Tudor Cottage

The property was a good size.

The kitchen was well stocked for home cooking and thank you for the welcome pack, that was a lovely touch. Although, the property was in good order, it lacked a homely feel, we felt that maybe moving the furniture around could make all that difference. The house didn't feel loved. The parking was brilliant and location wise, couldn't be better. The enclosed outside space needs a little thought, maybe some solar lights and a couple of shrubs.

Very good and clean property, conveniently situated close to the sea and the shops.

Three very good bedrooms. Parking a bit tight, but luckily we have a compact car. House was uncomfortably hot when we arrived as all of the radiators downstairs were on full blast, and some of the windows were tricky to open. Enjoyed our short stay very much.

I was never told that the ceilings were low and the upstairs bedroom had a low‑hanging beam.

I am six foot two and I was constantly bending down, which made my stay very uncomfortable. I do think that Sykes Cottage could have made this known in the cottage description. Not at all happy. There was also a broken bedside light in the second‑floor double bedroom.

This was our 2nd year at Tudor cottage.

It is a lovely cottage in a fantastic location. We love it and may well return next year. On the downside the internet repeatedly dropped out. Not sure if it was the signal though my son who runs IT for a large company thought that the hub looked dated and might need an upgrade. We did not have problems last year. We mentioned last year that the steps are hazardous in the dark and the outside light did not work. It didn't work this year either. We used the henry the evening before we left and it made the sitting room of dog. Awful. The bag was full and perhaps a change of bag might help. We opted not to use it the morning we left as we did not want to be accused of having a smelly dog, or leave a nasty pong for the next visitors

Second time in Tudor cottage,great location.

Clean and comfortable.Recommended.

Lovely property.

Very close to shops bars and beach. Very quiet at night despite being in the town, although we did go in September out of school holidays. It was lovely for every room to have a en-suite and to have a big TV in the lounge. The welcome pack was the best I have ever had in a holiday property. We would be happy to book there again. However I feel the key situation really needs to be changed. Why do we have to collect the keys from a key safe so far away from the property? Why is there not a key safe on the property itself? There was only one key and because we could not leave it in a key safe on the property we had to carry it with us with a risk to it getting lost. It also meant we could not go out separately due to one of us being without a key. It would also be helpful if you could put the rules of which beaches dogs were allowed on and when, in the online instructions rather than trying to work it out.

Lovely, comfortable cottage in a prime location in Lyme Regis.

Well equipped and very comfortable beds. Very handy to have off road parking though the second space is rather small and tricky to access when all other spaces are in use!

We had a superb mini break at Tudor Cottage.

Excellent location and a great place to stay. The cottage was clean and well equipped. The welcome pack and milk was a welcome surprise on our arrival and a nice touch. One thing I would say is that the reviews shown on TripAdvisor are very detrimental and not at all an accurate representation of Tudor Cottage. We will definitely be returning back in the future.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this quaint cottage ideally located in the centre of the town for both exploring the area and walking around Lyme Regis.

Greeted with the welcome pack was much appreciated on our somewhat late arrival. The on site parking was a definite benefit. The only criticism was the very soft mattress on the double bed.

Our group of 05 stayed for 04 nights and had an amazing stay at the Tudor Cottage.

The house was super clean and very comfortable. Lovely beds. We had everything we needed and the location is excellent, a quick walk away from everything, which was important as we did not have a car. Two suggestions for future improvement: 01. A locker box for the keys at the property, instead of having to pick up and drop off at the office. 02. Post the full dog rules on the listing. I'd rate current policy as pet tolerant rather than pet friendly. I understand the reason for it, but would like to have read that on the listing. Thank you for the great stay!

The property was fantastic.

Very clean with nice rooms. Well equipped, including good Wifi. Two parking spaces. Great location, close to the beach. Less than 5 minutes walk to all the shops and restaurants. Couldn't fault it and will be booking again for the Summer.

Top bathroom bath could do with a hand rail on the wall,especially as the ceiling slopes sharply!

Very difficult to get out of the bath!

It’s a lovely cosy old cottage.

Comfy furnishings. Excellent to have off road parking though the spaces are very tight. Ideal for up to 4 but not enough living space for 6 (given that there are 3 good en-suite bedrooms). Tudor cottage is in an excellent location very close to the sea front.

The property is in an excellent location, but back from the main road so that you cannot hear any traffic noise.

Bars, restaurants, shops , museums, and the beach are all close at hand and parking is off road just behind the property. We have not stayed in Lyme Regis (or visited) before and it way exceeded our expectations. Everyone we met was so helpful and friendly we were blown away. The property is well maintained and quirky with excellent facilities. The welcome pack was a very pleasant surprise and much appreciated. We couldn't visit without fossil hunting on the beach and had some finds. The fossil shops and museums were excellent and very interesting. All in all an excellent choice. A couple of minor maintenance issues, the outside light on the end of the sitting room wasn't working and thus the lighting of the outside stairs was poor, and the windows in the downstairs double bedroom/bathroom had swollen and couldn't be opened , so there was a lot of condensation in the mornings.

We asked some questions before we came down, 1) are there more keys, you said no; there were 3 provided!

