  • "The property was in a wonderful location with all the facilities to make us comfortable."

    . The only things that let it down was the lack of a welcome pack when we arrived. A loaf of bread and 2 pints of milk go along way. The car park was absolutely pitch black, and there was items left in the dishwasher from previous occupants.

  • "Cosey and convenient, nicely laid out."

    Easy parking and handy for shops with a short walk to the beach. Can highly recommend.

  • "Enjoyed a lovely holiday in this spotlessly clean and lavishly equipped cottage."

    The situation is perfect - a short walk to the beach - and the off-road parking a bonus. Eating places abound within strolling distance, the locals are friendly, and most of the shops are independently owned. We love this village and hope to return soon.

  • "We loved the location."

    The property was spacious and included all of the expected facilities. The bedding and towels were all top notch. We had a broken toilet seat in the downstairs cloakroom which we reported and it was replaced within 24 hours. We had a great holiday so are reluctant to criticise but there are a couple of things we should mention. The wet room (which is the downstairs en-suite) is tired and in need of a refresh. Whilst the cottage was fairly clean, there were some shortcomings which we felt were mainly due to the end of holiday cleaners probably not having sufficient time to do a proper job. There was a lot of dust on the doors and skirting boards, and a fair amount of mould in the bathrooms plus the radiator in the wet room was very rusty. Finally, we think it would be very helpful if the access to the car park was mentioned in the description of the cottage as it is very narrow and because of car parking on the road opposite the cottage, can be difficult in anything larger than a medium size car. That said, we loved it and would certainly return.

  • "Fantastic property it was like moving from home to another home as it had ..."

    Fantastic property it was like moving from home to another home as it had everything in it iron ironing board coffee machine etc and the location couldn’t be any better or closer to the beach the pub next door can get a little noisy on weekends but that wasn’t a problem and what we expected being joined on next to it The only thing we said which wasn’t a problem or issue it that the garden could do with abit of a revamp as it could look beautiful weeding etc

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.
