This Arts and Crafts house with child-friendly facilities on the edge of Beer village is a great choice for cheap family holidays and school trips. For an activity break, try mackerel fishing and safe sea swimming at the nearby beach or for a real Jurassic coast holiday: fossil hunting. For walking holidays there's the nearby the South West Coastal Path.

The Youth Hostel is located on the stunningly beautiful Jurassic coast, now listed as a world heritage site. It’s great for geology, rock pools and fossil hunting walking and photography. The hostel has private grounds for you to explore and a rich quarry history, populated with local legends about smugglers and pirates.
