  We had a lovely stay in Smugglers Cottage, thank you .

  The cottage was well equipped and in a great position, in spite of restrictive parking to unload. Loading back up was overcome by parking opposite the cottage after 6 pm and leaving by 9 am. There were just a few points that we found in the cottage, which did not spoil our stay, but we felt should be pointed out. A second key would have been very useful, as we could not leave the cottage unless we were together or we had to liase as to the time we got back, or one of us had to stay in! The wardrobe in the main bedroom needs a lower step, as I found it very difficult to get into! The right hand window in the bathroom we could not open and needs to be fixed. As the weather was warm and sometimes humid, the extra opening would have cleared the steam quicker and prevent dampness and ruining the beautiful decorated bathroom. The garden was amazing, but due to the three tiers and no handrails from the second tier upwards, it was difficult to use the garden for our friends who came for lunch. We were ok and used the garden often, but handrails would be alot safer. Again thank you for a wonderful stay in the cottage and we highly recommend it.

  Fabulous cottage , a very short walk to the beach, shops, bars and restaurants of Beer.

  The cottage had everything you could possibly need and the garden was amazing. Yes it's a bit of a steep climb to the top of the layered garden but my, it was so worth it with the sea view and views of the village. The beds were very comfortable with loads of storage space in both bedrooms, wi-fi excellent, kitchen fully equipped and the cottage was spotless on arrival. You just need to be aware that the 3 short stay spaces in the road are often occupied so be careful when unloading / loading up outside the cottage as there is not much room for vehicles to pass as you do so. However given we were there on the hottest weekend probably this Summer and at the end of the school holidays, this was only to be expected in reality. At peak times, you might also want to book the restaurants in advance and 2 were closed on Sundays which seemed a bit odd. Highly recommend Smugglers Cottage, we loved it !

  The cottage was very cosy and quiet, and on the whole we had a really lovely stay.

  It’s personal preference but we found the mattress in the main bedroom to be too hard for us and would recommend a mattress topper at least. Taller guests need to be aware of the beam the front room! The bath plug worked if it was put in upside down. Being out of season there were a few local attractions and facilities that were closed but I think this was reflected in the price and we had everything we needed. The Anchor pub did good food and welcomed us and our dog. The Barrel of Beer was friendly and great for a drink. Lovely fresh fish from the hut on the beach and a well stocked convenience store - all a short walk away. Best of all were the walks with spectacular views, a beautiful place to stay as a couple.

  Just got back from a weeks holiday in Beer .

  We stayed at apartment 1. Durham house . We walked into a warm and welcoming place. Spotlessly clean and everything you need for a relaxing and comfortable stay . Right in the heart of the village. The village shop and bus stop across the road . Other facilities, bars, restaurant's chip shop , and shops in a short walking distance. The beach is also nearby, it’s a pebble beach, lots of things to keep you busy. We took the coastal path to Seaton which is quite a hike but if mobile it’s a good walk. We also took the bus to Sidmouth and drove to Lime Regis . . We took our dog with us and everyone in Beer was dog friendly. Definitely worth a visit and stay in the comfort of your own apartment.

  Thank you for a fantastic stay in Smugglers Cottage.

  We stayed the first week in December, and finding it decorated for Christmas was a lovely surprise and a great start to our holiday. The welcome package was the best one we have ever had, thank you. The cottage was clean, well equipped, comfortable and always warm. The only negative thing was the cupboard/wardrobe in the double bedroom, smelt damp. It didn't matter to us, as there were only two of us, so we used the wardrobe in the twin room. We would definitely stay again, it's a lovely cottage and Beer is a great place to stay, everyone in the village was very friendly and the local shop was very well stocked with a lot of local produce, we didn't have to go to a supermarket all week.
