“We had a fantastic stay at 5 Belmont Terrace , what a charming house that is so well equipped and so comfortable.”

It is perfectly situated for the beach and sightseeing. We will definitely be back and would definitely recommend. Our dog Ernie loved it too.

Lorna November 2024

“We absolutely loved our stay, the cottage was exactly as described and the photos were a true reflection.”

It was characterful, homely, spacious, comfortable and perfectly furnished, not too personal or too stark, spot on. The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped and all the books and toys were impressive too. Location brilliant, Beer, beautiful. Certainly lots to love, I would highly recommend this property. Only real negative for us, all of the beds seem to have very soft mattresses, not good for bad backs.

- Lorna, November 2024

Thank you for your review and so many positive comments. I think your feedback on the mattresses is probably jolly useful for guests who also favour firmer mattresses, but we would confirm they are good quality mattresses that are subject to our annual stringent rating review and definitely not soggy! Property Owner
Nicki October 2024

“We loved our stay at Belmont Terrace!”

The property is situated in a perfect location, within easy walking distance of the sea front and local shops. We felt at home as soon as we walked through the door. The property was warm, clean and welcoming. We must also say a huge thank you for the welcome goodies! The beds were comfortable, and it was great to have 2 bathrooms. The kitchen-diner... well... I have never stayed at such a well-equipped holiday rental! When we book to return, we may take yeast, so that we can make the most of the bread maker!! Everything was in full working order. Thank you for a fabulous holiday!

- Nicki, October 2024

Thank you Nicki for your wonderful review. We do try very hard to make sure that the house is well equipped and comfortable for all our guests, but it is amazing to get such lovely comments. We do hope to see you again soon! Property Owner
Lynda August 2024

“As always we had a lovely stay, it's so much like a home from home, with everything you could possibly need, Thank-you very much, see you again next year.”

- Lynda, August 2024

Dear Lynda, We look forward to seeing you next year when we will have a small surprise for our best guests, which definitely includes you! Thank you and best wishes! Property Owner
Michael August 2024

“The cottage was lovely and comfortable.”

We particularly liked the period furniture which was in keeping with the property and facilities were good. My only observation, was 2 small areas of damp in 2 of the bedrooms. We would also recommend the provision of a longer shower mat to avoid any accidents, as the shower base was rather slippy. However, none of these observations would prevent us from staying here again.

- Michael, August 2024

Dear Michael, Yes, we have had some roof issues over the summer which were repaired last month and we are waiting for our decorator to go in and make it all good again. In any event, we have closed the house for January to March as we hope to have replacement wooden double glazed windows inserted into the existing frames and will be making sure everything is looking good ready for the new season. Thank you. Property Owner
Susy August 2024

“Lovely stay at the cottage as usual.”

Cottage is perfect for the four of us. The driveway is still a challenge as two low cars. The shower dripped constantly. However we love the cottage and have booked for next year. Good location and a little gem.

- Susy, August 2024

Dear Susannah, Thank you for your feedback; we hadn’t realised the shower dripped, but have had a plumber visit and have had it replaced. Thank you for booking again and we look forward to your return visit! Property Owner
Wanda July 2024

“What a beautiful place to stay.”

The house is lovely, light and spacious. The owners have taken great care in providing supplies for that initial cuppa from a long journey. Very short walk to the village with copious amounts of shops, restaurants and pubs to visit. Places to visit are lovely to walk to (albeit hard along the pebble beach to Seaton) with beautiful coastal views. Thank you.

- Wanda, July 2024

Thank you for your kind feedback, this was our family holiday home for many years and we do try our best to achieve a 'home from home' feeling with a welcome pack of goodies from local suppliers. Property Owner
Paul July 2024

“Holiday property was excellent, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would recommend the cottage.”

Very spacious with all the equipment you would expect. Beer is a lovely place, the cottage was a few minutes walk to the beach pubs and restaurants. I would recommend the walk from Beer to Seaton and also the walk from Beer to Branscombe and the caves.

- Paul, July 2024

Dear Paul, Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts and we are delighted that you would recommend the cottage. This was our family holiday home for many years and so has the bonus of some added touches that reflect our love of reading and playing games, but also baking ... we realise that won't thrill everyone!! Kind regards. Property Owner
Karen April 2024

“What a thoughtful property owner, who has gone out of their way to make your stay so comfortable and homely.”

We have stayed in many cottages since Covid, and this has the same high cleaning standards as when we came out of Covid, unlike many others we have stayed in. It is so refreshing for an owner to equip you with cleaning materials to allow you to keep everything clean. We had a lovely and relaxing break and can’t wait to return.

- Karen, April 2024

Dear Karen, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave feedback. We have done our best to make the cottage feel like a 'home from home' but need to pay tribute to our housekeeper, Dawn, and her tremendous work in keeping the house spick and span. We do hope you will return. Many thanks. Property Owner
Christine November 2023

“Very clean and comfortable.”

Well appointed. Lovely goodies left for us in the kitchen. Close to village facilities. Couldn’t find a DVD player or any trays. Side gate didn’t keep my dog in. However, the house is beautiful, comfortable, and tastefully furnished. Thank you.

- Christine, November 2023

We're so pleased to hear that you enjoyed a wonderful holiday. The property is not marketed with a DVD player. Thank you for letting us know about the gate and missing trays. The Lyme Bay Team Property Owner
Robert November 2023

“Our short break was all about location as we love the village of Beer.”

The property did not disappoint being at the top of the High St & a 5 min walk to the beach. Off street parking, good central heating & a modern kitchen were all appreciated after a 7 hour drive! Thank you

- Robert, November 2023
Carolyn October 2023

“Excellent cottage very comfy and in a very pretty village.”

