Hook Farm Cottage

About this property

Hook Farm Cottage is a bright and spacious cottage situated in the village of Uplyme, close to the Devon/Dorset border. A designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and near the popular UNESCO Jurassic Coast, this cottage is ideally suited for those keen to explore all that the area has to offer. Perfectly suited for couples or families, Hook Farm Cottage is a bright and spacious three-bedroom bungalow, with a contemporary interior. Set in an elevated position the cottage enjoys far reaching views from the lounge and the bedrooms, overlooking the village of Uplyme and the Devon countryside beyond. The lounge is tastefully furnished and is the perfect spot for sitting back and relaxing, maybe watching the TV or catching up on a good book. The sleek, well-fitted kitchen/diner is situated at the rear of the cottage which overlooks the garden, and when it comes to mealtimes, there is a family dining table in the kitchen; alternatively, the south facing garden is the perfect spot for dining alfresco and enjoying the tranquil location. The bedrooms, two king-sizes and a twin, are all stylish and comfortably furnished for a restful night’s sleep. The family bathroom, another smart and well-thought-out room, is also located on this floor. When it comes to the area, the village of Uplyme is only a short walk away and has a popular village pub, The Talbot Arms, a small convenience store, and a village church. Guests are also welcome to use the facilities at the neighbouring campsite including food events and a well-stocked shop with fresh bakery which is open during the main season (please check opening times during your stay). Enjoy delightful and picturesque riverside walks from Uplyme to Lyme Regis, a spectacular seaside town with its family-friendly beaches, famous cobb harbour and other popular visitor attractions including the Marine Aquarium. Other popular days out include the Donkey Sanctuary at Sidmouth or The Heritage Coast centre at Charmouth, a place to learn about the area’s diverse geological history and pick up tips about fossil hunting on the shores. Hook Farm Cottage is the ideal location for a holiday the whole family can enjoy.

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.
