    “Nice property but let down on some things.”

    The first thing we had to do was open all the windows as it smelled fusty, like sweaty socks. That didn't work so we had to buy some air freshener. The downstairs toilet had been left unflushed and the kettle in the kitchen had been left half full of water. Something in the bathroom gave me an allergic reaction each time I went in but I couldn't pinpoint what - my wife was unaffected and it is usually her that is sensitive with allergies. Bed in main bedroom very comfortable but sleep ...

    The first thing we had to do was open all the windows as it smelled fusty, like sweaty socks. That didn't work so we had to buy some air freshener. The downstairs toilet had been left unflushed and the kettle in the kitchen had been left half full of water. Something in the bathroom gave me an allergic reaction each time I went in but I couldn't pinpoint what - my wife was unaffected and it is usually her that is sensitive with allergies. Bed in main bedroom very comfortable but sleep disturbance due to street light opposite shining through the curtains. (We have black out curtains at home). Location in cul-de-sac is very quiet apart from the Monday morning seagulls very noisily screeching whilst attacking and emptying the food waste bins which woke us early. Single bed in front bedroom noisy when moving about. Marks on carpet in main bedroom. Not impressed with the plethora of tissue boxes with notes stuck on them saying to refill and recycle. Unhygienic to do that and perhaps only one box might have been left as they only cost 59 pence in Aldi. Property was clean, otherwise but, unnecessarily, let down by the above.

    We are disappointed to hear that your stay was not all that you expected. In trying to maintain our high standards, on the Monday before your visit, we hired a brand-new carpet cleaner to clean both bedroom and hall carpets. This was completed that day and the house was both heated and ventilated for the 3 days before your arrival. Apologies for the state of the downstairs cloakroom, but we shall address this issue with the Lyme Bay housekeeping team. Regarding blackout curtains, these are available in bedroom 2 at the back for those who find difficulties with outside lights, which in the case of the street light goes out just after midnight By choosing the property that is within 2 miles of the coast, seagulls are likely to be heard occasionally. The single bed in the front bedroom has a brand-new mattress, so noise will not be a problem Property Owner

The property

A detached holiday home quietly situated in the small, historic town of Colyton. Located in an area of outstanding natural beauty and within easy distance for enjoying the World Heritage Jurassic Coast and the nearby beach resorts of Seaton and Lyme Regis. Recently refurbished, this delightful three bedroom property benefits from an attractive landscaped garden to the rear, with comfortable seating, a small lawn and a summerhouse, which make the most of its elevated position. Woody View borders on the edge of the Community Woodland and enjoys some pretty countryside views. Famous as the home of the Monmouth Rebellion, Colyton is seeped with local history and offers three traditional pubs, a choice of local restaurants and tea rooms, general convenience stores, a butcher, chemist and attractions. Opposite the front of the property, there is a public footpath that leads uphill to the most spectacular view of the locality and picnic spot. Local facilities include a large playing field at the bottom of the close, (5 minutes walk) with free additional parking, children’s play equipment and tennis courts. Pizza van visits on Tuesday evening. Just a five minute drive or twenty minute tram ride along the Axe Estuary is Seaton, a traditional Devon seaside town with beach and harbour, situated midway between Lyme Regis and Sidmouth. Woody View provides very good quality accommodation and with the gas "woodburner" style stove a wonderfully relaxing retreat at any time of the year. Perfect as a base for walking holidays, the area is criss-crossed with public footpaths and nearby Seaton Wetlands is worthy of a visit to enjoy nearly 4 km of level trails and boardwalks through beautiful marshland and reed beds alongside the River Axe. The seaside fishing villages of Beer and Branscombe are 3 miles away and with the regency towns of Sidmouth and Lyme Regis only 8 miles away, it is ideally located to enjoy this picturesque part of the Devon/Dorset border. Please note: This property does not accept children under 5.

About the location

Seaton 2.8 miles; Lyme Regis 6.9 miles.

Situated in East Devon, Colyton is a small town with its roots dating back to 700 AD. Situated around three miles from Seaton and six miles from Axmouth, Colyton has many links to its past with numerous historical buildings, such as St Andrew’s Church, and its winding lanes with independent shops. Good food and a warm welcome are on offer at the many inns. Colyton's tram station will provide you with an enjoyable ride alongside the River Axe to Seaton, where you can stop off to relax upon Seaton Beach, tour Beer Quarry Caves, or enjoy a leisurely afternoon strolling through Seafield Gardens. The picturesque villages of Colyford, Southleigh, Northleigh and Farway lie nestled in the heart of the Coly Valley and are always a good day out, where you can explore the woodlands and valleys across the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Holyford Woods Local Nature Reserve, and Seaton Wetlands.
