very restful with the best views. A great place to work from when needed. And make sure to have a sauna and swim on the beach! The little enclosed garden is beloved by our dog. Our second time and not our last!

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.
