“Fantastic place to spend time in,couldn't have been any better.”

“Gull’s Rest is our home from home with the most stunning views!”

This has been our sixth visit to Gull’s Rest and we will be returning next year. It is our happy place where we can relax the minute we get through the door. The house is superbly appointed with everything you could possibly need. All the rooms are exceptionally spacious and comfortable. My husband and I have the top floor which has a wonderful master bedroom with a huge ensuite with a bath. There is a balcony where you can sit and enjoy a morning cuppa admiring the seaview. There is also a kitchen on this floor along with a sauna and shower room. There is a very large tv in the master bedroom and also in the lounge. Beer itself is a very pretty fishing village and unspoilt. There are some excellent restaurants, including Steamers and The Smugglers Kitchen along with the Anchor Pub overlooking the sea. We would highly recommend! 10/10! Anita, Mick and family

- Anita, August 2024

Thank you for your amazing feedback, WOW your 6th visit and your coming back next year, you must love it as much as we do. We would love to have you back again next year for your 7th visit. Take care Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Leisa August 2024

“The family had the most enjoyable holiday here.”

The house was perfect and the views were stunning especially at sunrise and sunset. The village was easily accessible and we had a great time getting to the beach in less than 10 minutes walk. We were also able to access many activities in the surrounding areas and did something everyday including sea fishing and visiting the shooting ranges. Would definitely love to visit again.

- Leisa, August 2024

Thank you for your wonderful feedback. We are delighted that your family enjoyed your stay and took part in many of the local activities on offer. We hope we can welcome you back again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
John July 2024

“Fantastic house with great views.”

Only drawback was a lack of space for recycling items. A 3 weekly collection is very poor. The cleaners helped us out so we didn't have to take stuff home. Wall to wall sunshine for a week was a bonus

- John, July 2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback. The local council's website states that food and recycling waste are collected weekly, and any extra can be placed in carrier bags at the bin's side. The housekeepers will also assist with the rubbish. We are delighted that you enjoyed the views and were blessed with good weather. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Stephen July 2024

“Generally very good with spectacular views and great space.”

Only criticisms are that the garden requires maintenance with plants obstructing the pathways, and the first floor bedroom needs blackout curtains or blinds. Otherwise a great holiday destination.

- Stephen, July 2024

Thank you for this feedback and we're glad you enjoyed your stay and loved the wonderful views. We will pass on your comments to the owner regarding the garden and hope this didn't impact your stay. We would love to welcome you again. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner
Geoff June 2024

“Really nice property meaning we could thoroughly enjoy our stay.”

Much better than expected although the promotion page does give you all you need to know. The communal seating area in the lounge is great for everyone to gather around as is the dining table. The comfortable beds were very welcome. Highly recommended.

- Geoff, June 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your stay at Gull's Rest. We are so pleased you enjoyed your stay with us and i hope you made the most of the beaches being so close, it's lovely on a clear day. We would love to welcome you for another trip away in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Paul June 2024

“This property was very spacious and comfortable for our group of 6 adults.”

The kitchen was exceptionally well equipped. The views over Beer village and bay from the living room, master bedroom and garden were stunning. Beer is a lovely village and we would recommend the Smugglers Kitchen restaurant. We went there twice. The single bedroom was very small without room for a bedside table and the meaning of the reference in the property description to its "Jack and Jill access to bathroom" was not clear and not really true. A floor plan would have been better.

- Paul, June 2024
Richard May 2024

“A really wonderful place from every respect.”

The facilities perfect, the views outstanding. But you need to be fit. It's a ten minute walk to the beach. All down hill. The walk back up is strenuous. My two Grandchildren loved it.

- Richard, May 2024

Thank you for your feedback with regards to your recent stay at Gull's Rest. We are delighted to hear how much you and your Grandchildren enjoyed the stay and as you mentioned, it's wonderful the beach is so close to the property. We hope to welcome you again in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages. Property Owner
James April 2024

“Great holiday.”

Lovely place. A couple of things were not working in the house. Sauna and steam oven. We did report to number given but really only got a response how to use it and did not offer to fix. Could improve communication there. Otherwise a fantastic stay and would use again.

- James, April 2024

Thank you for sharing this feedback. We're delighted you had such a lovely holiday at Gull's Rest but sorry to hear that you experienced issues with the sauna and steam oven. The owner has checked the sauna which is now working perfectly and also apologises if you were unable to use the steam oven. We have an engineer confirmed to fix this in early May but in the meantime both a standard oven and microwave are available. We hope to welcome you again soon. Best wishes Manor Cottages Property Owner

“Fabulous holiday house.”

As another reviewer stated it is better than the description. Loads of room for everyone, fantastic facilities plus great views and location within easy walk of the village and beach

“This is a lovely, well maintained and cared for home.”

