The owner has gone to great lengths to make sure that our stays are everything we could possibly hope for, and Lyme Bay Holidays are super-efficient.

Spectacular views and the owners personal touches made it very special and homely. It is very well equipped and there was nothing we needed. The tap in the kitchen has a drip which needs attention but this no way spoilt our holiday. The goodies and milk were a welcome extra, thank you.
