Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
If you have submitted a review for a holiday rental property, we may also ask that you provide us with proof of your stay to ensure that your review is attached to the correct rental property.
Holiday rental reviews collected via the VRBO website (formerly Homeaway) and syndicated to the Tripadvisor website are not currently subject to Tripadvisor’s standard moderation processes.

Fantastic hideaway !
I stayed here, with my dog, the first week in December for my birthday.
This is a truly magical place where you can hear the sea 24/7, & the views from every window are absolutely stunning.
The owner, Jim, was very helpful too - nothing was too much trouble.
I truly didn't want to leave, & I will be returning as soon & as often as possible !
Beachcombers is very cosy and has everything you could possibly need at any time of the year.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful gem of a place

Amazing views
The 161 steps down to the cottage are a bit daunting but the location of the cottage at the bottom of the cliff make the walk well worth it. Reaching it is one of those WOW moments as you are right on the beach with views of the sea from every window.
The luggage comes down on a hoist so no need to worry about struggling down with it.
The cottage was equipped with everything we needed and was spotless and newly decorated with a seaside theme. Outside was a decked area where you can enjoy meals and drinks right down by the sea you feel so privileged to be there.
TIP Take food for at least 3 days as you won't want to leave this idyllic place

paradise
from arriving to leaving we can not rate this place enough, It is our new favourite place.. It was a steep walk down but definitely worth every step. Jim met us at the top to help with the luggage ( we didn't pack light but was no problem) luggage went down in a winch as we walked down. every step took our breath away.
Beachcomber was stunning very cozy but not to small, all essentials were there making self catering very easy equipped with a fridge and freezer which was great as we took enough food for 3 days so we didn't have to go anywhere.
The sea was so calming and so close we just sat, watched and dreamed. Its heaven our dogs had the best holiday ever to. we will be back for sure .. Thank you Jim and Nina

A privilege to stay here
This is a very unique place to stay and it's quite a privilege to spend time here, you cannot get any closer to the sea. Listening to the changing tides, seagulls and watching the clouds and seascape change by the minute was a fantastic experience. Drop your 21st century stresses and strains as you take the steps down the cliff and go with the flow, by the end of the week you will be sad to leave. Travel light is the best advice, it's an adventure getting there and you'll leave fitter than you arrived but you cannot fail to be charmed by this special place.

Thank you for taking the time to share this lovely review with us all, we are delighted that you enjoyed your holiday at Beachcomber's Cottage. It certainly sounds like a unique experience to be able to switch off from modern life and enjoy the moment, and of course the sea! We certainly hope that you return for another stay the next time you wish to escape modern life.

Unique and relaxing location
A great little place to have a holiday with your dog
We took our two staffis who were able to run off the lead on the dog friendly beach.
The owners met us on the top of cliff and took our luggage down on a winch.
Great idea.
The cottage is comfortable and warm, the owners friendly but inconspicuous.
Lying in bed we could hear the waves crashing close below at high tide.
A very special place

This place is paradise by the sea
Quite a steep climb up and down the cliff but well worth it once you get to the cottage. Simply a wonderful location so near the sea. All the while i was there i could do nothing but gaze out of the window at the tide coming in and going out. You can always hear the sea even when the tide goes out, you are so close you could almost touch it from the window! Ideal for excercising your dog or yourself along the beach. The kitchen is well equiped to cook dinner every night as long as you take your own food. The owner lives next door and is very helpful and friendly. He will meet you at the top of the cliff and take your luggage down on a winch. There is a co-op 2 miles away in Millbrook to get provisions. Good weather is preferable but even when it rains and is stormy it's nice to watch the sea. Had a brilliant time there.

This location cannot be beaten!
The car has to be left at the top of the cliff, & the cliff path down requires strenuous effort but
boy is it worth it! Right by the best sandy beach in the area with the sea lapping beneath the windows at high tide.The cottage is next to the owners take away cafe & living quarters, but still remains private as the entrance is round the side of the building.There is a picnic table & sitting out area overlooking the beach too, where we took all our meals.The cottage is cosy & very clean, with sea views from all windows.The owner Jim is on hand if needed but not intrusive & Nina's fish pie is very tasty! We were extremely lucky with the weather which makes such a difference to this kind of holiday.
I wouldn't recommend this as a base for touring the area, simply because of the cliff climb but others are probably fitter than me & prepared to try.
All in all, wonderful place to stay for a relaxing holiday-maybe I should have kept it secret!
