Guests say
Anne's Pantry in Uplyme is a charming and cosy cottage praised for its cleanliness, welcoming atmosphere, and thoughtful touches such as a generous welcome pack. It's well-located for exploring Lyme Regis and offers a comfortable stay with a quaint garden. Some guests noted the steep steps and parking challenges, but overall, the property provided a delightful holiday experience.
The cottage received compliments for its cleanliness, with guests finding it clean and well-maintained, though one review mentioned areas that had been missed, suggesting minor improvements could be made.
The location is appreciated for its proximity to Lyme Regis and scenic walks, but the busy road and parking difficulties have been points of concern for some guests.
Guests found the cottage comfortable and full of character, with comfortable beds and a cosy atmosphere. However, concerns about the steep steps to the bedrooms and the fit of the main bedroom suggest comfort could be enhanced for some guests.
The property is well-equipped, but feedback indicates that the steep patio steps, the small burner not working, and inadequate lighting detract from the overall quality of the facilities.
Guests were delighted by the thoughtful welcome pack, though it should be noted that such amenities are a courtesy and may not be guaranteed for every stay.

However we were unhappy that the cottage is right on an extremely busy and noisy road, and that this is not made clear on the write up for this property. It only says that it is in a rural setting. You cannot stop anywhere near to the property to unload, and the only parking is a few spaces slightly up on the other side of the busy road. If all the spaces are taken thatâs a problem. The cleanliness was ok on the whole but there were areas that had been missed and the cleaning needs improvement. Would stay in Uplyme again for sure but not here because of its location.

Clean and a wonderful welcome pack on arrival. Beds were comfortable. My children absolutely loved the bedroom and loft bedroom. Great location, particularly for us as we have family in the area. We would absolutely book again

The cottage was warm, clean and decorated with Christmas tree, lights and festive decorations. Will definitely visit next time we stay in Uplyme. Keep up the good work.
