Lovely property which holds lots of family history to us as it was the house that my Grandad built. My Mum was also born in this house so it was lovely to be able to stay here, following my Mum's passing, when we finally caught up with family in the area. Disappointing that The Masons Arms was closed, but this did not spoil our visit. Lots to see and do, with the beach only a 10 minute walk away. The walk from Branscombe to Beer was sometimes challenging, but well worth the effort. The walk from Beer to Seaton was easier and we then caught the bus back to Branscombe. The property itself was very spacious, accommodating 8 adults and two under 2's.

A lovely family home with plenty of space. Equipped with everything you would require on a family break. We took food but if you require a supermarket, the nearest one is Seaton about a 10 minute drive away. There is a lovely pub called The Masons Arms but you need to book well in advance if you require a table inside. Outside tables are issued on a first come basis,and there is outdoor heaters if you think you may get cold. We did eat outside and the food and service was good. Would recommend. The only downside to staying at Hamilton House is the parking. You have to park outside the property in quite a small road and the House next door is rented out, so if 2 cars need to park, it would be very tight. Luckily for us the house was not occupied. The house is just a 10 minute walk to the pebble beach which has a café and tables to sit at. There are also lovely walks to take from here along the coastal path. From Branscombe you can easily drive to Lyme Regis, Sidmouth and Seaton. If you go to Seaton there is the lovely tram ride to take, which if the weather is good, is worth to do. We had mixed weather, but still managed to enjoy our stay.

Housekeeping service The property was clean and tidy on arrival. The house keeper responded quickly to our call about the fire /smoke alarms not working properly. She also addressed the issue of the child's high chair, which was not serviceable on arrival. She replaced this very quickly with a new chair. We had the following issues with the property: high chair not suitable for a child fire smoke alarms not working No oven gloves No hand towels provided for individual toilets - we could have brought extra with us if we knew. No toilet rush in upstairs toilet Microwave was very difficult to understand DVDs we would expect a small range of interesting films - sadly none Wifi code - it would be useful to leave some clear instructions on this Tin foil none provided Scissors were found in garden Bed linen was very basic, it could do with an upgrade. We enjoyed our family holiday and the location was great. Found the garden was hard work with small children. Many thanks.
