The goody bag was a nice touch as after a 4 hour drive we welcomed a cuppa, so the teabags, milk and biscuits provided was welcomed. The shower is great, very powerful and lots of hot water. The bed is comfy. Dogs are permitted. The negatives - Overwhelming smell of damp. Mold growing on the straps of the fire blanket. Sofa bed very uncomfortable, ended up sitting on the floor. Bedroom wall runs with condensation which meant if you brushed against the wall paint came off on clothing. Most of the sockets don't work. Rust on dishwasher and door lock. Noise of people upstairs could be heard if they were walking about, using the washing machine etc. Holiday website mentions a garden - this is not the case, the outside space is a carpark. Was not advised that there would be scaffolding around the property or that they would be arriving early to dismantle this. No mention that there the road to the property would be blocked off due to maintenance work. No mention that the property is next to a cinema and patrons have to walk passed the windows and front door to use the cinema toilets. The property is very much in need of some TLC as very tired looking, plaster coming of the walls, moldy and damp. Sad to say that we will not be booking this accommodation again. Have taken photos of comments mentioned if you wish to view these. Felt that we were over charged for the condition of the accommodation.

Very clean apartment but the smell of damp was overwhelming. Plaster coming off wall under radiator in bedroom. Rugs felt damp and the sofa in the lounge was hard and uncomfortable. The overall look of the building was very tired, needs painting. Grass growing out gutters. Damaged car going through entrance, very narrow. Would not return.

Firstly the good stuff : it's centrally located in the town, has parking outside the door (a rarity in Lyme), has a great shower and provides plenty of hot water. And as rental properties go in Lyme, it is one of the less expensive. Now the not so good : it's damp and you can smell this as you walk through the door. It's also chilly. We attempted several times to navigate the instructions on the thermostat, but failed to get the heating to come on. There is no Wifi ! And rightly or wrongly, it's an essential part of life for most people. It's not difficult or costly to provide ! The sofa bed is ok for one person, but sags towards the middle. To be honest, Radium badly needs some TLC. All in all, we enjoyed our weekend, making the most of wonderful Lyme and everything it has to offer, but sadly, we won't be coming back to Radium. Juliet
