An unexpected pleasure. This museum was delightful and interesting and the staff and volunteers gave visitors their time and help very generously.

June 2018

This was an amazing museum to visit -and you can try your hand at lace making --- highly recommended visit for all ages. A gem of a place...

June 2017

Tasty ploughman's sharing platter. Not keen on fact that another table had a dog on their lap. Think this should have been discouraged.

August 2023

Cream tea was AMAZING!! beautiful surroundings, quality of food and drink is second to none. High speed charging station for EV was an added bonus!!

July 2021

A lovely family day out at a very reasonable price. Our Grandchildren loved it! Although we loved all the animals, the only slight disappointment was not being able to see all the cats and dogs without a prior appointment with an intention to adopt.

April 2019

Disappointing visit, not made to feel welcome so cancel our lunch booking for the following day. So many other pubs to choose locally

May 2023

We attempted to eat here on 3 separate occasions , either it was too early or the chef had gone home?? Gave up

July 2022

Very good food and very reasonably priced and staff were friendly,

June 2021

Delicious burgers and chips were delivered to where we were staying - can't ask for more than that!

August 2020

We visited several times and had a great welcome on each occasion. Good choice of beers and excellent food. The beer garden is great, especially if you have a dog as it's lawned.

July 2020

Good friendly local pub in the centre of Hemyock. Separate dining area, but can also eat in the bar area, where dogs are allowed. The food was of a good standard, and the service was efficient and friendly.

June 2019

We enjoyed a delicious meal in the Catherine Wheel. Very friendly staff and cosy atmosphere.

November 2018

Very friendly, welcoming, helpful staff. We had a lovely family meal recently, good portion sizes & lovely quality food. Good value for money, had 20% off food when we visited too. Very child & dog friendly. Would visit again in the future.

October 2020

Very accommodating. Allowed a table of 8 and two dogs at short notice. Generous portions and great food

April 2019

Lovely welcoming pub, food was very good.

July 2018

Extremely friendly and family orientated pub. Good homemade food and puddings are yummy. Good value.

June 2018

Friendly welcoming staff. Had one meal here which was excellent quality and good value for money.

October 2017

Gorgeous pub, unfortunately due to bad weather we were the only people eating until another 4 people arrived for a meal. Lovely food.

April 2023

Excellent food and warm and friendly staff, happy to chat and talk to us about the area. Highly recommend.

July 2018

Wonderful welcoming pub - the food is absolutely delicious and plenty of it. The owners are friendly and helpful and dogs are most welcome. Highly recommended!

June 2018

Gorgeous views from garden. Excellent take away fish and chips on a Friday evening. Sat in and very disappointed with the standard of food especially for price. We had burgers and they offered a curry relish which just infused everything. Chips and onion rings greasy and tasteless as was the homemade burger. Real shame.

June 2018

Lovely walk along the seafront and excellent cafe at the end of it. Dog friendly and excellent food.

April 2024

In our view one of the most picturesque sea sides in Britain. Not too much commercialism. A good walk up Jacobs Ladder, the gardens are great for the horticulturalists. The beach is a mix of shingle and sand. There is plenty of beach to wander up and down, and you can get away from crowded areas which are more to the town.

June 2022

Nice seaside resort, lovely walk along seafront with the dog & very tasty lunch at the Coast cafe bar, very friendly staff & lovely food. We travelled to Seaton on the tram, very pleasant journey & we spent nice afternoon at Seaton.

October 2020

Stunning views, clear blue sea and an amazing beach side cafe!

August 2020

Very nice

July 2018

Lovely and clean,

July 2018

Nice place for a seaside stroll, we were a bit disappointed that bikes aren't allowed on the paths and that there are dog restrictions. Pebbly beach so no good for sand castles but we had a nice few hours and lunch and ice cream from one of the nearby cafes.

