😀 - The location couldn’t be better. We chose it because we were traveling with an 89 year old, many of the other properties on and near the front in Lyme have a lot of stairs, but No12 is very very convenient for a stroll along Marine Parade, the Cobb, sea front pubs and restaurants, the beaches including Monmouth beach, and if you can take your time walking up through the gardens, the town centre. The house is on two levels and there are a few extra steps here and there as well, but they were manageable and it is very well equipped. There is a walk in shower in the downstairs loo, and a bath with shower attachment upstairs. Some of the ceilings, particularly upstairs bathroom, are sloping so mind your head, but it all adds to the charm. I loved the skylights which could be left ajar for some nice sea air. There is only a nice view from the landing, most of the windows are right next to the hill but traffic noise doesn’t seem to be a problem, we didn’t notice. The kitchen is very well equipped with loads of extra cutlery and crockery, and our hosts left us some milk, tea and local fudge which is a nice touch. The beds are comfy and the rooms beautifully decorated, there’s an enormous sofa to relax on and an even more enormous TV. The living room is a bit dark and the lovely lamp isn’t quite enough but it does look cosy. Dining room area is spacious with 6 chairs and nice and bright when the lamp is on. Parking the car is super convenient, just over the road from the house and so nice to have a space near the seafront, there aren’t many. I would definitely recommend No12. 😞 - Living room a bit gloomy, and I guess the steps between the dining area and living room are pretty steep even for just middle-aged knees! I got a message asking me to strip the beds which I’m not used to having to do but that’s possibly because I had downloaded their own App, I don’t think communication through booking.com ever asks for that! These are niggles though, we loved our stay and I would definitely stay again.