We have stayed on more than one occasion now and it has always been a pleasure to return!

- Carole, September 2023
Richard September 2023

“What an absolutely fabulous place to stay.”

The views are spectacular and the house was very comfortable and everything you could wish for was available. I would say this is the best self catering accommodation my wife and I have ever stayed in. It's not cheap by any means but I would say it represents good value for what you get. We'll be back.

- Richard, September 2023

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with your feedback. We are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time away and we hope that we can welcome you again one day soon. Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Judith August 2023

“We were delighted with the house.”

Everything was clean and tidy and of a very high standard. If anything the description and photos do not do justice to the size of rooms. We were very impressed by the stunning views from the back of the house. The garden warning given refers to the drop from the lower terrace to the sloping wildflower meadow. (Before arrival we feared, a fall off a cliff!). There is also a steep path down the garden which takes you to a footpath, making the walk into Beer shorter. What would make it better? Another 6 teaspoons for days we ate out and didn't use the dishwasher!

- Judith, August 2023

Thank you for your lovely feedback, It's always wonderful to hear when guests have had a fabulous time staying. We will pass on your comment about the teaspoons, I'm sure the owner will add a few more in, so thank you for letting us know. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards Manor Cottages Property Owner
Anita August 2023

“We have just returned from Gull’s Rest having had a truly lovely week.”

This is our fifth time of staying here and its charm never fails. We will be returning next year as we can’t think of anywhere else we would rather be. As I say to my husband it is my little bit of heaven. The house is beautiful and very well appointed. It’s an extremely spacious house and the view is spectacular. Beer itself is very pretty and magical. We go out for the day visiting other places nearby which are beautiful but we always say none are more beautiful than Beer itself. The owner Jackie is exceptionally helpful and always makes us feel so welcome. She gives Gull’s Rest it’s heart. We feel privileged to stay here. Roll on next year! We give it 10/10! Anita and Mick

- Anita, August 2023

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with such lovely feedback! We love that Gull's Rest has become a second home! We can't wait to welcome you again soon. Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Robert July 2023

“An amazingly location with stunning views across the valley and down to the beach, it’s beautifully decorated, with comfortable furnishings and great facilities.”

There are times you honestly don’t want to leave the house to explore Devon, you just want to sit on the patio and take in the view and forget the outside world exists. Beer itself is a throwback to simpler times, you’ll find no Starbucks or McDonalds here (or supermarkets) so little independent shops and restaurants thrive, and some of the streets could be straight out of a film set. It’s blissful. That being said, it’s not without its downside. The upstairs bedroom and ensuite are jaw-droppingly gorgeous (to the point where being woken at dawn because of the thin blinds is actually a bonus) but the bed is positioned off centre of the concrete roof beams making for numerous head injuries if getting out of bed in the dark while half asleep. We ended up moving furniture around to stop this from happening then moving it back the day we left. There are some very dubious stains on some of the blinds and toilet walls, broken or at least very loose toilet fixings, flickering lights in the living room and for the second week of our stay we couldn’t use the upstairs shower or sauna as an electrical fault plunged the room in to pitch dark (despite Sykes cottages being told of the problem no one got in contact to fix it). The sauna itself is great (when you can see it) but does need a clean because it does have an aroma all if its own. There’s nothing that a day or two of maintenance couldn’t fix but it does take the shine off what could/should be a perfect holiday home.

- Robert, July 2023

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback on your stay. We are glad to hear that you overall enjoyed your time at Gull's Rest, and we appreciate your suggestions for improvement. The sauna light has been replaced since your stay, and we are available if you wanted anything rectified during your stay. We hope that the issues you experienced did not leave a lasting impact, and that we can welcome you again one day soon. Best wishes, Manor Cottages. Property Owner
Adrian June 2023

“Gulls Rest is simply superb.”

We all agreed it’s the best house we’ve stayed in. The views were jaw dropping and the fit and finish of the house matched the views. Not one complaint on the house. Only thing to say really is that because of its position on top of a hill, expect some strenuous exercise to walk into town and back. I wouldn’t even call this a negative as it do s get to our fitness levels up !

- Adrian, June 2023

Thank you for your wonderful feedback with regards to your stay at Gull's Rest. We are glad you had an enjoyable stay and hope to welcome you back again very soon. Kind regards Hideaways. Property Owner

The owners have thought of everything. The house has lots of nice touches and we really appreciated the fresh flowers and welcome drink. The view is amazing. We hope to return.

“Gulls Rest is a fantastic place to stay, great views across Beer.”

A peaceful and relaxing property which is superbly situated and gives you everything you need for a stay away break.. highly recommended

- Marcus, May 2022
Robert October 2021

“Gulls Rest is well located at the top of the hill in the pretty village of Beer.”

