    “Not the best stay that this cottage … firstly it’s not family friendly as described the property is located on the corner of a busy road so when having to park the car across the road on a evening it’s not very safe !”

    It’s also does have a damp smell to the cottage . I have been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and I get very cold on an evening, the Central heating is locked so you’re not able to put the heating on just to take the chill away ,you have no were to dry wet towels items of clothes ( only a small wooden aire me in the utility room which you only get a few pairs of underwear items shall we say) On booking our weeks stay it’s stays that starter for woodburning stove, included in the ...

    It’s also does have a damp smell to the cottage . I have been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease and I get very cold on an evening, the Central heating is locked so you’re not able to put the heating on just to take the chill away ,you have no were to dry wet towels items of clothes ( only a small wooden aire me in the utility room which you only get a few pairs of underwear items shall we say) On booking our weeks stay it’s stays that starter for woodburning stove, included in the price. however this is not the case … I even had a mouldy honey spoon in the cutlery drawer. I sent a message to the owner and the gentlemen, that looks after the property… that he will speak to the owner about the heating this was never resolved ! I have all correspondent text messages that shows they never replied I have spoken to Sykes to try and resolve this matter , This is their reply Dear Mrs Midgley, Thank you for contacting us regarding your booking at Pound Cottage. The owner has advised they do not wish to offer compensation as you did not give them any chance to rectify the issues. If you wish to pursue compensation then this will have to be done via third party means such as the small claims court. We will now close the case. I did sent txt message to Anthony/ Jacqueline and I think over 3 days it’s Long enough to rectify any issues and yet they didn’t !!

The property

Settled in the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in the village of Uplyme is Pound Cottage.

This charming, detached holiday home benefits from a patio with hot tub, views of the far-reaching countryside from the bedrooms and a welcoming living area perfect for small families or couples looking to explore the Jurassic Coast.

Be welcomed by a homely sitting room where you can snuggle up in front of the woodburning stove while your partner gets acquainted with the fully-equipped kitchen.

Enjoy this delicious meal at the dining table before stepping outside to indulge in a soothing soak in the hot tub, a wonderful place to admire the stars as they begin to fill the sky.

When sleep calls, head upstairs to wash off the day in the sleek bathroom before catching your rest in either of the doubles or the single bedroom.

Find local stores in the heart of Uplyme where you can stock up on necessities and enjoy evenings out at the Talbot Arms, a delightful pub serving a variety of meals and drinks.

Pound Cottage lies conveniently near the path leading you into the centre of Lyme Regis where you can savour sunny days on the golden shores of Lyme Regis Beach while the little ones splash around in the azure.

The town also houses the Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium, a wonderful place for a family day out thanks to its displays of local sea life and pools where guests can hand feed fish.

Keen ramblers can join the South West Coast path which runs an impressive 630 miles providing guests with countless opportunities to admire seaside towns like Charmouth and Seaton.

Adventure awaits on the Jurassic Coast at Pound Cottage.

About the location

UPLYME

Lyme Regis 1 mile

The beautiful countryside surrounding the village of Uplyme, on the borders of Devon and Dorset, is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, criss-crossed by bridleways and footpaths including the East Devon Way, and providing perfect country walks and superb views. The area was chosen by TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall for his River Cottage HQ at Park Farm, where you can treat yourself to a great meal. Just a short drive takes you to the stunning Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis. This delightful historic seaside town boasts a maze of narrow streets, with an interesting array of shops and cafes, whilst the sandy beach lends itself to great bathing and watersports, and the bustling little harbour offers regular fishing trips, or try your hand at fossil hunting. Within an easy drive is the quaint town of Axminster, or how about a ride on the Seaton Tramway? A glorious location for a varied and interesting holiday.
