“Great place.”

We were able to park three cars (Ford Focus-sized).

Thank you for your feedback - we love to hear that guests enjoy Fawley & Lyme as much as we do! And you’re right re the bonus of our three parking spaces, very lucky to have these as parking is premium in Lyme Regis! Property Owner

“We enjoyed our stay.”

The house was spotlessly clean, warm and comfy and the goody bag a very welcome treat, thank you! The parking was a bit tricky because of the awkward camber on the drive but with three cars in total we really appreciated it. Without it parking in Lyme would've been a nightmare! We didn't bring the dogs in the end but the house was very well equipped for them. Only a couple of minor points and suggestions. The curtains in the top double bedroom were very flimsy and kept coming off the rail. Lined curtains would be better at keeping the light out. The dishwasher is far too small: although it's hard to see where a full sized one would fit, it's quite inadequate for the number of guests the house can accommodate. Perhaps a solar light to aid parking at night would have prevented an argument with the low wall when squeezing into the double space! Finally, just a suggestion that it would be nice to have a large oven proof casserole dish - the one provided had plastic handles so we didn't use it - and not every family will eat out/have takeaways every night! Notwithstanding, it was a very comfortable and pleasant house to stay in and if we go back to Lyme again with the dogs we'd book it again.

Thank you for your feedback and it’s great to know that you’ve enjoyed your stay at Fawley. We’ve noted your suggestions and they will help us with future plans. Look forward to seeing you with your dogs next time as there’s some great walks nearby for them to enjoy! Property Owner

“Fawley is a well presented,clean and comfortable property, and well equipped apart from that there was no freezer.”

“Overall we thought the property was clean but fell short of expectation on comfort.”

There was not enough loo roll to last the stay, the lack of black out blinds made sleeping difficult, the dishwasher was tiny for an 8 person house as was the freezer facility. Everything felt like it had been done to the minimum. I wasn't very impressed.

- Liz, May 2024

Thank you for taking the time to feedback on your recent stay as it helps us to shape any future plans. Having been assessed by Lyme Bay/Sykes prior to listing (who also wrote the advert), we went the extra step of paying for an independent inspection. Both of these inspections graded Fawley comfortably within the category it sits. Also making note of the number of “wonderful extras provided” such as the air fryer, jacuzzi bath, gaming console, smart TV and smart speaker etc. We don’t list as having black out blinds/curtains but have noted your concerns about them along with the other matters raised. We appreciate your feedback and hope that you enjoyed visiting Lyme Regis. Property Owner

“I wasn’t going to respond to this but you have sent a couple of reminders.”

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely property in an excellent location. However our stay was spoilt by the shower over the bath being out of action. We reported the leak and the maintenance man planned to seal what was the wrong area, we pointed out that the problem was actually a badly fitted bath requiring more than just sealant patching. It was causing water leakage into both the downstairs bedroom & kitchen dining area. We did not want to cause anymore damage so agreed we would just use the en-suite shower but wanted to keep use of the bath for our 2 year old grandson. We did expect that we would be suitably compensated for this but we’re offered an extra night in a property they were obviously having problems letting given the number of free weeks available and the large reductions of £300+ they were making. I did expect that we would get a compensation offer at least equal to that but we only received a small offer which we decided to take as better than nothing. We were disappointed as we thought we were being helpful to the owners in trying to avoid greater problems in what is a great property for a holiday.

- Christopher, April 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. It is great to hear that you loved the location of the property. We really appreciated you bringing the shower sealant issue to our attention mid way through your stay. We can only apologise that you had trouble with it but we can confirm that the owner has personally ensured that this issue has been rectified now. It was a shame that you did not allow our maintenance facilities to remedy the sealant during your stay as it was a simple fix and would have avoided your distress. As the bath, along with the other bathroom was fully functional for the rest of your stay, the compensation offered reflected this. The owner did also offer an extra night free of charge as a gesture of goodwill but we understand that your other commitments prevented you from accepting this offer. The property is in its first year of renting and is steadily building up its booking levels from scratch. Thank you again for your consideration during your stay. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner

“Wonderful house, ample parking for two large cars, (both cars over 2 metres wide we let the passengers out on the drive then parked up).”

The house is at the top of a hill so its a very pleasant walk down to the Cobb or Town, quite a hill back up. But this is expected in Lyme Regus! (we had our 90 year old mother in law with us and she managed the hill!). The house has all you need and quite homely no complaints. The micro wave is a little high as some other people have remarked but we found this no problem. Our only suggestion it would be advantageous to have a non slip mat in the main bath room bath for when taking a shower. To sum up we had a wonderful time there.

- Clive, March 2024

Great to hear that you’ve enjoyed Fawley, and your time in Lyme Regis. Very impressed with your mother in law, it must be the sea air! Good tip re the bath mat, so that’s noted. Hope to see you again soon. Property Owner
Chloe February 2024

“Lovely stay, loved the house and it was very well presented and clean.”

Amazing location, would definitely book again. The only thing I would say is the parking advertised was for 2 cars, this would need to be 2 small cars, we have 2 larger vehicles and only 1 would fit. Lots of residential parking near by and a large car park so this was not an issue for us. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

- Chloe, February 2024

We are so happy that you’ve all enjoyed your stay and appreciate your positive feedback. It is such a great location for all that Lyme has to offer. Apologies if the parking wasn’t clear in the guest book, however we also have the space opposite the drive next to Dads boat. So parking for two vehicles shouldn’t be a problem. We have clearer signage to put up once the boat goes and will then have three spaces. But in the meantime we will make the parking notes in the guest book clearer also! We look forward to seeing you guys in Lyme again soon! Property Owner

“Beautiful beach walks with the family.”

Relaxing in the property with everyone. Meandering around the lovely independent shops in Lyme. A beautiful property with plenty of room for everyone and spotlessly clean. Parking was great and so valuable. Thank you!

Saerah October 2023

“A lovely property.”

Very homely. Microwave positioned in a dangerous place. Safer on the counter. A comfortable chair overlooking the garden would be great. Armchair would be great in the lounge too. Would definitely recommend this property to a friend. Many thanks for a lovely stay .

- Saerah, October 2023

Many thanks for your feedback and we’re glad that you’ve enjoyed your stay and would recommend our property. Great idea re the chairs, we’ve already enjoyed the additional seating, especially looking out onto the garden! Property Owner

“Fantastic Fawley, what an amazing property.”

Spotlessly clean and well appointed. Nice and quiet location, ideal for walking into town, beach, harbour front and coastal path. The Town Mill Bakery do an excellent brunch. Hope to be back soon. Thanks to the owners for a well thought out and first class property.
