“We loved staying at your property.”

I can clearly see you care and wasted no effort in creating a beautiful place. We are more than happy to come back and stay there. One very minor thing I’d like to mention is that the coffee in the welcome pack wasn’t good. It’s a shame everything else was amazing. It tasted rancid but this is not your fault. Other than that, we are a very happy customer.

“I must admit that we were worried about staying in a chalet in the autumn but it was very cosy.”

The chalet was well equipped and clean and the perfect place to get away from it all. Wonderful views across Lyme Bay and beyond.

Brian October 2024

“Lovely location,we both enjoyed our stay as did our Welsh terrier Nelly.”

A reading light in the main bedroom would have been useful and after dark there is no street lighting if walking to a restaurant .However it did not spoil a very happy few days for us.

“We loved our Stay at Ammonite, we are a family of 4 (kids 4-7) it was the perfect size for four nights, super cosy and comfortable.”

The location is beautiful overlooking the sea. You can never get enough of that. The property itself was extremely clean and it has everything you might need for a relaxing stay. It was lovely and we enjoyed it so much

Lucy August 2024

“As soon as we arrived at ammonite we felt at home.”

The chalet is beautifully set up and the decor is lovely. The location is perfect and we had a fabulous week. There are so many little touches that made the stay perfect for us and for our dog. We are ready looking at returning next year. It’s a beautiful retreat.

Janette July 2024

“It was a pleasure to stay at Ammonite , such a well equipped ,tastefully appointed, conveniently situated chalet.”

The attention to detail was so good and the generous Welcome pack was greatly appreciated. The completely secure decking area was a bonus ,as we were able to leave the doors open without the fear or our miniature dachshund taking himself for a walk!Despite very unfriendly weather, we enjoyed our stay, Thank you.

“Lovely chalet and perfect sea views.”

We really enjoyed our stay and the property is equipped with excellent cooking facilities. The inside decor has a sea theme and there is a lovely table and chairs outside for eating. The only real problem for us was that we had no internet for our stay. We reported the problem on the first day once we had tried to reboot and do all the obvious things. We were hoping for a resolution but none came during our stay. Apart from that, we reported a problem with the bathroom fan which was fixed instantly by Andy the maintenance man. I informed the company that the internet had not been fixed and I hope it will be available for the next visitors.

“Quite simply this is a wonderful property to stay on, especially I think for two adults and their furry friend.”

Extremely clean and comfortable with all equipment you could need. Gorgeous views and the constant sound of the sea. We would happily have stayed longer. Plus the car space is always an added bonus! Thank you, we had a lovely time.

- Caroline, May 2024
Margaret May 2024

“We loved ammonite.”

Location was perfect and we loved the dog friendly beach for walks. Lyme Regis has everything you need. The chalet was spotless. Very well equipped and beds really comfy. Enclosed dog friendly decking a lovely space and safe for our mini schnauzer daisy to wonder about on. Feeding the birds is always fun. The parking space is a massive bonus. We have already booked for May 2025. Can’t wait to return.

- Margaret, May 2024
S April 2024

“Lovely location and extremely quiet.”

Everything we needed, although no soup ladle! The main bedroom is small, but ok for one person. Sadly no room for suitcase and no bedside table or bedside light. Would it be possible to have bunk beds in that room and the double bed in the other? Would def return.

Emma October 2023

“Great little place, super clean and tidy, plenty of utensils in the kitchen which was great!”

Mattress on the double bed could do with being replaced, but other than that I can't fault it! Location is perfect, short walk into town, even shorter walk to the beach! We will definitely be returning!

- Emma, October 2023
Zoe October 2023

“We had a wonderful time at Ammonite.”

Have visited Lyme many times, our first stay this end of town. Brilliant location with view of the sea and close to dog friendly Monmouth beach. Loved the decor on the blue, the colour of the sea! Could tell it was loved and used by owners. Kitchen well equipped. Only niggle was that the double bed mattress was a bit uncomfortable. We will be back!

- Zoe, October 2023
Mark October 2023

“Thoroughly enjoyed our stay.”

