We only had a bit of paper in the recycling bin , when I went to bring them in , the paper had gone but someone had filled it with wine bottles! After they had been emptied! We Don’t drink Wine ! !

    We had a lovely stay in Byeways very comfortable and everything we needed, the summerhouse was nice but needs a bit of tlc as the door doesn’t close properly and also the door to the garden from lounge catches but otherwise a very lovely bungalow

  • "The bungalow was lovely, the area was lovely and quiet, the neighbours were very friendly, only disappointing point was the build up of dust in the living room when we arrived, there was no welcome pack, ie, tea, coffee, milk and sugar, good job we brought our own tassimo machine because the last thing you want to do after a four hour drive is find a shop."

    Other than that it was all good, information booklet was great, shame the previous occupants left glass bottles in the paper/ cardboard bin,

    Thankyou for your feedback, always welcome and taken on board. I'm sorry to hear about your issues within the bungalow, which I will look at to future improve. The recycling procedure in Devon is to put glass and cardboard in the same container, which I realise is not the same across the country. Sandy Property Owner

  • "It would have been good to have the Dyson cleaner working it does not seem to charge and was previously mentioned weeks ago in the visitors book."

    Drive too steep for us to get the bin down.

    Good cooking equipment and kitchen. Double bed mattress old and very uncomfortable.

  • "All good except tv remote poor."

    Replaced batteries but remote a bit worn out. Poor shower water pressure. Comfortable bed and seating and excellent kitchen. Very peaceful. Drive very steep and difficult to turn at the top. Excellent position for visiting area and Lyme Bay Winery just up the road which should be mentioned in the description. Pity no welcome pack, not even milk! Also no dishcloth or any instructions for appliances.

    Thank you for your comments. We're pleased to hear that you enjoyed exploring the local area, including the winery. This property does not supply a hamper but does provide a starter supply of cleaning consumables. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

  • "Lovely bungalow in wonderfully quiet location."

    Took a while getting used to the layout (kitchen one end and lounge the other) but no probs. Loved the front and back gardens - great views from front. Would have liked another TV in either the kitchen or the main bedroom. Other than that we had everything we needed. Would fully recommend

    Thank you for your feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the gardens, a second TV is on my list for 2024 upgrading. Sandy Property Owner

  • "Lovely comfortable bungalow in a beautiful countryside setting."

    Could do with a little maintenance but was nothing that detracted from the holiday. For example bird table fencing etc. Would definitely visit again

    Thanks for the comments regarding the bungalow, very much appreciated. The maintenance of the fences is ongoing and the bird table removed. I hope you enjoyed this little corner of East Devon. Property Owner
