Bifold doors still difficult to open and close as reported in previous reviews. Also blind pully in bedroom broke, also previously reported. Apartment very well situated and equipped but the price charged we would expect better. Did look at booking for next July starting on the 4th but cannot justify the £1600 fee.

Com, it was a pleasure to deal with the helpful team at Lyme Bay Holidays and Sykes. They were friendly, polite and helpful. The apartment was fabulous.

The location is great and the owners can do nothing about noise but there is a bar close by that had very loud music and singing until 11pm. As others have mentioned in their reviews, there are persistent maintenance issues. The blind in the bedroom is broken. The doors are extremely difficult to open. To be required to strip your bed is odd and we could not find the location of the bins so had to carry our rubbish out with us. The apartment is very comfortable, very well located and has everything you need for a self catering property but for the price it should not have maintenance issues repeatedly raised to the owners and not addressed. Would not recommend the apartment if you want peace and quiet but this is not the owners issue.
