The apartment's cleanliness received mixed reviews. Some guests found it comfortable and well-maintained, while others noted areas in need of a thorough cleaning, particularly the communal entrance and some parts of the apartment.
The location is consistently lauded for being excellent, with easy access to the beach and local facilities. Its prime position is a significant advantage for guests, contributing to a pleasant stay.
Comfort levels are generally good, with a spacious living area and well-equipped kitchen. However, some guests mentioned issues with the mattress and noise, suggesting room for improvement in this category.
Facilities within the apartment are appreciated, but the building's exterior and maintenance issues, such as the balcony and entrance, detract from the overall experience. Renovation work is noted, which could affect future stays.

We utilised the relatively comfortable lounge area instead but would have been nice to enjoy the sunshine on the balcony. Floors & much of the areas were in need of a good wipe down, coffee/tea stains covered the 2 bedside drawers & floor. WC in main bathroom was filthy, the seat was brown/discoloured & needed a good clean or replacing. We left a day early & relieved to arrive in the clean comfort of our own home. All in all, not as expected & sadly unable to recommend in its current state.

Itâs an huge old listed building divided into flats ideally situated behind the trio of beachfront pubs and restaurants. Itâs an iconic building with a lot of historyâ.. The first floor Flat is very spacious with 3 bedrooms .The kitchen has all you need for a family of six including 2 ovens , dishwasher, washing machine and drier , fridge and a freezer .The lounge had a huge squishy sofa and a comfy chair for Grandad .. Grandchildren loved the bunks , mum and dad slept well in double bed and grandparents had the double with en-suite . There is some renovation / building work going on but this was made clear to us at the time of booking . It was planned around our stay and wasnât an issue. We had plenty of storage , constant hot water and lots of towels . We loved waking up to rooftop views over the Cobb . The beach is on your doorstop . We decided to eat lunch at home a few times after seeing flocks of seagulls rob people of their food ! The beady eyed raiders are a protected species - who knew ? We found it useful to use the washing machine and return home with clean clothes - didnât use the tumble dryer, just airer . We used the outside space to sit out which is a lovely wooden balcony strong enough for us all ! . The flat had a huge tv and I cast tv from my phone . There is Roku and Netflix but we were hardly ever in as the Pubs do great food , huge range of gin and beers and deserve your support. The Cabanya carpark is nearest and avoids climbing Cobb road . It has an app where you can extend you booking when you need . We Used this for convenience and we knew it would be about £20 a day . We booked this flat for convenience to the beach and because we knew when the kids went home , we would enjoy the space . Iâve been coming to Lyme my whole life as I had family born here and have now booked many times with Lyme Bay holidays over 20 yrs .Now we are older , we needed somewhere close to the beach so we could come home any time we chose to , with everything on our doorstep . I walked to Tesco and bakeries with out any issues and the welcome pack was lovely . Itâs a lovely apartment and we knew the prices being charged locally . Yes , Lyme Regis is expensive but we Love it and have a history here . If we come to another Fossil festival with family , we would love to stay again . Itâs a lovely apartment .

We frequent Lyme Regis and knew the building before booking, so we knew what to expect from the outside . At the end of the day it was built in the 1800s, but once inside Wow ! Very homely,cosy and well equipped accommodation. The occupants in the flat above and ourselves kept the main front door secured which was reassuring. Parking was an extra expense that we didnât bargain for when we booked but I rented a driveway just up the hill for much less than the car park and the owner kept an eye on our cars. We loved our stay the location is superb. We hope to return in the future . Many thanks Jan Johnson
