About this property
South Glebe is a lovely, three-bedroom holiday home located in the pretty Devon village of Hawkchurch. A great pet-friendly option for a group or family of six, South Glebe is located between the three AONBs (Blackdown Hills, East Devon, and Dorset) and enjoys expansive views of the surrounding countryside.
The home has three off-road parking spaces, and a generous hedged garden where you can enjoy family meals alfresco. Be welcomed into the kitchen/diner, where you can conjure up your best dishes, ready to enjoy with your loved ones around the dining table for six. Plush seating in the sitting room, a feature fireplace, and a Smart TV make it the ideal space for relaxing with loved ones after an adventure filled day. A convenient cloakroom and utility space round off the ground floor. Upstairs, you'll discover three tastefully decorated bedrooms: a king-size with a TV and an en suite shower room, a double overlooking the garden, and a twin room and family bathroom.
In the morning, why not savour your morning coffee in the conservatory whilst you make plans for the days ahead. Discover the charming village of Hawkchurch, known as 'The Village of Roses', complete with thatched houses, a church, the popular Old Inn for a family dinner, and a convenient village shop for all your essentials. Lambert's Castle and Coney's Castle, located on the outskirts of the village, are both beautiful National Trust sites with breath-taking vistas. Head into the popular seaside town of Lyme Regis with its family-friendly beach and the famous Cobb Harbour. Learn about the history of the area at the Lyme Regis Museum or try your hand at fossil hunting at fossil beach and Charmouth Beach.
Dine out in style at one of the area's many restaurants, such as The Tytherleigh Arms, Robin Wylde, Lilac, or the seafood-focused Hix's Fish and Oyster House. The South West Coastal Footpath is waiting to be explored by the adventurers in your group; it provides access to countless miles of trails with stunning views of the Jurassic Coast and surrounding countryside. South Glebe has everything you're looking for a memorable holiday in this special part of the Jurassic Coast.
The settlement of Hawkchurch may be found in Devon, England, roughly six miles south of Somerset and three miles north-northeast of Axminster, close to the boundary between the counties of Devon and Dorset. Located north of the popular seaside resort of Lyme Regis, this is an excellent fishing and vacation spot. The village shop in Hawkchurch is a cooperative enterprise. The Old Inn, the local watering hole since 1543, is a replica of a classic English coaching inn. One of Devon's loveliest small towns, nearby Axminster is home to a plethora of unique stores, a monthly farmers' market, and some of the state's finest historic inns, including one that dates back a century and is said to be haunted. Lyme Regis, a popular seaside destination, is home to numerous art galleries, specialty stores, and restaurants. Lyme Bay, with its gentle shelving dunes and clear waves, is the ideal spot to unwind after a day of exploring the stunning Jurassic coast, which can be accessed by the coastal path. Hawkchurch is a convenient base from which to explore the rest of Dorset and Devon at any time of year.

It's in a great spot and close to lots of walks, the Jurassic coast and a great little local village pub. As mentioned in previous reviews, the bed mattresses are not very comfortable and the metal bed frames creak when you move, they let down what is otherwise an excellent level of facilities throughout the rest of the cottage. One of the nicest cottages we have stayed in.

It was clean and tidy and the welcome basket (including dog treats) was lovely! The pub where we ate most nights was a 2 minute walk and the staff are very friendly. Itâs a very quiet spot where you can go just to relax, not too far in the car to the sea. If Iâm being picky I agree with the other reviews that the metal beds and mattresses are uncomfortable and all 5 of us didnât sleep that well, but we really did love the cottage itself.

The only quibble is that the entrance to the driveway is extremely tight.
