Craft Cottage in Beer, Devon, receives high praise for its ideal location, cosy atmosphere, and well-equipped nature.

Guests that stayed at this property said
Most guests found Craft Cottage to be clean and comfortable. However, a few guests mentioned issues with cleanliness upon arrival, such as finding wrappers on the sofa and needing to wash utensils before use. These seem to be isolated incidents rather than the norm.
The location of Craft Cottage is consistently praised for being central and convenient, with easy access to shops, pubs, and the beach. Some guests noted noise from local traffic and buses, but this did not significantly detract from the overall positive feedback about the location.
Guests describe the cottage as warm, cosy, and comfortable, with plenty of space for families. The beds are particularly commended for their comfort. There were minor comments about the lack of a toilet on the top floor and the single bed being less comfortable for an adult.
Facilities at Craft Cottage are generally well-received, with the property being described as well-equipped. Some guests suggested updates to soft furnishings and the kitchen, and there were occasional comments about maintenance needs. The garden and the availability of a parking space are appreciated.
While many guests mention the abundance of thoughtful extras such as books, games, and DVDs, there is no specific mention of gifts provided by the owners. Therefore, it cannot be confirmed whether such gestures are a regular occurrence, and guests should not expect them as guaranteed.
About this property
A three-storey Grade II listed town house in the heart of Beer, a pretty and unspoilt fishing village on the South Devon coast. Fabulously presented with every attention to detail, and with some interesting period features including exposed wooden beams, this cottage is a fabulous welcoming holiday home. The front door, opening directly off the village square, leads into an attractive sitting room with large stone fireplace, window seats, a deep comfy leather sofa and a dining area, making it a really sociable room for the family on holiday. There is a petite kitchen, and a utility room leading to the garden, which is sunny, enclosed and has a footpath up to a cute summerhouse, a comfy little hideaway with furniture. There are two spacious bedrooms on the first floor, including the master king-size double which has a sofa and TV, so that adults can escape for a bit of peace and quiet at the end of a busy day on Beer beach. There are two further double bedrooms on the second floor, one with a shower. A short stroll from this cosy cottage takes you to the small pebbly cove, teeming with fishing boats and cafes. With numerous interesting places to visit nearby, including Seaton, Axminster, Branscombe and Sidmouth, this Devon holiday home is a perfect family base.
The small fishing village of Beer is situated on the famous Jurassic Coast in South Devon. The village offers a shingle beach, caves, sloping streets lined with picturesque stone houses and cottages, shops, cafes and pubs.

Couldn't do anything else for us. Good contact and everything we needed for our break. Highly recommended. Special mention for the quality of the bedding could not ask for better.

The days are getting colder and although it is a lovely old cottage the central heating was very efficient. The owners were very responsive to our questions and should we go back to Beer we would stay nowhere else.
