The Blacksmith's Cottage is larger than expected, with enough space for a family.

It is very well presented and meticulously clean. The space for parking alongside the building was appreciated, and very useful for unpacking and later packing the car away from the roadside. The beds, bedrooms and bathrooms are all of a high standard The kitchen is well presented.

“Lovely cottage with everything we needed.”

Fab location too.

“Blacksmiths cottage is perfect for a couple, perhaps hanging space could be an issue for 4 but for 2 it's fine , good to have a parking space as it's rather limited in the area, kitchen has everything you need, likewise bathroom with a great shower, beds so comfortable couldn't find fault with anything.”

30 minute walk down the riverside into Lyme which is beautiful , catch bus back as it's a steep walk back by road so don't forget your bus pass ! All in all we had a great holiday and would definitely return .

Cheers p.s thanks for a great welcome pack, much appreciated.

The cottage was very comfortable, well equipped and though not large was roomy enough for two people.

The location was convenient with a very pleasant walk by the river into Lyme Regis and quiet country lanes offering the opportunity to explore the area around Uplyme.

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Blacksmith's Cottage.”

An extremely comfortable, clean and well equipped and maintained cottage with easy access to the beautiful Dorset and east Devon countryside and coastline. Would certainly recommend the holiday property to others.

I absolutely loved this little cottage.”
It had everything you could possibly need. Beautifully decorated and very welcoming. We had a wedding in Lyme Regis and reception in Uplyme so was the ideal location. If I was staying that way again I wouldn’t hesitate to book it again.

“We found Blacksmith Cottage to be a cosy, well equipped, quirky cottage.”
The welcome pack was much appreciated. Small maintenance issues ie toilet seat loose, and right hand shower control stiff.

“This is a lovely modern cottage in a fantastic location, a short walk to Lyme Regis.”

Couldn’t find any faults at all.

“The property was very clean, comfortable, and we'll equipped.”

Parking a large car from the narrow lane was a little difficult as the opening is narrow.

The Cottage overall was perfect. Great location, quality facilities, clean and nicely furnished. The only observations were - no sieve which made it difficult when cooking. Not enough bin bags for waste. Also no facility for recycling plastics and cardboard.

Thanks you Linda for your review. We have noted your comments and have added a sieve to the kitchen. The rubbish is collected all in one bin, general waste and all recycling. The waste is sorted at the depot and then recycled. I know this is different to domestic waste but rest assured it is all recycled.

The low mark for maintenance is 41 returned up there's about 10 sheets of toilet paper before people I didn't think this was a lot

“Great location and a very clean cottage.”

Just a few minor points: Hot water was too hot for the showers. Bathroom lock was sticky. Ensuite was just a toilet upstairs. I would recommend this cottage to stay at.

“A fantastic cottage!”

Very clean and well appointed, everything you could think of in the kitchen cupboards. Really comfortable, I think the best mattresses we’ve slept on in a holiday cottage. Great location, we walked the river path into Lyme which wasn’t far from the property and a lovely steady walk saving on car park fees in Lyme. We’d love to return one day. Shower controls were a little loose and the loo roll holder in the bathroom was falling off the wall.
