Unfortunately we’ve been unable assess this category comprehensively enough based on the reviews we’ve received from guests about this property.
The property is in a great location, with guests enjoying the nearby river walks to Lyme Regis and the proximity to beautiful beaches. The peaceful surroundings have been appreciated, contributing to a relaxing holiday experience.
The comfort of the property is generally well-regarded, with mentions of a great bed and a cosy atmosphere. However, some guests noted the lack of a shower curtain and grab rails, and issues with a sticking front door, which slightly impacted the overall comfort.
Facilities have received mixed feedback. Guests have enjoyed the kitchen and 'chilling' area, but there are several comments about maintenance needs, such as upgrading the bathroom, fixing the oven, and addressing the exterior wood staining. These issues suggest room for improvement in facilities and maintenance.
A welcoming pack was mentioned, indicating a degree of thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not consistently referenced and their provision is not guaranteed, this score reflects the limited information available.

The beautiful countryside surrounding the village of Uplyme, on the borders of Devon and Dorset, is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, criss-crossed by bridleways and footpaths including the East Devon Way, and providing perfect country walks and superb views. The area was chosen by TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall for his River Cottage HQ at Park Farm, where you can treat yourself to a great meal. Just a short drive takes you to the stunning Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis. This delightful historic seaside town boasts a maze of narrow streets, with an interesting array of shops and cafes, whilst the sandy beach lends itself to great bathing and watersports, and the bustling little harbour offers regular fishing trips, or try your hand at fossil hunting. Within an easy drive is the quaint town of Axminster, or how about a ride on the Seaton Tramway? A glorious location for a varied and interesting holiday.
