Guests say
Guests have found 51 Fernhill Heights to be a well-equipped, comfortable, and stylish holiday cottage with a great location for exploring Charmouth and Lyme Regis. The property boasts lovely views, quiet surroundings, and convenient parking. While some minor maintenance issues were noted, the overall experience has been very positive, with many guests expressing a desire to return.
The property generally appears to be well-maintained, with only a single mention of cleaning under the settee being overlooked. This suggests a high standard of cleanliness throughout, although not perfect.
The location is frequently praised for being perfect, quiet, and offering easy access to local towns and coast. However, one review mentioned it was further from Charmouth than expected, which could be a minor inconvenience for some.
The beds are described as comfortable and the property as very comfortable overall. However, there are comments about the beds being low and the blinds difficult to operate, which indicates some room for improvement in comfort for all guests.
Facilities are generally well-received, with a well-stocked kitchen and effective downstairs shower. However, issues with a rusty kitchen drainer, poor water pressure in the upstairs bathroom, and steep backyard steps without a handrail have been noted.
There are no specific mentions of gifts or special thoughtful touches provided by the host, so it is not possible to assess this category accurately. Therefore, the score is set to null.

I will not be using Skyes again after many good holidays, due to your new computer system as I prefer the old way ie ring up and talk to person .

. It was lovely and quiet, stylishly furnished and contemporary. We felt there were a few negatives. The beds, although very comfortable, are low and not ideal for those of us less sprightly. The blinds on the velux windows were very difficult to pull up or down. We found it easier to leave the blinds closed then battle to open them! The water pressure in the upstairs bathroom was very poor. The shower wasn't much more than a trickle. That said, the downstairs shower was very effective. In the back yard, the steps are very steep and no handrail, so are a bit tricky. The hotel pool, although not managed by the owner of the accommodation, is very tired and the water had lots if debris, so was a bit disappointing. Just something to be aware of as the accommodation info highlights the availability of the pool.
