Discover the Charm of Beer and Durham House
​
The picturesque village of Beer is nestled on the stunning World Heritage Jurassic Coast, making it an ideal destination for a relaxing holiday or weekend escape. Renowned for its historic quarried stone—used in iconic buildings such as Exeter Cathedral and St. Paul’s Cathedral—Beer is steeped in history and coastal charm.
​
Durham House itself features a beautiful Beer stone façade and retains many character features typical of the late Victorian era. From the grand lobby and arched doorways to stained glass windows and intricate Minton tile flooring, every corner reflects the elegance of a bygone era.
​
Conveniently located in the heart of the village, our bed and breakfast is just a 3-minute walk from the beach, South West Coast Path, and a selection of welcoming pubs, restaurants, and cafés.
