"The apartment was lovely and in very good location but had a musty smell that ruined a bit the overall good impression of all the effort put in this apartment to make it look trendy and luxurious."
It was very clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. We really liked Beer it is such a lovely place and the apartment was right in walking distance to everything.
Dear Nanita, I’m so pleased that you liked the apartment, and that you enjoyed your stay in Beer. But I am so sorry that there was a musty smell on your arrival. I will get this looked into by Lyme Bay Holidays. Please don’t hesitate to contact them if there was a problem. They are very good at sorting out these sorts of problems. I hope that you will come back again, and the musty smell will be eradicated. Thank you for your positive comments. Kind regards Catherine Property Owner

"Just got back from a weeks holiday in Beer ."
We stayed at apartment 1. Durham house . We walked into a warm and welcoming place. Spotlessly clean and everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay . Right in the heart of the village. The village shop and bus stop across the road . Other facilities, bars, restaurant's chip shop , and shops in a short walking distance. The beach is also nearby, it’s a pebble beach, lots of things to keep you busy. We took the coastal path to Seaton which is quite a hike but if mobile it’s a good walk. We also took the bus to Sidmouth and drove to Lime Regis . . We took our dog with us and everyone in Beer was dog friendly. Definitely worth a visit and stay in the comfort of your own apartment.

We are glad that you found the flat to your liking, and that you found that the flat is well placed for local amenities. You will be welcomed back for sure. It sounds like you had a lovely holiday. Have a good evening. kind regards Catherine Property Owner

"Apartment was is a good location in Beer village and very presentable."
However it was let down from day one by finding a dirty towel in the middle of the bathroom floor and the lack of any toilet paper, we also had to contact the management agency due to rodent activity in the apartment during our stay

"A lovely spacious apartment in an excellent location at the top of Fore Street in Beer."
We really felt part of the village. What a great space for two people! We loved the large kitchen diner and the way the flat flowed through the bedroom to the bathroom at the back. We had everything we needed for our three night stay. The parking permit was a very welcome benefit which was kindly included in our rental. The outdoor space was a plus and we sat in the sun a couple of times. The only thing we didn’t appreciate were the very dated heart ornaments everywhere and the ‘love, laugh, live’ signs - even painted on the wall!
Hi Sally, We are very pleased that your enjoyed your stay. Welcome back anytime. We are sorry that you did not appreciate some of the deco. Everybodies taste is different. We hope that you will come back despite the hearts and captions on the wall. Best wishes Catherine Property Owner

"Very good quality but we had a lot of flies in the bathroom about 30 to 40 didn't know where they were coming from."
Hi Paul, We are so sorry that you had a fly invasion. This is the first time that we have had this problem. We will get this problem looked into. Otherwise I am glad you liked the flat. Kind regards Catherine P.S we are sorry that you found the bed uncomfortable, we will replace the lumpy mattress for a new one that's not lumpy or sags in the middle. Property Owner

The property
Located in the heart of the picturesque fishing village of Beer in East Devon, is the wonderful one-bedroom apartment at Durham House.
Furnished and equipped to a high standard, this ground-floor accommodation is ideal for a couple wishing to enjoy all that this seaside village has to offer.
Beer is situated on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and its picturesque cliffs, including Beer Head, form part of the South West Coast Path, making this a popular choice for walkers or visitors at any time of the year.
A property built using the local Beer stone, Durham House offers spacious accommodation with a wealth of characterful features typical of the late Victorian era, including a beautiful feature fireplace.
The open-plan living space is welcoming and homely with the large bay window flooding the room with light, while the kitchen and dining areas have doors which open onto a rear courtyard, providing the ideal spot to unwind with a book and enjoy a cold glass of bubbly.
A welcome pack for your stay ensures a great start to your holiday and includes milk, tea and a selection of locally sourced produce and treats so you’ll feel at home from the moment you arrive.
After a long day, find the charming, king-size bedroom designed for tranquillity and catching up on some well-earned rest; steps lead to an elegantly-presented, en-suite bathroom where you can indulge a long soak and complete your evening routine before sloping off into a deep sleep.
Beer is nestled on the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline, famous for its quarried stone that has been used in many historic buildings such as Exeter and St Paul's Cathedrals.
The breathtaking beach is just a short stroll away and is a popular spot for swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking, where you can try your hand at something new if you’re feeling up to the challenge!
Why not join one of the local mackerel fishing trips which run regularly or simply watch the local fishermen with their traditional fishing boats bringing their catches ashore?
When it comes to food, there is no shortage of options for eating out with Beer having a fantastic choice of restaurants and pubs offering local food and of course, fresh seafood; be sure to also sample a pint of Beer at the aptly-named Barrel of Beer.
The nearby seaside town of Seaton is a great place to visit, offering The Wetlands Centre, made up of three nature reserves with nearly 4km of level trails and broadwalk through beautiful marshland and reed beds alongside the River Axe estuary.
Lyme Regis, renowned for fossil hunting and the iconic Cobb harbour, is another favourite and well within reach for a memorable day out.
Apartment 1, Durham House is an excellent choice with so much to see and do at anytime of the year.
About the location
BEER
Seaton 1.5 miles; Lyme Regis 9 miles; Sidmouth 9.5 miles; Exeter 25 miles.
Beer is a small picturesque fishing village on the south Devon coast near Seaton. The shingle beach is very sheltered, backed by limestone cliffs and was once fertile smuggling territory, plus contraband was hidden in nearby caves, which are now a popular tourist attraction. Beer is situated on the stretch of Devon coastline, known as the Jurassic Coast, a designated World Heritage Site, and the village offers sloping streets lined with picturesque stone houses and cottages built on many different levels of the steep valley sides. There are a good range of shops, friendly cafes, restaurants and pubs in Beer, plus just outside the village is the popular Pecorama Gardens, which are perched on the hill overlooking Lyme Bay. Pecorama boasts the Beer Heights Light Railway and indoor model railway exhibition, along with a children's play area. Beer is a unique Devon fishing village and a great place to stay.
