Beer nestles on the World Heritage Jurassic Coastline. It is famous for its quarried stone that has been used in many historic buildings such as Exeter and St Paul's Cathedrals.
Durham House is built with a Beer stone facade and retains a wealth of character features typical of the late Victorian era, including a splendid lobby, hallway with arched doorways, stained glass and Minton flooring.
