Tilly’s Cottage

I absolutely loved staying at Tilly's Cottage, I found it to be very comfortable inside , a home from home, I really loved the beach theme throughout the cottage.

The location was perfect for me, not far to walk across the road to Sand Bay Beach, then go back and relax in the gorgeous shaded garden area. I was lucky to see such amazing sunsets. I will definitely be booking there again.

A great location and comfortable clean accommodation.

Very close to the beach and facilities, plenty to do within close proximity.

Although we enjoyed our stay Tillys really needs some tlc especially the garden which is unusable.

Inside was comfortable enough the bed was very comfy. We had a very bad storm on the first night and it rained in really badly we had to keep mopping up it was running into the lounge.

Overall the cottage was very comfortable.

There was a very good handbook about the cottage, though we could have done with instructions for using the microwave. There were comprehensive instructions about recycling but the requests could not be carried out efficiently because the bins outside were not marked and prior to our stay rubbish had been mixed. The side gate was locked so rubbish could not be put out for collection, which, ironically took place at 8.20am on our leaving day. This is not a complaint, it’s just that to carry out the request the bins must be marked clearly and the means to open the gate available. All in all our visit was a very happy one not least for Georgie (Jack Russell) who loved getting onto the beach. It was a very good centre for visiting places in North Somerset.

This property could be such a gem.

Needs a little more TLC - the cleanliness was not up to standard. The key safe could also do with replacing - we really struggled to open it. Kitchen cupboard doors are worn. Other than that we enjoyed our stay

Could be a super little gem the location is brilliant.

The driveway is difficult to use with a large car even the private space next to the road is very tight. The cottage needs a refurbishment especially the kitchen and bathroom. The gardens are over grown and would benefit from a good pruning or removal especially the rear so it could be used for relaxing.

Fabulous location, right opposite the beach.

Parking on the drive for 3 cars. beautiful cottage, clean, well equipped with a secure garden for dogs. We had everthing we needed during our stay in the cottage. Loved the coffee maker, what a treat. Great communication with Luke the owner. I 100% recommend Tilly's cottage, we loved our stay and didn't want to leave. Very comfortable beds, great shower, lovely towels. Loved walking on the beach opposite the cottage. Such a wonderful holiday with my family. Thank you.

Excellent venue for the family and your pets, excellent communication with owners.

Everything you need for a wonderful stay, we are returning guests and will be visiting again soon. Clean, tidy, well maintained, with everything facility wise that you need to have a peaceful stay. Our sincerest thanks

Wow what a great little cottage.

It was perfect for what I wanted. Quiet,loads of walks, bus every hour Local pub great,had a great chat with Jake. Very knowledgeable about places to visit,new walks to try. Would highly recommend if it's a peaceful escape your looking for.

Really lovely cottage, cosy and quiet ,thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Great location! Loved the beach and walks! Cottage had everything and more than we expected.Loved the extra touches , very thoughtful, a big thankyou to the owners at Tilly’s Cottage! Can’t wait to visit again.

Superb comfortable, little property right opposite (across a road) a tidal and year-round dog friendly beach.

