What our customers say about their holidays

  As many others said, the door was an absolute pain to get shut/locked - it clearly needs replacing, and mentioning it in the guest info is simply not good enough.

  But the main problem was - Misleading description - no mention of the car park barrier being NEXT to the cabin, or that when anyone drives in or out, which happens quite a lot, the barrier is swung right across the cabin deck steps and entrance so that random strangers holding it open for their companions are standing awkwardly 2 feet away from you, or reminding the driver to get frozen peas on their supermarket trip, etc, while you’re sitting on the deck trying to have a relaxing breakfast. Weekend was especially busy. It was AWFUL. We were hoping for a quiet and private getaway and got zero privacy- people are walking past so close to you, it’s disconcerting. AND “Awake to views of Monmouth Beach” not true - from the cabin we could actually only see the large mobile home in front and their blue Volvo. Not the beach. And finally, “spot of alfresco dining on the front veranda…” not really possible, as the chairs were sun lounger style and no dining table just a small tray sized coffee table. We’ve booked several holidays with Lyme Bay Holidays but this may have been the last.

  The property was very cosy.

  It was clean and tidy. There was air conditioning which was extremely fortunate as we enjoyed wonderful hot weather whilst there. There were however some problems. a) The broken entry door, it has fallen in the frame and required lifting each time to shut. What made this more annoying was it was mentioned in the customer handbook,so obviously it has been broken for some time. It took us 5-10 minutes to shut most days and was heavy, as an OAP this was annoying. b) The toilet seat was wobbly, thankfully my husband managed to fix it. c) Although the information beforehand tells you that the property doesn't have parking but you're next to a public car park, the cost of parking is £1.90 per hour making a big impact on finances. Thankfully we were allowed to park in a private space. Overall the holiday was lovely, good dog friendly beach, and cafes.

  I absolutely loved staying here.

  I felt very safe and comfortable. I really appreciated the eco products and green cloth (same as I use at home). However, after my long drive I was tired and just couldn’t work out how to operate the hob for a cup of tea! But I experimented the next morning and made it work, so more info on that would have been good. I also had trouble finding the tin opener and hair dryer (I assumed there wasn’t one). The heating was easy to use (once I’d googled the controller), so I was lovely and warm when the weather was rough outside. Just a couple of maintenance issues: the curtain pole I think needs attention and the shower door didn’t seem to close properly. But all in all I had a wonderful time! I got plenty of exercise walking into town and in the evenings was able to relax on the sofa listening to the sea and storms outside.

  Fabulous stay at the sea spray, everything you could wish for in one chalet.

  it was situated right by the dog friendly beach which was ideal for us and our furry little dog. the decor was tastefully done, brilliant bathroom with heated towel rail and a godsend of air con. the bed was comfy with plenty of room, a definate return for us and highly recommend for anyone for anyone who are thinking of staying. maybe a long handled sweeping brush would have been good, but that's minor detail.

  Lovely place to stay.

  The only downside is it could be a little noisy being right next to the metal gate. Cars stopping in the night and doors slamming. The small veranda is not safe to sit with a dog off the lead being next to the road as hecould get through. Facilities were excellent but it really needs a hoover to clean a tongue and grooved floor. Very difficult to sweep. We had a lovely time. Thank you.
