“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).

- Mr Vanrysselberghe, July 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.

“Great spot, lovely break.”

The house is exceptional, lovely view, lovely and spacious inside and a perfect patio and garden for appreciating where you are. It is not called Gulls Rest for nothing.

- Mr Macadam, April 2019
“The views from the house and garden were nothing short of spectacular.”

The whole house, which was extensive, was immaculate. I loved the sauna which is a beautiful addition to a house that already ticks all the boxes.

- Mr Dibden, April 2019
“Stunning Views.”

Excellent comfort and exceptionally well equipped. Within walking distance to Beer.

- Dr Silvester, October 2018
“Gull's Rest is an amazing property, extremely spacious and comfortable with stunning views.”

Owner was kind and helpful.

- Mr Lear, October 2018
“We had a lovely time in Beer - a charming village.”

House is great; spacious with beautiful views and lots of places to explore in East Devon. Thinking of returning to Beer already.

- The W Family,
“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.

- Mr & Mrs C Spencer,
“We had a wonderful break and were so impressed with the house and the thought that had been put into it by the owner.”

We will definitely return one day.

- Mr & Mrs Cairns,
“What can we say.”

..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.

- Mr K Walker,
“Very comfortable house with spectacular views.”

Loved the scent of lavender when we opened the patio doors. Really nice to have lots of space to relax

- The C Family,
“What a beautiful house, and the most spectacular views of the bay Immaculately clean and beautifully equipped - best holiday cottage we've ever stayed in.”

Weather not the best - but you can't have it all. So sad to be leaving this lovely spot - the week went far too fast.

- The K Family,
“We have loved our first stay in Beer - we even managed a couple of days of sun.”

The view from Gull's Rest is gorgeous with many breakfasts enjoyed outside We are leaving very chilled and relaxed.

- The S Family,
“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.

- Guest's review on TripAdvisor,

- The B and E Families,

“Wonderful location and views and superbly equipped home.”

We explored locally to Seaton, Branscombe, took walks along the undercliff where we enjoyed the 70 wild flowers we identified. Excellent base for Rest & Relaxation - Would recommend fish taster menu at Streamers. Weather superb!

- The Explorers!12 May 2017,
“Beautiful view makes for such a relaxing spot.”

Drinks at the terrrace were truly memorable! Enjoyed day trips to Sidmouth, Charmouth and Lyme. Loved the beach at Branscombe and fish & chips on the beach at Beer. Would recommend Streamers for dinner. Thank you for providing such a comfortable house.

- Mrs Jane Ainsworth,
“Again 7 years running, lovely holiday, our home from home.”

We could not have wished for better weather, waking up to a beautiful view in this wonderful house. Looking forward to coming back again! Thank you.

- Mr & Mrs Bolton,
“If you're looking for a beautiful place to stay, look no further.”

Gull's Rest provides everything you could possibly hope for: stunning views, great comfort and a convenient proximity to unspoilt nature as well as to the beach, to shops, cafÃ©s and pubs. We stayed for two weeks and will definitely consider to go there again.

- Guest's review on TripAdvisor,
“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.

Peaceful location

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

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

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 childrens' play area. Beer is a unique Devon fishing village and a great place to stay.

Note: The property has a Good House Keeping Bond of £100
