Open plan and clean and fresh.The key box was not easy to open. I have used lots, but this was tricky. My husband managed to open it in the end. As it was Christmas I needed to buy a roasting tin as there were no baking trays in the house, only the one tray in the oven. I realised this on Christmas Eve and the wonderful Arthur Ford ironmongers was open! The oven gets hotter at the front so food needs to be turned half way through cooking. The dishwasher didn't clean the crockery well, possibly it was due to the dishwasher tablets provided. Would have preferred a washer dryer over a dishwasher due to getting muddy on dog walks! Good to have parking. The people who live opposite park their car in front of the Old Bakehouse corner space. We just used the right hand Old Bakehouse space. One night another car managed to park diagonally in the corner space which could have made it tricky to reverse our car out. Another night and day there was a car parked in front of the house front door (where the info says not to park). Parking not a problem in Winter, but could be difficult in the busy Summer. Would love to stay here again.

Lyme Regis is a lovely town with much to do and some great restaurants. Baboo Ice Cream rates a special mention. Get some! The radiator in the downstairs loo appears to have a small, slow leak
