We loved the location and the view - it was stunning- a short walk into town and down to the harbour. We loved the beds and the pillows (the duvets could have been bigger for the beds) but we all slept well. We have two teenagers and one slept on the bed ledge and was comfortable. The facilities were lovely and we loved the comfy sofas for resting after lots of walks. (We could have done with a few more drinking glasses.) The location is lovely we walked, with our very excited dog, to Monmouth Beach and walked along the ammonite pavement at low tide - which was amazing. We also took a short drive to Charmouth beach and collected sea glass.

I appreciated the welcome pack and that i had a request to the owner who kindly met my needs. My only criticism is the Lyme bay cleaners are what I call surface cleaners they donât clean behind things or move furinture. The bedding was spotless and the bathrooms . The garden needs attention the lawn wasnât cut. However I loved my stay and would love to stay again and was hoping to in September but alas no availabilityâ
