Tucked away in the village of Beer, just 100 metres away from Beer Beach, the sea and coastal path to Branscombe Beach, you'll be well-located for blissful coastal walks and enjoying fresh seafood from here. Dating back to the 17th century, the cottage is bursting with original charm as it was once an old lace shop, in which rumour has it – Queen Victoria's wedding dress was made. Stylish modern interiors bring it back to the 21st century with wooden floors and soft furnishings – all contributing to the nautical vibe carried throughout the home in keeping with its seaside setting. With two sitting rooms to relax – retreating here after days of coastal walking, wandering around the colourful beach huts and taking pitstops at the local pubs couldn't be more inviting. Ahh, we can smell the fresh sea air already. Bliss.