Beautiful bathroom, comfy double bed and good sized bunk beds in adjacent bedroom. Tropical feel to little garden out the back with a small summer type house which was great for storing paddleboards. Nice gated front driveway for private parking with a little grassed area surrounded by shrubbery adjacent to the driveway. Fantastic lockable gated side access to rear garden where an outside tap over decking boards allow for washing off sand from beach and mucky pups. A really nice touch. Kitchen very well equipped including complimentary bread, tea, coffee (and coffee machine), sugar and milk was also a welcome bonus. Dishwasher a super treat as I am the dishwasher at home! Great to have a washing machine at the property also for beach towels and mucky pup towels when needed. Washing machine in the description was also a factor in property choice, however was a little disappointed that the washing machine smelled mouldy and had evidence of mould/mildew on the door rubber and drawer. I did attempt to clean and also put through a disinfect hot wash cycle to try and clear the worst of it. Unfortunately clothes would still come out smelling mouldy. Living room had comfy sofa ,chair and dining table and a tv and fireplace (not that we needed the fireplace) where we could eat, relax in the evenings and also played board games. Lovely little touches of coastal themed pictures and niknaks throughout. Weston-Super-Mare's marine lake is literally a mile's drive around the headland, or a walk through the wooded paths for when tide is low. However we very much enjoyed (and were lucky enough to have warm enough temperatures for) our morning and evening sunset swims and paddles as the high tide times dictated during our time of stay. Definitely a consideration for future bookings to check high tide times for those keen to swim during the day. For us it was not an issue, we just enjoy the beach and coastal walks and atmosphere. We even saw a horse being ridden on the beach one day. And of course having the marine lake so close by was an added bonus. Lovely cafe's either end of the beach, in fact this cottage is very very close to a fantastic cafe which serves great fish and chips as well as crepes and obviously popular with visitors and locals alike with the consistent high attendance during the day and friendly atmosphere. Very friendly and helpful local shop and (no dogs allowed) playground a 10 minute walk away. The neighbours were also very friendly and helpful especially offering their washing line for additional space after a particularly busy beach day with lots of towels (although there is a washing stand and line at the back of the property). Neighbours cat was gorgeous and friendly too and a regular visitor alongside the neighbouring fence, seeming unperturbed by our dog. Our dog extremely curious and not sure what to do with herself by such a calm feline presence! A delightful little place which suited our little family's needs perfectly. Thank you.

Nice position

Lovely stay in a clean little cottage by the sea.

Would recommend if beaches is not about getting in the sea but more about having sandy fun! Very close to lots of amenities, a very good base to get to some of the beautiful locations Somerset offers. Hosts are very welcoming and helpful.

Nothing wrong with the property itself, it’s where it’s located, supposedly on a beach, but it doesn’t tell you that it’s polluted with sewage and you can’t access the sea because it’s predominantly disgusting mud flats.

A fantastic cottage with all comforts you need.

So close to Sand Bay with easy access over the dunes. A lovely secluded back garden. Great to have a park space too

Everything was as promised but they need to sort out the refuse collections as the dustmen didnot come on the Monday and there was a lot of refuse to collect behind a combination locked gate

We had a lovely stay here.

The accommodation had everything you needed and it was a very comfortable stay. The location is fantastic with the beach and some local amenities we’re all very close by. Easy walk into town through some lovely woods.

Having owned a holiday property myself I know that wear and tear is inevitable so although it was visible, I wouldn't take anything away from this property because of that.

I read the reviews before I booked and noted a few things which I looked at for myself when we arrived. The driveway is very narrow- I have a camper van and it was a squeeze to back in to unload however- not impossible and there is an ample sized parking space at the top of the drive which it what I used for the van. My husband got his car in and out of the drive no problem. The property is advertised as sea front and someone had commented about the dunes preventing a view of the sea. Again- I don't think the dunes take anything away from this property and you hardly ever get to see the sea in that neck of the woods anyway the tide goes so low. For us and the dog it was perfect. Straight across the road is a tarmac walkway leading up and down the sea front for those less able but it isn't hard to walk through the dunes to the beach- they aren't massive dunes and the beach is beautiful and a lovely walk from one end to the other. We found the kitchen to be perfectly functionable- the only thing missing for me was a potato masher but that's if I'm being pedantic! There is a lovely cafe/fish bar just doors away and it's licensed which was a winner for us. Eat in, outside undercover or out in the fresh air. A little further down is the pub- rock salt. We didn't eat there but lovely for sitting out having a drink. We didn't use the back garden but the front is a sun trap with a bench perfect to sit on for an afternoon tipple and after the owners left a bottle for us, it was the perfect place to enjoy it. Weston is easily accessible by bus or a 3 mile coastal drive. Burnham is only half an hour away and worth a visit and as national trust members, Tyntesfield was well worth a visit again only half an hour away. Its a perfect village location away from the hustle and bustle but close enough to enjoy the sights.

The area is great for a base.

We booked for a week. The cottage itself is very small. The TV doesn't work properly, the bedding smelt damp and didn't feel clean. On one of the days the neighbour had loud building work taking place, I emailed the owner but had no response.The property needs a deep clean, lots of dog hairs. It would also benefit from a full update. We left early.

