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.

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.
