Very well placed apartment. Even with no outside space the beautiful gardens are just over the road to walk the dog. The welcome pack was yummy. Lyme Regis has a lot to offer and this is a convenient base. We managed to find parking on the street for free not far away. Negatives - The bed is probably due to be replaced. Very creaky and uncomfortable. A side light by the bed would also be nice to be able to read in bed and not have to get up to switch the light off.

The lounge and bedroom were a nice size. The kitchen was well equipped. It was handy having the hot towel tail in the bathroom to dry towels and costumes off. So close to the shops and car park, just an excellent location. Quite quiet. The table with 4 chairs was brilliant. I would definitely recommend. Lots of extra bedding ans towels in the wardrobe. Just a few negatives - Not very pretty inside so I wouldnât say it was somewhere to spend lots of time in. The sofa and carpet in the lounge were pretty uninspiring. Needed some storage in the bedroom, there was no where to unpack. It definitely needed more lamps to make it lighter and cosier and some of the walls needed repainting as cracks were appearing but for the price it really was an excellent bolt hold for Dorset adventurers!
