About this property
Perched at the edge of Monmouth beach and boasting extensive sea views, this property is simply delightful. With a large decking area and sleeping for four, Ammonite is the perfect base for a family or couple looking to explore the Jurassic coast.

The open-plan living area of this property is bursting with everything you will need to make your trip a delight, with stylish sofas for relaxation, an amply fitted kitchen and a dining area for four, as well as beautiful wooden walls painted a faded blue as though the cottage has been submerged in the sea itself, and the homely paintings and décor only add to the wonderful sea theme of this property. A double bedroom with the theme of blue makes the perfect place to settle down for the night, with storage and furniture painted in the same vintage look style as the walls, adding a tasteful theme to the room, and there is a second bedroom where a single bed with a pull-out truckle bed will make a great space for children, decorated with a pale blue and driftwood ornaments. After spending the day at the beach, a bathroom with a walk-in shower will shake the seaside chill from your bones and you will be delighted by the décor in here, including a mirror made to look like a sips window.

A reading light in the main bedroom would have been useful and after dark there is no street lighting if walking to a restaurant .However it did not spoil a very happy few days for us.

The chalet is beautifully set up and the decor is lovely. The location is perfect and we had a fabulous week. There are so many little touches that made the stay perfect for us and for our dog. We are ready looking at returning next year. Itâs a beautiful retreat.