October 2017

We visited on a rainy day but this quaint little seaside village never changes! Enjoyed a coffee in the Dolphin Hotel, dog friendly

August 2023

Absolutely delightful spot

July 2022

Lovely, clean beach. Quiet but with great catering facilities. Fantastic

September 2021

We walked here from Seaton . Beer is a very pretty place worth a visit

July 2021

Beautiful!! Nice quiet with a well kept beach, plenty of places to eat and drink and relax!!

July 2021

A lovely place to spend the day. Good cafes right on the beach, plenty of other places to eat in town and great views.

June 2019

Idyllic

July 2018

Absolutely lovely so clean and tidy. Food and drink catered for very well three beach cafes. Fishing trips, hire of boats self drive if you wish, what more could you wish for.

July 2018

Lovely beach at any time but especially lively on festival day. We appreciated the walkways over the pebbles.

June 2018

Beer is a very pretty village!, and the beach is an absolute joy

September 2017

Visited one evening. A beautiful beach. You can walk to Seaton on the coast path, if you feel energetic and don't mind a lot of steps. Well worth it due to the stunning views.

May 2017

Lovely place for a dog walk along the beach. Such a pity that the sea is eroding the cliffs around here.

April 2024

Attractive beach, good energetic coast path walking.

October 2023

Beautiful Beach with stunning walks in both directions on coastal path. Sea shanty cafe modernised since our last visit. Lovely cream teas!

July 2023

The beach was within walking distance of where we were staying. Excellent for dogs and the sea shanty sells dog icecream

June 2023

Beach clean and has pebbles rather than a sandy beach. Fabulous food found at the Sea Shanty Cafe with sea view and stunning views of the Jurassic coast line.

August 2022

gorgeous beach - we canoed and swam a lot

September 2021

Lovely beach

September 2021

Clean pebble beach. Good facilities cafe shop and toilets. Nice and quiet when we went in july. Lovely walks nearby

July 2021

One of the few beaches we found that had some sand on it, although it also had lots of stones too of course, and dogs were welcome. The option to sit on a grass area next to the beach was a bonus too. I had a swim in the sea whilst there which was lovely.

June 2021

Lovely area but the only place you could get a coffee etc was the Sea Shanty and it was closed half term week!!!!! As the Sea Shanty and the Old Bakery were closed all week for me it let Branscombe down.

February 2020

We loved walking to beach fro Branscombe. If you follow the signs and walk on the road to the beach its quite hilly so take the footpath from behind the cottages opposite the Masons Arms, its a nice flat walk to the beach, easy to follow.

January 2020

Superb beach and surroundings. Tricky drive to get there but well worth it.

June 2018

A pretty place down narrow lanes - the village is a must for keen photographers too - loved it!

September 2017

Very pleasant

July 2018

lovely beach

July 2018

Visited twice and both times had a pleasant walk along the prom in the sun. Sea very calm. Lovely cup of coffee served from little coffee "bar" on prom served by a charming and coffee knowledgeable American lady. Pleasant and busy shopping area behind the prom. Not much parking and just a little expensive.

June 2018

A very lovely beach if you like stones! But great when the tide is right out and you can fossil hunting.

October 2023

My dog Luna and I really enjoy walking and playing ball along the beach keeping eyes down to see if we can find a fossil!!! very clean and looked after Love it!!!

June 2022

Stunning, quiet and picture perfect ideal place to relax and paint ?

November 2021

Stayed here in The Little Sea House right on the beach. Amazing sunrises. Beautiful and peaceful but tricky to walk on in places.

October 2021

We had a lovely holiday staying in the little sea house. Perfect location on the beach. Was very warm & cosy inside. Was generally clean on arrival but think it could do a intensive deep clean occasionally to clean racks /hard to reach places ( plug holes) but this did not effect our stay ( I’m just bit OCD with cleaning) I would recommend this to anyone wanting a relaxing tranquil break. Also the out hours staff from toadhall cottages were very helpful. Would book again

May 2021

Just beautiful

September 2020

Great for fossil hunting and dog friendly!
