Enchanting cottage by the sea
On first stepping into the cottage, I was enchanted by the beautiful octagonal living room and the fascinating decor. The artworks in the house are lovely and quirky; everything we needed was supplied; and everything was clean. We briefly met the owners and the lovely woman who arrived to do the cleaning, and I can honestly say that this architectural gem is the nicest place I have ever stayed in through any holiday let. Fascinating story behind the Monday cottage (and its neighbouring days-of-the-week cottages). Oh, and it's just over the road from stunning Castlecliff Beach! I will definitely stay in Monday Cottage again!

Monday Cottage is the cutest cottage. Compact, comfy and full of interesting memorabilia. The adjacent park and beach are such a bonus.

Weekend break
The cottage is quirky and unusual. Great secure backyard for dogs. Cottage was clean and comfortable. Property owners easy to contact and sorted wifi issues straight away. Both beds are in the same room but a screen gave privacy. which was fine with us and TV is above the double bed . Easy drive to the City.

Unhappy
The property was cluttered and the number of electric plugs that were in multi power boxes could have been a fire risk. The toilet was extremely small and anybody with long legs had no hope of sitting on it normally!!!! The TV was in the bedroom and the lights from the switches shone in your eyes while trying to sleep. I turned it all off.
