Mondeville Reviews

Jamie
We had such a lovely stay! The weather was perfect, sunny and warm all week. The house was spotlessly clean and really well stocked with everything we needed. We loved the hot tub and the pool table - great extras! The view of the sea was stunningand the short walk to the beach was perfect for days out. The beach itself is massive when the tide's out, perfect for kids to play or for long walks. The coastal path nearby is a lovely bonus. We're already planning to come back!
Emma Carter
Really enjoyed our stay! The house was spotless and comfy, perfect for both kids and adults. Great spot for beach walks. Would definitely stay again!
Emma Clarke
We really enjoyed our stay at Mondeville. The location is superb-just a few minutes walk to the beach! The house itself is spacious and feels really homely. The garden is a big plus, especially since it's fully secure for dogs, though you can only get in through a side gate or a bedroom door. The only tricky part was the noise from downstairs when folks were upstairs-it made it tricky to get our baby to sleep, but overall, it was a lovely place and we'd definitely recommend Hide for a stay.
Emma
Comfortable stay, would recommend!
James
Overall, we had a fantastic holiday! The accommodation was top-notchand the location couldn't have been better.
Clara
This property is absolutely fabulous! We found it extremely comfortable with its open plan design. It's just a stone's throw from the seaand the views are simply stunning!
Lucy
This property is absolutely stunning! The views from the upstairs rooms are just amazing; you could easily spend hours sitting and watching. All the local amenities are right at your doorstep, just a few minutes' walk away—great pubs, shopsand a Tesco Express. If you arrive late in the day and are in need of some food, there's a great pizza shop around the corner. The dog friendly part of the beach is to the left after the lifeguards hut on the pebble ridge, which is about 15 minutes' walk from the property.
Kate
We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house, it's in a great location with loads of takeaways and fantastic restaurants nearby. The house was so well equipped and extremely clean and comfortable! We definitely enjoyed a wonderful family holiday here.
Emily
Great property! The location is absolutely fabulous with beautiful views of the beach and sea. It's just a short 5 minute walk to shops, restaurantsand the beach. Such a great property for a lovely UK break. We would definitely return!
