Good sized cottage and very well equipped. Small and awkwardly shaped car parking space but it is right outside cottage. The area is very hilly.
Jennifer

Louise
Great location and well equipped.
Dennis
areport will beforwarded with phtographs
Carol
Lovely cottage in a great location. The property could do with a bit of updating, in places it was looking a bit tired but very comfortable and in a great location. Really well equipped kitchen plus games and DVD's although there didn't seem to be a DVD player as advertised
Diana
Purley is a lovely, large and airy cottage .It has a beautiful seating area outside and the added bonus of a parking space. However the cleanliness (or lack of) really let's the property down.
Pavel
Comfortable house in small, quiet and beautiful town of Beer just in 5 min walk from beach, highly recommended!
Keith
Lovely property very comfortable good location very clean and tidy plenty of crockery pots and pans
Rachael
Enjoyed our stay here, cottage spacious in an excellent location, although more like 500 metres to the beach. A bit of TLC definitely needed but well equipped accommodation. Beer is a lovely location.
Gary
Large cottage light and airy and in a good position in the village, needs some updates both inside and out. It's a bonus having the sun on the patio from early morning to early evening.Washing line and pegs would of been handy, Would of been helpful if we had known the washer, was in fact a washer dryer before we arrived, better photos of the patio would be beneficial.
Amanda
Lovely cottage. Brilliant location. Very spacious.
Chris
The cottage was in a lovely location with good parking right outside.
