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 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

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
