Short walk to crabbing on the pier, fossil hunting on Monmouth beach and a small walk into the main town/pubs/restaurants. Kids loved the location as did I. The only negative to the location being lack of parking space (Try to use the house just at the bottom of the garden, lovely owners with a small amount of parking spaces for £13 a day in high season). Lovely old cottage that has potential to be much nicer and would benefit from some TLC specifically on the outside. Some negatives: The garden and specifically around the side is a mess. As mentioned in a previous review, sinks, ladders etc just piled outside the kitchen window. My two kids called me outside when they were playing as they had seen a couple of rats hanging around. Wifi would definitely be a bonus here as I had little phone signal too. Tv reception is basic yes but not worthy of a negative review in my opinion as I do not book stays in a beach cottage to watch tv! The beds are not the most comfortable. Would I stay here again? Yes I would. Could it be better Yes ..the cottage has a lot of potential. At the moment in high season ( my visit was late Aug bank holiday ) it was expensive and probably could find nicer for the money.

Sadly itâs so clear (and I will be following with a serious complaint) that the upkeep of the property is not of interest to the owner. Disgustingly filthy sofa, television didnât work, if you turn the dishwasher on it trips the whole house, went to wash up - no plug, broken dangerous objects/metal/wood at the main entrance to property, not safe for children, what looks like a tip out the kitchen window (ladders old sinks and just a mess) discarded beach stuff from previous stays all thrown out the back. The sad thing is we love the house and location but we wouldnât pay hundreds of pounds to book again unless the owner rectified these issues. We stayed with our son & baby so to have all these other problems occurring and contacting the holiday company for help - when youâve paid to have a rest was really upsetting. I will be in touch with lyme bay holiday for compensation off of our stay.
