  • "The property was very comfortable and spacious."

    It had everything we needed but I found it could have done with a dressing table in the bedroom as the kitchen table had to be used for make up issues. It was a great position in the village as it was a short walk down to the sea and the pubs. It will be recommended to friends.

    Hello. Thank you for your feedback. We can look into getting a dressing table, as long as it fits into the bedroom. There is quite a lot of furniture in there already. Maybe a mirror above the chest of drawers? Looking forward to welcoming you back. Kind regards Catherine Property Owner

    We are very sorry to hear that you experienced this water leak during your stay, and please accept our sincere apologies. As soon as I read your comment, I contacted Lyme Bay Holidays, who assured me that the issue would be addressed promptly. I’m pleased to say that no further problems have since been reported. Thank you for bringing this to my attention and giving me the opportunity to respond. We do hope to welcome you back to Beer in the future. Yours sincerely, Catherine Property Owner

  • "Great location."

    Great apartment. We had a wonderful time. Would be more than happy to return. Just a side note on a couple of things really. Mattress is probably on its last legs and smoke alarm is very sensitive. An extractor fan may resolve the issue. However, it was a perfect for us and thank you for the very generous welcome treats. Highly recommend to any couple with a pooch.

    Hello, Thankyou for your feed back. We are pleased that you enjoyed the stay in the flat. We will check the mattress issue ,and the smoke détecter too. Sorry for any inconvenience. We welcome you back anytime. Kind regards Catherine Property Owner

    Photo’s don’t do the apartment justice. Fab location, right in the centre of Beer, stunning views and friendly local pubs and eateries, with lovely walks. Beach is pebbles but still lovely sat on the beach cafe looking out to sea with all the fishing boats (fresh seafood sold at beachside) is an added touch.

    hello, Please accept my apologies for this very late reply. I am very happy that you enjoyed your holiday in Beer. a very positive feed back. You are welcome back anytime. Best wishes Catherine Property Owner

    It was very clean and had everything we needed for our short stay. We really liked Beer it is such a lovely place and the apartment was right in walking distance to everything.

  • "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.

    Hello Mrs Bloomer, We would like to thankyou very much for your positive feedback. We are glad that you found the flat to your liking, and that you found that the flat is well placed for local amenities. You will be welcomed back for sure. It sounds like you had a lovely holiday. Have a good evening. kind regards Catherine Property Owner

  • "A lovely spacious apartment in an excellent location at the top of Fore Street in Beer."

    We really felt part of the village. What a great space for two people! We loved the large kitchen diner and the way the flat flowed through the bedroom to the bathroom at the back. We had everything we needed for our three night stay. The parking permit was a very welcome benefit which was kindly included in our rental. The outdoor space was a plus and we sat in the sun a couple of times. The only thing we didn’t appreciate were the very dated heart ornaments everywhere and the ‘love, laugh, live’ signs - even painted on the wall!

    Hi Sally, We are very pleased that your enjoyed your stay. Welcome back anytime. We are sorry that you did not appreciate some of the deco. Everybodies taste is different. We hope that you will come back despite the hearts and captions on the wall. Best wishes Catherine Property Owner

The property

Located in the heart of the picturesque fishing village of Beer in East Devon, is the wonderful one-bedroom apartment at Durham House.

Furnished and equipped to a high standard, this ground-floor accommodation is ideal for a couple wishing to enjoy all that this seaside village has to offer.

Beer is situated on the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site and its picturesque cliffs, including Beer Head, form part of the South West Coast Path, making this a popular choice for walkers or visitors at any time of the year.

A property built using the local Beer stone, Durham House offers spacious accommodation with a wealth of characterful features typical of the late Victorian era, including a beautiful feature fireplace.

The open-plan living space is welcoming and homely with the large bay window flooding the room with light, while the kitchen and dining areas have doors which open onto a rear courtyard, providing the ideal spot to unwind with a book and enjoy a cold glass of bubbly.

A welcome pack for your stay ensures a great start to your holiday and includes milk, tea and a selection of locally sourced produce and treats so you’ll feel at home from the moment you arrive.

After a long day, find the charming, king-size bedroom designed for tranquillity and catching up on some well-earned rest; steps lead to an elegantly-presented, en-suite bathroom where you can indulge a long soak and complete your evening routine before sloping off into a deep sleep.

Beer is nestled on the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline, famous for its quarried stone that has been used in many historic buildings such as Exeter and St Paul's Cathedrals.

The breathtaking beach is just a short stroll away and is a popular spot for swimming, paddle boarding and kayaking, where you can try your hand at something new if you’re feeling up to the challenge!

Why not join one of the local mackerel fishing trips which run regularly or simply watch the local fishermen with their traditional fishing boats bringing their catches ashore?

When it comes to food, there is no shortage of options for eating out with Beer having a fantastic choice of restaurants and pubs offering local food and of course, fresh seafood; be sure to also sample a pint of Beer at the aptly-named Barrel of Beer.

The nearby seaside town of Seaton is a great place to visit, offering The Wetlands Centre, made up of three nature reserves with nearly 4km of level trails and broadwalk through beautiful marshland and reed beds alongside the River Axe estuary.

Lyme Regis, renowned for fossil hunting and the iconic Cobb harbour, is another favourite and well within reach for a memorable day out.

Apartment 1, Durham House is an excellent choice with so much to see and do at anytime of the year.

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 children's play area. Beer is a unique Devon fishing village and a great place to stay.
