  Whilst the view was excellent and the accommodation was clean and warm I do feel in other areas it lacks any attention to detail.

  The very little armchairs in the lounge area are more for children and we're uncomfortable after a short while.the sofa was hard and upright again very uncomfortable and for the money that we paid we expected a much more luxury there was no where we could snuggle up in comfort all furniture was mismatched ..the odd side table that was there was old and badly stained and marked there was a big stain on the rug and marks over the dining table . The bed dipped in the middle making it again very uncomfortable so our sleep wasnt great think it needs a support in the middle ...We expected a TV in the bedroom again for the money it lacked any attention and I feel that it's just sold for the view. The kitchen was well stocked although had no carving knife or potato masher . The bathroom was very nice with a good shower . I do think also you should be more open about the mission that you have to go through to get to the accommodation I knew there would be steps but from the beach door there are 40 steps some very steep very uneven and at times slippery also from the town side the little alley way is uneven and precarious we are quite a fit couple but struggled getting our luggage up and down and whilst there is a parking space it's a five minute drive away but a good ten minute walk which again you couldn't park and take your luggage from there this isn't stated in any literature about the accommodation. Also you charge Christmas holiday prices for the flat but apart from the welcome pack which I know is standard in your let's there was no effort made to make it welcoming for the holiday season. It was very disappointing and I believe if you are charging extra because its Christmas extra effort should be made . We tried everywhere to get a tree but we were unable too . So overall yes the view is stunning but all the attention to detail is missing and it lacked any care any comfort or luxury . I would not stay here again as we have stayed in better more comfortable welcoming accommodation for far less money .

  It's a nice property, excellent facilities, good parking, great location for exploring Lyme Regis.

  Description is accurate, directions to the property are clear. We would stay here again. Some detailed feedback for the owner... The hallway cupboard door doesn't close. This is very annoying as you're walking past it all the time. The blankets over the sofas are coarse and could be replaced with something a bit softer/nicer. There was a "wet dog" smell on arrival that took us a couple of days to pin down - it's the living room curtains. Not sure when they were washed last, or if they were hung back up wet and have gone a bit fusty. I'd be tempted to replace them. They are also quite difficult to close without pulling them quite hard, and sooner or later someone will tear them. It's hard to reach the middle ones without climbing around the table so something with a pull cord at the side would be a good investment. An oval table would give better /easier access to the wooden seats at the back and might make the room feel a bit bigger. The kick board under the fridge looks like it has been kicked and could do with some minor maintenance. Controls for the towel rail and the underfloor heating in the bathroom are complicated (even with the instructions) and a lot of people won't be able to fathom them out and just won't bother, which is a shame. Tenants might be happier with just an on/off button. One of the control panels is a bit loose. Excellent labelling of sockets and switches. Electric car charging points over the road are a benefit that a lot of people are looking for and should be called out in the listing.

  The location is great, right in the centre of the town, and the beds and bedding were very comfortable.

  The central heating was effective and the shower good. The cottage is clearly someone's personal holiday home that is let out, rather than solely a holiday property, and this means that there are a lot of personal items there (which gives it character), but it also means that it is not designed, equipped and managed in the way a dedicated holiday place might be. The sofa and armchairs are well used (and a bit broken!) and the kitchen and equipment are a bit haphazard. For example, there are 4 x stove top coffee percolators, 3 x cafetieres and 2 x large teapots but no jugs and 1 really small oven dish with no lid. There are 5 x steamer baskets, a fish scaler and a fish kettle, but no simple kitchen scales and only one small saucepan with a lid! The woodburning stove door doesn't shut properly so you can't keep a fire in without roaring it (and getting through a lot of fuel), which isn't helped by the fact that the grate had been cleaned out totally, so there was no ash base on which to burn wood - coal needs a clean base so it gets air underneath, but wood needs to burn on a bed of ash. We got through 3 bags of wood trying to get a decent base. Overall, it's a nice cottage and the quirks and omissions would be 'part of the charm' if it was your own place, or that of a friend or family, but we have had much better cottages at this price point.

  Great apartment with the most wonderful views.

  We were able to park up on the Main Street to unload/pack up and had no issues with paths and steps as we found it all well explained in the description and before arrival. Car garage easy to find and only a short walk away, can imagine this to be invaluable in high season. Thank you for the kind welcome gift full of goodies, all enjoyed and most appreciated. Such a great position, nothing in the town was more than a 10 minute easy stroll away and we thoroughly enjoyed a number of great bars and restaurants that Lyme Regis has to offer. We forgot to put our note in the suggestion box which were really minor suggestions which would have been a bonus but did not detract in anyway from our enjoyment (larger bath sheets or bath robes, nicer cutlery and maybe a set of binoculars to watch out to sea) The little balcony with the most perfect view, sliding bedroom wall, access to the beach, town position and overall comfort and cleanliness of this apartment make it worth its gold award. Hope to return.

  Naunton cottage needs a really thorough clean, every corner/ under furniture/ moving a dining chair from under the table revealed dirt and dust.

  It hasn’t had a thorough clean in a long time. The front entrance smells strongly of urine despite me cleaning it several times. The paint in the bathroom continually rains a fine dust of white paint over everything- you have to see it to believe it - but I’m sure you are already aware. It was constantly covering towels, and clothing we were drying on the towel warmer and toiletries. Inhaling fine paint is hazardous to health and not something I was happy about exposing my two children to. Finally only two chairs for outside despite being a family of four. I tried to complain during our stay, only to be pointed to Sykes after our stay ended. I have asked for a partial refund I feel so strongly about the condition of the property. We will be holidaying again in the area but at this point it’s unlikely to be with Lyme Bay / Sykes as no one as yet, has acknowledged the situation.
