  • "The Boat Shed is a beautifully-presented cottage and is exceptionally clean."

    There is access to a private patio and a large garden. It is set in lovely countryside within a 10-minute walk of the pretty village of Beer. The hosts are always extremely helpful; this is definitely worth a stay.

  • "What a beautiful place to stay."

    We’ve stayed at The Garlands Beer twice now. The cottage is immaculately clean, cosy yet modern and all the facilities that are needed are there. Everything is done to a high standard. We were greeted by the hosts who were extremely friendly & helpful. The view from their garden (which is beautifully kept ) are breathtaking. Just a short walk into the picturesque town of Beer. We will definitely return there’s so much to visit or as we did on occasion just relax in the cottage & beautiful grounds.

  • "The house was generally very warm and comfortable, and it was very clean when we arrived."

    We enjoyed the views from the lounge and master bedroom, despite the somewhat grey and damp weather! The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans etc, and the welcome cream tea was lovely! The king size bed was extremely comfortable but the two single beds were quite soft so our parents found their backs aching a bit by the end of the week. It would be helpful to include in the property description that the lounge is upstairs - this is not currently in the listing (I re-checked) and we may have thought twice about booking had we known, as we travelled with elderly parents who struggle with stairs. The sofa was quite low and soft which again, made it difficult for the older members of our party. There were plenty of items in the property to provide entertainment (both indoor and outdoor) which is throughtful, plus a folder full of detailed local information. The TV and washing machine were quite old - they did work but we are used more modern (and have experienced better in other holiday cottages) but overall, this house provided what we needed for an early break away.

    Dear Guest Thank you for taking the time to feedback. We do appreciate it and are always looking to improve. We will amend our information to state the lounge is upstairs and consider your other comments too! Much appreciated Lesley and Justin Property Owner

    The Boat Shed is distinctive and to a high standard- great! Owners couldn't have been more helpful- one of the radiators was repaired within the day- thank you! Thank you too for the welcome wine and chocs- much appreciated.

    Ms PetrucciNov 2023

  • "Firstly the location was perfect for us, but unfortunately the property was extremely damp."

    Also not very clean. Only some of the radiators worked correctly as they appear to need bleeding. We had to leave earlier than expected as our son was extremely I'll which turned out he has pneumonia.

    Dear guest , We are sorry you did not enjoy your stay with us. it was a very wet week and this may have contributed to the feeling of the cottage being damp. We have had a very busy season and no one has complained about dampness or level of cleanliness in the cottages. Indeed, the level of cleanliness has been praised. You are correct, that the radiator in the downstairs bedroom was not working properly. We were alerted to this whilst away, a new valve was fitted the very same day and is now working perfectly. We do hope your son is feeling better and am sorry that you had to leave early to visit him. Best wishes Lesley and Justin Property Owner

The Garlands At Beer

The Garlands at Beer consists of three well-presented self-catered holiday homes resting in the charming fishing village of Beer, Devon. This dog-friendly collection offers exceptional sea views, fully-equipped kitchens, inviting living and dining areas, TVs with Freeview and DVD players, private terraces with furniture and fantastic views, and off-road parking, making it a lovely base for couples, friends and families. The cottages are ideally located just moments away from the beautiful beach and the quaint main street, where you will find a selection of individual shops, galleries, takeaways, and welcoming eateries, including The Smugglers Kitchen and Anchor Inn. Beer’s family-friendly shingle beach, with its iconic limestone cliffs, is a perfect spot for swimming, watersports, or joining one of the many pleasure fishing boat trips which launch from the shore. Be sure to check out the fascinating Beer Quarry Caves, where you can join daily tours through this ancient quarry which dates back to Roman times. Next stop is Sidmouth, home to its own gorgeous beach, along with the beautiful National Trust Sidmouth Countryside, the Nortman Locker Observatory, and the Donkey Sanctuary which is open seven days a week a home to hundreds of sweet donkeys. For the foodies of your group, why not visit River Cottage, home of the TV chef Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall, and partake in one of the popular dining events or food courses. Being so close to the sea, fish features prominently on the many menus – try Hix’s Oyster and Fish House in Lyme Regis for a special occasion or a locally caught crab sandwich in one of the beach front cafes. At Lyme Regis you will find the further attractions of Lyme Regis Fossil Beach, Lyme Regis Marine Aquarium, the Harbour Inn, Marine Theatre, and the Lyme Regis Museum.

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