Entire place

Ideal for families, quiet spot, 4 min walk to beach, village, pubs, restaurants.

Beachcomber Cottage, built around 1900, nestles on a private gated terrace in a quiet, sunny spot with great views of the village. It's just 4 minutes stroll to the beach and 2 minutes from the main street with its good range of local shops, pubs and eateries. It is near to the South West Coastal Footpath and lies on the World Heritage Jurrasic Coastline. The beach is delightful with a range of cafes and deckchairs, rockpools, beach huts and fishing trips. It has fast Wi Fi to keep you connected. Suitable for friends and families getting together.

The cottage sleeps 6, is well equipped, centrally heated and has a lovely sunny garden. It is well located to explore the myriad of local attractions. It has an entrance porch - great for storing beach equipment. Upstairs are three bedrooms and a family bathroom. Downstairs is a kitchen/dining area with convection oven great for baking bread, lavatory and spacious refurbished living area with comfy sofas, large SMART TV and panoramic village views. The private gated garden has patio with table, chairs and catches the sun right into the evening, just 10 yards along the terrace. A perfect spot to sip a glass of wine as the sun sets.

We had a fab time.
The cottage was perfect, and only a couple of minutes stroll to all village amenities. Beer is small but beautiful.

PROPERTY AND GARDEN IN A VERY DISAPPOINTING STATE.
Unfortunately there were several elements we were unhappy with. The carpet in living room was threadbare and skirting boards throughout the cottage were dirty. We found cobwebs on the ceilings on arrival, which we had to remove with a hoover. Bathroom shower screen and basin had black mould. Bedroom linen was clean. The Kitchen floor was dirty but appliances were ok. We enjoyed the surrounding area and atmosphere in Beer.

Very disappointing
Unfortunately property was not as advertised The condition it is in is awful We are told it is being addressed but it should of been sorted months ago We were also told a professional cleaning company had been in before we arrived, this definitely wasn’t the case. As our stay was over the new year we paid a lot for this run down, tired, dusty property

Relaxation, relaxation, relaxation.
We had a wonderful, relaxing week in the beautiful village of Beer. It was everything that we hoped it would be. The cottage was clean, cosy and surprisingly spacious, The location was superb with the beach just minutes away and lots of lovely dog walks on the doorstep, missing it already.

Really cosy, comfy cottage in a great location. Beer is beautiful
The cottage is a lovely cosy base for exploring the local area. We stayed 3 nights & it was very comfortable & in a great location up the hill with everything you need for staying in Beer. Didn’t cook, can recommend fish & chips & pizza. If you don’t mind a few steps, walk to Seaton, the views are amazing & Sidmouth worth a visit. A must do is a cuppa in the beach cafe at sunset

Lovely cottage in a great location
We have had a wonderful week staying at Beachcomber Cottage . The cottage is in a great location, so handy for the shops , restaurants and beach . The garden is a bonus and a real sun trap as is the bench outside the front door in the evening . The garden is enclosed so if you have a dog , it is safe . It is an excellent location for accessing the beautiful coastal path and we managed to walk different parts of it along the coast each day . The cottage is clean , spacious and well equipped. It is cosy and comfortable . The welcome tray on arrival is a lovely touch . We would love to return!

cosy cottage in secluded location near beach
We had a fantastic week in beachcomber cottage. Perfect location on elevated private path set above main street but within just a few minutes walk of beach and its cafes. The cottage is cosy yet spacious, very nicely decorated and well equipped. We loved having our own private garden and an alternative seat just outside the door to sit in evening with glass of wine looking across at church and village below. 2nd loo downstairs nice to have too! would highly recommend especially if you want a quieter place that is still near shops, cafes and pubs (try osbornes wine bar - very friendly staff) thanks for fabulous week!

Beachcomber Cottage, Beer
Beachcomber cottage was a great place to stay in Beer. It is well situated in the heart of Beer with a short walk to the main street with its pubs, shops and restaurants and is not far from the beachfront. It has loads of character, great views over the village and is also well equipped and was exceptionally clean upon arrival. It does not have parking (as do many places in Beer) but this is not a problem - it is easy to unload the car close by and the main car park in Beer is only a short walk away. The milk in the fridge on arrival and some tea bags was a nice touch. Beer itself is a fabulous fishing village with some good pubs, restaurants and cafes/tea rooms. Breakfast on the beach at Ducky's is a must!