The front of the property is unassuming with steep steps/slope down to the front door from the road. Entering the house feels like stepping back in time a cosy hallway greets you; off of which are three bedrooms and a cloakroom, good sized kitchen/diner with separate utility and the magnificent lounge. Stairs from the lounge lead to the huge first floor bedroom boasting a very tired looking Super King Bed and an equally large bathroom as photographed with a hand held shower only. A previous reviewer pointed out this bedroom is in the roof and so is very warm in the summer. In November it was cold and in no way inviting despite the magnificent space and stunning views. As only the two of us were using the house we decided to sleep downstairs. One bedroom provided a very soft King and the other a soft Double we had one each. The single bed did not look comfortable! The Bathroom is not Jack and Jill, it is a shared bathroom with a shower over the bath. The double room has the tiniest of en suite showers with no window or radiator so relies on a fan and heat from the bedroom to keep the room dry. The rooms are very useable but are in no way modern. The property is spotlessly clean. The linens are clean but not hotel white, you are staying in someone's home, vases of fresh flowers were a lovely touch. It is the back of the property that really has the wow factor with stunning views across the village and Lyme Bay. There is a beautiful east facing garden which has been terraced to allow different seating areas, in the summer I doubt you would want for more, with its visiting birds of all kinds and spectacular views. Enjoy the stars, listen out for the owl and the church bells. I am told you may even see dolphins. We enjoyed our stay at Gulls Rest. It gave us a quiet and relaxing stay in a beautiful part of Devon.

“It was our second visit and lived up to expectations as it did the first time.”

Joanna August 2021

“Overall, we have had an amazing time at Gull's rest The house offered amazing space for our large family.”

The views from the living/dining room, master bedroom and the gardenAs previous reviews mentioned, the mattress in the single room needs urgent attention as it is very uncomfortable. All we can think of that would come handy are some blankets/throws which could be used outside in the evenings.

- Joanna, August 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave a feedback, we are delighted you enjoyed your stay and made good use of the facilities, we will forward your recommendation to the owner, looking forward to welcoming you again soon. Property Owner

“Beautiful house, stunning views.”

Beer is completely unspoilt and a hidden treasure. We are returning next year. Next year will be our 4th visit. Wonderful family times spent here.

- Anita, August 2021
Katrina July 2021

“The accommodation was fantastic.”

It was large enough to accommodate all 6 adults and a toddler. Having a bathroom for each couple was ideal. The views from the house were great. Beer itself is a lovely little town.

- Katrina, July 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments, the views are amazing! Property Owner
Jane July 2021

“Gulls’ Rest is in a great location and the views from the sitting room and terrace are outstanding.”

The property is well equipped with lots of crockery etc in the kitchen. Cleanliness was super. However it falls down in a couple of aspects. The bed in the single room is appalling- would go as far as to say the worst bed I’ve ever (not) slept in. This really does need addressing. Also bath sheets rather than the smaller version would be a plus.

- Jane, July 2021

Many thanks for your feedback on Gull's Rest. We apologise that your experience of the single bed was not to your preference. On the next change over it will be investigated. We agree the views from the property are outstanding. Property Owner

Alex May 2021

“We thought the accommodation was amazing, spacious, clean, very good facilities and an amazing view over the valley and of the sea.”

We loved the ice maker as we hit on a week with very good weather, and made use of the sauna (although the temperature and humidity sensors weren't working). We even saw a pod of dolphins from the accommodation on our last morning. It's well located close to Beer and the coastal path and beer is a charming village and with Covid in mind didn't feel too busy. The only slight down sides were that although the upstairs accommodation is very spacious and with great views, it is in the roof-space so got very hot and the gulls do like to 'rest' on the roof in the early morning and get very vocal, which together with only thin blinds over an east facing window meant that I was waking about 5.30am each morning. The bed was very soft but I did get used to it. However, the single bed downstairs has very noise spring which made a noise every time the person in that bed turned over so did hinder sleep a little. Otherwise, it was an almost perfect holiday and we would probably return.

- Alex, May 2021

Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments on Gull's Rest. It is amazing to hear you were able to see a pod of dolphins. The owner has taken all comments on board. If you stay in the future and experience any issues please do not hesitate to contact whilst in the property, as we aim to resolve them immediately. A replacement mattress would have been organised for you. We hope ypu return in the future. Property Owner

“We are aware that having a wonderful view you will have steps but a rail for ...”

We are aware that having a wonderful view you will have steps but a rail for the steps would have been a blessing for us I think you should mention not really suitable for people with a walking problem even the pathway was very steep

- Valerie, August 2020

Thank you for providing feedback on your recent stay at Gull's Rest. We value all feedback provided and we will pass your comments to the owner with regards to the rail in the garden. We hope to welcome you back again in the future. Property Owner

“A beautiful house with wonderful views.”