Night mare drive way ,we have a large car and found it extremely difficult to reverse in, pruning the shrubs would help.

Unable to use the rear garden due to overgrown trees and bushes.

Kitchen not very well equipped for people cooking meals at the bungalow.

Not everyone can afford to eat out every dayThere was no hand towels for the kitchen or bathroom, we had to buy some.couldn’t access the side gate. Bed in main bedroom was very comfortable, but bunk beds mattresses were rather hard to sleep on. Shrubs etc out the back need pruning back. It’s a nice bungalow and close to the beach and a small shop. We enjoyed our stay.

This little bolt hole is amazing - lovely spot - so nice to relax here - just a few recommendations as a guest - the tv is not the best?

maybe an upgrade is needed - channels are not working on BBC 1,2 & 3 it says its on wales? THATS ok in the daytime as you don't need a tv really - but in winter & the evenings its annoying! Also the gardens are in need of a huge pruning!! plants are beautiful but VERY huge now so could do with some maintenance - could also do with a rug down in the lounge Its a bit slippy for a dog? these are just small observations otherwise id score 5 for all 4 but ive scored 5 overall its lovely just a bit of tlc required i feel but definitely a good stay and property ;-)

I had a lovely time at Tilly's Cottage.

A very comfortable residence, easy to find with excellent access to beaches and the M5 etc. Would definitely recommend to friends and family :-).

The cottage is very small once you get used to everything it’s ok.

The back garden could do with a clear up when we finally got the summer house open I had to sweep it out and get rid of spider webs it just needs a tidy up. Unfortunately the chip shop isn’t open it’s being rebuilt so that just left the hotel which was excellent food very good. We really enjoyed the holiday very relaxing. Thank you for welcome gifts.

The cottage was pleasant and comfortable with a beautiful garden.

However, the description as "beachfront" is misleading. The two photographs give completely the wrong impression. In order to access the beach, it is necessary to cross a fairly busy road, climb steps up a bank, cross a path and then encounter a large area of dunes from which it is impossible to see the sea. The seat in the picture is at least two or three hundred yards along the road, set at the top of steps. Again, it just faces large areas of shrubbery and dunes which completely obscure any views of the sea. In fact there are notices indicating this raised landscape in part of the sea defences.This detracted from the enjoyment of our stay at Tilly's cottage

Shower room could do with up date, shower needs caulking replacing Gone black in places

Could do with warmer quilts and a table lamp in living room as the light sometimes does not come on and a wate bin for living room everything else great def recommend

The cottage was brilliant.

best I've ever stayed in. Lovely location, completely accurate photos and description and holiday wasn't marred by awful weather as staying indoors was a treat_ warm, clean and cosy. Very helpful information re.everything. As there were only 2 of us, we mainly dined at local dog friendly hotel, especially as it was my son's birthday.

We had a lovely time the only thing I would ask is that we could have been able to shut the gate it would have stopped the worry of the dog running out.

It didn’t however ruin our holiday

Great property everything you need all provided for would be a benefit to have handrails to front steps the owners have gone out of there way to make sure you have a happy carefree holiday also i nice touch was the welcome Bottle of wine Milk and bread very clean lots of games books ect lovely rear garden with sun house and toys for children safe.

for puppy all area fenced thank you

We loved our stay at Tilly's Cottage.

From start to finish it was wonderful. The owners were v flexible and responsive in relation to a last second booking. When we arrived, we were pleased to find that the property is right by the sand dunes, so you can picnic/ have your sundowners on the beach. Inside the property is small but perfectly formed with lots of finishing touches to make your stay easy, from a fully stocked kitchen, to netflix, DVDs, boardgames and books. The place was spotless and the back garden was beautifully landscaped. I would recommend this property to anyone with a young family- it is perfect for your needs.

If you are looking for peace and quiet and only 75m from a wonderful, very clean sandy beach, which is totally dog friendly, then Tilly's Cottage is your place.

