Guests say
The Garden Suite in Lyme Regis is generally praised for its cleanliness, prime location near the sea and local amenities, and comfortable furnishings. Guests appreciate the property's suitability for disabled visitors and pet-friendliness. Some concerns were raised about maintenance issues and the noise from the boiler and footsteps from the floor above.
The property is consistently described as spotlessly clean, with multiple reviews affirming its tidiness. This suggests a high standard of cleanliness maintained throughout.
The location is highly regarded due to its proximity to the sea, harbour, and local amenities. However, some guests mentioned challenges with key collection and parking, slightly affecting the score.
Guests find the beds extremely comfortable and the property roomy, although some noted a noisy boiler and the need for grab rails, which indicates room for improvement in overall comfort.
Facilities are generally good, with a well-equipped kitchen and secure yard area. However, comments about the need for maintenance, such as painting and updating waste bin instructions, suggest some areas could be enhanced.
While guests have mentioned a lovely welcome pack, there is not enough consistent information about thoughtful touches or gifts to accurately score this category. It should be noted that such amenities are subject to change and not guaranteed.

Never really worked out where the garage is, might be a good idea to include a street map with this in the property info book. Giving the cost of parking even in disabled bays could lyme bay holidays not offer as part of the booking cost a weekly parking pass ? Would have been nice to be warned about the disruptive works outside as this made access a challenge for my disabled wife which kind of defeated the choosing of this property being at the bottom of Lyme, also being wakened early by the soothing sounds of a pneumatic hammer very relaxing. Wouldn't normally expect to have to undertake housekeeping duties ( the stripping of beds, collecting towels ) to be our job having paid for a holiday ? maybe rethink this going forwards.
