  6 Lyme Mews is a lovely flat overlooking the seafront in Seaton, Devon.

  The flat is set over three floors and is extremely well maintained, very comfortable and within walking distance of Seaton Town Centre and Seaton Tramway with on site parking at the back of the flat. There is a large a Tesco store about 1 minute’s walk outside the back door. As this flat sleeps 6 people comfortably with one double bed with on suite shower room on the top floor overlooking the sea, another bedroom with two singles on the top floor and a bedroom with two singles on the first floor wherev5erebiscalso,another bathroom. Also on the first floor is a lovely large sitting room overlooking the sea which is very comfortable and there is a small balcony off this which would be lovely to sit on given the right weather. On the ground floor there is another small sitting room and a very well equipped kitchen and and also another toilet. There is a front door leading to the beach and a back door leading to the parking area and to a large Tesco store just across the road. It is a very god place to stay as it is very easy to get lots of places of interest around the Devon Coast and inland tom Exmoor. We had a wonderful week even though the weather was not brilliant and would definitely stay in this flat again. This flat would suit a family, as long as they are not very young children or two or three sets of adults. Everything you could possibly need is provided including basic food items in the kitchen cupboard and there are plenty of places to eat in and around Seaton. Also, if you do wish to eat in, the flat is well equipped with crockery, cutlery and cooking utensils. The only thing I would say, is that as there are two flights of stairs in the flat, it may not be suitable for people who have difficulty with stairs. I would like to thank the owners of this flat for such a wonderfully well equipped and comfortable flat in a wonderful location with the best parking space we have ever had when staying in a holiday flat and for the cleaners who get the flat immaculate. WD would definitely stay again if we are going to be in this part of Devon..

  By Steven E on 24-May-2018 Lovely House - perfect for big families. Stayed at Knowles House with 5 other family members including elderly parents and a dog. Wonderful house with a terrific garden. Weather was perfect and garden was superb for chilling, sunbathing or even Yoga. Met by the owners who gave us a guided tour and explained everything we needed to know from the heating to the recycling. Lovely clean bedrooms with a twin on the ground floor with its own small lounge area perfect for the elderly who have difficulty with stairs. Layout of the kitchen with the cookers and crockery, separate sink room and a third utility room with large fridge and freezers take some getting used to but no big deal. There’s a standard cooker / low level grill if your not confident with using the Aga. Big flat screen TV in the lounge and plenty of small ones in the bedrooms if your that desperate to watch TV. Showers in the bedrooms were very good and we had no issues with hot water no matter what the time of day. Lovely walk for dog walkers alongside local river one minute from the house. Journeys out to local coastal towns didn’t take long in a car. Make your own mind up about the best ones to visit - we liked Beer but won’t be rushing back to Seaton! Lovely coastal walks between Seaton and Branscombe. Took a local taxi (The very helpful Bert from Seaton Taxi’s who took all 6 of us+ Dog) to the Ship Inn at Axmouth for a couple of evening meals - Quality food, highly recommended - make sure you book. Would definitely recommend this house. Show less Stayed: May 2018 Thank Steven E

  Sea view puts any minor criticism in the shade.

  .. Absolutely brilliant! Minor quibbles: There is a small library of DVDs on the first floor, where the main TV resides along with settee and armchairs, but you can't watch DVDs on that TV... because the DVD PLAYER is on the ground floor in the small study(?) with just a 2-seater settee. The living room TV could be bigger, we had to pull it forward into the centre of the room to avoid eye-strain (settee too heavy to move). Why mention DVDs in such a beautiful setting? Well, we had torrential rain and 40-50 mph winds for the first 5 days... (but we did get to see HMS Queen Elizabeth at anchor in the bay for 24 hours). One caveat: if you are getting on and live in a flat or bungalow, you will struggle with the stairs over 3 floors, especially as the master bedroom (loved the mattress) is on the top floor. Minor issues, as I said, and I would heartily recommend 6 Lyme Mews for a family but, sadly, this 78 year-old flat-dweller will have to give it a miss.

  Reviewed 30 August 2017 Beautiful Victorian Home I stayed at Knowles with 11 family members including my elderly parents and children and it was a wonderful break for all of us. Knowles is a beautiful Victorian home that the owners once lived in with their parents. The house is very comfortable and cosy and each room has been left sympathetic to its origin which we all found lovely. The garden is amazing, the owners employ a gardener who clearly loves the garden as his own and keeps it pristine with beautiful flower beds and even a cottage garden with herbs etc growing in it which we were able to use. We were very lucky with the weather so we chose to stay at the house most days (we usually eat out a lot) but because the garden was so lovely we chose most days to hang around and eat Alfresco. The only negative I can think of is that we left our 2 dogs at home, what a mistake, they would have been in seventh heaven.

  We had 5 generations staying at Knowles over Christmas! The house worked really well for us all, from the downstairs en-suite bedroom with sitting room to all the upstairs bedrooms with en-suites. The owners who live nearby could not be more helpful and friendly. The house retains lots of its original features and although old fashioned in lots of respects it is also well furnished and very comfortable. The beds were wonderful and we all slept well. The kitchens worked well and again really well equipped. Christmas lunch for 11 is no mean feat but again there was an abundance of pots, pans etc, There was so much space inside and out that at no time did we feel crowded. We would highly recommend this house for large families or groups of friends getting together. The garden is wonderful, parking in abundance and the views beautiful. What more can I say?
