  • "The property is feet away from a very busy road."

    The road noise is high and for us was a constant irritation. Particularly so in the early hours of the morning. there were other issues with the property which we have raised with the owners. These are subjective observations so I do not intend to make them public. I am sure the owners will review them and act as they feel is appropriate. On a positive note, the owners acted very promptly to resolve one particular issue. Also, the property is well placed for catching the X4 bus in either direction which opens up the possibility for walks on the coastal path. there is a friendly pub next door but opening times are limited off season

    We are delighted that you found the cottage to be well placed for accessing a range of local amenities. We are also pleased that when you reported a faulty electrical item, we were able to replace it for you the next day with a minimum of inconvenience. The photos on our listing do clearly show the cottage next to the road and this is also quite clearly mentioned in the text. Of course sensitivity to traffic noise is a personal/subjective thing, (and as you say, the comments and suggestions that you sent us separately are also matters of personal preference). But we will consider those comments and have already reduced the number of mugs in the cupboard as you suggested! Property Owner

  • "Charming little cottage set in a beautiful area."

    We both fell in love with the property. We appreciated having the little comforts being readily available like milk in the fridge, tea, coffee & sugar, the wood burner stocked and ready to go. Cannot fault how well stocked with utensils the kitchen was. Had all the the appliances needed to keep the property clean. We adored having the games to play and books to read. A slight inconvenience was having no hot water in the basin in the bathroom and not getting the digital TV to work, however we weren't there to watch TV. The building is stunning and would love to know the period of the property. We would definitely recommend staying here and will be returning in the future. Ben and Emily

    Thank you for your feedback. We are so happy that you had a lovely stay. It's a shame that you didn't mention the problem with the TV during your stay. Another guest brought it to our attention this week and we realised the TV isn't working properly. We have replaced it with a new one. The plumber has also sorted out the hot water in the bathroom basin. Thank you once again, Claire and Richard Property Owner

    Terrible stay we were freezing the whole of the stay, tried to complain to sykes but just keep getting automated response emails

    Thank you for your feedback. It's different to other feedback we have received from guests on line and in the guest book, but it's useful to hear all opinions and it has been noted for future reference. Property Owner

  • "This was our second time at Lythe cottage ."

    Great location . Cottage had everything we needed . Very clean & warm . Didn’t light the fire as it was plenty warm enough. Lovely bedding & towels . Plenty of hot water other than in bathroom hand basin which was cold . Great shower . Only issue was the settee in the lounge which was very uncomfortable. Would definitely stay again.

  • "The cottage was stunning and exactly what we needed."

    Well equipped and warm (we stayed in February) everything had been thought of from kindling for the fire to dog blanket and biscuits. Thank you! Everything was clean and comfortable and in good working order. The Stiddy Pub next door was so welcoming and the food was outstanding. The bus stops right outside the cottage and runs regularly until late in the evening. The village shop was well stocked and very friendly too. We'd highly recommend Lythe Cottage for a peaceful stay in a lovely village. Thank you
