Bedding good quality but felt towels not penthouse quality, too small and crunchy. Well equipped kitchen although dishwasher left clean but loaded and had no salt or rinse aid in. Unable to work DVD and Wi Fi temperamental, we werenât bothered but others may be. I think description should be more enlightening regarding access to property, again we werenât unduly bothered but there is an awful lot of stairs to reach the penthouse, unpacking the car was hard work although grateful for the parking space. All in all a great few days away, the Penthouse was warm, comfortable and peaceful.

Very clean, cosy and comfortable. We found all we needed for a nice relaxing stay. The views were beautiful and the apartment is just a short walk to the shops and restaurants. There is a beautiful walk down through the gardens to the harbour and beach. We would love to stay again.

We love the comfortable and spacious sitting room, the nice bathroom with shower, the 2 balconies, and the spacious and comfortable bedrooms. We have had another lovely and memorable holiday and love Lyme Regis. We were pleased that the landings and staircases had been painted and stair carpets cleaned; that has really improved the building. Room for improvement: we need and would wish for some storage space for our own food in the kitchen. There is a strong smell of smoke in the living room as if someone has been smoking in there. Suggest the carpet and soft furnishings need cleaning if that is the case
