Braeside Reviews

Beautiful accomodation. Very clean Kitchen facilities were spot on. Kitchen bin did not work properly and the shower water presure was an issue. Would defintely book again .

Rachel

Luckily my husband was able to reset the boiler so we had hot water, and he cleaned all the filters on the tumble dryer so we could dry our clothes. He also banged in the nail on the floor in the games room where I injured my foot, so no one else would be hurt. Personally I found that having some windows without curtains was not good. However, the house was lovely, and parts had been really thought out well. I feel the owner needs to spend a week there to understand that little things are important. We still had a relaxing, fun filled week though, and the huge bath was fabulous.

Richard

Games room a winner with the family. Sitting room rather dark. Needed a pair of scissors in the kitchen! Overall a very good holiday.

Lesley

For three generations of family like us Braeside provided excellent accommodation. The property was spotlessly clean and the kitchen provided everything you needed for a self catering stay including 2 fridges, which was a great advantage and good washing and drying facilities. The lounge was a little small for 10 of us but as the weather was lovely we did not need to spend much time in there anyway. The garden was lovely but very small children needed supervision due to steps etc. The traffic noise spoilt it a little but obviously this was not due to the owners. We managed to park 3 cars in the space provided which was great and the teenagers loved the games room. My only reservation about booking this property again is the steep walk to and from town which became very wearing by the end of the week.

Rosanna

This was a nice properly and we had a nice time. It was well equipped and comfortable. We noticed a few broken items a leg on one of the chairs in the second biggest bedroom and part of the shower in the ensuite of that room, also the curtain rail in the twin room in the loft. so just making you aware as they may not have been flagged by previous guests. Also on the last morning a number of wasps seemed to appear in the house upstairs which was odd. Not sure where they were coming from but 4 or 5 appeared so it might be worth checking if theres a wasps nest somewhere near by. Thanks for a pleasant stay though, and we loved the welcome pack!

There was a musty smell when we entered the property at the beginning of the week but this diminished during the week. We found the induction hob cooker difficult to control but all of the other appliances were fine. We liked the space in the accommodation and the car parking was good.

Anthea

The house was nice and spacious with plenty of room for our family group of 7. After a long, hot and tiring journey the Welcome Pack, with tea, milk and biscuits, was just what we needed. However, as the day had been hot, the bedrooms were also hot and stuffy, and we could not open some of the windows to cool the rooms down. The impressive family 'bathroom' did not have a toilet. The toilet was across the landing, with no washbasin, and no opening window or extractor fan. The garden and outside seating area was lovely, and we used it a lot but a tray would have been very useful to carry cups, glasses and food outside. A sunshade would also have been appreciated. On the positive side, the games room was very much appreciated and utilised. The kitchen was adequate, with a large dining table and comfortable chairs. Braeside is a lovely old house, but has been sadly mistreated in the attempts to make it a holiday let for families. We love Lyme Regis, but definitely won't be staying at Braeside again.

Patricia

Spacious, welcoming, well equipped and comfortable accommodation. The games room is an added bonus. Thoroughly enjoyed by a family of seven aged eight to eighty.

Braeside proved to be the ideal property for us with 9 people staying, ranging in age from 5 to 75. The house was a good base from which to go to the beach at Lyme Regis. The older family drove but it was only a 15 minute for the younger ones to walk. The welcome pack on the kitchen table was much appreciated. Nice house with plenty of character.

Lovely stay at Braeside, it's a great place for a big group. There were seven of us, adults and kids, so the pool table was an absolute godsend, as were all the books and puzzles. There is plenty of space to relax together and apart! and its decorated thoughtfully and with character. The garden is also really pretty. It is a bit of a walk to town, maybe 15 minutes but if you have food, drinks and a movie at the lovely little Fox and Owl Cellar cinema, they give you a lift back up the hill in their minibus! A great place and we wouldn't hesitate to stay again.

Angela

We really enjoyed the space Braeside offered for our family of 10. The games room, kitchen, lounge, outdoor space, first floor bedrooms & ensuites were all comfortable & spacious. 2nd floor bedrooms were as described & comfortable. The shower in the main bathroom could do with an upgrade to match the ensuites on the first floor which were all lovely. It could also do with some shelves to put toiletries on for those using that bathroom ie those sleeping on the 3rd floor. The kitchen was well equipped. Small glass tumblers would have been ideal for the spirit drinkers in our party. Enjoyed early morning walks to the beach, cold water swim, followed by great coffee at Kiosk along the sea front.steep climb back for breakfast at Braeside!

Alison

We enjoyed our stay at Braeside and found the house warm and comfortable for a November break. The kitchen is well equiped and we enjoyed the games room. The sitting room really needs curtains which are shown in the online listing but are not there A shower in the main bathroom would be a good addition as we all ended up using the 2 en suite showers. The main bathroom also needs curtains or a blind .

We all enjoyed our few days at the property. The cottage was clean and the beds very comfortable. The games room was a huge success with the children. The large kitchen table was also very handy for board games in the evening. The welcome pack was a very nice touch. The Victorian cottage was a building of its time. There was a musty smell in a number of the rooms on arrival. Although the windows were opened in the day, there was still a faint smell in the evening. The enclosed garden with the large table was a good place to relax but the foliage needed to be tidied up. A thorny bush adjacent to a gate to gain entrance to the front door of the house needed cutting back. The light in one of the en suites was not working. After contacting the agents, someone was quickly sent out to fix it. However it almost immediately broke down again. We let the agents know again so they could fix this after we had left. These are small things which could be fixed. The cottage was also on a very busy road which we did not expect. However it was a lovely few days away and the children didn't want to leave.

Hilary

Sadly, the 2600 we paid to stay here for 3 nights 2 days was not worth it. Being an old property it smelt musty in several of the rooms, and the kitchen has a dark, gloomy appearance due to the decor. The downstairs felt cold, but baking hot in the bedrooms on the top floor. During heavy rain, the ceiling in the lounge was leaking and we had to place a pot under it. The listing does not point out it is on a very busy road and about a 20 minute walk, at a fast pace to the town. Garden gloomy with no sun, due to heavy Shrubberytrees surrounded property. On a plus side the games room was good.

Gaynor

A family holiday with children and grandchildren. Comfortable house and well equipped Games room is a great additional space Secure garden although steep in places for the little ones Great that the local bus stops right outside

Pamela

Excellent property for celebrating a 70th birthday with family. The children loved playing hide and seek, the games room was a great success, comfortable lounge and good size table in the kitchen for us all to gather around for meals. Bedrooms all had very comfortable beds and bathrooms spotlessly clean.

Sophie

House had everything we needed apart from a bread knife, rooms were clean and comfortable, games room was brilliant for the children and grownups! . Only issues were with the plumbing toilet above the stairs blocked totally once, they came out and fixed it immediately which was great but looked like it was going again after being fixed so we avoided using it after that. Water pressure showers went off if anyone else touched a tap or flush at the same time but that may be to do with the local water pressure in general. Brighter light over the kitchen table would be nice but otherwise all good. We loved our stay.
