  • "Great value."

    Enjoyed stay. Great welcome pack. Very happy generally. Fab location. Lights a bit problematic in evening. Entry dark and no light working from top of stairs and also entry to flat. Would also be good to have light that is motion activated outside. Bit dark for 80+ year old.

    Sorry the lights in the lobby and top of the stairs had developed an issue but were subsequently fixed and the outside lighting is motion sensitive Property Owner

  • "Firstly, it was a nightmare finding the apartment even though we were trying to follow the direction."

    There were two fish restaurants with similar names and this property was located inside one of the restaurants in a very narrow side street. This made parking and taking our luggage out of the car near the property a nightmare. The parking provided was up a very steep hill and inconvenient to carry our luggage. The approach to the apartment through the restaurant created a very poor impression as it was dirty and smelly. Greater effort should be made to keep the place clean and up to hygiene standards. The inside of the apartment living room was very poorly furnished with a very worn out ragged looking sofa and a dirty reclining chair.

    We are sorry you had difficulties finding the property and are not aware of any previous problems in this regard as we do advise the address, postal code and What3Words reference within the travel instructions, and advise that there is no on street parking. We are also sorry you were disappointed by the yard which isn’t part of the flat. The property details do explain that the apartment is located above a restaurant, so inevitably there can be some commercial impact. The apartments' central location offers convenient access to local shops and restaurants. The owner was actually at the flat just before yourself and does accept the lounge furnishings have started to look tired, and will be addressing this over the winter but hope that overall you were still able to enjoy your break.

  • "Entrance and courtyard filthy,washing machine not working."

    Church View cottage clean, Sofa very uncomfortable and shabby, cottage well equipped but looking tired. Great location.

    We are sorry to hear that you experienced some issues upon arrival. We would have attended to the issue with the washing machine if advised your stay. We will make the owner aware of the issue with the presentation of the shared entrance with the restaurant. We hope you enjoyed your time in Lyme Regis. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

  • "The entrance courtyard could certainly be cleaned up as initial impression was very poor."

    Even though we stayed when the restaurant wasnt open the smell of cooking fats etc was strong all week. The garden was neglected and no idea where the shared washing machine was as all outside sheds and cupboards were padlocked. The position is ideal for access to the town and is the area we prefer to stay.

    Thank you for making us aware of the issue of not being able to locate the washing machine, we will look at making our instructions clearer for guests. The apartment does not have access to the garden. We do advertise the apartment as being above a restaurant. The apartment is located centrally for access to the beaches and the many local restaurants and shops within the town. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

    I haven’t had my deposit back yet because Sykes said they need my bank details but you already have them I didn’t want to put them on line

  • "The property is fine but the customer services as provided by now Sykes Cottages are appalling."

    It took a visit to the office + 3 phone calls to obtain the refund of the security deposit and then I still had to spend additional time setting up an online account that I don't wish to have.

The property

A duplex apartment situated across the first and second floor of a historic property resting in Lyme Regis, Dorset.

With easy access to the town centre and beach, Church View is the perfect base for a family looking to explore Dorset.

Use the off-road parking provided just a short walk from the house and enter into an open-plan living area spanning the first floor of this property, where traditional black painted roofbeams and an ornamental fireplace add to the history of the space, with seating perfect for relaxation before you begin your day.

Leading on from the sitting area you will find a wonderful little kitchen, stocked with all of the essentials and with wooden walls and furniture to give a taste of tradition as you cook up a storm made from local produce and enjoy a social family meal at the dining table provided.

The bedrooms can be found on the second floor of this apartment, beginning with a double which you access through a historic white painted corridor, with high ceilings giving an airy feel to the room, stone walls and roof beams, as well as great storage and a homely feel.

The second bedroom is a single, perfect for children, and there is additional sleeping due to a pull-out truckle bed.

A bathroom with a blue tiled floor offers a space to soak the sand from your hair before getting cosy for the night.

The location of this property couldn’t be any better, with the Lyme Regis Museum and a handful of quaint craft shops only a short walk, offering historical information and beautiful handmade gifts.

Enjoy a heart-warming meal just a short walk from the property at one of the many delicious eateries available, many with a view of the harbour below.

If you are visiting the Jurassic coast then taking a walk along the stunning coastline is a must, where you can enjoy a picnic beneath the towering cliffs, enjoy a swim in the sea or even try out fossil hunting to see what you can discover.

Make a family holiday to remember with a stay at Church View.

In the summer months the restaurant operates as a bar with background music on Thursday/ Friday/ Saturday 5 - 10.30pm