Sand Bay beach is over a mile long with views across the Bristol Channel to Cardiff. The property is well equipped and more homely than the photos suggest as the owners have added pictures and nick-knacks, We were very lucky with the weather which, of course, was a huge bonus but Weston-Super-Mare is only ten minutes away for attractions and supermarkets.

A bottle of bubbly and lovely bread and milk left for us on arrival, much appreciated, thank you.

However floors were dirty, particularly around edges and skirting boards were filthy, very off putting. The bedroom smelled of the damp which is seen on the walls and window. I wiped down the inside of the window and made sure it stayed open for ventilation, to try and get rid of the damp smell. I recommend white towels not navy, as navy threads come off all over the body when drying. Shower is poor, a trickle of water, difficult to wash hair under and rinse properly, but the water was lovely and hot. Comforable bed. The kitchen surfaces seemed clean and good facilities within, excellent knives, frying pans etc. But no broom or dustpan and brush (I searched everywhere) which were needed. I hoovered up sand everyday. The cupboard door handle had already come off before we arrived. The inside of the lounge window was horribly dirty, due to lack of ventilation. Lounge floor was filthy and dusty under table. This floor had not been properly cleaned (if at all for months). The cottage needs a good deep clean and redecoration with investment in new windows with fanlights. The little pretty 'garden' has been well maintained and is clearly cared for, so I can't understand why the owners have let the inside of the cottage go so much and it is only the start of the season so I would expect a pristine accommodation. Setting is very quiet and we awoke to beautiful bird song every morning. The front garden is lovely, getting the sun all day and a bench at the front would be wonderful, there is plenty of room. A feature could be made of the space out front. The cottages position on the beach road is 'A' star. Dog walks on beach fantastic. Fish and chip shop neaby is excellent, fish, pies, breakfast baps, superb. Sainsburys close by in car 10 mins. Clevedon really nice. We enjoyed our week but would have preferred a cleaner property and I would not book this cottage again on that basis only. If it is spruced up sufficiently the cottage would be 4 star. .

Tilly’s cottage was a lovely little cottage, a stone’s throw away from the sea.

A lovely welcome package (including my favourite Prosecco) which was really appreciated after a difficult journey. Lots of amazing places to walk, some of which were walkable directly from the cottage, where we walked to Weston Super Mare one way and Sand Point (National Trust) the other. Other walks which we drove to were Weston to Uphill and Brean Down (National Trust) which had the most amazing dog friendly cafe and very helpful rangers. Sand beach opposite cottage is dog friendly all year which our dog loved. All local people were extremely friendly and the owners were very friendly and available to contact if needed.

We had a great time in this lovely, well-equipped cottage.

The location is perfect for the beach and is wonderful for long dog walks.

Clean and convenient place.

A clean tidy and very well equipped property and with off road parking and a private rear garden you do get a a bit of a home from home feel here.

The owner was also very helpful and supportive. We spent a very enjoyable and comfortable week at Tilly's cottage at the end of December through to January. It was warm and cosy with absolutely everything we needed. The welcome pack was very welcome indeed and the Christmas tree was a very nice touch. With the beach literally just across the road, Weston-Super-Mare just a short car or bus ride away and lots of other things to see and do in the area, the location in our opinion is perfect for whatever kind of holiday you are looking for.

Lovely clean set up for our week stay here, ample enough parking on the property and enough room even for our German Shepherd.

I’ve just had a lovely 5 nights stay here.

The cottage is situated very near the beach, perfect for walking the dog and seeing beautiful sunsets. Everything you could need is provided plus a lovely welcome pack. Sweet little garden at the rear but not quite dog friendly if you have a small dog, they could get under the side gates, I always take a freestanding 3 sided dog pen, so I was able to make it secure. I would highly recommend Tilly’s Cottage and would stay here again.

TILLY'S cottage was very comfortable .

Kitchen equipment excellent including crockery and glass ware. Good oven and micro cooked a meal most evenings. Bed comfortable. Loved the garden just would have liked a bench on front for afternoon sun. We carried a chair thro from the back garden. Convenient bus to Weston passes cottage regularly used this rather than parking in Weston. Thanks for the prosecco, bread and coffee pods. Parked car on top in space rather than bringing down drive rather narrow.

small but great location

Loved the cottage, perfect for our holiday great quiet location beach literaly across the road, loved walking on there with the dog.

