Hill View - Accommodation
Hill View is tucked away in the rolling hills of East Devon, on the edge of a peaceful hamlet not far from the little fishing village of Beer. Drive through the high-hedged lanes, pull into the yard and park up.
This 300 year old former dairy has seen an amazing transformation; it’s going to knock your socks off the minute you step inside! Go into the light and airy hallway and on the right there’s a utility room with laundry facilities; here’s where you hang your coats and dry off the dogs when you’ve been for a muddy walk in the country.
Go through to the enormous living space and the wow factor really kicks in. A polished concrete floor, original stone walls and brick work, exposed steel supports and chunky timbers, plus underfloor heating - a style that's carried on throughout the house. In the lounge area sofas entice you to put your feet up, a double-sided wood-burner provides a thoughtful partition in the centre of this vast room.
Next is the dining area with a big rustic table, made especially for Hill View. Then there's the kitchen, where the look is parred back contemporary with a few quirks thrown in, like the worktop of the central island - inlaid with 2p pieces, all heads up except for 3, so there's a bit of fun for a rainy day - find the tails! The back wall is clad with bare wood - a striking feature, and it even has a secret door! The kitchen is well-equipped for cooking for a large group, but there’s always the option of hiring one of our recommended caterers (see Extras) – a good idea if you’re here celebrating a big birthday or a significant anniversary.
Off the dining area steps lead to a small landing and to Bedrooms 1 to 3. All beds at Hill View are zip and link (super king or twin); Bedroom 3 has room for an extra guest bed (charged). Bedroom 1 is off to the right and has an ensuite bathroom with a shower over the bath; Bedrooms 2 and 3 both have ensuite shower rooms.
To get to the other bedrooms you go through the secret door at the far end of the kitchen; steps take you up to Bedrooms 4-6. Round to the right is Bedroom 4 with ensuite shower facilities and room for an extra guest bed (charged). At the front of the house, overlooking the lane is Bedroom 5 with an ensuite shower room, and Bedroom 6, which has a bathroom directly opposite with a free-standing modern slipper bath. At the bottom of the steps, just left of the secret door is Bedroom 7, an access friendly room with an ensuite wet room.
Outside there's a patio for alfresco dining. In a separate building just across the yard is the spa hall, a striking space with a heated pool and ground level hot tub. Next to it is the games room where a 3-in-1 games table means you can play pool, air hockey or table tennis. Just outside the spa hall, the barrel sauna has fantastic views over the fields and hills. Hill View is the perfect place to enjoy the luxury of being together; make it all yours for a holiday or short break. Book today!
