Also very quiet at night. Its a very short distance down to the sea front but its a very steep hill to climb back. Cannot really find anything negative about the property, thoroughly enjoyed the stay

). The tremendous views along the coastline are still outstanding... It would be good if the bedside lights in the main bedroom could have brighter bulbs for reading in bed. We'd also like to thank Lyme Bay Holidays for responding so swiftly and efficiently (within a couple of hours) to sort out our problem with the dishwasher.
