This stylish cottage sleeps four guests and is a great base for small families and couples; with an open-plan layout, it’s the perfect place to enjoy quality time together. The property is located in the pretty fishing village of Beer, on the picturesque Jurassic Coast, and has a fantastic selection of walks in all directions. The South West Coast Path passes through the village, taking you high onto the cliffs and spoiling you with truly magical views along this iconic stretch of coastline. Heading east, you’ll soon reach the seaside town of Seaton (2 miles), where you can ride on the heritage tramway and try a huge variety of water sports. Journey west, and you’ll discover the picture-postcard village of Branscombe (3 miles), with its colourful cottages, thatched buildings, and painted beach huts. If you fancy a day at the beach without the walking, Beer also has an adorable shingle beach, where you can share a picnic and watch the fishing boats going about their daily business. It’s also a great beach for rock pooling and fossil hunting. There are some great family attractions within easy reach, including Crealy Theme Park (16 miles) and Sidmouth’s Donkey Sanctuary (5.5 miles).

The end-of-terrace cottage has an open-plan layout, creating a bright and spacious ground-floor living area comprising a lounge/kitchen/diner. Underfloor heating runs throughout the ground floor, ensuring a warm welcome, whatever the season. The cottage has been impeccably decorated, with subtle seaside tones and beautiful beach-themed artwork and accessories. Come together around the large dining table for memorable evenings of great food, followed by a movie night on the comfortable sofas in the lounge area. Heading upstairs, you’ll find the two tasteful bedrooms. There is a king-size bedroom with an en-suite shower room and an inviting twin bedroom. The family bathroom is also located on this floor.

To the front of the property is an patio area, with pretty hanging baskets adorning the walls. There is a bench and a bistro set, where you can sip a morning coffee or a sundowner at the end of the day.

The Sail Loft is a very well equipped and tastefully decorated holiday cottage situated in the quaint seaside resort of Beer. Its proximity to the town and beach is welcome, but be prepared for the hilly though worthwhile journey to both locations.

The cottage was absolutely beautiful and so clean. It had everything we could have needed and it was a joy to spend the week there. The location was perfect and weve been frantically googling how to move to Beer. So much to do in the area, even with a toddler. Highlight was the Donkey Sanctuary. A glorious family holiday in a stunning cottage. WeRead more will be back! Thank you x Hide

Everything was to our satisfaction with the acception of the check in and check out times. Most accommodation check in times are between 12:00pm and 3:00pm and check out times 10:00am/11:00am. Effectively we lost a day in our 7 day holiday. Your check in and check out times don't seem entirely fair.
