Guest Information Covid 19 Beachcomber Cottage
An idyllic and safe location, just 4 minutes stroll from the beach.
Beer captured our hearts and imaginations over 30 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 sun trap 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 home made treats. The cliffs form part of the South Devon coastal footpath and this area of the Jurassic coast is a World Heritage Site due to the important fossils found here.
Beer is famous for its 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 footpaths or a Devon cream tea! Visit Pecorama, 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 to year after year.

The garden is private and has wonderful views over the village to the hills and gets the sun from mid-morning till it sets in the evening, making it the perfect venue to sip a drink after a day on the beach.

View from cottage
The cottage is one of ten served by a private pedestrian path which passes between the cottage and the garden and is gated at each end making it particularly safe for children and pets.The terrace lies paralell with and above the main street. Access at one end is by steep incline for about 50 paces so is unsuitable for those with walking difficulties.Access from the other end offers a gentler approach.
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 can be purchased online from east devon council prior to arrival, or in the car park when you arrive. It is 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. We want you to enjoy your time with usl, knowing you have somewhere special to return to at the end of each day, and making a truly memorable holiday.
