Jane
Overall the house and garden and location were great - very comfortable, spacious and thoughtful touches like bed guard and toddlers steps and seats for the toilets. We definitely would like to stay again. Some issues need addressing : faulty oven door; light switch in basement gave shocks; cushions for outdoor seating were left in the rain; window in single bedroom needed safety locks like other bedroom windows. Recycling facility would have been good.

Plenty of storage space, comfortable sofas and beds and everything we needed for quite a lot of cooking. Particularly liked the very large teacups and saucers. The children loved the basement play area and also the top floor bedrooms. The house exceeded our expectations. Thank you.

It is a lovely period property with plenty of space, very well equipped kitchen, lovely comfortable beds and a stunning garden. The dressing up box and books were a lovely homely touch too. The location is brilliant for exploring and the bus to Lyme very easy. We loved the fish and chips, the local bakery and of course the beach even though the weather wasnât that kind! As others have said, the driveway / access are a bit challenging but we managed and could park on the road if you didnât want to tackle it. We felt the sofas could do with a replacement / wash of the covers and a small welcome pack wouldâve been lovely (as we have had at other properties). The hot water was also off when we arrived - not a big problem to us but wouldâve been nice to arrive after a long journey and have a shower. A really lovely house for our multi generational family - thank you!
