“We loved our stay in individual Lavender Cottage, this was our second visit and we’ll be booking again next year.”
We like the position, the little garden + table and parasol, quirkiness of the building and the coolness inside when it was extremely hot. Lavender Cottage is not over “done-up” and much to our taste. LB Holidays provided us with a hair dryer - it would be good if one was provided in the house, and a visitors book would be a welcome addition to get ideas of places and cafes/restaurants to visit.
Hi Elizabeth, thank you so much for your lovely review, we are so thrilled that you enjoy staying in our cottage, we still love and look forward to our visits over 20 years on, I do hope you and your family will visit again.
Re your comment in respect of local places to visit & restaurant recommendations etc, there is a folder in the cottage that Lyme Bay Holidays provide with lots of local info which should help.
