Sea Fever

Amazing views from the living room's window.

Great location on the promenade. Would love to visit again. Bathroom a bit small but we managed.

We had an issue with the cleaning which I reported and it was resolved.

The apartment was lovely, beds comfy, plenty of hot water, well equipped kitchen, perfect location. The sofas were a bit tired though, you sank down into a hole, it was fine for us but my elderly mum struggled to get out of them. Overall though a lovely holiday apartment.

My husband and I have stayed at this flat on and off during our regular visits to Lyme Regis, staying from when it was first added to Lyme Bay Holidays listing (original owner).

The flat needs attention/ some TLC and comments made by other visitors need to be acted upon, particularly in the relation to the bathroom. You cannot have a shower where the shower head does not stay up. I accept there will of course be wear and tear but suggest the owners look at their flat and review it against the very high standard it was when it was first listed.

Perfect location right on the sea front.

The apartment was tidy and warm. Instructions were easy to follow for access to the apartment. As others have said, the shower is still in need of fixing as the riser doesn’t hold the shower head. Also there are cracked tiles and stained grouting and silicone sealant. The bathroom needs some shelves for toothbrushes and bathroom bags.

Everything was great….

.except the bathroom. The shower head won’t stay up!! Also, many people have stated previously, absolutely nowhere to put anything! Yes, the bathroom is very small but good enough to use, but you really need somewhere to put toiletries etc and the only place apart from the floor is to balance things on top of the cistern! What does it take to put up a small shelf somewhere?

The location of this property is unbeatable really.

The flat is right on the sea front with a bay window and window seat overlooking the sea. It is a small flat and I'm not sure 4 adults would be comfortable, but for us with 2 adults and 1 child it was fine. The kitchen was well stocked and the bedrooms a good size for a small flat. Just a couple of niggles - there was very little storage for clothes, shoes etc. The draws in the bedroom are mainly filled with bedding although there are two wardrobes which suffice if you bring plenty of hangers. The main downside for us was the bathroom. It really is tiny. The shower is very small, the shower head doesn't stay up, even when the water is on, so you have to hold it over you to wash (not easy when shampooing etc). The bathroom is clearly fairly old, there is a little mould in the shower cubical and the door seal has seen better days. There is nowhere to hang towels (that I recall although I am now wondering if there was a small towel rail), and no shelf for toothbrushes etc. I take medication which requires me to wash my hands afterwards but with no-where to put it down in the bathroom it was a difficult task. It's so small you can't really dry yourself in the bathroom which makes life interesting when you are staying with other people! Will we stay here again? We are deliberating. Can't beat the location, could do with a bigger/refurbished bathroom.

The Location and the views are stunning.

The whole building is very welcoming, The entrance being very clean & the staircase is carpeted. Open the door of the apartment & it’s a ‘wow’ Thank you.

The location and view is perfection.

The beds were comfortable and the apartment was clean. It’s unfortunate that the things that really let the place down could be so easily fixed but have quite a big impact on the stay. It’s also a shame it’s been mentioned in so many other reviews. There needs to be a coat hook. It’s ridiculous that we had to put all of our coats over the furniture. It would be so easy to also put a shelf in the bathroom. It’s a real inconvenience to take the toothbrush with you in and out of the bathroom! And nowhere to hang wet washing - no drying rack anywhere seems mad when right by the beach. I think the place just feels a bit tired and could do with a few small changes that would make a huge difference. Despite the amazing view and location, I don’t think we would stay in this apartment again. We got better value for money in the other apartments we’ve booked through you previously.

Lovely holiday as usual but we also agree with other feedback that the shower room desperately needs a shelf over the sink.

It’s a shame that this hadn’t been done as the owner has promised to put one up in the past. Otherwise a perfect stay.

There was no salt/pepper in the room - there were shakers there but they were empty.

Would be helpful if you could provide the key for the window locks as it felt somewhat unsafe with small children near the front windows. Also some sort of shelving would be helpful in the bathroom/shower. Otherwise, we had a great stay and loved the amazing views.

Please fit a bathroom shelf, or two, including one in the shower!

We had a wonderful week at sea fever for the second time and will be back again, it’s fantastic location for us and so relaxing looking out to sea

A lovely property in an unsurpassed location.

However I would like to draw your attention to the following: - there is no shelf in the bathroom, either above the basin or in the shower. So, nowhere to put toothbrushes, toothpaste, soaps, shaving equipment, shower gels etc. We had to resort to brushing teeth in the kitchen! Hardly appropriate in a property rated as outstanding. We see from the guest book that this issue has been regularly raised by guests over a number of years. With the use of IKEA, which has been the source of other items in the flat, this could be remedied at little expense. - the instructions for turning off the fire alarm if accidentally triggered are completely out of date and therefore inaccurate. For instance the control box has apparently been moved. Up to date instructions should be provided. - lastly, a small but irritating issue, only 4 teaspoons are provided in a flat which sleeps 4!

Very nice second stay.

Location is perfect and the flat is well equipped. Plenty of room for a travel cot so not sure why it says there isn’t on the website. Just a few things that need addressing: - Kitchen tap kept dripping - Shower was very hot and we couldn’t seem to turn the tap enough to make it colder. - windows could do with a clean - a shelf in the bathroom would help to store toothbrushes etc

The glory of this flat is the view and the window seat which make the high price worth paying.

