Amazing, so cosy/clean and everything we expected and more. The pool was a big bonus and kept the kids entertained, Had the best week as a family and found lots to do, walks and 2 days at the beach (Minehead and Sidmouth) Would highly recommend and we would definitely stay at Beer farm again. Just in need of a little TLC / Minor repairs Location I would say very rural but that is what we expected....Loved our Stay

Thank you Beer Farm for an Amazing Holiday. I read a lot of previous reviews, and Is it remote - Yes, Is it away from People - Yes, Is it showing signs of wear - Yes but this adds the the character of the property. If your after quiet, relaxation, wildlife and an amazing place to stay Beer Farm is for you. I only wish I could afford to live in a place like this. Thank you again 😎

We had a week at Beer Farm. The property and grounds suited us down to the ground l. We were five adults with three dogs. There was an adjacent field to exercise the dogs which was ideal. The property was sheltered and secluded and fitted the description of a "get away from it all" to a tee. The swimming pool was clean and totally functional a great bonus. The Wifi was fine as we're the furnishings beds etc.. The kitchen dinner was a great family space but the TV lounge a bit on the small side. No holiday house is perfect and we found the kitchen a bit restricted from the equipment viewpoint but we managed just fine.I would say the cottage was excellent value for money and if you love this part of the world as we do you will love it.
