  The location of Constantine Bay Cottage is great; beautiful beach/coastline, YHA good for meals, close to Padstow, We’ve stayed at the Ocean Blue complex 4 times before, in different apartments, and been really impressed with all of them.

  However arrival at Constantine Bay Cottage was quite disappointing for the following reasons: 1. Floors hadn’t been cleaned properly- before unpacking we had to hoover the whole house. None of the corners/edges had been hoovered inc a large amount of dog hair in the main bedroom. 2. A used hair elastic was next to the main bed. 3. There was a welcome basket that contained only a used biro and a pot of drawing pins (no joke). When I moved the basket off the window sill there were dead flies underneath. 4. The outdoor area(s) clearly hadn’t been swept for a long time; covered in sand, cobwebs etc. In addition the bench seat was broken. 5. There were crumbs in some cupboards and mould running down the fridge seal. 6. Small thing - in every other self catering property we’ve always been left with a dishwasher tablet and a dish cloth. Nothing here so it was a good job I brought my own cleaning things. Our overall impression was of an uncared for property, yet charging a high price. Either the cleaners aren’t doing their job properly or they aren’t paid for enough time. It was disappointing (and annoying) to arrive and have to do so much cleaning. So, we’ll definitely be back to the Ocean Blue complex but definitely not to this cottage.

  A lovely apartment ideally located - with a parking permit for a car park a few minutes . Lots of positives - very well equipped , good quality furnishings, spotlessly clean. Has dishwasher , washing machine / dryer. Great range cooker - good size fridge. So very easy to self cater ( excellent deli across the road and M and S food hall a few minutes walk away ). Comfy beds. Great size main bathroom and a second en-suite. Really appreciated hypoallergenic bedding was sourced and provided for us. The “ negatives “ ( well the “ what might you want to know “). The great location does come with some noise - the seagulls providing most of it !!! The top bedroom does get warm ( there is a fan provided ) There are quite a few stairs - around 50 from front door to top bedroom The smallish Tv in living area was a bit “ spotty “ and we had to reset a few times. The lounge area is a strange set up sofa wise if there are more than two of you. That can be seen from photos on the webpage. No welcome pack provided ( fine by us but some might expect tea coffee milk to be there on arrival) Would happily recommend and return.

  The apartment is clean and modern with all the facilities you need for a great holiday.

  The views over Towan Beach are wonderful. The secure parking is a real bonus! **The housekeeper Denise deserves a special mention. The boiler stopped working late evening so no hot water. We messaged her at 10pm and next morning she arranged to be round before 8am to sort the problem and ensure we had hot water to start the day. Thank you again to our star plumber! What stopped it being a 5* holiday? The bed in the main bedroom is described as a king size ( made up of twin beds connected) The bed are small singles giving the width of a king size but only standard length reduced by a thick wall mounted headboard and as someone 6’3” tall this meant an uncomfortable sleep with dangling feet. We knew it was height of the season and expected some noise but the apartment is within 100 metres of two bars/pubs playing loud music to 2am or later and the associated noise from revellers thereafter. We tried earplugs but had to close all windows to keep noise out leading to uncomfortable/ difficult sleeping conditions.

  This is a very spacious, bright and very well-furnished apartment located right in the heart of the special town of Lyme Regis.

  The wonderful cafes, bars, restaurants and an array of bakeries and cake shops are on your doorstep. It is so easy to fall out of bed and wonder down to the pretty town beach and take a stroll before enjoying breakfast in one of the excellent and friendly beach-side cafes. The price you pay for this location is that you get the not un-expected noise of the busy town. However, you only have to go up to the master bedroom to have peace and quiet and enjoy the clear views of the sea and the Cobb harbour. from the rear window. The main bedroom has an extremely comfortable king-size bed (not advertised as such incidentally) and is a very relaxing space. The owner and agents are very helpful and understanding and on the last day when painters arrived to refurbish the exterior we were generously compensated for the minor inconvenience.

  The apartment is absolutely stunning and the view is a real wow, we spent a lot of time on the balcony watching the surfers.

  When we arrived the apartment was not up my standard of cleanliness, the floor in the lounge certainly needed hovering, and dust had gathered under the coffee table. The cleaner had left half used toilet paper on the breakfast island which is not something you like to see when first arriving in a property. The washing machine door was found to be broken , Traci answered my text message immediately stating she would be round the following day (that didn't happen) . Some of the cups are chipped so should be replaced. I know this is personal preference but it needs a kettle, the water from the tap is not hot enough to make a cup of tea. Just to make people aware the Walkabout pub is not very far away so you can hear some noise especially at night. Having said that we had a brilliant time and thankyou for the goodies you left us.
