Red House Reviews

We found the house perfect for our family holiday. We had 4 generations of our family and they all enjoyed the facilities. One minor missing element was a high chair as we had a one year old with us.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in your magnificent house. Our only suggestion is to add more information to the instruction book. We found the link to use aga didnt work. We had no idea where our bin was for dog poo. And more information on controlling hot water and central heating would be useful .
Lovely, large space for our family group celebrating my birthday. Our grandchildren cried at having to go home which confirms they loved the weekend here. Plenty of space and games for them to enjoy.
We had an amazing family holiday at the Red House. We made lots of memories, relaxed and enjoyed all the facilities it provided.The space was incredible and great value for money. The location was beautiful, quiet and the views were stunning. We did lots of walking and it was a nice walk down to the beach. The host was very accommodating and friendly, we will definitely be returning. Thanks for a lovely stay.
Lovely property with excellent facilities.
Thank you for providing us with a superb property and base for our family holiday, the house was more than adequately kitted out for the number of us and with so much much space and a great many things to enjoy and keep us busy. We loved the grass tennis court area it was great for football, tennis and the dog. The croquet set was put to good use and was also much fun. With the gym, hot tub and sauna to use too it was all we could have wanted and also had the bonus of lots of lovely walks into Lyme Regis to enjoy what was on offer in the Town. For us it was a perfect location and I think we will be returning in the future.
Matthew
Lovely property, really well equipped and a fantastic place to stay with our big multi generation family group from aged 1 to mid seventies and a dog! Great walks nearby, Lyme Regis was sunny and glorious to visit, but the huge outside BBQ, hot tub and huge lawn area to play lawn games on we brought some also made the house a great place to come back to and spend time.
Suzanne
We had a wonderful stay at The Red House for our family celebration. The house is very spacious, with a lovely outside area. Its all very well equipped and the owners were very helpful. Lovely walks to Lyme Regis and Charmouth from the property. We loved it all and would definitely recommend!
Rachel
Lovely old house with plenty of space. Some minor mainetenance needed but all in all a good stay
A wonderful stay in Red House, its a lovely location with a beautiful walk down into Lyme. The house is well equipped and the owner was easily contactable despite being in America and navigating time zones. We would definitely go back.
We felt so lucky to have this property for a long weekend. Its enormous and theyve thought of everything. The hot tub and sauna are fantastic. Great property for all ages and large groups, enough space to not feel on top of each other and room to share moments.
