Happy Beer Regatta to everyone - the village's party week - bunting will be up & there's something for everyone everyone this week. Look out for scarecrows through the village. Dinghy Regatta today. Firework finale at the end of the week. Beer knows how to Regatta & party ❤

The rain after a month's sunshine is making the countryside inland so green. Lovely walks along the River Coly, the forest at Morganhayes and at Blackbery Camp. You can stormwatch the big seas that we've been having from the beach and cliffs or head inland for a sheltered walk and a pint at one of the inventive covered garden areas that have popped up at our local pubs.

It might not be as warm as we would all like but the countryside & welcome in East Devon is as warm as ever. Kephalo is booked until October but we are happy to take bookings with a small deposit for next year so you can be sure to catch the glorious bluebells at Blackbery.

13/04/2021

The sun is out & we finally have our first guests staying for 2021at Kephalo. So pleased to be welcoming guests again for much needed holidays in beautiful Beer. The house & garden are ready for a busy summer - we're delighted to be fully booked until October

Autumn down here can be lovely, Christmas & New Year are fun, Spring is very pretty - sadly most of the daffs have already gone over, it's beautiful when they are out along with snowdrops & then the primroses, & of course we are very happy to take bookings for next Summer.

Enjoy the sun everyone.

25/02/2021

We were still able to receive guests this time last year - we had a surprise birthday tea to host for a guest a year ago today. We so look forward to being able to welcome guests & provide treats again. Roll on April & fingers crossed that it will be safe then for everyone for guests to be able to return to lovely Beer & the Jurassic Coast. Cottage details are on Classic Cottages website or you can pm us.

No snow on the East Devon coast today - sunshine quickly melted away the overnight dusting. Walked west of Branscombe today, off to the west of Beer, a quieter section of the South West Coast Path but just as beautiful with views back to Dorset and on towards Start Point off to the south west. Cows still out enjoying the sun. Pigs enjoying the mud.

We are delighted to have taken another peak week summer booking today - just the week beginning 27th August (which includes August Bank Holiday) is left during school hols. Good off peak availability remains from late Spring onwards when we have fingers crossed that we can welcome guests again.

If you have any queries about Kephalo, cosy home-from-home holiday cottage, in the heart of Beer, East Devon, sleeps 7 + cot, parking for 2 cars (sorry no dogs) - do get in touch.

We wish you a good week - Nichola & Alan.

Explored inland from Kephalo & Beer today. Found wonderful views back to the coast and off to the east and north from the top of Musbury Castle - a great walk with views for miles. Plenty of wonderful coastal and inland walks in East Devon, Dorset and Somerset within easy reach of Kephalo. We look forward to welcoming guests back to Kephalo when safe to do so. If you would like more details about the home-from-home cosy cottage that sleeps 7 in Beer do pm us. Meanwhile, keep safe. 🌞🌈🌞

12/01/2021

Enjoying the beautiful East Devon coast at Beer & Axmouth Harbour and during lockdown. Kephalo is sadly closed to guests but is being Spring cleaned and the garden is being refreshed in time for when we can welcome guests back. Keep safe everyone - we look forward to welcoming you back when safe to do so. 🌞🌈🌞

Happy New Year from beautiful Beer on the Jurassic Coast, East Devon. A gorgeous day to end a challenging year. We wish all our guests & friends a Happy New Year and look forward to being able to welcome you back to Kephalo & Beer in 2021. Daffodils are coming out - Spring is coming 😁❤🥂❤🥂❤😁.

29/12/2020

Christmas in Beer was wall-to-wall sunshine - hope that you had a good Christmas too. We were delighted to decorate Kephalo to provide a cosy Christmas bolt hole for friends.

We send Christmas & New Year greetings to all our Kephalo friends & look forward to hopefully being able to welcome you back to Beer & East Devon in 2021.

Spring is springing down here - daffodils out in Branscombe - looking forward to warm, sunny days .....

05/11/2020

First day of lockdown 2.

So sorry that we can't currently welcome guests to Kephalo to share the beautiful coast in this gorgeous weather. We will be open to guests again as soon as possible and will be decorating for Christmas & New Year. Got to think positive.

Keep safe and well and hope to be able to welcome you down to Kephalo and Beer again very soon.

Meanwhile we send you sunshine from the Jurassic coast. 🌈🌞🌈

It's another lovely weekend in Beer - but still no guests allowed at Kephalo sadly.

