    “Very disappointed.”

    We were told the central heating in the building was not working the day before we travelled. Too late to make alternative arrangements. Owner offered £100 a night compensation until it was fixed. With little alternative we agreed and had two very cold days in the house. No compensation was subsequently paid. These rentals rely on mutual trust. You feel exploited when that trust is compromised.

    I am sorry to read this review . Unfortunately the central heating oil supply had run out just before you arrived and I immediately arranged for an emergency delivery to rectify this . 5 electric heaters were provided that improved the situation in the bedrooms but the house was cold . £200 was refunded although it has taken Sykes a while to process the payment . They have assured me that this compensation has now been given . Property Owner

The property

Lyme Regis 1 mile. Red House is a substantial family home set in a unique and stunning location in Uplyme near Lyme Regis, Devon. Set in picturesque grounds with acres of land, including a former double grass tennis court, croquet lawn and a patio with heated outdoor living room with coffee/tea and table football and hot tub, this magnificent residence provides an exceptional base for exploring Devon and Dorset. It was added as additional accommodation to a magnificent 200 year old late - Jacobean house built by Admiral Sir John Talbot (who served with Lord Nelson), and funded by his Royal Navy Bounties for capturing enemy ships. You will find the ample off-road parking area at the side of the house. Step inside and first discover the kitchen/living space, featuring a centre island with granite tops, a large AGA cooker and other integrated appliances, sure to inspire some home-cooking. Enjoy mealtimes in the elegant dining room, toasting to a special getaway, before escaping to the snug for a cosy evening by the open fire or the large sitting room with TV. Find the 6 double beds upstairs, offering a family en-suite room with two king beds , three double bedrooms and a master ensuite bedroom with magnificent valley / sea views from the veranda. Both en-suites have roll top baths and there is a large walk in shower room for something quicker. The quality of this home continues outside; a large patio space is well-equipped for summer barbecues and alfresco dining, plus the inviting hot tub offers a fantastic way to end the evening. Work up a sweat in the sauna, lift weights in the gym or challenge each other to a game of ping-pong, all from the cellar and outdoor living room that has table football. The charming village of Uplyme is nearby, offering a traditional green and a great choice of pubs serving up delicious fare after a long day. From Uplyme, there is a riverside walk from the village into Lyme Regis with its family-friendly beaches, independent shops and galleries, along with must see attractions including the iconic Cobb Harbour and Aquarium. Head to Charmouth, perfect for a day out fossil hunting on the beach or dive into the area’s fascinating history at the Heritage Coast Centre. If you’re seeking an exceptional base on the border of Devon and Dorset, look no further than Red House. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 1143228, together sleeping 14 guests.
