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.
Comfortable house in a lovely location with a beautiful view.

"Oved the property, lovely to have the sea across the road."
Bed comfy and linen first class. Three floors could be a problem to some people, having a bag for all precious items (phone, glasses, tablets etc) helped.
Problems Not for publication:
Found some mugs dirty, 1 wine glass chipped, two cereal dishes chipped. Top floor shower rubber faulty and bottom edges of cubicle grubby. Toilet seats in 1 st and 3rd floor toilets need replacing.
Apart from those small problems it is first class and we will visit again.

Love the refurbished bathroom, just one thing to ask. Could a bathmat be provided to stand on when showering to avoid slipping getting out of the bath.
Just to mention, the sliding door leading out to the balcony on the 1st floor is sticking halfway along - it might just need lubricating. Doesnt distract from the view though

"All credit to tthe cleaner in this property."
Quirky layout to make the most of the sea view but we soon adapted. Very comfortable accomodation, but probably not suitable for the less mobile due to stairs. The only reason not 5 star is that there were a few minor maintenace issues such as loose toilet seats ( brackets worn out ). The kitchen was well equipped with crockery and utensils but the not so non stick frying pan needs replacing. That said I would thoroughly reccomend this property.

"We arrived to find the main tv in the lounge broken."
I wanted to watch the Rugby World Cup! I reported it to the cleaner first on Friday. A new TV arrived Thursday late afternoon. We moved the small tv from downstairs upstairs but it was a strain using it in the lounge. We helped the owner by confirming the main Tv has a major failure.
The daily telephone and texts & calls spoilt our get-away holiday. The towels are worn, faded and hard and need replaced. Many of the upstairs chairs are old and fragile and we were too nervous to use them. The toilet seats need tightening. Some door handles are loose. The window in the main bedroom has a broken latch.
As a holiday let, it did not meet our standards. All the seating we used was
uncomfortable.
From the positive side - parking was great. The kitchen is well equipped. The little garden was nice. The view was first class.

A designated parking spot - essential and very welcome.
Best of all...the house is on the seafront...with a balcony...and magnificent views.
5 stars !
The Sykes survey needs clarifying...I wasn't sure whether 1 or 4 was very good. The first question suggests 10 is good and 1 poor.
So I opted for 4s on succeeding questions as this appeared to be the best score I could award...

"Sea view puts any minor criticism in the shade."
.. Absolutely brilliant!
Minor quibbles: There is a small library of DVDs on the first floor, where the main TV resides along with settee and armchairs, but you can't watch DVDs on that TV... because the DVD PLAYER is on the ground floor in the small study(?) with just a 2-seater settee. The living room TV could be bigger, we had to pull it forward into the centre of the room to avoid eye-strain (settee too heavy to move). Why mention DVDs in such a beautiful setting? Well, we had torrential rain and 40-50 mph winds for the first 5 days... (but we did get to see HMS Queen Elizabeth at anchor in the bay for 24 hours). One caveat: if you are getting on and live in a flat or bungalow, you will struggle with the stairs over 3 floors, especially as the master bedroom (loved the mattress) is on the top floor. Minor issues, as I said, and I would heartily recommend 6 Lyme Mews for a family but, sadly, this 78 year-old flat-dweller will have to give it a miss.

"We love Seaton anyway but this house was new for us and it is brilliant."
Fantastic sea views from the lounge & master bedroom & so much in teams of cutlery/crockery/household stuff; we could not have asked for more.
One minor point is that the garage at the back is at a lower level so you have to go down steps to it & the corner of the garage sticks out at head level as you descend. My husband hit his head as he was going past with an armful of stuff, watching his feet on the steps, not his head. It made quite a mess. I'm sure something could be done to make it safer.
Thank you for taking the time to complete your feedback following your recent stay at 6 Lyme Mews. We have spoken with the owner who has confirmed that she will attend to the rounding off of the garage corner. We are pleased to hear you enjoyed your stay and look forward to welcoming you back.

"The main concern was the cleanliness."
This house needs a deep clean. We could not fault the beds nor bedding. We were very surprised to find other peoples clothes in the bedroom drawers in the main bedroom. This made us feel uncomfortable. The owner probably leaves some of her clothes for when she is there. The house needs de cluttering and re furbishing.
Saying all of these constructive comments, we will definitely return as the location was perfect. We spent hours on the balcony people watching. The balcony made our holiday.
The owners are delighted that you loved the location and balcony and will be returning again next year. Her cleaner was on holiday the week of your visit and she apologizes if her replacement did not prepare the house to the normal standard. There is plenty of drawer space at the property. The owner uses the ceiling height drawer for her own essentials.

Also on the first floor is a lovely large sitting room overlooking the sea which is very comfortable and there is a small balcony off this which would be lovely to sit on given the right weather. On the ground floor there is another small sitting room and a very well equipped kitchen and and also another toilet. There is a front door leading to the beach and a back door leading to the parking area and to a large Tesco store just across the road. It is a very god place to stay as it is very easy to get lots of places of interest around the Devon Coast and inland tom Exmoor. We had a wonderful week even though the weather was not brilliant and would definitely stay in this flat again. This flat would suit a family, as long as they are not very young children or two or three sets of adults. Everything you could possibly need is provided including basic food items in the kitchen cupboard and there are plenty of places to eat in and around Seaton. Also, if you do wish to eat in, the flat is well equipped with crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. The only thing I would say, is that as there are two flights of stairs in the flat, it may not be suitable for people who have difficulty with stairs.
I would like to thank the owners of this flat for such a wonderfully well equipped and comfortable flat in a wonderful location with the best parking space we have ever had when staying in a holiday flat and for the cleaners who get the flat immaculate. WD would definitely stay again if we are going to be in this part of Devon..

Where you’ll be staying
SEATON, DEVON
Colyford: 1.6 miles; Branscombe: 4.1 miles; Exmouth: 21.1 miles
Seaton is a seaside town in East Devon on the south coast. It faces onto Lyme Bay, to the west of the mouth of the River Axe with red cliffs to one side and white cliffs on the other. Axmouth and Beer are nearby. A sea wall provides access to the mostly shingle beach stretching for about a mile, and a small harbour. Seaton is on the stretch of Devon coastline, known as the Jurassic Coast, a designated World Heritage Site, and the town offers a good range of shops, friendly cafes, restaurants and pubs.
