Barbara

As a group of 8 celebrating a special birthday away, we found this the perfect house. So modern, spacious & very comfortable in a fab location with gorgeous wide views, from the balconies, especially from the first floor balcony, its just a shame there wasnt any seating on that one. Very well equipped with good sized bedrooms & bathrooms, comfy beds & pillows.the bunk bed room was surprisingly large & fine for an adult. Plenty of parking, we managed to fit 4 cars in the drive. Only a 10 minute walk to the pub that serves great food, although rather steep on the way back!! Overall a fabulous place to stay, the welcome pack was very generous & much appreciated, the instruction manual comprehensive & very thorough . A couple of our party are already planning a return with their own families!

Lovely house, had everything we may have needed, washing machine, tumble dryer, ample plates, cups and glasses. Sofa was a bit creeky in places and stair carpet was a bit grubby. Great sea views. 15 min walk to the beach. Steep hill walking back up from the beach. Thank you for the welcome pack, much appreciated. We had a wonderful week.

Elizabeth

The property was absolutely brilliant. It worked so well for our family. The open space downstairs felt really spacious allowing our grandchildren plenty of room to be doing their own thing without being in the way of others. The location was great with a 10 minute walk down to the beach. The only negative we had was the downstairs bathroom having a deep bath with shower over, so ground floor bedrooms which were great for the grandparents meant they couldn't actually climb over to use the shower. The walk in shower was upstairs where the children were and they wanted to use the bath! But it was a great property for our holiday!

Josephine

This is a beautiful house in a nice quiet area of Charmouth, walking distance to cafes, pubs, park, beach and fossil centre. The views from the house are lovely, and we really did enjoy our stay here. We had a couple of negatives in that items of furniture were broken or need maintenance outdoor chairs and drawers, and our dog did manage to escape through the hedge a few times, luckily the road is very quiet and the neighbours friendly! I would absolutely stay here again, the negatives were far outweighed by the wonderful location, spacious accommodation, and gorgeous views.

Jeremy

The property is stunning and the location is amazing. The only criticism is that it could be so much better with some TLC. The garden needs tidying up as it was all overgrown while we we there and it could be amazing with even better views. In general the furniture is cheap except for the beds which were incredibly comfortable. External bins were full when we arrived and 2 door handles were falling off BUT on Monday once the office was open they were emptied and the doors fixed very quickly . there is an amazing view from the terrace next to the main bedroom but no furniture on it and potentially a hand rail could be fitted on the stairs to the property as we booked the house due to the downstairs bedrooms as we had elderly family with us. We would happily stay again as I said the property and location were amazing. I'm mentioning the issues as to be honest if the garden and furniture was addressed you could charge much more and I would of gone 5 star for everything.

Elizabeth

The property was perfect for our requirements however I had requested the twin beds were zipped together which was not done There are only 2 regular sized bins, definitely insufficient for a 10 occupancy property, which were full on our arrival. There was no collection during the week resulting in us having to keep bags of rubbish in the house so they werent attacked by seagulls.

I have already given a verbal review to your office by telephone. Essentially the property could do with some TLC and lacked adequate equipment.

Joanna

We loved the house and the beautiful view. There was plenty of room and the house was clean and comfortable. We did struggle with the heating, some rooms were boiling and others were cool. The kitchen was great and well equipped and we loved the welcome pack. The bedroom furniture particularly the wardrobes and drawers were of cheap quality with some damage not done during our stay. None of us could get the wardrobe open in the master bedroom! Overall it worked very well for our large group 6 ladies, and Im sure we would return.

Nicholas

Lovely, we'll kept property in good location

Elizabeth

A lovely house, with beautiful views, that suited our party from 8 months to 82 years down to the ground. The outside steps weren't too challenging for the seniors. There is plenty of living space, the bedrooms were all of a good size. We have rented a number of properties as a family & the only issues that arose were the same as any otherFirstly, issues with bins, always being almost full when we arrive. I know this isn't the fault of the owner, but of the local councils because the bins aren't emptied regularly enough It has happened in Devon and Cornwall too but this time we ran out of bin space altogether, and the bins weren't emptied & I had to contact Sykes, who advised us to leave the refuse in the property, which wasn't ideal. And there always seems to be a shortage of serving dishes in holiday rental properties. But I guess this is subjective, as no one can guestimate what meals are going to be served! But, at the end of the day, it was a great house & I think I can safely say that if we decide to holiday in the area again, we would happily return to Yarrow.

The seals on the dishwasher are coming out so unfortunately the dishwasher leaks if these aren't slid into place. We couldn't find a manual on how to use the oven. Wdle did figure it out eventually thanks Google! but a manual might be useful for others.