Very well equipped and comfortable. We stayed with our daughter and her family so the set up of almost a separate living space upstairs was ideal. Excellent

Daniel July 2019

“The expectations were already high.”

The description was very promising. The house and the facilities were great, the view surpasses everything! We were lucky to be there in a dry and sunny week, so we could enjoy the view from the terrace(s).

- Daniel, July 2019
Derick June 2019

“This truly is a luxurious holiday home.”

The appliances are top of the range, there is attention to detail everywhere you look and the furniture and bedding are very clean and comfortable. The owner really has not spared on quality. Thoughtful touches include flip flops in a basket by the front door (for those who have forgotten theirs) and Prosecco, biscuits and home made marmalade (which was delicious) on arrival. The views from the large rear windows and patio area are wonderful, you could spend hours sun bathing/sitting there taking in the view of the sea or across the valley. Interestingly, the upper floor has its own kitchen and is effectively self contained meaning that a family could sleep in the two spacious en-suite doubles and single room on the ground floor with perhaps relatives or friends in the large double on the first floor.

- Derick, June 2019
Dave April 2019

..this has certainly been the favourite holiday home we have stayed. The house is stunning with everything you would need in the well equipped kitchen. The terrace is a delightful place to sit and relax with such amazing views, I don't want to leave. We have been blessed with gorgeous weather, rained for a short time on two occasions though managed to dodge showers! The beauty which can be seen all around from this terrace is something we shall always remember. We went blackberry picking and made a delicious crumble! Thank you so much.

Guest's review on TripAdvisor

“We have been to Gulls rest 6 times in the last 8 years and have already booked our 7th visit for next year 2017.”

The place just gives you the feeling of luxury, the moment you step through the door you know you have booked the right place, the bedrooms and living areas are so well equipped. A short walk down the hill where you can visit the local pub, hotel or pick up some really fresh seafood for the evening meal on the patio while watching the yachts playing in the bay below followed by a nice sauna. The location itself is perfect for coastal walks, a visit to Sidmouth or Lyme Regis. Gulls Rest is a home from home - a perfect place to relax and unwind.

I am writing to let you know what a fabulous time we had in a stunning property. On arrival everything was exactly as stated and the property was immaculate. All we could say was â€˜WOW'. My friends congratulated me on my choice! We would definitely be interested in revisiting at some future date.

“Have just spent a wonderful week at Gull's Rest.”

Lovely, spacious house with amazing, well-maintained facilties and a tasteful, thoughtful decor. The views from the terrace, master bedroom and main living area over Beer were stunning and the location could not be bettered - despite the steep walk from the village. Lyme Regis, Axminster, Seaton, Sidmouth, Budleigh Salterton and Otterton Mill are all within easy reach. Would definitely recommend for a luxury break. We hope to return.

“We booked Gulls Rest mainly because of the views and we were not disappointed.”

\ Facilities were of a high standard although it was a shame the inbuilt coffee maker was not in use. We enjoyed the space and of course the views from the master bedroom and the bed there was very comfortable.

“Gull's rest is the perfect holiday home.”

It is very spacious, beautifully decorated and furnished to a high standard and is both comfortable and peaceful. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you could possibly require. The views from the terrace and bedroom balcony are truly amazing.We felt very blessed to have experienced this little bit of Heaven on earth with so much natural beauty surrounding what we consider our favourite holiday home. Beer village is beautiful with gorgeous little shops with very friendly locals. It is an excellent location from which to visit beautiful Devon and Dorset.

The property

Gull's Rest is set high on the hillside and with magnificent views over the village of Beer - a finalist in Village of the Year 2018 - the harbour, the sea (as far as Weymouth and Portland on a clear day) and the World Heritage Jurassic Coast.

You will not be disappointed by this superbly appointed house providing guests with a luxurious base from which to enjoy all the pleasures of this popular area.

Gull's Rest is one of those rare houses which inspires an involuntary gasp of delight when you first catch sight of the views it offers.

The owners carefully extended the original house to take full advantage of the amazing views, both from inside the house (most of the front of the sitting room is glass and the vast master bedroom has a similar front wall and a balcony) and from the attractive terraced gardens immediately Outside .

With its superb facilities - state-of-the-art kitchen with granite work-tops, generous bath and shower rooms (including a sauna) - and its general air of welcome, Gull's Rest qualifies on all counts as the perfect base for an unforgettable holiday in this lovely area

Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

About the location

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, plus just outside the village is the popular Pecorama Gardens, which are perched on the hill overlooking Lyme Bay. Pecorama boasts the Beer Heights Light Railway and indoor model railway exhibition, along with a children's play area. Beer is a unique Devon fishing village and a great place to stay.
