Mr Partridge
Very clean, well equiped and thoughful decor. The location is very convenient for Beer seafront and is only a short walk to the shops, restaurants and pubs. Being able to park on the front was also brilliant.

We have been visiting Beer every year since 1989. We have stayed in lots of different cottages in that time, and this is by far the best cottage we have stayed in. It was very clean, very well equipped, comfortable, great size property and fantastic views across the village. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Arts and Crafts cottage very sympathetically restored. Lots of original features . Two lovely shower rooms and new kitchen and utility. Lovely views from the patio over the village. Very clean and well equipped. Parking a bonus although quite difficult. Felt honoured to have been allowed to stay here. Best cottage we've stayed in in Beer and our family has been coming to Beer for 80 years so we've stayed in most of them!