Melanie

This is our second visit here, its a lovely house and wonderfully situated. We would have like to return for our holiday next year but sadly does not seem bookable next year. It is well furnished and the kitchen is well stocked. We had the some issues though the stair gate is provided but does not fit the stairs and we had 2 under 2 year olds The patio area is great but with 2 sets of wide concrete steps with no way of closing them off, makes the area dangerous with young children. The option to have the twin room made up to a double was requested on both visits but was not done either time

Andrew

Very impressive property and perfect for our mixed family group of 3 adults and 4 children. The rooms were all a very good size and the beds were comfortable. Beautiful views of Charmouth Beach. The appliances were not the best, particularly the dishwasher and for such a large property that would host large groups it was a very small washing machine. The cutlery and pots and pans were also not the greatest for such a property. But we all thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and these are minor gripes.

I really enjoyed my recent stay at Yarrow. The house has magnificent views out to sea and to the Isle of Portland. There is a tranquil atmosphere that helps you relax as soon as you arrive. The house is well appointed and is ideal for an extended family stay. if you like an untamed beach with a river flowing across its sand and shingle Charmouth is the place for you with the added attraction of fossil finding and a great collection to view at the visitor centre. here are wonderful walks in every direction across the unspoiled Dorset countryside and the nearby Lyme Regis offers many good quality eating and drinking venues. We stayed at Yarrow as two families with four children and had one of the best weeks I can remember. We all loved our daily walk down to the beach around 15 minutes down, 20 back up the hill even in cold weather. Charmouth is a quiet town with a couple of friendly pubs, cafes and great local shop for essentials. The house itself is very comfortable with loads of open space and a view that I will never forget. Amazing memories all round and we will absolutely be back one day soon. Tom, Naro and family

Nicola

Yarrow is a lovely home in a beautiful location but in real need, in many areas, to be improved from a safety and comfort point of view. I think from previous reviews you are aware of what those issues are. If you are hoping for returning custom I would address these issues sooner rather than later.

Nicholas

Lovely location and aspect, with views over Lyme Bay. ..Plenty of space for a large family and spotlessly clean..

Rebecca

Most of the bedroom storage was broken, the bins hadn't been emptied and weren't during our stay despite us putting them out. The sliding doors are temperamental and do not always lock. If you want need WiFi this is not the property for you, although this didn't bother us. One of the tub chairs is broken springs sticking through and one of the downstairs single beds also has springs sticking through. Many of the pans do not work on the hob they are not induction compatible. Garden needs some TLC. Outside chairs on the roof terrace are broken. On the positives Easy to find. Super location for visiting the local beaches and places of interest. Some great places to eat nearby.

Andrew

An excellent property with fantastic views and good facilities. We did not give this 5 stars because one of the lounge chairs had broken springs and some outdoor chairs were in poor condition headroom upstairs was limited, especially for tall people the dishwasher seals had gone, so it leaked. Could do with more smaller saucepans the rubbish hadn't been collected a point often mentioned before, the bins were full by the time we left. The bins said no food waste but there was nowhere else to put it and our enquiries couldn't answer this point no recycling facilities, which is very poor for the environment all other properties in the road had their bins and recycling collected.

The property is lovely big, full of light, and superb views. The facilities kitchen, bathrooms all spotless and well stocked. The welcome pack was one of the best we have had. Well thought out and generous. The internet worked but is very slow and the TV signal also has a poor reception. We were supposed to put the towels in clear plastic bags but the previous occupants or cleaners had used them as bin liners. There were no other bin liners provided and the bins were full to overflowing. Overall it's a superb property and we would happily come back there.

Melanie

This is a beautiful house in a beautiful setting, we would happily stay there again. We loved the views, charmouth and Lyme Regis. The kitchen was well stocked. The house was clean bright and well furnished and laid out There were however a couple of issues. We were there with 4 children 2 babies 22 month old and a 3yr old The patio has 2 sets of steps leading down steep concrete steps but there are no gates or any way of blocking it, which makes it unsafe for small children of which we have 2. A wooden gate on both would make it safe and a child friendly space. There were 2 stair gates in the property. One was not suitable for the stairs at all so could not be used, the other needed to be fixed requiring drilling and screwing so again could not be used. We had requested that the single beds be made up as a big bed, this was not done, we could not find any linen to do it and recieved no reply to our message of concern until 34 days later. The internet is very poor Lastly a caution to small dog owners the garden is not secure

A beautiful house in the most stunning location plenty of space & v well equipped.

