  We had a great time and thought the cottage was lovely, however there were a couple of things that let it down and I would not rate 4*. 1. The sofas were really small and uncomfortable and most evenings we resorted to lying on the rug. Cosy sofas would transform the sitting area. 2. The tv was small. This is very subjective I know but in the winter nights most people will settle down to a good film on the sofas and we struggled to do this. 3. Bedroom 2 was very small for 2 adults, maybe only suitable for children? The bulkiness of the bed frames did not help. 4. The distance from the car to the property was hard work with all our luggage. 5. It would have been a lovely gesture for Christmas decorations to be provided. I have spoken to friends about this and all have said when they go away for Christmas the house is decorated. We had to bring our own tree etc which was disappointing. 6. I would have given very good for cleanliness but there were a lot of cobwebs in the property. 7. With regard to the view I would personally cut down the large fir tree just to the front of the property.

  The property was lovely, well maintained, very comfortable, and very clean inside.

  Only three comments: 1) there is a big building site on the sea front in direct line between the property and the sea; this substantially diminishes the sea view (I imagine the owners may not be happy with the new development!), but while it is a building site, it would be helpful for this to be mentioned on the listing details as it would be important for those with special needs to know in advance; 2) I fully appreciate the difficulty with keeping the outside of a property clean with the number of seagulls present in the area! But the outside space was pretty much unusable because of the amount of bird droppings, not all of which seemed particularly recent. I know it's an inherent hazard of the location, but wonder if slightly more frequent cleans would be possible? 3) the blind for the sun light in the downstairs back bedroom does not fully close. It stops well short of the end of the run, and so it is not possible to keep light out in the early mornings. It would be good if this could be fixed. Overall though, we had a lovely week and would thoroughly recommend the property.

  Perfect cottage in the best location in Beer! The cottage sits on a pretty flower filled pedestrian only path above Beer village. It has incredible views over Beer towards the sea and the little garden is a sun trap all day. The cottage itself is well equipped, bright and comfortable. We especially appreciated the added little touches such as child friendly plates and the child step for the downstairs toilet sink! Our granddaughter absolutely loved spotting the little mice (not real!!) and their houses painted on the skirting boards. The owner has thoughtfully left little homely touches like the well used height measurement on the kitchen door - so sweet to see Oly growing up!!! Also pebbles and shells collected from the beach and painted by previous holidaymakers. The owner is lovely and responded to our messages quickly. Thanks for a magical week (we actually loved it so much we stayed an extra day!) we will be back soon!!

  This is our 3rd time at the property which we absolutely love.

  We even love watching the seagulls and their babies that are nesting in the buildings in front of the property. The only thing that spoilt it a bit this time is the building works on the front promenade which of course the property owners do not have any control over but feel should maybe be mentioned in the description. We love to sit on the balcony or in the lounge area with the doors open early morning but the noisy building works started at 8am continuing throughout the day did spoil the early morning peace and quiet. We also had a bit of difficulty locking the both balcony doors as the handles were quite stiff. I wouldn’t have been able to lock them if my husband hadn’t been there. Having said that we had a lovely week thank you, no doubt we will return, it is the one holiday property I would love to pick-up and transport home to live in myself.

  Property was very clean and equipped well but the location is awful.

  The front of the property overlooks a supermarket car-park, and a busy restaurant which is uncomfortably close. The view over the top of the restaurant roof consists of run down buildings and a large crane at a construction site for a waterfront development. There is a lot of noise from the restaurant and even more noise from the seagulls who gather on the restaurant roof and carry on throughout the night. It is not enjoyable being outside on any of the seating areas. The allocated parking space is right next to a busy pedestrianised thoroughfare for the supermarket, restaurant and access into town with a constant flow of people walking past. Due to the points mentioned I would not recommend this property.
