About this property
Monty's Retreat rests in the idyllic location of Anderby Creek in Lincolnshire close to Chapel St Leonards and Skegness, and is a quaint, single-storey beach cottage which is the ideal setting for a small family on holiday or couples travelling together. Small but perfectly formed, the accommodation has everything you could possibly need for a beach getaway. Park up on the driveway where there is space for two vehicles, and make your way into the garden/ patio area where you will be welcomed with a beautiful lake view. The property starts with a delightful sunroom complete with a sofa and dining table and chairs, the perfect spot to soak up the sunshine and enjoy eating and drinking in style. Talking of eating, the kitchen is surprisingly well equipped with all that is needed to produce delicious food for the rest of the holiday party. There is an ideally positioned breakfast bar ideal for guests to pull up a stool, pour themselves a glass of their favourite tipple and keep the designated chef company. After a tiring day out and about in the fresh air, guests can curl up in the comfy sofa area and either catch up with each other’s holiday stories or tune in and zone out in front of the Smart TV. The chilled-out beach vibe continues with the elegant bedrooms, two doubles, which offer a relaxing sanctuary to lay down in and catch some peaceful sleep. Wake up in the morning, jump in the shower and after a hearty breakfast in the sun room, or outside on the comfy corner sofa if the weather allows, you’re good to go. Head to the stunning sandy beach at Anderby Creek which is just a short walk away from the property. The beach is perfect for a lovely stroll, spending a relaxing day chilling out taking in the sea view, or building sandcastles and playing beach games with family and friends. The beach is a peaceful, tranquil place away from the hustle and bustle of the busier tourist locations in the area, which is also dog friendly. Next to the beach car park there is a lovely café, shop and beer garden, which serves hot and cold food, and ice-creams for when the sun is shining. Anderby Creek also has a further shop for any essentials you may need, and two pub/restaurants which serve lovely food and drinks – all within a short walk from Monty’s retreat. If you are up for some adventuring, take a road trip to any of the nearby enchanting towns and villages in the region which include Chapel St Leonards, Skegness, Mablethorpe and Ingoldmells. Monty’s Retreat is the perfect destination for an unforgettable beach getaway.

The place was spotless clean and well laid out . The kitchen utensils were quality items even the pans were good quality and non stick . All instruction manuals are available for all the appliances so you know how to use them . The night light torches were great so much so we have bought some for home . Liquid soap and washing up liquid were also supplied and there were even a few washing machine pods ,dog treats ,cleaning supplies and bin bags absolutely everything you could need . The area is very quiet . Unfortunately we came as the season had ended and the local shop and the beach cafe were closed and even poppas bar was only open a few days a week so we had to travel to find supplies during the week . Ed the owner was very responsive and helpful when we had to message him . I underestimated peopleâs comments about the size of the beds which unfortunately was a real issue for us as three very large adults with bad backs . This should not detract from the property for others . Ed the owner acknowledged this as although he is unable to change the beds in this property has come up with a future alternative that means we could return in the future . The beach was beautiful and even had disabled access to avoid the steep slope up to it . Our Dog was more than happy . This property is probably one of the nicest in the area and would highly recommend it to others wanting a relaxing quiet break .