2) asked if there was a rubber bath mat, you said bring your own; there were 2 there! 3) asked if, as there was a small toddler with us, to check in early if at all possible; you were not going to ask or check. Clearly you did not know the details of the property that well! It’s a lovely cottage and we enjoyed our stay. Only comment it says “step outside into the courtyard” and the picture and description seems to indicate it is just outside which we wanted for the toddler. This was not the case the door was not useable from the lounge and the private space was not that near. Think this property perhaps not aimed at children. FYI, there is a leak in the top bathroom back of the sink. Beds were comfortable and we did enjoy our stay overall. Thanks.

The property was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed apart from a dryer.

I am disabled and booked based on your description,this was inaccurate.The property was hard to find and accessabiity was around zero. There was scaffolding in the front acces so wheelchair/ mobile scooter ( or even a pushchair could not pass through and it was difficult to walk through. There was no patio are only a step outside! as described. You had to walk some distance away from the property down steps and then up steps again to access the property from the back or go to the the fenced in, small paved area adjacent to the parking lot with a patio bench set with a washing line above, allocated to the property. The door and seating shown were there but the door was locked with no way to open so certainly not a step outside as described and in no way private. There was rubbish from workmen strewn accross the the small passage access to the only openable door making it a massive trip hazard for me. The bin could not be put out as requested because of the scaffolding and rubbish/ builders equipment in the way so my husband took it by the back a access a very long and difficult way around to the front. Some of the rubbish consisted of sky dishes, aerials and builders equipment so may account for the very poor tv and wifi signal we had at the property all week. We only had one key ( difficult to manage for 3 couples so we had 2 more cut and advised company to give all 3 to their next guests) By the way when we arrived at the property we could not find it as there is no sign or number on the front alley gate .A very kind local had to take us to the property via the back we would never have located it on our own a simple number or name on the alley gate and sign at the back would be helpful.

A fabulous cottage with everything you need and just a two minute walk to the beach front.

We had a wonderful stay at Tudor Cottage. A cosy and welcoming house with comfortable beds, all with en-suite bathrooms. Kitchen is very well equipped and clean. Added bonus is having two parking spaces which is hard to find in Lyme Regis. It’s a shame the enclosed garden is not directly connected to the house, but if you know Lyme then you know any garden access is hard to come by. Overall we loved our stay here and will definitely be back.

The property is very well located and gave the impression of being clean, well maintained and equipped, making the most of its central location despite the obvious limitations of internal and external layout in a property this of age and type closely surrounded by others.

There are some nice homely touches. A generous welcome pack was provided. The beds were comfortable and the plumbing and heating worked well. Key arrangements are inconvenient, and probably unmanageable for guests travelling by public transport (as in the case of one member of our party). When we arrived there was a strong unpleasant smell in the passage to the outside of the property and the yard area at the back. This smelt like “drains” masked by bleach/disinfectant. It gradually faded during the week. There was a handwritten note on the hot water tap in the twin bedroom ensuite on arrival advising that the tap was broken and should not be touched – the plumber had been called. This was not fixed during the week. Parking for the property is very awkward. Two parking spaces are advertised and indeed provided but it should be made more explicit that these are suitable only for small cars and how difficult it can be to manoeuvre in and out of the car parking area. Others guests and residents using the area may have large cars and may not park considerately. No fire risk assessment was provided so it is was not clear how the property conforms to the latest regulations (Oct 23). In particular we had concerns about exit from the attic room in case of fire.

We love Lyme and have holidayed many times.

This is a perfectly located cottage and having parking is beyond a bonus in Lyme. We were on the high street in less than a minute and the beach is so close. It was very clean apart from the oven and oven trays, luckily I'd bought my own as this is often an overlooked area. I'd seen the reviews about the lounge but we were 2 couples meeting up and we don't watch TV. However we could have done with some jiggling around. We loved it and my reason for 4 stars on comfort is how incredibly cold it was at night particularly the bedroom we were in and the mattress was so soft that we disappeared into it!

We booked as it as sleeps 6 with 3 bathrooms, which it does.

King room needs a shower or at least an attachment that is not split ( did report). Lounge furniture is the most uncomfortable I have ever sat on. The chairs are musty as well as uncomfortable, the sofa is clearly a sofa bed & as soon as you sit on it, it all slips forward. There is only seating for 5 although the sixth can sit on a dining room chair, which quite frankly is more comfortable. If you all want to watch Tv, because of the position you can’t all see. Would be better swapping sofa & tv position over ( would only need to run Ariel around skirting board). Kitchen is good, but kitchen utensils are cheap plastic and bend as soon as you use them. You need some extra knives & forks otherwise you are forever washing up to feed 6. You provide a washing machine but no airier. Position to town / beach is fabulous. However for a winter holiday you are wanting to be in the house for some or part of the evening & the comfort of the lounge lets it down.

Lovely homely cottage in a perfect location in Lyme.

We have stayed a few times in this cottage and will definitely be back. The cottage is so clean and comfortable with a well equipped kitchen. I love the fact I can just cross the road to walk along the promenade with my dog. Also we can park the car in the parking space and not use it again and faff with parking in Lyme which is expensive and busy.

