Guests consistently praise the tranquil location, spacious grounds, and the bonus of a private swimming pool. The property is described as comfortable and well-equipped for group stays, with ample space for relaxation and activities. While some mention areas needing updating and a more thorough clean, most found the accommodation welcoming and enjoyable. The rural setting and dog-friendly features are standout positives, making it a popular choice for repeat visitors.
Several guests found the property clean and comfortable, but others noted cobwebs, a 'dirty' kitchen feel, and areas needing a deeper clean. Cleanliness appears generally acceptable but could be improved with more attention to detail.
The remote, peaceful location is highly praised, especially by those seeking privacy and a 'get away from it all' experience. The rural setting and secure grounds are ideal for dog owners and families.
Guests found the accommodation comfortable, with good beds and plenty of space for families and groups. Some mention the need for fans in hot weather and minor issues with room sizes, but overall comfort is rated positively.
The swimming pool, games room, and spacious kitchen are appreciated, but several reviews mention maintenance issues such as outdated equipment, minor repairs needed, and occasional problems with pool features and kitchen utensils.
There are no mentions of welcome gifts or extra thoughtful touches in the reviews, so a score cannot be provided for this category.

This must have been a beautiful home when new but it has long passed the time when it needs an upgrade. We had several issues. The key and access code were not available when we arrived but luckily the farmer allowed us through. Again, luckily, the cleaning lady was running late so we got the keys off her. Had she finished on time we would have had no means to access the property as the owners didn’t reply to our query about the keys ‘til gone 9pm.The main house and pool room suite were lovely but needed updating. The kitchen felt “dirty” as the cooking utensils, pots and pans were old and definitely not ‘non stick’.The jet stream on the pool was not working, we specifically chose this property because of the jet stream. When we informed the owners we were told an engineer would be sent out - you won’t be surprised to hear that one never appeared. The pool was not cleaned while we were there and on the fourth day I had to fish out several bugs/insects before we could use it. We did have a great time in the pool and certainly teenagers will love it. The area was very tranquil but the downside of that is a 2 mile single track where you pray nothing is coming the other way. On several occasions our prayers were not answered and reversing down a single track ‘road’ is no fun. I really wanted to give this property a good feedback as potentially it could be a great holiday getaway but too many things needed updating ( the games room especially).I think you will have a lovely time here if you understand its shortcomings but I don’t believe it was worth the price we paid.

We have been to Beer Farm several times, it was very good this time as everything worked well, and it was very clean.

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