Everything was as described and as shown in the photographs. Fantastic views and a great location, so near the Cobb and Beach - both visible from the property. And a real sun trap! Excellently equipped kitchen, with every utensil or piece of glassware or crockery we needed. And plenty of storage. Beach themed decor throughout is a lovely touch, and welcoming. A slight issue when we arrived was that the keys we collected didn’t have the fob for the barrier from the carpark, but this was quickly sorted so not an issue. Wouldn’t hesitate to book again.

Melanie September 2023

“Our 4th stay here at Ammonite as the location is perfect and the outside space is dog proof.”

Well equipped and cosy. Unfortunately we had no Internet for the first three days and LBH insisted it was an ongoing problem in the area. However, hubby sourced and fitted a new internet cable and this solved the problem! As always, we enjoyed our break in Lyme Regis.

Beautiful chalet,lovely location,very clean,husband loved the binoculars,everything you needed in the kitchen would recommend to any one,only downsize was the Wi-Fi

- Paula, September 2023

Thank you for your positive feedback. I am so sorry about the WiFi, it appears it is a BT open reach problem, rather than a problem with the chalet WiFi. BT are currently investigating and I’m sorry it had an impact on your stay. Property Owner

“Thank you for sharing your lovely chalet with us.”

Please could the double mattress be replaced sometime?

Sarah June 2023

“We have just returned from a week staying at Ammonite.”

The chalet was clean and tidy and had all you needed for a week away and the welcome pack was a nice touch. The enclosed outside space was perfect to relax in the evening with a glass of wine. So many pubs and places to eat within a short walk. We will be returning.

- Sarah, June 2023
Jacqueline June 2023

“We have stayed at Ammonite last year and returned again this year.”

Ammonite is situated in a very good location to the western end of Lyme Regis being right by the sea but in a quieter part of Lyme but also within close walking distance to all the amenities as well, all appear to be dog friendly. Love the large decked area, we used it constantly with beautiful surrounding views. Ammonite is well appointed with parking for one car just behind. There is a locking gate you should always remember to close as you go out as a public carpark is situated just alongside the chalets and desperate day trippers (especially over the weekends) will try and park up where they shouldn't so always lock as you go, many don't! Eating out we loved Tom's (fish) restaurant and also The Harbour Inn both on the main beach front, BOOKING WELL IN ADVANCE IS A MUST you won't get a walk-in certainly not at peak times. For us the weather was kind, so all in all once again a lovely stay. DOG OWNERS PLEASE BE AWARE ITS TICK SEASON AND OUR DOG GOT BITTEN AND I HAD TO REMOVE A MONSTER TICK SO MAKE SURE YOUR DOG HAS BEEN TREATED BEFORE YOU COME DOWN, CHECK YOUR DOG AFTER EACH WALK AND PACK A TICK REMOVING TOOL AND ANTISEPTIC CREAM JUST IN CASE.

- Jacqueline, June 2023
Paula June 2023

“A beautiful chalet with a beautiful view.”

Very peaceful! A big outdoor space for dining and relaxing. Well equipped too many things to mention but everything you need inside and going to the beach. All in all wonderful. The only gripe is the double bedroom which is claustrophobic! The truckle bed should be listed as spare bed! Perfect for an adult or child. Parking available free of charge.

- Paula, June 2023
Peter June 2023

“Comfortable but feels tired, decking needs replacing and exterior furniture aged well, loose plinth under kitchen sink and kitchen tap often vibrates when used and constantly drips.”

Very noisy extract fan in bathroom. Would suggest replacing TV with larger size and updated smart type. Also used washing machine once but kept going into fault, but may have been user error. However a very comfortable stay and enjoyed our week.

- Peter, June 2023

Moya May 2023

“We loved our stay.”

The views were stunning and it is so peaceful. We wish we could have been able to put the umbrella up but we we were not strong enough. we found the chalet very hot because we were lucky with sunny weather. Please could there be a ventaxia in the bathroom as it is airless It was beautifully fitted out . We can’t wait to return! Thank you so much for enabling us to stay.

- Moya, May 2023

We have been very lucky to have a long-period of sunny weather in Lyme, and are glad that you had this for your holiday. Thank you for the comment regarding the umbrella, we will ask our team to check it. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner
Mandy May 2023

“We absolutely love this property.”

