3 Grange Villas, Charmouth

Nice house, lovely location wirh good local facilites. Had a few problems..patio door dropped and wouldnt shut, smoke alarms not fitted. Cleaning was poor, my wife and daughter had to wash downstairs flooring and bannisters. BUT lyme bay holidays were on it so any issues contact them.

The accommodation was as described, great facilities everything you could need, great location for the beach , park for my youngest Granddaughter and a few shops for essentials and souvenirs. Just 2 bug bears, kitchen and cloak room could do with a hand towel and the upper shower needs a shelf for your toiletries, I had no where to put my shower gel or shampoo .A fan in that top room would also be a bonus.

The house is very modern and spacious and good for families though we were just a couple. It would have been nice to have a discount for just 2 people staying as its quite expensive. We have stayed here once before and enjoyed the great parking area and the location being so close to local shops pubs and beach. However the house was not as clean as we would have expected we found lots of dead wasps on arrival in the house and an ants nest on windowsill in one of bedrooms. There were also marks on some of the walls and holes in some ceilings. The towel ring in the cloakroom was not secure and one of the freezer drawers was badly cracked. We thought the patio door could really do with a curtain as it is not very private and very hot when sun shines. The bottom step in the garden was also not secure. A great holiday house if it had a just a bit more tlc.

Fantastic location, comfortable and well equipped house, charming village

The property is in need of some general maintenance fresh paint on internal walls and door handle repair and would benefit from a deep clean.

Lovely place to stay nice and clean

This is a great property, really comfortable, and with every facility and amenity we could have hoped for. We particularly appreciated the welcome pack which provided us with all the basics we needed, as well as some nice treats. All in all we really enjoyed our stay, and would have no hesitation recommending this property to anyone wanting to stay in the area.

Open plan downstairs works well and is comfortable. Kitchen well equipped though a folder of information would have been helpful. Found appliance info on third day! No info about recycling rules in that area. We had boiler problem on fifth day, no hot water, which was rectified by their maintenance man on same day and it worked fine for rest of holiday. Beds comfy, I know its used by lots of families but woodwork everywhere had lots of scuffs and scratches. Maybe its repainted at end of each summer season. Bathrooms and toilets were basically clean but could do with a deep clean in nooks and crannies. We didnt mind too much but if this sort of thing bothers you then you may want to look elsewhere. Good secure garden for children to play. Bushes are growing through the washing line whirligig so cant hang much washing out, its a quick maintenance job to cut them back and should have been done. Id have done it myself if Id had a pair of pruners. Plenty of parking. House tucked away in quiet corner in centre of Charmouth withfood store and two pubs within few minutes walk. Im being picky here for benefit of those seeking an holiday property. and comparing to the Sykes cottage we stayed in last year which was immaculate and attention to detail was perfect.

The property is in an excellent, peaceful location close to village shopspub and an easy walk to the beach, and its spacious, comfortably furnished & wellequipped accommodation gives it potential to be a superb holiday home, however it has not been wellcared for and requires a very deep clean plus a complete redecoration inside and out. There are multiple maintenance issues some of which marred our holiday enjoyment and the unkempt garden with brambles, wobbly steps & broken garden furniture were hazardous for children. The welcome pack was delightfully stuffed with goodies, but it would have been more welcoming if the phone number given regarding arrival was actually answered the requested highchair had been supplied the hot water boiler had been turned on and information had been supplied about wasterecycling plus other local tourist info. Our holiday got off to a bad start due to Lyme Bay Holidays poor management services. We also thought it was completely inappropriate to have new bed linentowels delivered to the house for the next guests the day before our departure!

Excellent location, spacious and well equipped. Desperately needs decorating inside and out Garden furniture unusable as covered in bird mess and one bench broken and garden needed tidying. Cleaning standard could be better, dirty tissue down side of bath and cobwebs and dust in many areas.

The property was welcoming with a nice welcome pack of local goodies. It is situated in a very convenient location for access to the shops and flat walk to the beach. However the whole place needs a good spruce up eg paintwork in general. Water pressure on the top floor was poor and the basin in the 1st floor bathroom did not drain properly. Toilet seats were too small for the toilets. Unfortunately having arrived after office hours, we found that there had been a serious problem with the incoming water main in the area. All of the cold water supply was black and full of grit and sand and took us over an hour to flush through. It was completely undrinkable. Lyme Bay holiday, which appear to be maintaining the property on behalf of Sykes, called round the next morning with 2 bottles of water. The water company website confirmed the problem, as did a neighbour I spoke to, but no one had come to make sure that the property was fit to use for our arrival and that the problem had been resolved. Hence the poor score for the facilities and maintence category.
