YHA Beer

Room 4 was comfortable and well-heated, windows can be opened if necessary. There's a sink in the room (not drinking water) which was handy for brushing teeth and shaving. Several shower rooms and bathrooms down the hall with hot water (after a very short wait). Hostel wasn't very crowded so it was pretty quiet. Staff were really friendly and helpful and always ready to fix a tasty filter coffee for less than three quid. Didn't try food as I was often out first thing in the morning to catch a bus to Exeter (one a day), to Branscombe (tough walk back along coast path), Bridport (via Axminster Station), Lyme Regis and Seaton which seemed slow to wake up but had a Tesco and a Lidl as well as a nice cafe called Coast Cafe. Seaton Tramway was fun, nice walk around Colyton and in the Seaton Wetlands if you buy an Explorer ticket for the trams. 10/15 minute walk towards the beach brings you to plenty of bakeries, pubs, fish and chips shop and a well-stocked local store (closes at 6pm). The lack of crowds made it seem much more of a holiday.

Lovely arts and crafts YHA on the edge of a beautiful little seaside village. Small and friendly. Had a nice ground floor private room, shared facilities and breakfast was good. Would visit again when in the area. Lots to do and see locally and lots of places to eat in Beer.

Beautiful Youth Hostel for families in an Arts and Crafts house with a large garden to explore, well maintained, warm and spotless. We stayed in an ensuite soon with 6 bunks, which delighted our 9 and 11 year olds. Warm welcome from the staff. Great alternative to the studio flats we could have rented for the weekend for the same price with access to the kitchen, dining room, lounge and garden. Lots to do in the area, walks, Beer’s hard working beach and attractions within walking distance. Highly recommend