Did notice a slight crack on the bathroom sink, which maybe fine. Also one of the decking planks was sticking up with the nails protruding, again is probs fine. We ll be back again soon xxx

- Mandy, May 2023

We're so pleased that you loved the property. Thanks for the feedback about the decking plank and cracked sink, we will arrange for our maintenance team to take a look. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner
Amanda May 2023

“Bijou, cute and perfect in every way.”

It has everything you need, was in excellent order and cleanliness and the terrace area afforded privacy and excellent sea views. We got a sense of the owners and it felt like we were staying in a friends holiday home. It's situated a very short flat walk to the beach and to the promenade with the shops behind. You are surrounded by beautiful walks, we walked the coastal path and also the Lim River walk, both exceptionally beautiful in spring with the lush greens and abundant spring flowers and birdsong. The chalet welcome pack was a nice touch! Couldn't fault our stay at all and hope to return, recommended it to our friends and family too.

- Amanda, May 2023

Such lovely feedback thank you! The owners take great care of the chalet and really want people to enjoy their precious holiday time. We look forward to welcoming you back again in the future. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner
Sarah April 2023

“Having read previous reviews I would agree that there were some old cobwebs and dirt in corners where a bit more attention could have been given like the shower door runners.”

Would have liked a clothes airer for inside use and a potato masher! Plenty of cocktail making equipment but no masher! There was lipstick marks on some of the glasses however. The bin in the kitchen no longer flips up which is very annoying dishwasher tablets but no washing up liquid. We loved the position of the chalet but felt it was expensive for something that is quite tired. The hot water tap has an air lock so makes an annoying sound and there were a lack of purple sacks. Also rather than a welcome pack with expensive items would rather have had a larger milk some bread, butter and Nespresso pods. None of the clocks worked either and there was a lot of ornaments everywhere felt like you were staying in someone’s home and you were in the way - it left little space for you to put your things.

- Sarah, April 2023

I'm sorry to hear that there were some cleanliness issues upon arrival. I have referrred your comments to our Housekeeping Team and the property owner. As a local agent we are able to respond to issues that arise during your stay, and would encourage you to contact us so that we can provide you with the best possible holiday experience.

“Loved this property.”

Very clever design making maximum use of the space. Would like a keysafe.

Andrew August 2022

“The location of Ammonite was fantastic.”

To wake up and see the sea was awesome. The kitchen was well equipped and is was great to have a dishwasher and washing machine. There were a few niggles which need mentioning - The garden gate will not stay closed without the use of a stone which is not very child and pet safe. Patio doors which are the main access are hard to open and close. As the weather was very hot we opened the second section which is very hard to close - needs two people. There were cobwebs in the lounge and an old dog's bone under the sofa. On arrival no loo roll :( For the three of us and a small dog, Ammonite was perfect. Thank you so much :)

“Generally very nice could do with lighter duvets and a cloth’s airer”

Jacqui June 2022

“Perfect place to stay.”

This is purely petty but I would have liked a mirror in the double bedroom and some shelves in the bathroom. Had a fabulous stay there and wild love to come back again. So peaceful and quiet. Lots of wild birds singing their hearts out and the birds that came for your tit bits of blueberries and grapes. All came so close. The beach themed interior was lovely. Can't praise it enough. Thank you

“Ammonite is in a superb location with lovely views of the coastline.”

Adequate parking for one car with public parking close by albeit rather pricey. The chalet has everything you need for a weeks stay, very close to the Marina, restaurants, pubs and shops but also generally peaceful and relaxing, lovely welcome pack left for us as well. We have one dog and we give Lyme Regis the thumbs up for being very dog friendly with 3 out of the 4 beaches allowing dogs, the main Marina beach does not allow dogs and thats quite understandable as families with children predominantly use this beach. I have one small gripe that apart from leaving the chalet tided up and the kitchen area wiped down and utensils washed and put away and rubbish taken out, which we always do, we were also asked the bag up all the towels, strip the beds inc. mattress protectors and put in bags as well.....for the price paid I think this is something that should be done for us.....that said we have booked again for next year as we love this chalet.
