"A very comfortable and relaxing stay, quiet grounds and close to sea ."
-
"The property was lovely and well equipped."
The entrance from the car park looked a bit run down and there were a lot of dead flies on the stairs. The very steep hill to the beach wasn’t really made clear in the description. Luckily we knew Lyme Regis so was aware of the hill.

"Property as described, very comfortable and clean."

"Firstly I think more should be made of the gated parking because that is definitely an asset of the property."
The ability to walk through the garden and go out on to the street via the back gate is also really handy and stops the need for a car in busy Lyme Regis. The interior decor of the flat however felt tired. The main sofa was a sofa bed so was hard to sit on and the fabric at the bottom was ripped. Everything worked but the appliances are all very old (WiFi router, microwave, kettle and toaster) so work okay but feel a bit grotty and over used as it would in student digs. The WiFi was slow because of the old router not the connection. The bathroom and immersion heater were is the worst shape. It took ages to heat the water and we had to stagger baths and showers to ensure everyone could wash - really hot water is a basic necessity when you advertise a property as family friendly. There is also mould on the ceiling of the bathroom and because of the lack of windows and poor working extractor fan the bathroom would feel wet and smell damp most the time. It was probably a really nice property when it was first decorated but now everything is a little tired. The front door is incredibly stiff and should be looked at. We were also shocked that the main lock is a deadbolt and not a proper secure lock. It is an interior door and the flats feel very safe but still, an older couple or those with mobility issues in their hands would struggle to get inside and might not secure it properly as it is very stiff. Overall an okay property if you factor in the above caveats but not 4 star unless the above is updated.

"Our 3rd time staying at 2 Buckfields and it didn't disappoint again."
Perfect location for exploring and lovely accommodation to make the stay even better, relaxed and comfortable. Would continue to stay here for any future visits to Lyme
-
"A super apartment,extremely comfortable,well equipped and very homely."
We made good use of the private patio and the communal garden area due to the good weather. Our one and only slight criticism is that we found the front door very difficult to physically open and shut.No doubt this can be easily rectified and we tended to use the patio door to enter and exit which was much easier! We would definitely love to stay here again,thank you.

"The front door of the apartment was impossible for me to open as the door was warped even after a maintenance person came round."
Mattresses on twin beds uncomfortable with buttons poking out. However the apartment as a whole was wonderful, peaceful, beautifully furnished and well equipped.

"Great apartment I'd say generous room sizes, lovely comfy beds, clean and well equipped, everything we needed, short walk to the centre of Lyme."
.. would recommend!
-
"A lovely property, great location, clean, welcoming and just ideal for a stay in Lyme Regis."
Our 3 year old loved it! Our 2nd stay here and we will definitely be back and stay here again
-
"A fantastic flat in a great location with everything we needed."
Lovely and clean and very homely. Thank you!
-
"Lovely little find, ideal for our stay, a short walk from the Cobb and town centre."
Would definitely stay here again
-
"Nice property well maintained"
-
"Perhaps we weren’t looking well enough but couldn’t find replacement bin bag as ours split."
Would be an idea to mention that the apartment is up a hill, for those guests who might find it problematic. We would book again. Girls loved the shops and time spent fossil hunting.
-
"We really enjoyed our stay again at Buckfields."
Very clean and comfortable. A couple of suggestions: The crockery is a bit tired and short of a few pieces. A new set of 8 place settings would be good, and the patio furniture could do with a upgrade.
-
"Very spacious property and lovely to have the outside space."
10 minute walk to the seafront but remember that Lyme is very hilly!! Well equipped apartment and would recommend.
-
"Excellent apartment and very well equipped."
The car parking was really good, and very secure.
-
"Overall a very positive experience."
However,: just a couple of things people should be aware of . The immersion heater needs to be turned on on arrival,and needs to be highlighted in the apartment notes. The allotted parking space is not easy to manoeuvre into and out of,even if nobody is parked next to you.It could,and should,be widened by transplanting the adjacent box hedge.
