What our customers say about their holidays

Lesley - Verified booking

We had a lovely holiday in Beer.

Craft Cottage is in the village itself so it is an easy walk to the local shops, pubs, restaurants and beach. When we looked at the parking in the details before our holiday we thought it might be a bit of a pain having to walk down the road and unlock the gate every time, but it was easy to do and caused no problems. It was out of season, therefore the shops/restaurants were open for shorter hours or less days, but we didn't find this to be a problem. Because it was out of season, it was lovely and quiet. Everyone parks outside Craft cottage to visit the Village Store, which would be more annoying in high season as it would be busier. It is quite noisy outside in the mornings with deliveries to the shop and the school buses reversing into the bus stop. The cottage is very comfortable and had everything we needed. We weren't able to get the gas fire to light while we were there which was a little bit disappointing. There is central heating also which we were thankful for. We have a small dog who isn't able to walk very far. This meant that to reach any level grass for him to use for toileting, we had to go up to the cliff top car park. However, there are lovely views from up on the cliff so although it was a bit of a palaver, it was worth it! We would definitely visit again.

From the original contact with questions on the cottage with Sykes to the contact with the owners for the access, I have nothing but praise for this little gem of a property and the booking process.

The cottage was just as described and had everything you could possibly want and more. It was truly home from home, not the usual 'sterile' holiday let with only the bare basics to survive, there was an abundance of extras, books, DVDs, children's books, games. Plenty of glasses, crockery, children's bowls/plates, chairs outside, picnic bags, blankets etc etc etc. There are two huge bedrooms, with another really good size double and a cute single, (which was nabbed straight away by my grand daughter, with a huge teddy bear that she didn't want to leave behind !) With it being in the middle of the village, yes there was a little noise from the bus stop, but nothing major, but if you want a central position then there will be some traffic noise, but it's not a busy village with through traffic. It is truly a lovely traditional seaside village, with 3 pubs that offer good food, tea room/cafe, cocktail bar, fish and chip shop and a lovely restaurant, which also offers its full menu as a takeaway option if you cannot get booked, add to that the cafes on the beach and you will be well catered for. I would don't hesitate to come again, and hope to revisit in the future Thank you Craft Cottage for a lovely week with my family

This is a charming cottage with many interesting artefacts.

It's location in central Beer is excellent. We are early risers and were untroubled by local traffic noises. The cottage is nicely maintained and well equipped although some soft furnishings and decoration, in particular on the ground floor, are looking jaded and in need of refreshing. As a party of 6 adults we found the lack of a toilet on the top floor of the building to be something of a challenge. The availability of a pleasant garden with useful seating was an asset. The 18 month old, with whom we were holidaying, loved the collection of children's books and toys. I recommend the addition of some basic cleaning equipment, a fully functioning vacuum cleaner and modern dustpan and brush, to allow visitor to keep the cottage tidy during their stay.

We were very disappointed with the cleanliness of this cottage.

The fridge smells dreadful and in need of a thorough cleaning. I put a bowl of bicarbonate of soda inside and that made it bearable to open the door. Microwave,kettle and oven were all grubby. The cutlery trays also. Paintwork needs refreshing and skirting boards and radiators very dusty. When I stripped the bed at the end of our stay the mattress cover was grubby and there was a tear in an obviously old mattress, the quilt also had a coffee or tea stain on it. The living room carpet needs a good shampoo. Such a shame as the cottage is in a perfect location at the top of the village opposite the local shop. Also would be very comfortable for a family with lots of toys,games and books for a rainy day.

We loved Craft Cottage - very comfortable beds, beautifully decorated & brilliantly well equipped accommodation.

We love cooking and ate in each evening (well, we sat outside to eat) although petite, the kitchen has everything you need. The only niggle was that there is no parking at the Cottage - the allocated space is down the road a little way, through a very narrow road, and visitors had to use the public car park (also quite near, but in the height of summer, sometimes full!) The Cottage is extremely thoughtfully resourced - the best collection of books and dvds weâve seen! The outside furniture is very comfortable (blankets even provided so you can sit out all evening, when it gets chilly!) We would all highly recommend Craft Cottage (and Beer) for a lovely family holiday. Thank you.
