Guests say
Waverley is a well-received cottage in Lyme Regis, Dorset, praised for its excellent facilities, stylish furnishings, and lovely garden. Guests appreciate the homely feel, the welcome pack, and the property's proximity to town amenities. Some concerns were raised about steep access and sloping ceilings, but these were generally outweighed by the positive experiences.
The property is generally well-regarded for cleanliness. One review mentioned an issue with unmade beds and dirty linen, which was promptly resolved, and another noted the decking needed sweeping. These appear to be isolated incidents, not indicative of a broader problem.
The location is highly praised for its proximity to the beach, shops, and cafes. The steep access is noted, but the overall convenience and beauty of the setting are consistently appreciated.
Comfort is well-received with mentions of comfy beds and a cozy atmosphere. However, some guests found the sloping ceilings in the bedrooms and the amount of furniture to be a challenge, slightly impacting the comfort level.
Facilities are generally considered excellent, with a well-equipped property and a lovely garden. The lack of Wi-Fi in one instance and comments about the property being overcrowded with furniture suggest room for improvement.
The welcome pack was mentioned positively in several reviews, indicating thoughtfulness. However, as gifts are not guaranteed and not all reviews mention them, it is important to note that such amenities, while appreciated, may not always be provided.

My only negative if I had to give any would be the cleanliness off the decking, this has not been swept for sometime and the last occupants had missed cleaning up after a dog. We sorted this ourselves but would have been nice if the cleaning team had just checked it before our arrival.
