"Amazing property."
Large family group ranging from 25 to 61 years of age. Fantastic facilities. Excellent living spaces and very comfortable bedrooms. There wasn't anything we needed during our stay. There's usually a couple of items that you think it would be handy to have provided but not in this case. The only very very small comment from us and not to any detriment as we managed was more instructions on use of the aga and where to put the rubbish would have been helpful.

Great facilities and pleasant accommodation and everyone particularly the children enjoyed the stay The road from the property towards Lyme Regis is very narrow with no passing places for considerable distances which is a bit of a disadvantage

"We found the house perfect for our family holiday."
We had 4 generations of our family and they all enjoyed the facilities. One minor missing element was a high chair as we had a one year old with us.

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your magnificent house."
Our only suggestion is to add more information to the instruction book. We found the link to use aga didn’t work. We had no idea where our bin was for dog poo. And more information on controlling hot water and central heating would be useful .

"Lovely, large space for our family group celebrating my birthday."
Our grandchildren cried at having to go home which confirms they loved the weekend here. Plenty of space and games for them to enjoy.

"We had an amazing family holiday at the Red House."
We made lots of memories, relaxed and enjoyed all the facilities it provided.The space was incredible and great value for money. The location was beautiful, quiet and the views were stunning. We did lots of walking and it was a nice walk down to the beach. The host was very accommodating and friendly, we will definitely be returning. Thanks for a lovely stay.

"Thank you for providing us with a superb property and base for our family holiday, the house was more than adequately kitted out for the number of us and with so much much space and a great many things to enjoy and keep us busy."
We loved the grass tennis court area it was great for football, tennis and the dog. The croquet set was put to good use and was also much fun. With the gym, hot tub and sauna to use too it was all we could have wanted and also had the bonus of lots of lovely walks into Lyme Regis to enjoy what was on offer in the Town. For us it was a perfect location and I think we will be returning in the future.

"Lovely property, really well equipped and a fantastic place to stay with our big multi generation family group from aged 1 to mid seventies (and a dog)!"
Great walks nearby, Lyme Regis was sunny and glorious to visit, but the huge outside BBQ, hot tub and huge lawn area to play lawn games on (we brought some) also made the house a great place to come back to and spend time.
Thank you . We are purchasing a badminton set so guests don’t need to bring their own equipment . Property Owner

"A wonderful stay in Red House, it’s a lovely location with a beautiful walk down into Lyme."
The house is well equipped and the owner was easily contactable despite being in America and navigating time zones. We would definitely go back.

"We felt so lucky to have this property for a long weekend."
It’s enormous and they’ve thought of everything. The hot tub and sauna are fantastic. Great property for all ages and large groups, enough space to not feel on top of each other and room to share moments.
