About this property

Nestling in the picturesque village of Uplyme near Lyme Regis in Dorset, is this well-maintained and spacious holiday bungalow, Strathaven. The perfect holiday home for families and groups travelling together, Strathaven rests in delightful and extensive gardens which offer a peaceful sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of holiday life. The interior is just as enticing as the outside with a warm and welcoming sitting room inviting visitors in with elevated views a particular focal point of the room. The kitchen/diner offers an attractive space in which to spend time with the kitchen itself fully fitted with everything needed to cater for your party’s culinary needs and an elegant dining area overlooking the stunning gardens. There are a number of choices for where to eat from the informal breakfast bar to the more formal dining table as well as outside on the patio which has impressive views over the gardens and beyond. Wherever you choose to eat, there is no doubt that many happy hours will be spent enjoying eating, drinking and spending time together. When bedtime calls, guests can select from whichever bedroom suits - a king-size, a twin or a single; all are stylishly presented and provide rewarding views over the beautifully maintained gardens. Exploring Dorset couldn’t be easier from Strathaven, with the unspoilt village of Uplyme within a short walk and delightful Lyme Regis just a few miles away where you can find a great range of shops, bars, boutiques and restaurants, a museum, aquarium, harbour, causeway and beach. Jump in the car for a scenic car journey to any one of a number of family attractions such as Beer Quarry Caves, Seaton tramway, Pecorama, Jurassic Fun Centre and Tunnel Tree Tops. Strathaven offers visitors the ultimate holiday haven.

The beautiful countryside surrounding the village of Uplyme, on the borders of Devon and Dorset, is a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, criss-crossed by bridleways and footpaths including the East Devon Way, and providing perfect country walks and superb views. The area was chosen by TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall for his River Cottage HQ at Park Farm, where you can treat yourself to a great meal. Just a short drive takes you to the stunning Jurassic Coast at Lyme Regis. This delightful historic seaside town boasts a maze of narrow streets, with an interesting array of shops and cafes, whilst the sandy beach lends itself to great bathing and watersports, and the bustling little harbour offers regular fishing trips, or try your hand at fossil hunting. Within an easy drive is the quaint town of Axminster, or how about a ride on the Seaton Tramway? A glorious location for a varied and interesting holiday.

    We loved it. The only slight problem was with the lock on the door. The key would not turn when the door was shut and the handle pushed up ( as it needs to be to lock the door). I persevered, and worked out how to make it lock. The door needs to be pushed or pulled, once it is shut, ( depending on if you are inside or outside) until you here a slight “click” from the door. Then the key can be turned fully and the door is locked. A bit of a faff. But worth noting for other people who use the property. Or get the lock looked at as someone might break the key in the lock, or not lock it!
