Beautifully decorated, stylish and cosy, the owners have thought of everything you could need in a holiday home. The garden is completely secure so our dog had the freedom to potter about and the parking space is a real bonus in Lyme Regis. Great communication via the agents (we smashed a small pot and were told not to worry) very easy access to property We would love to return and would definitely recommend.

We noticed some further improvements this time and so we are delighted that the owners are not being complacent. The weather was fantastic too and so for the first time we enjoyed the seating in the pleasant garden every day.

Lovely contemporary style makes this a relaxing place to return to after a day out. The two bathrooms are a treat.