Nothing for kids to do and sea no good to swim in but marina in weston is only short drive away and theres shops arcades and donkey's for entertainment.

Lovely stay at a brilliant location.

Excellent support from the owners. Parking is a little tight.

This property is absolutely filthy Sykes holidays wasn’t interested said the contract is with the owner .

When approached the owner he didn’t want to see the pictures of the filth and said believe you ????? DO NOT BOOK THROUGH SYKES AND DEFINITELY DO NOT BOOK THIS FILTHY COTTAGE .

We had a wonderful week.

The property was lovely especially the garden and the location was perfect. The only (very minor) complaint was that the cleaner had left the hoover in a very dirty state, which we had to clean before we could use it, and there was no first aid kit, only a packet of paracetamol. The pillows in the master bedroom could probably do with replacing. None of this affected our enjoyment. Thank you for a lovely holiday.

The cottage was a delightful place to stay, and being so close to the beach was an added bonus.

Great location, well equipped comfortable cottage with caring hosts.

Great little cottage, spotlessly clean, really well equipped and all the instructions for arrival, appliances etc very clear but best of all is the location, right opposite the beach.

Highly recommended.

Absolutely perfect for why we were in the area.

A calm quiet bolt hole to support the excitement/anxiety of house viewing and decision making around our relocation and downsizing. I kept thinking how perfect it would have been for our kids in the late 80's 90's. Just open the front door and out onto the beach. Freedom. As they are in their late 30's now bit of a late discovery. However it was something similar for our terriers and in a couple of years we know where to take the grandchildren for a holiday.

Tillys Cottage was the perfect beachside retreat.

All of us had the most wonderful time. Totally relaxed and what a position. We walked the coastal path and beachcombed. The weather was cold and crisp an bright. No rain. The facilities were excellent and so close to the little cafe and chip shop. In fact it was the perfect holiday, one of my best. I celebrated my 50th Birthday there, very memorable for lots of reasons. I hope to return again soon. I’m going to tell everyone about Tillys Cottage. Xx

A lovely beach front bungalow that was ideally situated for our stay.

Weston wood was also just a 5-10 minute walk away. There aren't many places that offer as easy access to such a combination. The bungalow was bright and clean and owners had kindly provided some food essentials and treats so there was no need to immediately pop out to the local shops.

Tilly's Cottage was the perfect place for an autumn break.

As soon as we walked through the door we could tell that a lot of love and care has gone into the cottage. A lovely welcome pack was very gratefully received and the owners have obviously gone to a lot of trouble to make sure everything you might need for a comfortable stay is to hand. The cottage was spotlessly clean with lots of spare towels/linen if needed and the friendly communication from the owners made us feel that - had we needed to ask for anything (which we didn't) - nothing would be too much trouble. The time of year meant we didn't take advantage of the small outside area and summer house but I imagine they would provide a very relaxing spot during the warmer months. In very close proximity to the spotlessly clean and unspoilt beach (lovely for beach walks), the cottage was also in walking distance of several lovely pubs/restaurants. We would definitely return if in the area again.

What a lovely little cottage, very modern and comfortable.

Will definitely return soon! Loved the location, right on the beach, no need to use the car and find somewhere to park, literally across the road, our dog loved it. Pretty place, with the local chips shop and pub on your doorstep. The cottage was lovely to chill out in, thoroughly enjoyed our stay, we would loved to have stayed another week!

We had a great time at the cottage.

It is small but perfect for a couple or small family. Facilities are modern and clean and everything one would need for a comfortable stay. Just across the quiet Beach Road and you are on the dunes by the beach. Our little cocker spaniel loved the beach and the sea. I was able to get the car off the road on to the drive which has a gate across the top. The front and back gardens were both secure for small children and dogs. A 2 minute walk to a chippy and a 10 minute walk to a small local shop. A 3 minute walk to a hotel restaurant and a 15 minute walk up the hill to the New Castle pub although there is no pavement and it can be dark. Loved it!

The owners was very helpful and went out of their way to help.
