A bit dated inside with few noticeable marks on carpets and plasterwork, damp behind kitchen door, etc. Plus there was nothing in the Lyme Bay holidays listings suggesting the property had shared access and kind of a shared garden space including shared access to the street below via smugglers run. Plus I think the rear of the fossil shop was underneath the sitting room, as during the daytime we could hear tools being used and talking, but was very quiet and peaceful at night once the fossil shop closed for the day. Just the listing doesn't mention any of the above. Don't get us wrong, the stay was great, we had a great break and the property had a charm about it. Just location if we'd of known would not be our usual choice, as we prefer more privacy and own garden, access, etc. Property was just a little on the tired side, but had everything we needed for a comfortable break. There was also a locked glazed door at bottom of inner stairway, which we could not work out where it led. When we called Lyme Bay Holidays to ask what the said door was, they could not say. We reckon it's an old entrance but not sure.

Itâs well equipped, extremely comfortable and spotlessly clean. The location is perfect, tucked away but minutes from town. Perfect.

Clean, cosy. Comfortable and spacious. Great location and parking a bonus. Welcome bag a lovely gift on arrival. Would definitely return and highly recommend. Would just perhaps advise to expand the instructions for the new TV as took a while to get to grips with. Likewise the heating system. We got there in the end but with a bit of time spent working it out.
