Thank you. We are pleased to hear you had an amazing stay and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
This was a great property, and location, for viewing the surrounding area and walking down the wooded pathway into Lyme Regis. Everything was so relaxed and peaceful.The cottage itself had plenty of character, and we thoroughly enjoyed relaxing, in the late evening, on the upper, open-air Veranda.

Too class
Nice and quiet location but only a short drive from the town and beach, the kitchen facilities were excellent and modern, so I could cook a decent meal as per the photo. Will definitely be booking again very soon

Absolutely Amazing accommodation
The house is absolutely stunning, it has everything you need inside, books, games, TV, dishwasher, coffee machine, it's brilliant for a couple to spend time away from the big city and enjoy the tranquility. Inside on the table, There is plenty of information of local routes to walk to Lyme Regis, local restaurants and places to visit in the area. I can't praise enough how complete this accommodation is, it was just so perfect if you like being in nature and near the coast. The owners live next door and are around if you have any issuesneed anything, they were very accommodating from the start.
