"This is a lovely property, with a great location."
It was very comfortable for six people. I would not wish to be there with eight. It is certainly big enough for eight people, and would not feel over-crowded. However, you can only (just) fit six to eat at the kitchen/dining table, and the seating in the sitting room only just suits six people - you certainly couldn't get eight people relaxing to watch a film in there, for example. All it would take is a bigger kitchen/dining table, and an extra large sofa and it would be perfect for eight. The listing is not accurate, in that none of the windows on the front open (so, that's three of the four bedrooms and the sitting room). I expect it's because of the (very efficient) secondary double-glazing as it is on the main road into Lyme, but we'd have preferred some noise, and the ability to open the windows. The dishwasher needs salt and rinse aid, which was not supplied. All that said, we would return. Everything else excellent - clean, comfortable, generally spacious and very close to beach and town.

"The main front door into the apartment, when locked from inside is really hard to unlock again."
It is the only way in and out of the building making it a fire hazard. This has been commented on before so please make it safe. The apartment is beautiful and a fabulous location. You do pass through another garden before you get to the front door which is round the side of the building. The photo of the listing is mis leading. The main picture is of another listing.
Thank you for your comment we will send our Maintenance Team to look at the lock. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

"Our stay in Lyme Regis was enjoyable and a great place to stay."
The house itself was not exactly what we anticipated the garden is shared with another building and you had to go through two doors to access the house. The door handle fell off and we had to try to screw it back on. The house was clean however was a-bit dusty and the windows need a good clean. The house had all that we needed for our short stay clean beds, clean bathroom with towels and kitchen utensils. It is old fashioned but it does state that it is a listed property. The living room could have done with more seating as 8 guests don’t fit on 2 sofas.
Thank you for your comments. We do state on the website that the property does not have outside space, and the garden at the rear is for access only. We are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

"Stunning large house."
Big rooms and lots of space. Great location for the beach too. We had real trouble with the first door when locking and unlocking. You walk past a beautiful little garden to get to the property but the property itself doesn't have an outside area. I would stay here again and I would definitely recommend to friends and family great property.

"Property was more than adequate, though a bit dated."
Bathroom needs more(some) storage and worktop and less bidet. A couple of dishwasher tabs wouldn’t go a miss either. Keys are fiddly. As were internal locks and latch’s. Excellent location.
We leave a supply of starter consumables for guests including dishwasher tablets, toilet rolls etc, and will follow-up with the housekeeper to ensure that these are left out for guests. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

"Great location for the shops and beach taking only 2 minutes to get to everything."
The property is spacious with plenty of room. Clean and very well presented. It is advertised that only 2 of the windows do not open, but only one bedroom window out of the 4 open meaning it can get quite stuffy in the house. Bins were overflowing when we arrived and as the main bin hadn’t been labelled. Previous holiday residents clearly didn’t want to carry the bins out the short distance to the road. This required us to email as was unsure as to why it was like this. Having a washing machine is wonderful as not all properties offer this. Consider for future though whether keeping it outside is viable or adding a basket and clothes airer outside would keep it viable to stay there.
Thank you for your feedback. We will investigate the windows and rubbish situation. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

"Could do with another bathroom upstairs where the 2 empty walk in areas are."
Apart from that it was beautiful.