We had a wonderful break in this comfortable spacious property. It is perfect for families with children and a pet. The property just needs a fix up re the items mentioned by previous visitors, oven instructions, door repairs, patio and ground floor toilet. Cafetiere pot was missing, which is a shame as we had delicious coffee in our welcome pack. We bought one locally. I did email Lyme Bay, but no response received, however this is a minor issue. There also appears to be a couple of water leaks. The rubbish collection and recycling arrangements were also an issue for us, bins were not emptied and we had to leave bagged rubbish in the house when we left. That aside, we wouldn't hesitate to book again if staying in the area.

Lovely property, just a few little things that could be improved, heated towel ... Lovely property, just a few little things that could be improved, heated towel rail in toilet up stairs not working, twin beds need larger duvets, television reception was poor

Joanne

This is an absolutely beautiful property with stunning views over Charmouth beach. The location is perfect for exploring the area and the property is very well equipped with everything you would need. The only improvement I could suggest is to invest in some new mattresses especially the bunk beds as there were some groans about springs coming through. Other than that we had a magnificent time.

Rachael

Loved this property . Beautiful views . Stunning home with everything you need. Spotlessly clean and equipped . Had a wonderful week .

Rosslyn

Fantastic panoramic views from the large windows. Great open plan perfect for family to be together. Great underfloor heating much appreciated by crawling granddaughter and sitting on the floor play. Well equipped kitchen, appreciated the welcome pack and adequate toilet rolls, hand soap & kitchen roll. A really great place to stay in comfort.

We 3 couples plus children and a dog have just spent a lovely few days at Yarrow over the New Year as the weather was awful it was wonderful to have such a pleasant and spacious house to stay in. Amazing sea views from both balconies and the main bedroom. House is just as it looks in the photos. Great location for Charmouth beach, and we walked over to Lyme Regis just a couple of miles away. Excellent visitors folder in the property with lots of recommendations for things to do, local walks and eateries etc. Would definitely recommend.

A perfect spot for an early Christmas break

Nicholas

Clear instructions on how to turn on heating for upstairs particularly in bathrooms,bedrooms, plus information on how to deal with biowaste for recycling would be useful. Broad band poor and could only get BBC channels on TV. Otherwise nice spacious property for our stay with great view.

Sandra

This amazing house was just perfect. The views were stunning. It was modern and very clean with all you could possibly want for a large group. Perched high above the beach a car would be advisable. The walk to the beach was easy and into town but the walk back quite strenuous. Without the house's high position you wouldn't have a view so well worth the climb. So glad we chose Yarrow. Rubbish disposal could have been made clearer would be my only criticism.

Andrea

Had a fantastic family holiday 6 adults, a 2 year old and a dog in Yarrow, a perfect property for a large mixed group, plenty of room for everyone without being on top of each other. And many thanks for the lovely welcome pack of local goodies on arrival. A great location and only a short walk to beach. Fantastic views of the coast and countryside which can be enjoyed on an extensive verandah or 2 Ample parking for 3 cars. Facilities inside the property were good, all the kitchen utensils and crockery you needed. Hob and extractor on island were great, oven seemed to require longer cooking time and took a little sussing out! Lovely big dining table, great for playing games at in the evening bring your own games as none in the property. Well equipped Utility room a real bonus, lots of room for wet coats and footwear! And a low sink for washing the dog! All bedrooms a good size. Nice shower room and extra cloakroom upstairs, main bathroom downstairs needs a little tlc around bath panel area. Overall, a well maintained and equipped property in a beautiful and quiet location, would definitely recommend. Minor points stair gate wouldnt fit at bottom of stairs. Quite a few cobwebs in downstairs bedrooms. Tv quite small for large space mainly moaned about by male guests

This is our third visit to Yarrow and we were again very pleased with our stay. In particular not only the welcome pack but the starter household items such as dishwasher tablets etc etc. We were also pleased at the provision of kitchen equipment as we ate in most evenings and also the availability of glasses mugs etc. My major feedback is the comfort of the downstairs double bed mattress which probably needs replaced as the springs are too prominent. The wifi is also not brilliant but talking to the neighbours they do not report any problems.

Deborah

Gorgeous place! Fabulous views, roomy and comfortable. A splendid terrace and a lovely garden

Melanie

Disappointed that the patio door didn't open from the kitchen. There was a leak in the utility room. Very disappointed that Sykes didn't honour the NHS Blue Light discount that was advertised at the time of booking.

Exactly what we hoped for as the base for our family get together and birthday celebrations. The location is superb and nearby area perfect for walks and exploring.
