About this property
Charming Bungalow with countryside views, close to the South West Coast Path.
Hawkern Cottage is situated on the outskirts of the charming, picture postcard village of Otterton, which is between Sidmouth and Budleigh Salterton. The property enjoys uninterrupted countryside views and is a haven for anyone who enjoys walking. It is only a 10 minute walk to the South West Coast Path where you can explore the numerous coastal and countryside walks. There are also plenty of beaches to nearby and Exeter City Centre is only a 30 minute drive.
The cottage comprises of one double bedroom, one twin bedded room, a bathroom, small utility and an open plan kitchen,dining area and sitting room. There are patio doors from the sitting area which open onto a terrace and garden.
The village of Otterton has its own Working Mill which has a restaurant, craft shop and fresh bakery in addition to the local village pub.
Facilities in the Area: Otterton is close by to Woodbury Golf and Country Club which is open to non-members and Exmouth boasts an Indoor Tennis centre which has 6 courts. Bicton Gardens is only a few minutes drive from Hawkern and the Regency town of Sidmouth is a 10 minute drive away.
Otterton is an ideal position as Dartmoor, Torbay, Lyme Regis (great for fossil hunting with the children), Exeter Cathedral Town are all easily accessible which makes plenty of day trips out for the family.
If you simple want a base for walking or relaxing on the beach, again you couldn't ask for a better location.

About the host
Hosted by Claire Mills
Tony and I have lived at Hawkern House since 2003 having moved from South Devon. . When we bought the property the old stable had been converted into a Bungalow which is now Hawkern Cottage. It has its own private garden and parking area. The cottage is close to our main house which means I am on hand to meet and help my guests as best I can.
Why they chose this property
We choose Hawkern because of its peaceful location and wonderful countryside views and it has the benefit of only being a 10 minute walk to the South West coastal path. A week in low season is £475, Mid Season £695 with high season being £895. It can also be rented out for a minimum of 2 nights at a cost £150 per night.
What makes this property unique
Its unique benefit is its close proximity to many country walks and is only a 10 minute walk into the village. We also allow well behaved dogs.
