“The location of the house was perfect.”

The house had everything our family needed to enjoy a stay in a house that felt like a home.

“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.

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

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

- Mrs Holding, 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. Owner relations

“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.

“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 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.

“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.

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.

“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.

“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.

“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.

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
