Lismore House Reviews

Sharon
We had a fantastic week in October in this lovely rental house. The bathroom/shower rather lets it down but otherwise very comfortable, plenty of crockery and cutlery which was ideal as we had a family celebration with my parents who live very nearby. Beautiful short walk down to the beach.
Daniel
The house itself is Beautiful and the location excellent but I would not call this a luxury stay . Poorly equipped and has a real issue with the hot water meaning that getting up and out in the mornings and ready after the beach took forever .It does have lots of room and a brilliant games room. Great for dogs . I feel this house is very expensive compared to other houses we have rented . Response from holidaycottages.co.uk: Thank you for your review. We have passed your feedback onto the owner.
Andrew
Second stay at Lismore, an excellent trip with a group of friends. The hot water / shower situation is an issue but we knew that before visiting and planned our days according. Would definitely return again.
Helen
A lovely big house for a family holiday. Best bits were the downstairs and the garden. Lovely open plan kitchen/dining/settee area. Games room brilliant. Great outdoor area for children and plenty of shade if its hot. BBQ and seating good. Lounger chairs could be updated. Location fantastic for walking into town or to Overstrand along the cliff tops or beach.
Anne
Our second stay at Lismore House and hope to stay again. Very spacious and easy walk to the town.

Lovely roomy house to stay in which is very convenient for both the town and beach.
