“This was our second stay at lavender cottage and it was just as fabulous as the first.”

The welcome hamper is such a treat!! The Location is incredible with just a few minutes walk to shops, restaurants, pubs and the beach. The cottage is so well equipped and comfortable and has absolutely everything we needed- including a washing machine and dryer in the shed at the top of the garden- meaning no washing to do on our return home! There is such a special charm to this cottage and we have thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you!!

Penelope June 2026

“The cottage was lovely and the welcome pack was very gratefully received and a lovely touch.”

The parking space was good to have but was quite tight for our car. The kettle needs descaling and the toaster had crumbs in the pull out tray that had been there for some time. Other than that we would definitely recommend the cottage.

- Penelope, June 2026
Danielle June 2026

“We loved the cottage.”

By arriving we had a beautifull welcome packet which we appreciated very much. The cottage is in the center of the lovely village of Beer. The kitchen was good equipted. We had a nice terrace to sit outside by nice weather. Everything was very OK.

David May 2026

“Great property in the centre of Beer.”

Spotlessly clean. Comfortable bed; cotton linen. Gas fire for chilly evenings. Amazing welcome pack included milk, apple juice, quality tea and filter coffee, Moore's biscuits. Parking great. Would definitely use again.

- David, May 2026
Stephen September 2025

“Great property, very comfortable and so well placed.”

Parking is a bit of a challenge as you need to keep a right of way clear for pedestrians but as parking is at a premium it’s worth it. Remotes need new batteries as so often is the case. Would return.

“This is our 4th year visiting beer and the cottage made for the best stay yet!”

The location was absolutely ideal, just off the main high street which meant a 5 mins walk to shops/pubs/beach and the parking was an absolute bonus! The cottage was perfectly equipped with absolutely everything you'd need and the welcome hamper was a lovely surprise! The house itself is spacious and really well laid out. With 4 adults and a child there was plenty of room! The only tiny feedback I'd give is the sofa in the lounge (not snug) was a little shallow. This made it a tad uncomfortable for taller people, however the sofa in the snug was incredibly comfortable as were the beds. In summary, the cottage was immaculately clean and beautifully decorated, had everything we needed and more, the location was perfect and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to return next year!

“Had a lovely stay in Lavender Cottage.”

Great location and very comfortable and well equipped. One teeny tiny thing some washing up liquid would be good only two of us so didn’t use the dishwasher.

Jonathan August 2024

“We love Lavender Cottage and had a pleasant week (Aug 10 - 17, 2024).”

However...on arrival, * the dishwasher was full and still hot which meant having to do some work drying and sorting etc. * the downstairs toilet button was broken necessitating having to remove the cystern lid and flushing from the inside by depressing the flush mechanism. Not happy about this. * some of the cutlery in the draw had clearly not been washed properly and some had food clearly visible on them (photo available). This was very embarrasing as we had a friend staying with us. * the blind in the single bedroom was broken meaning it had to remain in the up position. A bedsheet had to be used to hang over the blind. We were wanting to return in October for a week but probably will not now. Very expensive cottage and beautiful etc. but we were very disappointed for the above reasons.

- Jonathan, August 2024

Thank you for taking the time to leave feedback, so glad to hear you loved the property. However, we appreciate that there were a few hiccups on arrival. Please rest assured that this has all been brought to the attention of the Housekeeping and Maintenance Team so it can be acted upon. It is certainly not how we wish guests to find a property so we will ensure that this is rectified. We hope you will return in the future. Thank you again for your comments, it is very important to us. Property Owner

“We have stayed in Lavender Cottage on multiple occasions.”

Rosemary May 2024

“The property was nice.”

Had problems with ants on work top and dining table, didn’t have much cupboard space to put food in and ended up with some ants in food. When eating a meal we had ants joining us on the table! Tried cooking a meal only to find the main oven didn’t work, so we ate out more than planned. We did enjoy how central the cottage is.. Parking was tight and was a little uncomfortable when we at our cars and locals were passing using the public right of way. However it didn’t spoil our stay as Beer is a beautiful place.

- Rosemary, May 2024

Thank you for your comments. We have looked into the issues you have reported and can confirm they have all now been resolved. LYME BAY TEAM Property Owner
Natasha May 2024

“The property was spotless, and I loved the attention to detail in the décor and aesthetics throughout the property, The beds were comfy.”

The cottage itself is very well equipped, has everything you could want, even found a little sewing kit for my husbands shirt button that had come off. Location is fabulous for costal walks, shops are close, and local eateries are also very close by. Although the chippy closed at 2pm which was annoying for us, as we tend to eat later. Sitting out on the terrace with a glass of wine on the evening or coffee in the morning was idyllic as it was accompanied by the sounds of birds, and other wildlife, a real gem Wouldn’t hesitate to book this again. Beer is great for all ages too as we had my son who is 2 and Grandad in his 70’s

- Natasha, May 2024
Peter April 2024

“The reason we have given only 3/4 for facilities/maintenance is that the windows needed cleaning more frequently.”

There were baked-on seagull stains which had not just happened over the last few days. We appreciate this is a problem in seaside locations but more frequent cleaning would assist. It would also have been useful to have more detailed instructions about the heating, we were able to work it out but it was trial and error, so instructions would have been handy. That said, this was a lovely cottage in a great location, very comfortable, with everything required, and the welcome bag of local goodies was a nice touch, as was the milk in the fridge. We would recommend the cottage to anyone wishing to stay in the area.

Ian July 2023

“A great holiday in a lovely cottage.”

Located in a perfect position. Far enough of the Main Street and a short walk to the beach. Having parking was a bonus in this village. The parking is a little tight but still a usable space. Would happily return to Lavender Cottage.

- Ian, July 2023
Sally June 2023

“We couldn't find a washing machine which was listed as available.”

Other than that it was a fantastic property and we had a lovely stay.

- Sally, June 2023

I’m so pleased that you had a lovely holiday. The washing machine is in a little utility at the end of the garden, I’m so sorry that you didn’t find it. We hope you’ll visit again Property Owner

“Just one point, we spent sometime opening the key safe, although we did put the correct code in we ended up having to keep wiggling the numbers and eventually it opened, so looks like it’s faulty.”

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. Beer is a unique Devon fishing village and a great place to stay.
