We really enjoyed our weekend stay in the cottage. It was very welcoming and the owner who we met was very friendly and helpful. It had everything we needed, was clean and comfortable and totally quiet and peaceful. We would stay again if in the area.

The Lodge was ideal for us to get away and relax. It was warm and cosy, everything in the kitchen was easy to use and accessible. The Lodge was ideal for our two dogs as is very near some lovely dog walks and Lyme Regis beach only 15 minutes away. Sharon was a friendly and helpful host and we would definitely return and stay here again.

The owner was friendly and tried to be helpful. This was a disappointing holiday let compared with other 4 star holiday cottages on holiday cottages.com. The lounge/diner/kitchen was very small. The dishwasher wasn't working and the TV was intermittent. The double bed was uncomfortable and worn for one person and the utility was reached through theRead more bedroom. The two showers worked well with ample hot water. Sadly it also rained all week! Hide

Lovely property in beautiful location- needs some slight alterations to make it an accessible property - e.g shower tray too high & loose stone outside not wheelchair friendly. Other than that its a well kept & maintained property & a right little sun trap. We had occasion to speak with the owners who are really lovely people.

Clean, comfortable, good TV and wi-fi reception. Good cooking facilities and perfectly adequate parking for 2 cars (although we had only one). Bathrooms were good with excellent showers. Various useful books and leaflets available but hidden in a large black box which we only decided to look into on our lst day. A pointer to it might be useful.
