Ok but could be so much better
Came here for a weekend getaway but didnt quite meet up to expectations. It was labelled as a luxury escape yet lacked basics such as milk for a cuo of tea on arrival or shampoo and conditioner. We stayed in a studio but found there werent even wine glasses yet there was a cork screw, and there was insufficient cuttlery as if things had gone missing and hadnt been replaced. The room wa snice enough, but the bed spings very noisy whenever you moved and the room was very light in the morning easpecially given there was a small glass pane in the door that couldn't be covered. We also found that the noise from other units travelled easily and we could hear people laughing downstairs. Location was great however and lots to do in the area. The other things to note was that there were a couple of larger groups that were quite loud and so for a couple looking for a quiet break it wasnt the place for us. However, if your a group lookkng for a place to all stay it might be perfect for you.

Stayed in suite, facilities fine but was one of the warmest weeks of the year and the room had only a small opening skylight. There was a floor fan but still stifling. That the only criticism - staff friendly and went the extra mile. Nice relaxed stay apart from the stifling room temperature. If not so hot would have been five stars.

The room was beautiful and it was nice to have separate bedrooms and a fully stocked kitchen with big refrigerator. Grounds are beautiful and it was a quick drive down to Lyme Regis where we spent quite a bit of time enjoying the coast.

Shocking
A few converted barns in the middle of a working farm. Still run by the farmers. A luxury apartment was awful. Stains on the floor and mattresses. Cobwebs and dust everywhere. For £250 a night. AVOID!!

Cranberries Hideaway is a hidden gem in the heart of the countryside, and a stones throw from Lyme Regis. The owner is the nicest man, super helpful and accommodating. The rooms were beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. Would definitely recommend this B&B which also offers self catering too.

Wouldn’t describe as a hotel and spa, rather b&b
Not a typical hotel and spa having done many luxury stays. This is more informal and would perhaps be better advertised as a b&b as a more accurate description. Hotels tend to make the beds everyday and replenish the bedroom with water and tea etc, and the spa’s are highly luxurious. This wasn’t the case and is more basic, e.g polycotton sheets, ageing off white towels, lumpy pillows, marked carpets, not quite the high end or high quality expected from what they advertise it to be, however once we got past the this is was nice a break. The communication on check in wasn’t grand and we found things a bit disorganised amongst the staff but I found that if you asked for things the staff would happily help. The spa is a nice add on but if you’re going with the intention of a luxurious spa you might be a tad disappointed. All in all, nice place if looking for a down to earth place and plan to spend more time out and about rather than in a spa setting.

Disappointing
On arriving at cranberries hideaway it looks beautiful and luxurious. When you enter your cottage it is definitely not luxurious. Cobwebs and dust. Nothing matches. The old brown leather sofa was worn, the sofa cushions and curtains smelt horrific, like old stale chip fat. My husband phoned and arranged some extras as it was my birthday the day of arrival. For £60 we got a bottle of prosecco and some fake stained rose petals on the bed..... FOR £60!!!!!!! The cranberries host weddings so dread to think how many beds those petals have been on. Very tacky. Obviously i asked for my money back and to be fair it was put back in my bank in a matter of hours with a text stating we could keep the prosecco as a token of good gesture. The customer service is none existant as well as the house keeping. We didnt have our towels or bedding changed in 4 nights. For £225 a night we expected a lot more luxury. On a slightly more positive note, lyme regis beach is 15 minutes drive, be prepared to fight for parking and book ahead if eating out in the evening. Would definitely not stay again.
