Rooks Acre

This cottage is located on the beautiful & peaceful Rousdon estate, actually in a prime position with sea views despite being mis-located on the Sykes map!

. The facilities were great (although if you arrive in warm weather remember to turn the thermostat down to prevent heating coming on). The garden is large with enough space for children & dogs to enjoy, has wild flowers and fragrant rose bushes in abundance. The main gate doesn't shut - the only 'open' part of the garden but that wasn't a concern for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Rook's Acre and Rousdon again, my only regret is not getting the chance to visit its 'private' beach which is so beautiful.

This property has become run down the garden was overgrown in places.

Inside it was musty smelling and the central heating did not seem to work at times.We where very disappointed with this property as it is beautifully located

Absolutely beautiful property in a perfect location, I wanted to stay much longer

Rook Ache was a nice place but had a few problems.

Reading the feedback on the visitor book they don’t seem to be repairing them. We had a electric problem we couldn’t use anything but Skype sorted out for us. Also front door wouldn’t lock from inside and there was a leek under sink, it could be a lovely place but needs sorting and l thought it was quite a lot of money,l use Skype ever year never had a problem before a jasper

Lovely setting and so peaceful, and plenty of room.

Estate great for dog walks. Bungalow well equipped, but sadly beds for us were not that comfortable, sorry. Did try and get to the private beach but steps down were steep and in our view quite dangerous . If you want to really get away from the hassle and bussle this is the place for you.

Great place, but feel you're missing a great opportunity here.

Damp in the Living Room and condensation in the Conservatory needs to be addressed, kitchen worktops need to be sealed or replaced and scolding hot tap in the bathroom should be looked at. Would also benefit from a second toilet. Not sure when the last let was but the property smells a little musky.

Lovely and well-equipped cottage in a beautiful location.

The cottage was very clean as we had been worried about previous reviews.

Stunning location, property was dirty, spiders webs all over the bungalow, had not been vacuumed.

Old oil smell thoughtout the property. Cutlery and plates were all dusty and dirty after being left in cupboards for a long period of time,worktops very sticky. Couldn't open one patio door to conservatory due to apart of key broken in lock.front door very difficult to open and close. No access to private beach as a coastal path.

We really enjoyed our stay at Rooks acre however there were a few items lacking in the kitchen.

Oven Gloves, measuring jug, whisk, mechanical timer and scales. (Digital ones supplied batteries were flat) A lot more cutlery. Some plastic cups and plates for using in the garden and some proper bbq tools including a brush to clean with. Also remove the rusty, split trampoline in the garden before someone hurts themselves. Also, and this is aimed at Lyme Bay Holidays, you are using Covid as a reason for reducing services. Why should we have to strip all the beds and put them into bags in the name of Covid? It’s ridiculous. Also you had left all the dirty linen from the previous tenant piled up in the hall. I did email Mia regarding this but nothing was done about it. One other point, I think not leaving a nice welcome pack like you used to before you became part of Sykes is a mean spirited move.
