Beer

Beer is a small Devon coastal town where most visitors base themselves in one of several well-regarded hotels or guest houses, many of which cluster around the seafront. The Dolphin Hotel is the largest establishment and long-established, while Durham House and Colebrooke House both score highly with guests. Bay View Guest House is rated 4.7 from 122 reviews, and there is an adults-only option at Belmont House. The Anchor Inn offers a simpler alternative. This is not a place for self-catering or camping – it is a town where you check in somewhere and settle in.

The main draw is Beer Quarry Caves, rated 4.8 from around 1,400 reviews. The caves are the star attraction, and they clearly justify a visit. Pecorama, a miniature railway and garden attraction, is rated 4.6 from 1,500 reviews and appeals to families and enthusiasts alike. Both are well-regarded enough to be worth building a trip around.

For eating out, Osborne's Bean & Cork is rated 4.6 from 138 reviews. Beyond that single listing, you will need to explore what the town itself offers – as with most small coastal places, there is likely more available than the records here capture. This is a quiet destination, popular with people who want a gentle base rather than a packed schedule, where the caves and the miniature railway are the headline attractions and the seafront provides the backdrop.
