk from the house along the River Lim pathway to Lyme Regis is also well worth doing and if you’re interested in fossil hunting, we suggest that you visit the Dinosaur Museum first, so that you know what to look for.

"We had a lovely break in this property and found it very clean and tidy."
Our only feedback would be that it lacked a bit of T.L.C. Whilst we appreciate it's a holiday property we were surprised that it didn't have a few of the basic touches like toilet roll holders and we were concerned that we only had 1 set of keys so in the case of an emergency in the night or a fire our exit would be somewhat restricted because the front door did not have a turnkey inside. That said we would not hesitate to go back (if they will have us) :-)

"Very nice house, 28, Barnes Meadow, Uplyme."
Very comfy beds and lovely views. Would stay there again.
-
"Although the house was spacious it lacked things that should have been there, with lots of stairs no stair gates were provided, the price being very high we thought a first priority would be protecting very young children from falling down stairs."
also the kitchen bins lid would not close allowing little fingers to rummage through dirty rubbish, overall a nice house with a few improvments and a price reduction we would return.
-
"Great sized property, and a fantastic location."
It is clear that the property will be popular - and whilst it was clean, it would benefit from a 'deep clean'. There were quite a few cobwebs, and dusty surfaces which can't be tackled in between lets (i.e. 5 hour turnaround). Couple of things really ought to have been tackled - these had been noted in the visitors book by previous visitors. 1. The bin in the kitchen needs replacing or a better lid. To not have a bin that can close in the summer months is problematic (smell and flies). 2. The fridge has a broken shelf (spotted on top of one of the kitchen cupboards), meaning it was not easy to store milk/juice etc. upright. 3. Would have been nice to have a washing line put up outside (found the folded device on the last day in the garage).
-
"Great holiday home, in a great location, with Lyme Regis within easy reach via The River Lyme Path."
Literally the only two things we could fault are the bin in the kitchen that doesn't stay closed (without a weight on it) and there being only 5 large plates for a party of 6. That aside, perfect!

The property
Settled into the quaint countryside of Uplyme, only a short distance from the popular seaside resort of Lyme Regis, Dorset, this contemporary cottage offers all of the amenities and a convenient location to make your Jurassic coast adventure perfect.
With off-road parking and a wonderful living space and garden, this property is perfect for families and groups of adults alike.
Clad in slate that decorates the face of the house until it reaches halfway, changing to local stone and yellow paint with huge wooden double doors, this property will instantly capture your attention and you will be eager to discover what awaits you indoors.
Find time to recline in a spacious sitting room, where an electric fire will warm your feet as you catch up on your favourite TV shows, or there is the option of a separate snug with books and a sofa, the perfect place for children to play or a quiet spot of reading.
A spacious kitchen boasts contemporary furniture with sand-coloured tiles reminiscent of the beautiful local beaches, grey tiled floors and white cupboards, the perfect place to make a family meal as the handy utility takes care of your muddy cloths.
You can serve your masterpiece on the dining table, also with tiles floors, as well as French windows allowing access to the beautiful garden and drawing in natural light to make the space airy.
As the evening wears on, climb the staircase to find four rooms, beginning with a spacious king-size with homely décor with a touch of opulence, fitted with its own en-suite where guests can enjoy a refreshing shower before heading out for the day.
A double room with sloping ceilings and large windows allows for countryside views, and two twin rooms with storage and large windows, also with sloping ceilings, are perfect for children to relax.
A family bathroom with a mixture of tiles and relaxing yellow paint encourages you to enjoy a soak amongst the bubbles or use the shower for a quicker refreshment.
Outside, the lawn surrounds the property, with a patio and seating area perfect for outdoor coffee, and an added raised seating area where you can enjoy a view of the stunning countryside.
With such beautiful surroundings, it would be a shame not to explore the countryside and you can do this by following a range of local trails including the picturesque River Lym footpath leading you into the town, or you can enjoy the coast through the East Devon Way.
There are also local sites such as Cannington Viaduct and Langmoor and Lister Gardens where you can enjoy the countryside air and take a picnic.
There is a local pub and post office close to the property, however, for greater variety, head into the town of Lyme Regis where you will find a great variety of eateries, as well as harbour and coastal walks.
Visit the local museums or venture out to the Jurassic coast to search for incredible fossils.
Surrounded by beautiful countryside, you will make a family holiday to remember with a stay at 28 Barnes Meadow.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £200.
