“The property was clean and tidy.”

Everything was there that we needed for our stay. The outside space was excellent. The property was small but adequate for us. Easy access to the beach,shops and pubs. Plenty of places to eat. On the negative side,the sofa bed in the lounge was very uncomfortable to sit on. The other thing was opening and closing the door ,when using the key. We had a love / hate relationship. Otherwise we enjoyed our holiday

I am so pleased you enjoyed your holiday. A new sofa is being delivered later this month - I am sorry that this was not in time for your visit. Closing the door firmly does the trick, we find! Property Owner

“Location was excellent, Cleanliness of bedding, towels was good, what let it down was general grubbiness (pull cords, control knobs and shower (mould)), the sofa could do with a steam clean.”

In general the place looked tired and needs a bit of TLC. As for comfort the sofa (bed) is one of the most uncomfortable things We have ever sat on, as for the stools ok if your 12 years old, in the end we had to use the patio chairs. The other niggle was shall we say the compactness with cabinets placed so that you back you head if not careful and the having to crawl lengthways into bed (not a major issue but it all adds up)

- Paul, June 2025

I apologise for the sofa - it has taken me a long time to find a replacement that matches it for size and colour but one is currently on order and being delivered in July. I am sorry this was not in time for your visit. Any cleaning issues should be reported to Lyme Bay Holidays who manage this for me. The chalet is compact and so furnishings and cabinets have been chosen to maximise space and storage, and this can be seen in the photos. The stackable stools that fit under the fold-down table were the only ones I could find that size - most available nowadays are bar stool height. Property Owner

“The property was exactly as described.”

We had everything we needed. Everything worked apart from a wall light in the lounge. The ceiling light wasn't enough to reach the area that the wall light should have covered. The wall light needs a bulb. There was a very minor water leak by the wc. Clean water and very minimal. My husband is allergic to pets and his allergy was triggered by something in the chalet. Possibly someone had recently taken a dog in there. An outside light would have been helpful. The mattresses on the bunk beds were uncomfortable. Especially the one on the lower bunk. It has springs and they were squeaky and uncomfortable to sleep on. Despite these minor inconveniences we enjoyed our stay.

- Julie, December 2024

I am pleased you enjoyed your stay, and thank you for your comments. The wall light fitting was not functional when I bought the chalet, but we made the decision to leave it as removing it would have left marks. The main ceiling light is on a dimmer switch which at its brightest we have always found adequate. I am sorry your husband experienced an allergic reaction, but I am mystified as, to my knowledge, there have been no dogs in the chalet - it is pet free and only ourselves have stayed there since the beginning of October. Early last year there was a problem with high water pressure at the site causing cisterns in many chalets to overflow, I am guessing this has recurred. I am sorry your children found the bunk beds uncomfortable and will replace the mattresses before the chalet reopens. Property Owner

“This is a lovely little chalet, ideal for 2 adults, it was very clean and was supplied with all we needed.”

The toilet was on the small side but adequate. Nice shower, you just need to adjust the shower head to an angle which prevents water escaping onto the floor. Sofa was on the firm side but the bed was most comfortable we have had in a holiday home. We spent all day out and about as the weather was superb. An extremely quiet location but so close to the centre of town and a bonus of being able to park right outside. We definitely would like to stay here again next year.

- Judy, September 2024

Thank you for this lovely feedback, I am so glad you had a good holiday. Property Owner

“Parking was fine, but could be an issue, with some people, parking inconveniently outside your property, each space should be numbered.”

- Anne, September 2024

The parking is an informal arrangement set up many years ago. Many spaces, including mine, are numbered and we have always found people to be very respectful. I’m glad you didn’t have any issues. Property Owner
Victoria July 2024

“We enjoyed our stay in Granny's Teeth, we loved how close it is to Monmouth and Front beach - a 5 minute walk (if that).”

Because we had such amazing weather we didn't need to make use of the huge selection of games and books but there are plenty to choose from. Parking is a little nerve-wracking but we were able to park right outside the property. Neighbours are friendly and the evenings were very peaceful.

- Victoria, July 2024

I am so pleased you enjoyed your stay. We have always found the site quiet and friendly and have never not been able to use our parking space, though I know negotiating the site in a car can be a challenge! Property Owner
Nigel June 2024

“Very little to fault about the property, cleanliness was first rate, bed comfortable, kitchen well equipped and as a bonus a washing machine, saving us bringing home two weeks of dirty laundry.”

The view from the terrace was beautiful, looking towards the sea at sunset, whilst enjoying a cool drink. Only thing I could fault and it's probably minor, is that the sofa was a bit hard, maybe it needs new foam in the cushions.

- Nigel, June 2024

I am so pleased you liked the chalet. I am on the lookout for a new sofa but have been unable to find anything similar as yet… Property Owner
Anna May 2024

“The property is very well located, very convenient for a family of 4 with kids, quick access to the water front.”

Overall the property is ok, however the first impression when we opened the door was the closed up smell, I opened the windows for a while to try to ventilate a bit and also the top bed bunk bar is loose.

- Anna, May 2024

I am glad you enjoyed the chalet location. I was staying there for the week leading up to your arrival and we had the patio doors open a lot, so I think the smell you noticed was more probably that of the varnished wood panelling which can get strong on a warm day, as that Friday was. Thank you for alerting me about the bunk bed bar. Property Owner

“You won’t get bitten if you stay at Granny’s Teeth!”

It’s a perfect chalet and located in a perfect spot. The view is superb. Clean accommodation with everything you might need available. Lots of books and games to read or play, if you have time and energy after spending all day on the beach and in the sea! I would happily stay here again.

- Linda, August 2022

Thank you so much, I am glad you enjoyed the books and games. Property Owner
Hazel June 2022

“Loved it but the loft ladder is an obstruction that could easily be resolved.”

Cupbord next to toilet sink makes it hard to use the sink. Location perfect and quiet. We were sad to leave.

- Hazel, June 2022

Thank you for your feedback. Apologies that the ladder was left out, it is usually packed away. We have ensured that this is done going forward. Very happy to hear you enjoyed your stay and hope to welcome you back soon. Property Owner
