The Boat Shed

The Boatshed is a wonderful holiday apartment, part of a large, beautiful house and gorgeous garden with views out over the hills of Beer and the sea.

It is a comfortable, quiet (important!), and restful place with close access to the village and beyond by car or, if one is ambitious, by foot. The owners are welcoming and helpful, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

We had a lovely week at The Boat Shed.

Some lovely views. Great position to explore Devon and Dorset. Very comfortable, and a big garden the owners let you share with them and other guests of the other apartments. Although we seemed to be only ones on holiday that seemed to make use of it. Will book to stay again.

Beautiful spot to stay with our two dogs.

Lovely clean accommodation with a comfortable, large bed. The kitchen was well equipped for any self catering and there was a welcome scone and cream tea on our arrival. The house is mid-way between Beer (10mins) and Seaton (15mins) walk. There's a large supermarket in Seaton, 5 mins drive if you need provisions and a small village shop in Beer if you need emergency milk. Plenty of pubs in the local area and most shops and pubs are dog friendly. We walked to Branscombe which was very pleasant and had a lovely meal and drink by the beach, followed by a stroll back through the countryside. Thoroughly recommended

The house was generally very warm and comfortable, and it was very clean when we arrived.

We enjoyed the views from the lounge and master bedroom, despite the somewhat grey and damp weather! The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans etc, and the welcome cream tea was lovely! The king size bed was extremely comfortable but the two single beds were quite soft so our parents found their backs aching a bit by the end of the week. It would be helpful to include in the property description that the lounge is upstairs - this is not currently in the listing (I re-checked) and we may have thought twice about booking had we known, as we travelled with elderly parents who struggle with stairs. The sofa was quite low and soft which again, made it difficult for the older members of our party. There were plenty of items in the property to provide entertainment (both indoor and outdoor) which is throughtful, plus a folder full of detailed local information. The TV and washing machine were quite old - they did work but we are used more modern (and have experienced better in other holiday cottages) but overall, this house provided what we needed for an early break away.

Brilliant location very good and friendly owners.

Our second visit here in two different properties this time the 2 bedroom one.Fixtures and fittings superb nothing to fault.

Firstly the location was perfect for us, but unfortunately the property was extremely damp.

Also not very clean. Only some of the radiators worked correctly as they appear to need bleeding. We had to leave earlier than expected as our son was extremely I'll which turned out he has pneumonia.

Brilliant place to stay.

Peaceful but within easy walk to the town. Host was first class

What a lovely property, we arrived to find a lovely cream tea which was very welcoming.

The accommodation was exactly as listed, great location and incredible views. The owners could not have been more helpful and hospitable, they made our stay a real pleasure. We can’t wait to return.

We had a great holiday.

The accommodation was well presented and it was lovely to have such lovely sea views.

Great location and well organised accommodation.

Very welcoming with chocolate and Prosecco on arrival. Property has plenty of space and well equipped with everything we needed. Excellent position for walks into Beer and Seaton.

Lovely cottage, very clean and cosy with a delicious welcome cream tea laid out which was a lovely touch.

Met the owners who were super friendly and knowledgeable about the local area. Really nice garden to access, great walks nearby. Our dog loved it and it was a great place to take the kids. Would definitely recommend.

We spent blissful 5 days at the Boat shed.

It was very clean and comfortable. The owners, who live next door, are very welcoming and gave us a lot of helpful suggestions. The property is dog friendly with a beautiful garden and stunning sea views. The location of the property is great, a few minutes on foot from Beer. We would highly recommend it.

Thank you.

We had a great weekend. The accommodation is lovely. Thanks for cream tea.

We have had a lovely break in this delightful cottage.

Very relaxing with beautiful views. Hope to return before too long. Thank you.

What a beautiful place to stay.

We’ve stayed at The Garlands Beer twice now. The cottage is immaculately clean, cosy yet modern and all the facilities that are needed are there. Everything is done to a high standard. We were greeted by the hosts who were extremely friendly & helpful. The view from their garden (which is beautifully kept ) are breathtaking. Just a short walk into the picturesque town of Beer. We will definitely return there’s so much to visit or as we did on occasion just relax in the cottage & beautiful grounds.

The Boat Shed is a beautifully-presented cottage and is exceptionally clean.

There is access to a private patio and a large garden. It is set in lovely countryside within a 10-minute walk of the pretty village of Beer. The hosts are always extremely helpful; this is definitely worth a stay.

Wow!

What an amazing home you have! Thank you for your hospitality, Lesley & Justin. Loved the garden, the views and Beer itself. Not to mention Louis... I might just take him home!

We have had a lovely week in The Boat Shed.

Lovely house in great location to visit Devon!

Thank you for making us feel so welcome!

This location is absolutely stunning and your walking recommendations were perfect; not only for our dog walks but also for exploring the local towns and villages. We have had a lovely time.

I love this house.

It is super cosy and the owners are really nice and give great recommendations. The beds and sofa are super comfy and there are so many places to go from here.

I had a lot of fun in Devon.

The owners are very welcoming and helpful if you need recommendations. This is a very cosy and lovely house and you can quite easily walk down to the sea. Thank you

We all had a really lovely stay in Devon.
