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.

The property is situated in a perfect location, within easy walking distance of the sea front and local shops. We felt at home as soon as we walked through the door. The property was warm, clean and welcoming. We must also say a huge thank you for the welcome goodies! The beds were comfortable, and it was great to have 2 bathrooms. The kitchen-diner... well... I have never stayed at such a well-equipped holiday rental! When we book to return, we may take yeast, so that we can make the most of the bread maker!! Everything was in full working order. Thank you for a fabulous holiday!

We particularly liked the period furniture which was in keeping with the property and facilities were good. My only observation, was 2 small areas of damp in 2 of the bedrooms. We would also recommend the provision of a longer shower mat to avoid any accidents, as the shower base was rather slippy. However, none of these observations would prevent us from staying here again.

Cottage is perfect for the four of us. The driveway is still a challenge as two low cars. The shower dripped constantly. However we love the cottage and have booked for next year. Good location and a little gem.
