“The view from the cottage is stunning.”

Didn't get to meet the owners which was a shame. The twin beds were so uncomfortable my children slept on the sofa and the fridge made so much noise we couldn't hear the TV.

The views are amazing. It is off the beaten track and you have to negotiate the typical Devonshire narrow roads. Facilities in the cottage were as you would expect. The host was a vey nice lady and was approachable, close by but not intrusive.

“Joanne and Mark the owners are lovely and welcoming people who’s attention to detail is outstanding.”

Hiscox Cottage has amazing views and is finished to the highest standard. It felt like a home from home and we will definitely be returning.

Unfortunately there were a few issues; there was a tear in the sheet under one of the pillows, the downstairs bathroom was very musty and smelt damp and the shower didn’t appear clean. I wouldn’t recommend Hiscox and wouldn’t return even though the view was fantastic.

Joanne & Mark were perfect hosts and Jamie was incredible in organising our activities! The cottage was clean and well equipped. The views were incredible and we had a different walk with our dogs every day in the beautiful 180 acres of Higher Wadden Farm. Surrounded by beautiful creatures and scenery made every day perfect! Lovely and central for visiting the lots of beautiful places Devon has to offer! We intend to return and highly recommend this amazing place! Thanks to Joanne, Mark and Jamie for making it perfect!

This was our first time renting a cottage so we were unsure what to expect. If Hiscox is the standard that cottages look to give then the bar has been set very high, very very high. Without doubt we will return and would be very slow in looking anywhere else than here. It is also fair to say that Sykes themselves provide exceptional customer service and we we’re very impressed from the very beginning of our search. Nothing was to much trouble and they even rang the owner while we waited to check things for us. Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant. We did have fantastic weather as well so everything worked in our favour!!!!!!

Only a short drive from the coast and supermarkets including, Tesco, Waitrose, Sainsbury locally. The best of both styles of holiday, activities or stepping back into total relaxation.Lots of good food inns to choose from and the local village has all the basic facilities including a dog friendly pub serving good basic food at reasonable cost.

About the location

SOUTHLEIGH

Beer is a small picturesque fishing village on the south Devon coast between Seaton and Branscombe. 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.
