  • "This is a perfect house for any large gathering."

    It feels like a family home and is very comfortable. It has everything you could possibly need to keep everyone happy. My grandchildren enjoyed all the books and toys and the wonderful garden. There is so much space both inside and out with plenty of good quality facilities you don't really need to leave yet is only a 10 minute drive of the beach. Any queries we had were answered and addressed quickly by both the housekeeper and owner for which we thank them. We would suggest that a key safe at the back door with a couple more keys for both doors would be helpful as we found using the back door easier than the front and only 1 front door key was awkward.

  • "We had a fabulous stay at the Red House."

    It was perfect for our large family! We loved all the outdoor spaces and there was plenty of space indoors too. The location is very convenient and we enjoyed lots of local walks. It was great to be able to walk into Lyme Regis without having to take the car. Wonderful!

    Thank you . We have added garden seating down by the Victorian pond for the summer Property Owner

  • "A beautiful Property with easy access to everything we wanted to see."

    We were a group 6 adults and 5 children, they had a lots of fun, the garden is beautiful and spacious and the hot tub was a hit. A lovely cozy living room with all the facilities you could possibly need. Host were lovely enough to leave a complimentary basket of goodies. The property is very old with wooden detail, some of the flooring snagged our children so we had to out a plaster on it to make sure they were not hurt. The cat flap is left open, but it is big enough to allow a grown man access into the house (this may be a Londoners perspective as we are not so trusting). House was left on heating 19 degrees so felt a little Cold in the early night (but fine in the bedrooms). Other than that we had a lovely stay - thank you. Jas

    Thank you for this . We found the couple of floor boards that had a raised nail and have removed them. The cat flap allows dogs in and out to a contained patio area so they can get outside during the night time and not wander off . Property Owner

  • "Very disappointed."

    We were told the central heating in the building was not working the day before we travelled. Too late to make alternative arrangements. Owner offered £100 a night compensation until it was fixed. With little alternative we agreed and had two very cold days in the house. No compensation was subsequently paid. These rentals rely on mutual trust. You feel exploited when that trust is compromised.

    I am sorry to read this review . Unfortunately the central heating oil supply had run out just before you arrived and I immediately arranged for an emergency delivery to rectify this . 5 electric heaters were provided that improved the situation in the bedrooms but the house was cold . £200 was refunded although it has taken Sykes a while to process the payment . They have assured me that this compensation has now been given . Property Owner

  • "Amazing property."

    Large family group ranging from 25 to 61 years of age. Fantastic facilities. Excellent living spaces and very comfortable bedrooms. There wasn't anything we needed during our stay. There's usually a couple of items that you think it would be handy to have provided but not in this case. The only very very small comment from us and not to any detriment as we managed was more instructions on use of the aga and where to put the rubbish would have been helpful.

    Thank you . We have now included more information on the Aga including a 3 minute video from YouTube . Also some pictures of where rubbish can go . Property Owner

    Great facilities and pleasant accommodation and everyone particularly the children enjoyed the stay The road from the property towards Lyme Regis is very narrow with no passing places for considerable distances which is a bit of a disadvantage

    We had 4 generations of our family and they all enjoyed the facilities. One minor missing element was a high chair as we had a one year old with us.

  • "We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your magnificent house."

    Our only suggestion is to add more information to the instruction book. We found the link to use aga didn’t work. We had no idea where our bin was for dog poo. And more information on controlling hot water and central heating would be useful .

    We loved the grass tennis court area it was great for football, tennis and the dog. The croquet set was put to good use and was also much fun. With the gym, hot tub and sauna to use too it was all we could have wanted and also had the bonus of lots of lovely walks into Lyme Regis to enjoy what was on offer in the Town. For us it was a perfect location and I think we will be returning in the future.

    Great walks nearby, Lyme Regis was sunny and glorious to visit, but the huge outside BBQ, hot tub and huge lawn area to play lawn games on (we brought some) also made the house a great place to come back to and spend time.

Step inside and first discover the kitchen/living space, featuring a centre island with granite tops, a large AGA cooker and other integrated appliances, sure to inspire some home-cooking.

Enjoy mealtimes in the elegant dining room, toasting to a special getaway, before escaping to the snug for a cosy evening by the open fire or the large sitting room with TV.

Find the 6 double beds upstairs, offering a family en-suite room with two king beds , three double bedrooms and a master ensuite bedroom with magnificent valley / sea views from the veranda.

Both en-suites have roll top baths and there is a large walk in shower room for something quicker.

The quality of this home continues outside; a large patio space is well-equipped for summer barbecues and alfresco dining, plus the inviting hot tub offers a fantastic way to end the evening.

Work up a sweat in the sauna, lift weights in the gym or challenge each other to a game of ping-pong, all from the cellar and outdoor living room that has table football.

The charming village of Uplyme is nearby, offering a traditional green and a great choice of pubs serving up delicious fare after a long day.

From Uplyme, there is a riverside walk from the village into Lyme Regis with its family-friendly beaches, independent shops and galleries, along with must see attractions including the iconic Cobb Harbour and Aquarium.
