Charming Bungalow with wonderful countryside views.
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.

Great location
Very quiet and private location even though it’s next to the owners property. Stunning countryside view and some great dogs walks from the doorstep. Nice welcoming biscuits and tea coffee and milk on arrival. The cottage is a little tired in places but felt comfortable and the dogs were very secure in the garden. An enjoyable 4 days with excellent communication with the owner. Thank you.

Hawkern cottage
We have just returned from a week at this fabulous property ran by Claire and her husband, it was well equipped and Claire was very helpful and friendly. We loved the view from the patio and both said how lovely and quiet it was, we got lucky with the weather and there’s lots of walks from the property so we didn’t have to use the car much at all.

Fabulously chilled stay
Cottage is in the owner’s house grounds but very private & quiet. Claire was very welcoming & helpful about the local area. Kitchen was extremely well equipped, beds very comfortable & overall a lovely stay. The village is a short walk & I can recommend the community shop, the mill and the pub. All in all can be thoroughly recommended.

Excellent self-catering bungalow
The bungalow was ideal for us - very clean, well-appointed, comfortable and convenient. Claire was very helpful when we arrived - she and her husband live in Hawkern House alongside. She was always available but allowed us our privacy. Views from the house are lovely and the patio and lawn area were very pleasant. There are good walks to the SW Coast Path from the house and it was very convenient for our small dog. We stayed 7 nights and visited lots of nice places nearby and found a good variety of places to eat.

Last minute booking
We had a very enjoyable few days at Hawkern Cottage, staying near to Exmouth as I was playing cricket there during the week.
Claire looked after us extremely well and the views from the property were amazing.

Chill Out
Second time I have stayed here and just as peaceful and relaxing as the last. Short walks and long walks for all. We had 4 dogs and they enjoyed it as much as we did. With the Mill and pub a short walk away just perfect for us.

Lovely cottage with beautiful countryside views
We enjoyed a lovely week and the cottage suited us perfectly. We loved the dog walks directly from the house and enjoyed the sunny garden with which had great views. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked most evenings. Great communication with our host. Many thanks!