The seating is comfortable (although the window seat could do with a long cushion), the kitchen well equipped and the location fantastic. However, the place cries out for more storage aids. The coat hooks were hanging off the wall and unusable and the loo seat was the only surface on which to put toiletries when using the minute basin. A shelf above the basin would make a big difference. Some of the crockery was grubby when we arrived - dried coffee drips and rings on three of the mugs, dried food on two plates and crusty cutlery. It looked as though guests had put them away after a hasty hand rinse and they hadn't been checked by housekeeping. There were crumbs from previous guests on the window seat and the windows were smeared with bird droppings.

Comfortable flat with lovely view.

Bathroom is small as other reviews mention but perfectly functionable. Nice touch to leave tea, mild, biscuits etc Would book again.

We had a really lovely stay in this apartment.

It is a great location, with wonderful views from the window seat. The apartment was clean and comfortable. The sofas were so comfy to sit on and the mattress was nice and firm. We were worried the noise from the restaurant below would be loud however it wasn’t and we needn’t have worried. The restaurant also closes at a sensible time. We will 100% look to stay here again. My two comments for improvement relate to the bathroom. 1) It would be really nice to have some small shelves in the shower as it was a bit of a pain having the shower gel, soap etc on the floor. Similarity a small shelf for toothbrushes would have been helpful (we had to keep them in the lounge). 2) there was a slightly unpleasant smell from the bathroom and we could not work out what it was from. However by the end of the week we worked out it was likely from the toilet brush. So this probably needs to be replaced and/or cleaned. Overall we are very happy with our stay and looking forward to rebooking!

We thought the apartment was very well thought out and well equipped.

Lovely location and window seat was great. Bathroom was too small and really needs somewhere other than by the toilet for a toothbrush , soap etc A lot of noise from the apartment above which disturbed sleep

Impossible to control the temperature in the shower.

Vertical pole not fixed securely at base and fell off. The extractor fan did not work.

Stunning views.

A compact apartment with everything you need. The large bay window opening up to the beautiful view is the whole reason to stay…it’s stunning! Comfortable beds, good kitchen, bathroom small but fine (couldn’t figure out temperature change on shower) You’re right on the prom so it’s easy to pop back when you need to - loved our stay!

Great flat with stunning view of Lyme Bay.

Comfortable and well laid out. Close to everything important .. the cobb, pubs and restaurants, the beach, ice cream and fish and chips. Shower cubicle might be problem for someone overweight.

Excellent apartment in a great position We were lucky with the weather and had nice sunny mornings So the bay window was a lovely place to sit and watch the world go by

This is my second stay in Sea Fever - it is lovely - great view to sit in the window and watch the world go by.

Everything in the apartment is beautifully kept and very clean.

Relaxing vibe in apartment nice pale colours.

Love the window seat amazing view enjoyed listening to sea roll over the pebbles. Comfortable beds although we’d prefer a king size bed. Nice dressing table and choice of mirrors around and lots of storage for clothes.The bathroom is very small just a shower but that’s what we expected and managed ok for 3 of us, the only issue was it needs a little shelf with a cup for toothbrushes.. Nice kitchen with everything you need and we appreciated the milk on arrival and a super welcome bag! As it was February we had a couple of very cold days and we did find the heating kept turning off after an hour. Overall we had a lovely stay in this cute apartment in a great location.

Very comfortable.

We had stayed there once before so knew it. The view over the sea was lovely , no storms this year just sparkling ripples on the sea’s surface. Unusually day after day of sunshine. There is a tiny crack in the LHS of the basin in the bathroom. Not sure if the owner is aware of it. Also bulb in ceiling above the front door needs replacing. Not sure who is responsible for that . Maybe the flats’ management company. Not sure why previous tenant complained about sofas , they are fine. The shower was wonderfully warm and powerful. It is a very cosy apartment.

Generally fine.

Very clean, Excellant location. The settees are starting to sag and could do with replacing. The extractor fan in the Bathroom was not working and the shower needs needs some attention. The temperature control does not work well. There was no documentation about the Central Heating or any of the appliances. We managed to work them out in the end.

We always love staying in Sea Fever and are repeat visitors.

It’s just the most beautiful place to stay and the window seat is my favourite spot! Sitting there with a book makes everything feel alright. Thanks for letting it so we can stay there.

Love this place - would love to buy it.

Compact flat, description was accurate and beds the most comfortable we have ever had in a holiday home.

Amazing views of the sea. Looking a bit tired around the edges - a lick of paint especially in the bathroom is required and the cleaning wasn’t quite up to the usual Lyme Bay standard. We had a fire alarm test and a further visit to change the fire alarm batteries - we felt this could have been carried out in the changeover times. A 5pm entry is quite late especially when travelling with children.

Absolutely beautiful apartment on Lyme Regis Promenade.

Light, airy & uplifting. The Views are stunning. Thank you. Just for the owner (Maybe a small nest of coffee tables would be helpful)

Lovely property with a great location and view.

Has everything we needed. Gift bag was a lovely welcome.
