Hill View is snucked away in the rolling hills of Devon, only a short drive from the quiet fishing village of Beer and the beaches of the Jurassic coast. This 300 year old dairy has been given a new lease of life as a fantastic large group holiday house sleeping 16 in 7 bedrooms. There’s a games room and a spa hall for exclusive use throughout your stay. Inside is light and airy with gorgeous quirky interiors that blend rustic, contemporary and industrial style to perfection -like the secret door in the timber clad wall at the end of the kitchen and the worktop on the central island inlaid with two pence pieces – we love it!
Step into the porch and on the right there’s a utility room with a washing machine and dryer, handy for when you come back from a windswept walk along the beach and need to hang up your wet coats. Straight ahead is the huge open plan living space with huge sofas to one end and a double-sided wood-burner to bring a warm glow to chillier days and nights. A handcrafted dining table seats you all for happy family meals and celebration feasts, and then there’s the kitchen, very stylish and very well-equipped. This is such a sociable space, somewhere you can all be together, to catch up and enjoy big happy times.
Bedrooms 1-3 are off the dining area, all sleeping 2 in zip and link beds. Bedroom 1 has a bath with an overhead shower, Bedrooms 2 and 3 both have an ensuite shower room. Bedrooms 4-7 are through the ‘secret’ door at the end of the kitchen; Bedrooms 4 and 5 both have ensuite shower rooms, Bedroom 6 uses the bathroom that’s directly opposite and has a modern free-standing slipper bath, and Bedroom 7 is access friendly with an ensuite wet room. All Bedrooms at Hill View have zip and link beds that can be arranged as super kings or twins; the whole of the ground floor is wheelchair accessible with even floors throughout.
Outside on the terrace there’s garden furniture and a barbecue, just across the yard there’s an enormous games room with a kitchen area, comfy seating and a 3-in-1 games table for pool, table tennis and air hockey. Next to it is the star of the show – the spa hall, where exclusively yours for the whole of your stay are a heated pool and a ground level hot tub; just outside there’s a barrel sauna with the most incredible views across the valley. It’s like a slice of heaven in Devon!