The cottage is very well equipped especially the kitchen

- Carolyn, October 2023

Thank you for your feedback and your comments in the Visitor’s Book. We do try to meet all needs, but are keen cooks and so the kitchen is important! Property Owner
Cheryl October 2023

“Lovely comfortable house in a great location.”

Extremely well equipped. Appreciated welcome basket. Felt like owners wanted to ensure guests were warm, comfortable and had all that they needed.

- Cheryl, October 2023

We do try our best to make every stay special and really appreciate all our feedback. Thank you Property Owner
Alison August 2023

“Another good stay.”

Have rebooked for next year and glad the pricing is more realistic for summer 2024.

- Alison, August 2023

We are delighted that you had a good stay and have rebooked. Thank you! Property Owner
Lynda May 2023

“We love staying here and have stayed lots before.”

It feels like our home now, and we will book again soon. Thank-you very much. Lynda Morgan.

- Lynda, May 2023

We are delighted you love staying at Number 5 and will happily buy a cafetière to add to the kitchen for your next stay! Many thanks Property Owner
Stephen May 2023

“Absolutely fantastic stay and the house was a big part of that.”

There was loads of space, super well equipped kitchen very comfortable. We all came away saying how rested and happy we felt. We loved it.

- Stephen, May 2023

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay, thank you so much for your review! Property Owner
Julie April 2023

“This is the second time we have stayed at Belmont and we really love the property.”

However we are unlikely to rebook for next year after discovering the price increase of a further £200 , making a total increase of £500 (approximately) since we stayed at Easter 2022.

- Julie, April 2023
Elizabeth December 2022

“Thank you for a really lovely stay, it is a great property.”

Very well equipped and, very clean and tidy. We all enjoyed our stay. Thank you to the owner’s for a great stay. We hope to return

- Elizabeth, December 2022

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and hope you will return to stay at Number 5 again. We have to pay tribute to our housekeeper Dawn who works tirelessly to make the house clean and comfortable for all our guests! Property Owner
Richard December 2022

“Small problem on arrival.”

The highchair Stairgate in court requested. We are missing. However made a quick phone call and the problem solved within 45 minutes. Great service. Many thanks. Welcome pack. Very welcome property warm cosy and in a fantastic location. Had a great family week leading up to Christmas.

- Richard, December 2022

We are delighted that you enjoyed a great family week and just apologise again for the missing items, so glad that they were soon delivered to you. Please do not hesitate to contact Lyme Bay Holidays if ever you do have a problem as they are very responsive and never seem to be far away when help is needed! Property Owner
William October 2022

“We have been to Belmont many times.”

Love it. But the massive price rise for October, £300 will preclude us from returning. Such a shame. But as for Lyme Bay Holidays, brilliant company and happy to book other properties with. We are hopefully great tenants and leave properties pristine. Could you please pass our comments on to the owners. If a reduction occurs we would love to rebook. We are very sparing on the heating

- William, October 2022

We are delighted that you have enjoyed staying at Number 5 many times and regret that rising costs, particularly energy costs, have necessitated a review of our pricing. Property Owner
Anthony October 2022

“Our first time at both Belmont Terrace and the village of Beer.”

The property was well presented, clean and tidy. The welcome pack was indeed most welcome ! The addition of a DVD player would have been appreciated. WiFi worked fine throughout. As this visit took place during the first week of October, many of the shops and businesses in the village were 'closed for the season'. Village 'top shop' had all we needed for last minute items. Fish and Chip Shop was incredibly expensive in our view and only accepts cash. Burton Bradstock was a good sandy beach. Sidmouth always good value with some decent shops. All in all, a good Autumn holiday.

- Anthony, October 2022
Michelle September 2022

“Loved the property and location.”

Can highly recommend

- Michelle, September 2022

The accommodation and location were perfect.

We are delighted that you enjoyed your stay and we do hope you will make a return visit! Property Owner
Verity August 2022

“Beautiful cottage, spotlessly clean, lovely well equipped kitchen & the comfiest beds ever.”

Parking spaces were a bonus too. A bar b q for the outside patio area would be a lovely addition.

- Verity, August 2022

Thank you for your review, we used to have a bbq but it was little used and became a rather rusty item on the terrace sadly! Property Owner
Peter July 2022

“A very nice cottage in a great location with the bonus of two car parking and a nice welcome pack, which was handy after a long journey to get there.”

Overall we were very happy with the accommodation and were looking to book again for next year, until we saw the price increase which has put us off I’m afraid. As far as the property was concerned the only negative was the inability to open any windows in the front living room, which could get very hot without any ventilation.

- Peter, July 2022

Thank you for your feedback, we did not know the front windows had a problem and will look at that when the next handover happens to see what needs to be done to ensure they can be opened. Property Owner
Lorraine July 2022

Only issue was the large kerb to get onto the drive Great house, lovely welcome pack, clean, spacious, comfortable Great location for walking the coastal paths

- Lorraine, July 2022
Joanne July 2022

“Everything you could possibly want from a holiday cottage (apart from a pair of kitchen scissors!”

). Comfortable, clean and welcoming. Parking such a bonus so close to the village. Loved the patio areas and in fact loved everything about it.

- Joanne, July 2022

Delighted you enjoyed your stay and we have now added a pair of kitchen scissors. We agree that they are so useful and are unsure why they are the one item that seems to go missing regularly! Property Owner

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.

Note: Raised terrace may not be suitable for those with mobility issues. Note: please be aware that this property only accepts a minimum of 7 nights.
