"Smugglers cottage was a home from home ."
The cottage was lovely and warm on arrival . The welcome pack was lovely and a nice touch . The beds were comfy an plenty of storage in bedrooms for clothes . We loved the log burner which was one of the reasons we picked the cottage . The village itself was quaint and the Anchor pub was friendly and the food delicious. Thank you for sharing your property.

"A real gem of a cottage."
The garden was a real treat which you don’t see in the listing pics. That said It’s is steep with easy access steps but worth it for the views and sun trap at the top. We loved it. The dog loved it. We had 2 couples and a small dog within our party and would definitely visit again. Even the neighbours were lovely and friendly. lovely village, lovely people and lovely cottage.
Thank you for such wonderful comments. We’re so pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Smuggler’s Cottage. Beer is such a lovely place and it’s really heartwarming to receive such positive feedback.
Thank you for taking the time and trouble to share your holiday experience.

"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 !
This is such wonderful feedback and we are so grateful to you for taking the time to write.

"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.
Thank you for your lovely comments and we're glad that you had a lovely holiday. We have asked our maintenance team to look at the bathroom window.
We only provide one set of keys for properties that have a keysafe onsite, as we would advise guests to use this during their stay. Alternatively we can provide an additional set of keys upon request.

In addition to the above, we would like to express our appreciation for your really positive and constructive feedback. When we are there next week, we will follow up on your comments. As a period property with a terraced garden there are certain quirks and characteristics of Smugglers Cottage that are part of its charm. Notwithstanding these we will look to do what we can.

"Just returned from a fabulous few days in Beer."
Smugglers cottage was lovely, perfect for what we wanted. It is walkable into Beer, near all the restaurants, cafes & beach. There was everything we needed in the cottage & a welcome pack on arrival full of little goodies which was a lovely touch. The place was clean & tidy & well looked after. The view from the top patio was beautiful, we have fabulous weather so we’re able to really appreciate it. Just wished we could have stayed longer. Would definitely come back
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay so much. Beer is a very special place and we are delighted that you had such a good holiday at Smuggler's Cottage.

"Have stayed here twice and love this cottage."
Cosy, love the fire, kitchen well equipped, bedrooms comfortable, bathroom all good and nice outside space.
Only (very) minor improvements would be to have two door keys and a cafetière please as you do supply coffee for one in the lovely welcome pack.
Thank you for your feedback. We are very pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Smuggler's Cottage.
There is a cafetiere located in the cupboard above the sink. It is stainless steel and not glass so it may have been mistaken for another utensil.
It is the letting agent's policy to only supply one key via the keysafe. A spare set can be provided on request.
Thank you once again.

Lovely cosy cottage very comfortable had a relaxing stay in Beer close to high street and plenty of places to eat close by We were lucky with weather so could make use of sitting at the top of the terraced garden where you can see the sea view Would only say that the garden has alot of steep steps up and may not suit everyone but we enjoyed the outside space we would definitely recommend the cottage for a stay in Beer

"We had a most enjoyable stay at Smugglers Cottage with our greyhound helped, no doubt, by wonderful weather."
We found the cottage comfortable and well equipped and we liked the stepped garden with tables and chairs (and a summer house) on two levels. However, our greyhound wasn't quite so enamoured with the garden - hard surfaces and many steps - so he usually sulked in the cottage when we were enjoying a pre-dinner drink. Whilst I was a bit worried about the parking arrangements, it proved simple and it was only a 5 minute walk to the car park.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback. We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay in Smuggler's Cottage. Hopefully, your greyhound enjoyed long walks on the many dog-friendly beaches/open countryside and for him this made up for the garden.
