Beachcomber Cottage, Seaton

Holiday cottage/Self catering

 Beer captured our hearts and imaginations over 25 years ago and we have been regular visitors ever since. This picture postcard fishing village with a gurgling stream dancing along the main street to the beach, is snuggled in the rolling hills in East Devon's beautiful coastal scenery and drips nostalgia.

The horseshoe beach is the heart of the village, a natural suntrap surrounded by glistening white cliffs. It has clean waters, rock pools to explore at low tide, beach huts to hire, and beach cafes serving hearty breakfasts and homemade treats. The cliffs form part of the South Devon coastal footpath and this area of the coast is a World Heritage Site due to the important fossils found here.

Beer is famous for it's lace, stone and smuggling and is an ideal resort for families, couples and friends getting together. Enjoy the beach cafes, a fishing trip, a stroll along the coastal footpath or a devon cream tea! Visit Pecorama or the Beer Quarry Caves or the regency towns of Lyme Regis or Sidmouth.  The City of Exeter just a 40 minute drive.

Beer is the sort of place that once discovered people fall in love with and return year after year.

Beer sits within the East Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty , and lies on The Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.

Beachcomber Cottage, built around 1900, nestles in a quiet, sunny spot with great views of the village. It's just 4 minutes stroll to the beach and 1 minute from the main street with its good range of local shops, pubs and eateries. The cottage offers superb accommodation for 6, is exceptionally well equipped, centrally heated and has a lovely sunny garden with BBQ. It is very well located to explore the myriad of local attractions.

You enter through a small hall with coat hooks and space for shoes. The sitting room has lovely village views; and there are large squashy sofas to sink into around the fireplace with gas fire. The 32inch LCD widescreen TV and DVD/CD player, games, books and DVD’s to suit all ages help to make you to feel at home.

The dining kitchen has an automatic washing machine, hob and oven, microwave, dishwasher, ironing facilities and a fridge. The pine table and chairs seat 6 and a high chair is provided.

There’s a separate cloakroom next to the kitchen with WC and hand basin, mirror and shaver point.

Upstairs the bright and airy bathroom has a bath with shower over, mirror with shaver point, WC and hand basin.

The three pretty bedrooms are carpeted and well furnished, two are double and one is twin.  A hairdryer and small TV are provided in the twin room.

The garden is private and has wonderful views over the village to the hills and gets the best from the sun right through the day from mid morning till it sets in the evening making it the perfect venue for a BBQ  and glass of wine after a day on the beach. The garden is hedged, fenced and gated so is secure for dogs.  It has a washing line, patio area with garden furniture, and a lawn with planted borders. It lies just 2 doors down from the cottage, separated by the shared footpath.

The cottage is one of ten served by a private pedestrian pathway which is gated at each end making it particularly safe for children and pets. The cottage is child friendly with travel cot and high chair and a range of books, games and DVD’s for little ones.

Park your car at the end of the terrace to unload then take it to the village car park just 5 mins walk away (park at the back and you can see it from the cottage).  A weekly parking ticket is a reasonable cost and allows you to park in other council car parks in East Devon during your stay ( some restrictions apply )

The cottage is not just for summer, it’s warm and cosy out of peak season and is ideal for spring, autumn and winter breaks too.
