Unbeatable spot for Branscombe

Great spot, second from last on the row of cabins, meaning easy beach access and away from majority of passing walkers. Not that there are many! We'll be back.

Beautiful Branscombe

Have been coming to Branscombe for years and stayed in many of the chalets. Snipe is well presented and comfortable and we especially loved the fact we could bring our dog! Wished we could have stayed for longer.

Chalet on the beach

We found the chalet delightful, beautifully decorated, clean and tidy and well equipped. The only criticism being that none of the windows were clean which one would expect when paying £200/night.

Perfect beachside holiday chalet. Well planned & thought thro, ideal for couples or families (small)

Whilst weather was disappointing, we enjoyed walks inland to Fountain Head, - terrific rustic pub with good food- and over the coast path to Beer where we bought fresh fish & crab. Location is great as a chill out zone without being completely isolated. Time stands still here, allowing you to breathe in the ozone fuelled air and knock the brain out of gear and just vegetate!! Good craft beers & food found locally, what more do you really want? Will be returning for more mental & physical punishment!!!!

Our favourite place

Branscombe has been a part of our family for generations. It's such a privilege to be able to stay on the beach in a wonderful chalet. Everything we needed was in the chalet, the weather was fantastic. The service was excellent. I cannot fault anything.

Gorgeous chalet in a fabulous location!

Really enjoyed our stay in your Branscombe chalet - we wanted to stay looking at that view from the veranda forever! The chalet was nicely styled with a clever use of space. Lots of thoughtful touches to make you feel at home, including milk and bread on arrival, useful local information, books and dvds and a little pair of binoculars for boat and bird watching! A totally relaxing, peaceful, 'at one with nature and the landscape' week! Just perfect! Thank you!

An exceptional property in an idyllic spot

It very much lived up to our expectations. The property was really well equipped and maintained to a very high standard. We felt at home immediately.The setting was superb being so close to the sea and yet retaining complete privacy. There were some lovely walks along the coast and inland and a Dog- friendly hostelry - the Masons Arms in Branscombe. I would certainly recommend it to my friends.

Cosy accommodation . Fabulous location!

The chalet was clean , warm and comfortable. We have been coming to Branscombe for over25 years and have owned one of the beach chalets for a few years . So it was wonderful to come back and stay on the beach again and be reminded how special a place it is. The chalet had everything you need for a relaxing holiday . The seashanty restaurant is very handy and we particularly like being able to walk to the Masons Arms pub in the evening for supper . As we know the area well we tend to avoid using the car and just walk locally . The walk over the cliffs to Beer is always a favourite ..and the fish and chips very good!

Wonderful in every way!

Absolutely amazing property! It looks good in the pictures and doesn’t disappoint in reality. Stunning location and really well appointed. There was plenty of hot water, a decent shower and all in all it was very warm and comfortable. The kitchen is also well equipped if you are planning to self cater. We did a picturesque (if strenuous!) walk over the cliff tops to Beer and also ate a lovely Sunday lunch at the Masons Arms in Branscombe. I cannot recommend the location and property highly enough. I will definitely return.

fabulous beach "hideaway"!!

We love Branscombe having holiday'd on the "other" cliff for many years.... It was so nice to be back. So nice to wake up and and to go to sleep to the sound of waves. So lovely to walk the dog along an empty beach at 7 in the morning and for the kids to be in the sea before everyone else and after everyone else. Fantastic location, fantastic chalet. We LOVED it!

As close to the beach as you can get!

This is a charming wooden chalet perched just above the beach at Branscombe - in fact, at high tide the view is such that it feels as if you are afloat! A few tips: Branscombe doesn't have a shop for provisions, so in view of the narrow roads in and out of the village, it's a good idea to stock up on the way. If you need a depressing reminder of everyday life, then there is a new large Tesco at Seaton. If you are keen walkers, then the coastal paths from Branscombe are wonderful. There are a number of ways over to Beer, and I would recommend investing in the locally produced large-scale walk/cycle map (available in the Sea Shanty shop). Our best day was a glorious walk to Sidmouth (well worth a visit) - only around 6 miles, but lots of height gain and loss, with the most incredible views throughout. There is a bus back to Branscombe (the last one currently leaves at 5.05pm - check up to date times).

Breathtaking

We went down for our anniversary for a quiet and relaxing weekend. The chalet was lovely. Had everything you needed. I mean everything. The views were incredible. The sound of the ocean waves as you fall asleep and wake is just stunning. The sea shanty was lovely. Staff were very friendly. Food was good. The booking of the holiday was a breeze. Great communication with the owners. Will be returning.

Stunning location

I already knew that this chalet was situated in one of the most beautiful locations in Devon but I was also pleasantly surprised by the size and standard of the accomodation, which was roomy, comfortable and charming. Being able to stay this close to the sea is a truly unique and memorable experience.

Wonderful place by the sea

We had a fantastic 5 days at snipe chalet on Branscombe beach. The sun shone and the waves broke. Days were filled with walks along the sea shore, swims, hill climbing and evening trips for light refreshments in Branscombe itself.
