“We visited the property for a week in October and were pleasantly surprised.”

After reading some of the previous reviews, we were slightly sceptical. However, we can certainly recommend this property. It’s not unclean like previously commented, in fact we felt it was quite the opposite. There were a few cobwebs around but it’s a cottage need we say more.

After reading some of the previous reviews, we were slightly sceptical. However, we can certainly recommend this property. It’s not unclean like previously commented, in fact we felt it was quite the opposite. There were a few cobwebs around but it’s a cottage need we say more. Yes the TV doesn’t work in the master bedroom but this is a minor fault nothing which should detract away from you deciding to visit. The property has everything you need and we couldn’t find any faults. The parking space is directly outside but could be tight if you have a larger car. The location is set up a hill in a quite area. The village of Beer is very quaint and offers great picturesque walks to Branscombe and Seaton. The take away fish and chip shop is a must. Overall this is a property we would return to if visiting the area again and is worthy of 4 ticks.

“Firstly trying to get into the key safe was extremely difficult, so much so the next door neighbour came to give a hand and said everybody had difficulty with it.”

If the cottage had been Deep cleaned, I would not like to see it with a usual clean. It was definitely not a 4 tick cottage as published in your information. It was advertised as sleeping 6 people but there was only 1 double, 1 twin and 1 single bedroom equalling 5 altogether. There weren't any locks on either bathroom. The plug in the shower room sink did not work. To get washed or shaved in the bathroom you had to bend down sideways or suffer hitting your head on the cabinet, which had a mirror door missing. Nearly every light fitting had bulbs missing. We have been in 35 holiday cottages over the last 20 years and I would place this one in the bottom 5. We are not picky but like to have value for money, we did not get this. I know the circumstances are difficult, but you would think a bit more effort in cleaning would be appropriate.

“Lovely accommodation large house with lots of nice features.”

Well equipped and lovely garden area to sit in. Some nice touches from the owner. The village of Beer is beautiful and good location to visit other interesting places. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

“Excellent location, walking distance to the beach.”

Great value for money and beautifully decorated. A bottle of wine and some beautiful sunflowers were left. We did have to clean the outside area as it was covered in cobwebs and old figs which were attracting a lot of wasps.

“A beautiful seaside cottage”

We loved our stay at The Margarets. The cottage is fantastic - super comfy beds, very clean & excellently equipped. Well positioned in Beer & a parking space! We spent an extremely happy holiday here.

“Thoroughly gorgeous cottage by the sea”

From the moment we arrived we were very impressed with the standard of 'The Margarets'. The décor and thoughtfulness of the property is fantastic. The kitchen is brilliantly well equipped with everything we could think of! The beds are comfy and the shower is great too. It has the most attention to detail of any rental we have ever stayed in. Beer is just lovely. We came for Regatta week and there was lots to do! We would recommend the walks to Seaton and Branscombe (perhaps get the bus home though!), Lyme Regis (NOT Charmouth - awful beach!) Sidmouth. We mainly spent days on the beach, or pebble painting on a rainy day. Our dog enjoyed the cottage too! You won't regret booking 'The Margarets'!

About the location

BEER

Seaton 1.5 miles; Lyme Regis 9 miles; Sidmouth 9.5 miles; Exeter 25 miles.

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. Beer is situated on the stretch of Devon coastline, known as the Jurassic Coast, a designated World Heritage Site, and the village offers sloping streets lined with picturesque stone houses and cottages built on many different levels of the steep valley sides. There are a good range of shops, friendly cafes, restaurants and pubs in Beer, plus just outside the village is the popular Pecorama Gardens, which are perched on the hill overlooking Lyme Bay. Pecorama boasts the Beer Heights Light Railway and indoor model railway exhibition, along with a childrens' play area. Beer is a unique Devon fishing village and a great place to stay.

Note: This property is best for a maximum of 5 adults.
