Sustainable Property
Sustonica, the first global sustainability standard for holiday lets.
Our aim is to create lasting holiday memories and we intend to do so both responsibly and sustainably.
To deliver on this we've set out a number of environmental and social pledges which help to focus our efforts;
you can read more about them in our Impact Report.
This is why we've partnered with Sustonica, the first global certification for holiday lets,
to support our owners to be more sustainable.
The Sustonica certification focuses on four key areas: energy conservation, water conservation,
waste reduction and promoting inclusiveness. They are on a mission to become the most widely
recognised sustainability standard for holiday rentals and a catalyst to reduce emissions of holiday
lets and influence guests to reduce their own household consumption too.
Properties that display the Sustonica badge have successfully passed the criteria,
which align with the UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Global Sustainable Tourism Council standards,
and their owner has made a commitment to look after our planet as well as you.
Lots of personal touches that added to the charming character. The kitchen was superbly equipped and there was a very generous welcome pack, in addition to a selection of teas, coffees, condiments, oils and more; there were even some festive decorations and a Christmas tree in the living/dining room which was an unexpected surprise. It was clear that the owners want guests to have a special stay and go the extra mile to ensure this. Everything was much appreciated - thank you and best wishes.

"Lovely cottage in a fantastic location, photos didn't do it justice."
The only thing I would say is that the bathroom is ready for an upgrade, the toilet in particular really needs replacing, looks quite grim inside and the seat is very stained. The owners have made the cottage very homely and had everything and more than we needed. Gate lock needs attention too. Thanks for a fantastic stay
We are delighted to hear you loved the location and the Cottage. We have taken your comments into account regarding the bathroom and improved it, specifically the toilet which has been replaced. It is all sparkling again! The gate is being looked at during the next annual shutdown!

The cottage is beautiful, well equipped and close to the beach.
My only suggestion would be to refresh the carpet a little.
We will definitely return.

Our holiday was spoilt by a lack of communication from customer services
We are still waiting for the promised phonecall
The cottage was gorgeous but the issues we had went unresolved and we weren't listened to
Lyme bay holidays were taken over by sykes holidays and the customer care is now very poor
We are so sorry that you have had issues getting through to Sykes. We have raised this with both Sykes and Lymebay Holidays and have ensured that there is a contact number for Lymebay Holidays within the guest manual which is left in the Cottage.

"Absolutely lovely cottage!"
Stunning garden, very clean & ideally located. Everything you could need, although as a result, no cupboard space for food in kitchen at all. Kitchen hot water tap very hot & could do with a much lighter/thinner duvet in main bedroom during the summer. My only real grip though is the £30 charge to have anything you've forgotten, posted is ridiculous. Otherwise, a perfect holiday home.
Thank you so much for your kind words regarding Hope Cottage!
We have now been through all the kitchen cupboards (Oct 2024) and make more space for storing food. We do hope this helps.

"Wonderful place to stay."
Very comfortable and clean. Welcome bag a lovely treat and lots of information available. I would suggest a Smart tv as those with accounts for Netflix etc could access for those rainy days, especially during the winter months. I was disappointed there wasn’t an option to order logs for my arrival, but this is a small request during winter months when you don’t want to drive out to find some. All in all a lovely peaceful stay during December when the rest of the world is going crazy Christmas shopping!
Thank you for such wonderful feedback.
We can confirm that we have now provided an Amazon Firestick to enable guests to access Amazon Video, Netflix and other 'On-Demand' services. We hope this helps when the weather is not perfect!

"Lovely cottage, comfy bed, very clean."
Front door lock drove me mad as the lock needs replacing and it was always difficult to insert the key from outside as the slim key rarely lined up with the lock.
Also, the front gate latch needs re-fixing as it does not latch easily unless you lift the gate whilst closing. With a dog that's crucial!
We're pleased to hear that you had an enjoyable holiday. Thank you for making us aware of the issues with the door lock and gate latch, we will ask our maintenance team to take a look.

The village itself has everything you could need although the welcome pack was very good for getting us started.

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.
