Lovely place to stay in a superb location. Very well equipped accommodation with many thoughtful touches. Only problem was a mechanical/whirring sound that went on intermittently through the night .. no idea where it came from but did disturb sleep a little. Otherwise really good accommodation thank you

Our 4-night stay at the Sail Loft was absolutely wonderful. Situated less than 5 minutes from the beach and a similar time to pubs and restuarants. The cottage is without doubt, the best equipped place we have ever rented. Very comfortable and furnished with good quality fittings. The bed was also very comfortable too. Excellent communications with the owner as well. We'll certainly be back and can highly recommend a stay.

The Sail Loft was well appointed with all the necessary equipment. We did have a problem with the fridge in that the door sometimes wouldn't close properly.The balcony was a bonus as a lovely sunny spot in the afternoons.All in all we found it a pleasant place to stay for our week in Beer.
