Guests say

Little Gem in Lyme Regis is highly praised for its cleanliness, modern amenities, and stunning views. Guests appreciate the convenient location, proximity to the beach, and the added bonus of parking. The property is described as comfortable and well-equipped, though some minor maintenance issues are noted. The welcome pack is a delightful touch, adding to the overall positive experience of the stay.

The property consistently receives high marks for cleanliness, with multiple reviews mentioning its well-kept and clean condition. Only one mention of mould in the shower slightly detracts from an otherwise excellent record.

The location is highly regarded for its excellent views and proximity to local amenities and the beach. The hill is noted but does not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback about the location.

Comfort is generally well-received, with mentions of a good shower and comfortable living space. However, some guests noted issues with bed height and comfort, as well as an uncomfortable settee, which slightly lowers the score.

Facilities are mostly appreciated, especially the well-equipped kitchen and parking. However, there are several comments about maintenance issues such as the need for a washing machine, small pans, and WiFi problems, which suggest room for improvement.

The welcome pack is frequently mentioned and appreciated, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed, guests should consider this a pleasant addition rather than an expectation.

The delightful seaside town of Lyme Regis has much to offer its visitors, boasting a maze of narrow streets filled with craft and antique shops, galleries and cafes. Take a stroll along the world-famous Cobb causeway overlooking the ancient harbour, where fishing trips can be enjoyed, or try your hand at fossil hunting in the area. The scenic coastal path offers excellent walking opportunities and spectacular views of the stunning Jurassic coast, whilst the gently shelving sands and sparkling waters of Lyme Bay provide the perfect place in which to relax and unwind. A holiday destination to savour!

    They are somewhat shabby and I wondered what we'd come too! Also don't be put off by the masking tape around the internal window frames....assume they were there to stop drafts? Other than that the flat itself, once inside was lovely, it was very clean and had everything we needed. It looked as tho it hadn't long been renovated. The welcome pack was a lovely touch. Would highly recommend this property. Loved sitting in the bay window with a coffee looking at the views. It was quite close to the beach. The free parking at Netflix on the TV were a bonus Just one point to note there is no external light in the porch which made it difficult to get the key in the lock after dark and I stumbled over the step just outside the door.

    It would also be useful to put the Flat number on the info that is sent out. Everything else was great - apart from the walk up the hill when you been at the beach all day! Not sure you can do much about that! Great stay though, enjoyed every minute of it.

    A lovely welcome pack was provided and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. To improve it would be good to have more than 1 key to the property or to fix the intercom buzzer, to prevent having to go downstairs to the front door to let another family member in.
