The bedroom drapes didnât work on the pull cords, and one was broken at the top. I had to use a close peg 9 feet off the ground to get them to stay closed. The couches are shedding their faux leather all over the living room. We were provided with only one key, which was problematic for our group of three. The location is fantastic, as we always enjoy everything Lyme Regis has to offer.

Kitchen is good overall , although flooring by the sink is torn and could cause an accident. Fridge shelving is inadquate - shelf to store bottles in door is missing. Shower room is good but reported very poor shower head /water flow on our stay. Delighted this was changed the following day and vastly improved shower facility. Also asked for curtain which was hanging off the rail to be repaired , this was again done the following day. Found the apartment to be a little tired and in need of some TLC , curtains and settees would benefit from replacement as appear quite shabby now. One last comment is that the Owners pay some attention to the entrance - the stairs/windows really need cleaning down and the moss removing from the doorway. This would provide a more welcoming arrival and first impression. Loved Lyme Regis and would recommend a stay as the area, beaches shops, cafes and restaurants are excellent.

This flat was in a great location but it needs attention. The carpets need washing they are filthy and the shower glass is immaculate but the black mould and scum on the bottom needs cleaning out . Also there are cigarette butts and muck on the outside of the door. I understand these are communal stairs but it is quite off putting when yr a non smoker. Sorry guys but on this occasion the accommodation wasnât great I wonât book this again.
