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

Devon, with its quiet country lanes, patchwork of lush green fields and sleepy villages is not to be missed. Stately home lovers will be spoiled and why not finish with a scrumptious Devonshire cream tea?

Reviews of The Barn

"We came here to celebrate my mums 80th birthday..at one time there was 13 of us and we all found it very comfortable and plenty of room! The house was spotless on arrival and a lovely bottle of wine for us to enjoy! The rooms all had en suites, you had everything you could need in the house! As it says in the welcome book the peacock enjoys a chocolate biscuit..and how right they are! The kids loved feeding him his daily biscuit and collecting the eggs from the chickens! We had some lovely walks down to the lake..if a little steep on the way back! We had Jamie take us out on the Polaris which was great fun! He made it very enjoyable and a lot of laughs were had! The hot tub was lovely to chill out in! We all had a great week thank you!"

"My group were staying in "The Barn" for a long weekend. Our purpose was so that we had a base for the local sporting event "The Grizzly" a long arduous endurance race. We needed somewhere comfortable and relaxing to stay that provided warmth, comfy beds, lovely showers and bath, recreational facilities and comfy chairs / sofa's all in a clean enviroment. "The Barn" provided all of this. Some of my group also stayed at the other house on the site "Lower Wadden". I spent time in there also and although the layout was different, the facilities met the same high standards. Being an animal lover, I paid attention to the condition of animals kept near the accommodation. They were kept beautifully and they appeared content. The peacocks are very friendly and come up for food when they see visitors. Personally I fell in love with the young ostrich who also enjoyed being fed and gave lots of his big eyed side ways glances. All of the group enjoyed their stay and all spoke highly of the facilities. We are very likely to use again."