We've been enjoying our lovely beaches and cliff walks during lockdown so we're sharing our favourites with you today.

Kephalo is ready for visitors - both active & those who just want peace & quiet & sometime out.

Very pleased to discuss flexible bookings with you. Keep safe & we look forward to welcoming you soon ❤

Kephalo can sleep 7 + cot, parking for 2 cars (steep, narrow drive so we can't accommodate a Ferrari!), bright spacious kitchen, dining, sitting room with wood burner, conservatory & summer house - total of 5 sofas for comfortable lounging ! Downstairs double bedroom & shower room with easy access. Two double & a single bedrooms upstairs with family bathroom. Utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer & drinks fridge 😁. Hillside, terraced garden - lower courtyard & raised lawn, middle deck level with table & bbq, top enclosed lawn & summer house. Lower level shed for buggies, boards, bikes & bins. We hope that we have provided all that you need for a great break.- we're only 5 minutes away so can help with any queries, issues straight away. We love holidays - we want you to love your holiday too.

We are child friendly but have made the decision for a number of reasons not to accept dogs - sorry.

PM us for more details - Nichola & Alan

For those following our battle with the brambles - hoorah - we seem to be winning! A lovely lavender bed instead of the tough old brambles - they put up a good fight.

The lavenders should thrive in their sun soaked south facing bed and give guests a pretty & fragrant addition to enjoy in the garden ❤.

17/06/2020

Thunder & rain forecast today- not over Beer Bay though!

We're painted, planted, scrubbed & ready for guests. Need a break in glorious Beer on the gorgeous Jueassic coast? We have availability for 7 people plus cot at Kephalo - happy to chat about availability, cost & the measures we have in place to keep you safe.

Happy to send pictures & details.

Beer looks forward to being able to welcome guests safely ❤. We look forward to welcoming you to Kephalo ❤🌞❤.

05/06/2020

The gorgeous sun & now a drop of rain is bringing the garden at Kephalo on nicely.

We still have to tackle the big bed now that we have got rid of the brambles - still contemplating but think that a lavender based mix might be good. The new lavenders in the top raised bed are doing well. The rambling rose in the top lawn bed is very happy now that it has been trained & the sweet pea is busily climbing up it - just waiting for the first flower - what colour will it be?

Meanwhile we have two bookings for Kephalo in July - all fingers crossed that we can safely welcome those guests. We're rolling forward deposits if visits cannot be made in July & for bookings made with us we're not taking final payments until 7 days before arrival.

We sleep 7 in home-from-home comfort (plus cot), child (but sadly not dog) friendly, 5 mins walk from beach and parking for 2 cars - lots of pictures on previous posts. Reviews and more details on Classic Cottage's website.

If you would like an escape to Kephalo Beer and the East Devon Jurassic Coast do get in touch.

Wishing you all a happy weekend - Nichola & Alan.

25/05/2020

A lovely bank holiday weekend down here on the coast. Gorgeous weather & the sea warm enough for a first dip 😨. Quite a few visitors well spaced along the beaches & everyone being sensible, safe & happy.

Delighted to have used the weekend to finally get the long promised lavender bed completed along the top terrace at Kephalo - it's looking great & hopefully low maintenance 🙂.

If you fancy a break down here we have space in July - sleeps 7, parking for 2 cars, terraced garden with summer house to escape to & just 5 mins walk from the beach. Very much hope to be welcoming guests from the beginning of July.

Wishing you a good week with continued good weather 🙂🌈🌞🌈🙂.

25/05/2020

A little bit of 'normal' down here. Boats out on the water - including Alan taking out the Sailing club's safety boat for a spin (first time since October) and he took this lovely shot of the beach.

Confidence is growing in inviting guests back to the village - we are taking bookings alongside others from early July - taking a deposit & rolling this forward if necessary & only taking final payment a week before arrival & again if anything happens this can be rolled forward or returned.

Beer & East Devon are looking beautiful and we look forward to sharing it safely with guests.

17/05/2020

Another day of beautiful sunshine on the Jurassic coast. With lockdown lifting very cautiously it's good that the coast can be enjoyed now by a few more people. A few day visitors today in Beer, Branscombe & Seaton but everyone is being sensible & giving each other space.

