“We had a lovely stay.”
The location is amazing and is local to the beach, a great pub (the three horseshoes) and plenty of walks. We stayed with our 2 year old and 2 month old. The master bedroom is big enough to fit a travel cot and my 2 year old slept in a double bed. The door handles are high enough that he couldn’t leave the room which was good as no stair gate.
The kitchen was well equipped and we received a lovely welcome pack, but there were no basic items provided such as, olive oil, salt, pepper, dishwasher tablets, or washing machine tablets. We had to keep our 2 year old out when cooking as the Agar gets hot to touch, but this wasn’t a problem and the sun room had plenty of space for him to play with his toys.
We really enjoyed our time at the property and the village it’s located in is very quaint. We would definitely return again!
Thank you very much for your feedback, we are pleased that you enjoyed your stay. My partner and I have only just begun letting Stable Cottage so all feedback is most welcome.
I am sorry that there were no basic grocery items provided, we questioned this with Lyme Bay holidays and were advised that since Covid nothing could be left. I have spoken to them again and we have agreed that we can leave some basic grocery items as long as we check the dates.
I note your comment about a stair gate and we will look for one that does not have to be permanently fitted.
We look forward to you returning.
Best wishes
Elise and Roger
