Description
Hartgrove Farm Bungalow is located on Trinity Hill in East Devon, an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty bordering the county of Dorset and the nearby town of Lyme Regis. Sleeping up to 9 guests, this wonderful property is cleverly configured as 2 separate dwellings making this a wonderful option for two families or groups of friends wishing to share holiday experiences together. Set within its own grounds on a working farm, this is a delightful rural location with popular beaches, the seaside towns of Lyme Regis and Seaton and the dramatic UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast all just a short car ride away.
Finished to an exceptional standard throughout, both cottages are individually styled with open-plan living areas, fully equipped kitchens, and dining areas. With underfloor heating throughout, the cottages are positioned around an expansive garden and have bi-folding doors which lead out to the sociable patio space, where the large table and chairs create the perfect spot for coming together and enjoying the most tranquil of settings.
The first of the two cottages is a bright and spacious home with high vaulted ceilings and exposed timbers, feature lighting and tasteful furnishings. The two bedrooms offer flexible sleeping options with a spacious king-size bedroom and a twin room, which can be made up as a super-king. The stylish bathroom has a bath, with a shower over giving you a choice between an evening dip in the tub or a quick steamy rinse.
The second is finished with the same consideration for guests’ comfort with a delightful seating area, vaulted ceilings, and an impressive wood-burning stove. The two bedrooms can sleep up to five guests, with the first bedroom, a family room having a both king-size bed and a single bed. The second bedroom is also a spacious king-size.
Outside, the garden is dotted with beautiful trees, shrubs and cottage-style planting with extensive lawns and patio seating areas where alfresco dining can be enjoyed. Please make time to say hello to Jamie the sheep.
The Trinity Hill Nature Reserve offers beautiful woodland walks with a variety of forest tracks to explore plus areas of open heathland dedicated to wildlife. Home to River Cottage, the Kitchen & Store is a perfect spot to drop by for breakfast or drinks and cakes. River Cottage, renowned for the TV series offers a range of dining experiences tucked amongst the rolling Devon countryside. When it comes to days out, the nearby coastal resort of Lyme Regis offers something for everyone. The family-friendly beaches are popular with bathers and water sports enthusiasts or those preferring more leisurely days why not take a stroll around the famous Cobb harbour, the iconic backdrop to many films and TV adaptations? You will also find a superb choice of restaurants and pubs plus a good selection of independent shops and galleries. The pretty fishing village of Beer is another great choice with its limestone cliffs and beach, where it is easy to lose a few hours sitting in a deckchair watching the local fishermen hauling their catches ashore.
Hartgrove Farm Bungalow is the ultimate location for friends and families looking for a holiday to remember.

What guests are saying
The houses are both spotlessly clean and the beds very comfy.
We struggled with a lack of storage facilities in both the kitchens and bedrooms. The kitchens only have base units which are full of the items provided by the host - everything you can think of has been provided but there isn't any space to put any of your own food items which means things are piled up on the worktops which isn't ideal. The biggest gripe is that both kitchens only have an under counter fridge each with a tiny box freezer. Not an issue if you plan on eating out a lot but for a large family who planned on cooking a lot, and who did a big shop before arriving, it was very disappointing. For a property that size that sleeps that many people, there is more than enough space for a full size fridge freezer in each. It meant we had to keep food and drinks in cool boxes for the duration of our two week stay. One of the properties has double wardrobes in both bedrooms but the other only has a single wardrobe in each - we found there wasn't enough space for our things which was frustrating. Again the property is enormous - there is more than enough space for some more furniture. There is a toy box with toys and jigsaws which our children appreciated. They also had a ride on the tractor and looked at the farm animals. There is plenty of space outside for the kids to play. The area is beautiful for walks and trips to the beaches nearby (Lyme, Charmouth, Seaton and Beer). We also expected Sykes to clean the property given we were there for two weeks but that didn't happen. We did receive clean bedding and towels after a week after raising the issue but we were expected to strip and change the beds ourselves. Again very disappointing given the price of the property.
Although we had a rather unpleasant experience with the outside of the property on arrival this was rectified by the property owner within 24 hours!
The bungalows were perfect for our family group of 6 adults and 2 young children. We would have preferred more storage space in the bedrooms but overall we enjoyed our stay. The bungalows are situated in a good location to enable you to explore the lovely Jurassic coastline. Although the weather could have been kinder to us this did not hinder our very enjoyable days and evenings out in Devon/Dorset. We would certainly recommend to any large family group especially if you need some occasional family space during your holiday.
This is a lovely property that is very clean, well appointed and airy, in a beautiful, secluded location that is still very handy for Lyme Regis and River Cottage restaurant.
There is plenty of information on how to use the appliances, nice deep baths, and lots of games to play if the weather turns. We found the WiFi a bit patchy though at times (generally good), and found it difficult to control the temperature of the underfloor heating in the twin bedroom, which became too hot overnight for comfort. These were minor issues though from a wonderful stay - thanks.