Branscombe was look Iooking gorgeous this morning on our amble over from Beer - the calves & lambs are growing fast. Now we just need a take out cider from the Fountain Head or Mason's Arms & our Sunday's will be almost back to normal !

Happy Sunday everyone 🌈❤🌈

14/05/2020

The fierce wind has gone & we're warming up nicely. A day of completing a lovely Devon puzzle - to check the quality before despatch to Kephalo - and a walk at Salcombe Regis with lovely views back to Beer Head & out over Sidmouth & on towards Budleigh Salterton.

East Devon is looking lovely; we're looking after it in readiness for when it's safe to visit. We're taking bookings at Kephalo for July onwards & rolling forward deposits if you can't get here & only taking final payment a week before arrival. Looking forward to welcoming guests when it's safe to do so.

Keep safe & hope to be able to welcome guests to Kephalo & Beer soon. ❤🌈❤

11/05/2020

Another lovely day downhere in East Devon - feels very odd though as the wind is blowing the wrong way so trees are bending towards the sea!

The lovely weather has allowed the decorating & gardening at Kephalo to continue - garden extension & conservatory nearly repainted, roses & sweet pea trained up the fence and lavender bed has been started. Really hoping that we'll all be safe enough to welcome guests later this summer - all will be clean & fresh for you if you can make it down.

We are taking bookings for this summer on the basis that the 25% deposit is rolled forward if coronavirus means that you can't come & final payment will only have to be taken 1 week before your arrival date.

If it's not safe then no visits to Kephalo & Beer, if it is safe we will be ready & able to welcome you.

Keep safe & we wish you all a good week 🌈❤🌈

08/05/2020

Kephalo all dressed up for VE Day - celebrations for all that we have & remembering & thanking those that provided it for us 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤🇬🇧❤🇬🇧❤🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧. Wishing everyone a happy VE Day & looking forward to welcoming people to Beer & East Devon when it's safe to do so.

29/04/2020

The rain is back for a second day - but the garden needs it & Mr Burley is quite pleased to have a break from decorating the conservatory & deep cleaning the 5 sofas!

The weather has been gorgeous & has been enjoyed by the lambs up on Beer Head - we're sharing a rather sweet video of happy lambs up on the cliffs at sunset to wish you all well & hope to see you soon. ❤ Keep safe. ❤

12/04/2020

Happy Easter to all our Kephalo Holiday Cottage friends - hoping that you're safe & able to enjoy this gorgeous weather.

Beer & Kephalo are very quiet - I'm in the Summer House (we only live 5 mins away so can pop over to check the house & garden on our daily exercise outing) - there's just
birdsong, occasional chatter between gardens & the distant shush of the sea.

The first burst of Spring has faded away, daffodils gone & camellia fading - we'll get on now with summer bedding - should all be done by now but there's sadly no rush.

We'll post pictures of work in progress so you can have a virtual chill in the Summer House, on the terrace or down in the courtyard.

Really wish we could be welcoming you to Kephalo & Beer, but stay put, stay safe & we look forward to welcoming you back when we can.

Keep safe - Nichola & Alan

Kephalo - home-from-home holiday cottage in glorious Beer, East Devon

Welcome to Kephalo, Beer, our much loved family home where we have had 25 years of fun which, for various reasons, we are now able to make available for others to enjoy as a base for enjoying Beer, East Devon, Dorset and the glorious Jurassic Coast.

Kephalo is set up to provide home-from-home comfort for up to 7 guests plus a cot - we want guests to have as much comfort and fun staying in the house as we have done. We only live 5 minutes away so we are on hand to keep her ship shape, have everything just right for each guests stay and we are around to answer any questions or queries.

We opened to our first guests at the end of December 2018 and we are loving providing a super comfy holiday home. Our first guests set the standard with a first meal of fish and chips washed down with champagne!

We have kitted Kephalo out with super comfy beds, we welcome guests with a surprise tastey treat, we provide books on the local area to guide you and there are 5 of the comfiest sofas around (lounge, conservatory and summer house - so space for everyone to have space). There is now the bathroom, kitchen and wood burner that we always wanted! There's parking for two cars, a huge advantage in the busy summer months - the drive is narrow & a bit steep but it can accommodate most cars. There's a 3 tier garden with bbq terrace and gated areas to contain toddlers - we love having children to stay - stair gates, high chair, pop up stools, plastic cutlery, mini furniture, toys and books, etc provided.