There was a problem with the boiler when we arrived so there was no hot water or heating (water pressure).

We didn't realise that you had a 24/7 number so we waited until Saturday morning to ask for help. When we called a lovely chap came out within 10 minutes and all was sorted. Amazing service. My fault for not realising. Cottage is in fab location. Beds are so comfy. Parking was a bonus. Would definitely stay there again.

Very clean,well equipped kitchen.

Well presented inside.Outside area not at all private.Office for key collection at the top of a steep hill,part of the road was closed.Location of cottage was excellent,a minute from the seafront and luckily very quiet.Would visit again.

Before we arrived at the cottage I had received an email informing me that one of the showers wasn’t working, we appreciated being informed early and shows that Sykes/Lyme Bay Holidays are regularly checking the property; it was still an inconvenience hence I haven’t given 5 stars.

Tudor Cottage is centrally situated and having two parking spaces is fantastic in Lyme Regis. The cottage is well-equipped and is very quirky, the sloping floors in the bedrooms are memorable!

We have been coming to Lyme with our family for 35+years first time in Tudor cottage and we rate it as one of our best stays*****

This was our second stay at Tudor Cottage.

We like the house and its position in Lyme Regis. The cottage is comfortable and when there was a problem it was responded to immediately. However there are a few things that we think would really improve the cottage and the comfort of people staying there : 1. The top floor bathroom would be greatly improved with a shower attachment fitted to the taps in the bath . this would improve body washing and rinsing and more importantly allow for hair washing. .2. the bathroom in the twin room would be greatly improved with a hand held shower attachment fitted (rain showers are not good for everybody) 3. the seats and access to them from the door in the lounge - the seats are old and tatty and not comfortable - they are outside the door in the lounge but this door is permanently locked. It would be nice to access them from the lounge. Not as critical as the bathroom issues but a nice to have. This is not necessarily for publication, more for action please. Thank you

Lovely cottage, great location.

Really enjoyed our stay. Very well stocked for cooking which was so helpful. Would stay again.

This is our third stay at Tudor Cottage and we have booked to return a 4th time in June.

Really enjoyed our stay once again, thank you. I noticed that most of the interior walls have been repainted during the Winter which has freshened the place up. Only recommendation is that we are provided with a second set of keys (we had two last time) and a better quality of binbags - they pretty much all split(!) Thanks again - we look forward to coming back.

Clean, modern, welcoming, homely, central location, comfortable beds, peaceful stay, furnishing in good condition, would recommend.

Wonderful location and really good quality cottage.

Very clean, and we met the lovely friendly cleaning lady as we left. Highly recommended. One improvement would be to replace one of the single beds which was not quite comfortable enough. But overall, fabulous thank you.

This is the second year we have rented Tudor Cottage.

Unfortunately it is starting to feel a bit tired. The first bed in bedroom one is the main concern. We found it so uncomfortable. To the extent that it badly affected our sleep. This is a shame. because otherwise the cottage is in our opinion ideally located to enjoy Lyme Regis.

Our stay was wonderful, cottage perfect, as i said on my note, some radiators needed a good brush out as the one in our en-suite was full of fluff, a stool in the en-suites could come in handy, as we have to watch the water we use, when you have a wash down it's a lot easier to wash your legs etc.

Perhaps also slight ventilation as in a window fan as they do get rather misted up and could cause dampness.

The cottage is quaint and plenty of space.

The cleanliness left a lot to be desired. The carpets were so dirty the odour especially on the stairs was really offensive. The smell from the dishwasher when opened was due to a clean wash being needed. No salt therein. The compartment in the washing machine was completely full of mould. But the worse aspect was the sofa, when the cushions were removed the old food and hair shows this cottage only gets a wipe over and not a thorough cleaning inbetween guests. The microwave which we needed to steriliser baby bottles blew the fuses. A replacement was needed and a much older version was delivered. We loved Lyme Regis and the closeness to all the amenities made up for the cleaning we had to do to make the cottage more acceptable.

It would have been nice to have had lighter quilts on beds.

More accurate info on parking. En-suite bath on top floor very poor flow of water.Would have been nice to have pint size glasses.

Distance and steps from allocated parking to cottage makes hard work transporting luggage, etc from car to cottage.

There is a permanently locked outside door (to living room?) which would be more convenient,

We really enjoyed our stay at Tudor Cottage.

The house was cosy, comfortable, and perfect for a family holiday. The location was also pretty ideal since it’s tucked behind the high street, a stones throw away from the beach. Also, this might be more subjective, but I thought the bedding very comfortable as I slept really well while I was there. Finally, I realise it’s just a small thing, but I really appreciated that there was plenty of well-thought-out closet space in the bedrooms, since it’s such a pain when you can’t unpack properly! (Oh, and it was good that the cottage had its own parking spaces, because I got the impression that Lyme isn’t the easiest place to park in otherwise.)

We had a lovely stay in Tudor Cottage!

Very comfortable and convenient location. 2 parking spaces in the adjoining, private car park was a real bonus! Will book again.

Lovely Cottage.

Plenty of space. Brilliant location and very comfortable! Will definitely be coming back
