  • "We were the first to book here and we suppose there was a chance there'd be teething issues."

    I wanted to give feedback rather than a review that might be published to be fair to the host but eventually had to use the review The cottage is cosy and well looked after, the bed is really comfortable and the shower was great. Lynne the owner is friendly, welcoming and helpful  It is in a great location, close to shops/pubs and the beach.  I wanted to give it a 10 star rating but felt the following issues couldn't justify that completely: The cottage is advertised as having wifi and a smart tv. However there was no wifi available at the moment (apparently the owner did let you know that and she is looking into how she can get it installed), which also meant that the smart TV wasn't enabled.Both toilet seats are smaller than the toilet pans which makes them unsettling to sit on and probably less hygienic The light switch for the stairs also turns on the lights in the bedroom which means that if one of the couple goes to bed at a different time or gets up earlier than the other then the whole bedroom is lit up disturbing the sleep of the other guest.  It must be fairly simple to get an electrician in to isolate the two functions with different switches.  We got round this by leaving a lamp on downstairs which was less disruptive but still meant the space was lighter than is conducive to good sleep.The kitchen had a microwave but we couldn't locate any cooking bowls that could be used in it.The sink drainer is tiny so the owner has provided a huge plastic dish drainer for the washing up. It is way too big and unusable - there are plenty of smaller ones available which have a sloping funnel-like drain towards the sink.There was plenty of crockery and cutlery but they were old and felt like they had been found in a charity shop or the back of someone's kitchen cupboard.  Apart from the mugs which were obviously new.It would be really helpful to have hooks on the back of the shower room door to hang dressing gowns on. Leaving a dressing gown on the floor of a shower room is not ideal. Also the towels were too small We mentioned items 1, 2 and 3 to the owner and she said that she might do something about them.

    Thank you for your feedback and we're pleased that you had a great stay at Cherry Pip! Thank you for also leaving your feedback, which we the owner is taking onboard for future purposes. We know that WiFi has now been installed in the annexe. Your other points which you have addressed, will be looked at moving forwards in the near future. We certainly wouldn't have any hesitation to welcome you back in the near future! The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner
