We spent a lovely Christmas with all our family. House was well equipped and Christmas decorations were super! Mild weather meant we had great fun in the garden, flying kites and playing hide & seek with the children. The Aga cooked our Limerstone Farm turkey beautifully! Overall Rating: 5 Stars

Monkspath is a delightful detached house with a private heated swimming pool set in extensive private grounds and with coastal viws from all the front facing rooms.

Monkspath is a lovely, secluded property protected by high hedging and large gates which open into the beautiful gardens surrounding the house. There are views across fields to the sea at the front of the house and there are fields and downs at the rear. The house has been furnished and equipped with great care to provide delightful, luxurious accommodation. It is centrally heated and there are fitted carpets throughout most of the property. It sleeps 11 plus a baby in 5 bedrooms. On the ground floor there is a light and spacious sitting room with comfortable sofas, wide screen LCD television / Freesat / DVD and a wood burning stove which provides a pleasant focus for the room during colder weather; a second small attractive sitting room with a sofa, a second LCD television / Freesat /DVD; an elegant dining room with a table and chairs which will comfortably seat 12 people. French doors open from here into a small conservatory where visitors can relax.

There is also an AGA which will be switched on in the colder months and a central table for informal meals. A washing machine and tumble dryer are housed in the adjoining utility room. There are also two separate W.Cs with basins on the ground floor. Stairs lead up to three lovely double bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are very spacious with King Size beds and have en-suite shower rooms with W.Cs. These rooms both have good views across the fields to the sea and one has a balcony. The third double bedroom overlooks the garden and has an en-suite bathroom with hand shower, basin and W.C. The fourth bedroom is also a lovely pleasant room with a full size bunk bed.

A travel cot/high chair can be provided. There is a telephone and WiFi.

In the secluded gardens Monkspath has a delightful heated swimming pool and there is teak garden furniture and a charcoal barbecue. The heated pool is available from mid May to the end of October.

Lots of space, clean, pool and grounds in a great location - what more do you want. The house is wonderful, big, clean and has great facilities. 100% happy and will no doubt return for another visit. Overall Rating: 5 Stars

(Apr 2010) 5 Star Holiday Cottage Customer Rating

By some margin the best hol house we've rented. No complaints at all. Overall Rating: 5 Stars

(Jul 2009) 5 Star Holiday Cottage Customer Rating

The towels supplied for pool use were excellent. A more obvious external name for the house would be an advantage for those arriving in the dark. The paddock was very useful for kite flying. Every age group was well catered for, in our case 3 - 72 years. Overall Rating: 5 Stars
