Overview

Visitors return year after year to Gannet Chalet for a rare opportunity to stay right on the beach. Once you come you will be hooked. There is nothing quite like it. Situated on the East Beach, Gannet is the last of five chalets and the only one with a private large decked area and uninterrupted views towards Chesil Beach. We think it is the best sea view in Devon! Gannet offers a perfect escape.

Gannet has a private wood decked platform with outdoor dining table and bench.

Kitchen, fully equipped with Calor gas cooker & Hob, Microwave and Fridge.

Living room with sea view balcony with seating units, a wide range of books, games and a small Sony TV. 

Bedroom 1 - Double bed  

Bedroom 2 - Twin beds

Bathroom has integral bath/shower, heated towel rail, hand basin and WC

Free Parking for 2 cars in the car park

Paid Laundry facilities next to the cafe. 

Please note there is a 2.2 metre height restriction for the car park

Access- Once parked in the car park, guests will need to walk up the field at the rear of the East Beach chalets, there is a gate with steps that lead onto the beach (shown in photos), walk along the pebbles to the chalet. Day to day, you should be able to walk along the pebbles, you just may get wet feet from the stream!

Positives: excellent location. Very useful to have patio with a gate. Reasonably presentable. Bedding was of good quality. Lots of clean towels. Chalet overall felt solid and comfortable and had a nice family atmosphere. The complimentary voucher for internet was very helpful. Free parking arranged through Sweetcombe in advance by registering number plate. For improvement: all of the storage spaces under the beds and sofas were full. There were many woodlice (alive and dead) in the bathroom and in the twin bedroom. We found some had crawled in our suitcases. There were cobwebs everywhere, especially the bathroom. The door furniture to the bathroom needs replacing as it is loose. The entrance door to the chalet is also in need of replacement: furniture and hinges very loose. All of the kitchen implements - cookware, crockery, cutlery - need washing and/or replacing. The kitchen would benefit from a deep clean. The lightbulb above the cooker is in a dangerous position. The Henry vacuum cleaner bag was filled to the rim, something we have experienced before with Sweetcombe, so this time we had the foresight of bringing a replacement bag, as none was in the chalet.

Response

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the trouble to write a review. We are really pleased to hear that you enjoyed Gannet Chalet and its location. Thank you for your feedback, we pride ourselves on the presentation of properties for guests and are sorry that on this occasion it was not up to our high standards. If something has slipped through the net we are always happy to resolve whilst you are there. We cannot resolve anything for you once you have returned home. We have looked into the issues you raised and resolved where able to do so, unfortunately the location of the Beach Chalets means wildlife can access the chalets more readily! We do hope to welcome you back to Branscombe Beach soon, Kind regards, The Sweetcombe Team.
