Guests consistently report that The Barn is spotlessly clean upon arrival, with specific mentions of shining glassware, cutlery, and bathrooms. The cleanliness contributes significantly to the comfort and enjoyment of their stay.
The property's location is highly commended for its tranquillity, picturesque views, and proximity to local attractions. Guests are delighted by the rural setting and easy access to beaches and coastal paths, rating the location as exceptional.
While the spaciousness and en-suite bedrooms are appreciated, some guests find the beds and sofas to be less comfortable than desired, with suggestions for larger beds and firmer mattresses. The presence of creaky floorboards is also noted.
The Barn is praised for its extensive facilities, including a well-stocked kitchen, hot tub, and games. However, some guests experienced issues with the hot tub and suggested improvements to the barbecue setup. The lack of enclosed garden space is also mentioned.
While some guests mention welcome goodies and the joy of collecting eggs from chickens, there is insufficient information to assess the consistency of thoughtful gestures such as gifts. Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that such amenities will be provided during every stay.

Outside is a big suntrap terrace with picnic benches and outdoor electric grill, a raised deck with 8-person hot tub, a children's play area (best suited for under 5's) and an enclosed paddock for games.

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

That was everyone's reaction when we arrived. It was amazing and everything you could possibly need for a wonderful holiday. Age range of family was 1 year old to 65 year old and we all loved it. Even a few baby toys in lounge cupboard. Very well equipped kitchen and plenty of space for everyone to be comfy....Hot tub was a definite hit and was greatly enjoyed. Communication with the owner was brilliant. We hope to return one day and I can reccomend this beautiful property fully.
