    “This is a very fine property in a lovely rural farm location.”

    It is well suited for those who are looking for a quiet relaxing holiday. The property is well cared for but as with all holiday lets late in the season signs of wear are bound to appear and not necessarily noticed by the owner therefore feedback is important. The downstairs bathroom is in need of some work, in particular the cracked floor with loose tiles and a split wooden toilet seat.

    It is well suited for those who are looking for a quiet relaxing holiday. The property is well cared for but as with all holiday lets late in the season signs of wear are bound to appear and not necessarily noticed by the owner therefore feedback is important. The downstairs bathroom is in need of some work, in particular the cracked floor with loose tiles and a split wooden toilet seat. The heating cab a bit tricky but if user instructions are left for occupants then that can encourage fidelitus, and this can make matters worse. Therefore ‘auto’ mode needs to be reliable. All in all, we had a great stay.

They are surrounded by around 200 acres of fields and bluebell woods which you are welcome to wander and enjoy deer and badger watching, the stream, lake (fishing), duck pond (carp fishing) and the gorgeous views.

Caterers can be recommended.

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.
