Beachcomber Cottage

Seaton and nearby Beer are working fishing villages with genuine character rather than resort polish. The high street in Beer has independent shops, cafes and pubs; the beach itself is a short walk away. Beachcomber Cottage sits close to the action, recently updated with new windows and furnishings throughout.

The cottage sleeps six across three bedrooms: two doubles and a twin, plus a bathroom with shower over the bath. Downstairs, the living room has a wood-burning stove and a 45-inch smart TV, while the kitchen-dining room is fully equipped for self-catering, with a dishwasher and washing machine among the essentials. A separate toilet is on the ground floor. The essentials—heating, electricity, bed linen, towels and wi-fi—are included.

The enclosed back garden is the real asset: hedged and fenced, with a patio, furniture and a sunny aspect from mid-morning onwards. It's particularly good for families with young children or those travelling with a dog. There's a public car park nearby, though at a charge. No smoking inside the property.
