  • "This was our second visit to Hillside Cottage and it was as good as the first time."

    The cottage had everything we needed, there was plenty of space for the 6 of us and the garden and views were as lovely as ever. Just a shame about the weather!

  • "We loved our stay, thank you."

    It was a great location with some great walks around. Lovely little welcome hamper. Cosy and comfortable. We would definitely say again and I would highly recommend to friends.

    Thank you, glad you enjoyed your stay! K Property Owner

  • "My friend and I had a great stay at Hillside Cottage with our dogs."

    The cottage is well equipped, cosy and comfortable. The gardens and patio areas are lovely. The bedrooms are charming. Just one little comment is that the hot water was very hot.

    Thank you, glad you enjoyed your stay! K Property Owner

  • "Hillside Cottage is well equipped, comfortable and in a lovely location perfect for visiting the area."

    Very dog friendly. Would certainly re book and recommend it particularly to friends with dogs. The only negative comment I have is when we arrived it felt a bit damp but to be fair it is an old cottage and it did improve when we put the heating on. It lacks heating in the hall, middle room and kitchen but every where else is warm and cosy.

  • "We had a lovely break."

    The cottage was perfect and presented very well. A thoughtful touch with the basket of goodies. The view from the patio/decking was picturesque. We would highly recommend the accommodation to anyone looking for a break.

    So glad you enjoyed your stay at Hillside Cottage! K Property Owner

  • "We had a wonderful week (apart from the weather) in this wonderful cottage."

    Everything you could want is provided, kitchen is well equipped, beds are all super comfy and the lounge and snug are lovely to relax in. Access to the internet it hit and miss, but I would be surprised if the little lane it’s up has fibre broadband and it hurts no one to spend less time on the screens! Easy to get to lovely beaches and plenty of shops and supermarkets are near by. Garden area is a sun trap and would have spent much more time on the deck watching the kids play had it not rained! All in all a lovely, well considered cottage which accommodated our family perfectly and we had a wonderful time, we will definitely be looking at availability again!

    So glad you enjoyed your stay at Hillside Cottage. You are right about the lack of fibre broadband - but 4G works well. Please do come again! KW Property Owner

  • "This is a lovely country cottage, with a great decking area and lawn."

    Everything was very clean and tidy and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped. The only problem was the internet router was not in the house. Lyme Bay Holidays dealt with this very efficiently on the Monday and returned it during the day.

    Hi, Thank you for your lovely comments re Hillside Cottage. Many apologies for the lack of wifi for the first few days - unfortunately the Post Office failed to deliver the router on time, meaning that we could not connect it before your arrival (out of our hands, unfortunately!). Kind regards and please do come again - KW Property Owner

  • "Beautiful cottage with lots of home comforts, great bedrooms, great welcome basket - obviously a loved home."

    All the little things you might need were there. We only had a few issues - the garden chairs were ‘end of life’, the Wifi was fine for 4 days then nothing and please could there be a larger tea pot then definitely a 5 star rating.

    Thanks for your feedback - glad you enjoyed your stay at Hillside Cottage! We shall replace the entire garden table/chairs set at the end of this season, and a new, larger teapot is on its way! Please do come again - K. Property Owner

  • "Well equipped kitchen, comfortable beds, warm and cosy."

    Firewood provided was a bonus. Books, DVD's, buckets and spades for entertaining kids and adults. Mould in upstairs shower. Downstairs floors not hoovered (covered in dog hair). Washing machine full of dog hair and smelling of mould. We found the table sticky and covered in breadcrumbs. A used washing up sponge was sitting on one of the chairs.

    I do apologise if the cottage didn't meet our normal expected standards of cleanliness and have passed your comments onto our Housekeeping Team. As a local agent we are always happy to attend and rectify any such issues if reported to us at the start of a holiday as we aim to ensure that guests have the best possible experience.

  • "You definitely need a car which isn't a problem for us but should be made clearer in description."

    The foot path to Lyme is accessed by first walking on a pretty dangerous single track road. The locals don't slow down. We loved this cottage but the damp feel due to the age of the property wouldn't be everyone's cup if tea. Price was a bit high. Jumping from £800 to £1200 in one year for a 3 bed property seemed a bit steep.

  • "Excellent cottage, perfect for our family and dogs."

    Couldn’t work the quokker tap so purchased (and left behind) a kettle. Highly recommend this cottage to anyone who wants to be near Lyme but enjoy the rural setting.

    So glad you enjoyed your stay at Hillside Cottage. Thank you for the kettle - the Quooker Tap has since been serviced and is in perfect working order. K Property Owner

  • "I hadn't appreciated from the photos just how old this house is."

    As a result, the floor levels are up and down with step changes throughout the house, and steep stairs. The cottage is well-appointed, though the quooker tap wasn't working so Lyme Bay Holidays provided a kettle. The bathrooms were all very clean. The wifi was patchy. The sunny garden is a treat.
