The location is perfect and a bonus to have parking. There was a good information package on how to work everything. The bed was extremely comfortable. Didn't have any issues with the door (which I had read in previous feedbacks) Would definitely stay here again and will recommend sea spray to family and friends.

We thought it might be cold but not at all. When we arrived to collect the key from the key safe I wasn't able to download the documentation on my phone due to a bad connection. Harry who was working in the office at the time kindly helped out. Already thinking about returning.

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 youâre 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, itâs disconcerting. AND âAwake to views of Monmouth Beachâ 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, âspot of alfresco dining on the front verandaâ¦â not really possible, as the chairs were sun lounger style and no dining table just a small tray sized coffee table. Weâve booked several holidays with Lyme Bay Holidays but this may have been the last.
