Perfect for six adults, baby and dogs! Brilliant location, great parking (a rarity in town centre and as we stayed in Lyme, we didnât have to move the cars at all), beautifully maintained and equipped, lots of nooks and crannies to escape to if needed! Bedrooms lovely and beds comfortable. Lounge and kitchen/diner great places to congregate. En-suites great, shower arrangement in small bathroom could be enhanced, maybe a screen to prevent it turning into a wet room?! But no real complaints, an excellent property - we loved it.

Clean and well equipped, and one of the best âWelcome Packsâ weâve seen since before Covid. The only slight negative (and it is a very minor niggle) is that the WiFi signal around the property could be better - perhaps some repeaters upstairs and in the front living room to overcome the thick brick walls?

This was regardless of age (age of those in holiday range from 20âs through to 80âs - 3 generations). Another tv would help perhaps in kitchen.
