Hawkchurch Resort And Spa

"We had such a great family stay! Not many lodges can fit 8 people comfortably. If they ever offer a bigger one, wed definitely come back again for sure."

"The lodges are lovely and perfect if you have a car to explore around easily. Wed return!"

"We had such a lovely break, super relaxing and the scenery was breathtaking. The lodge was cosy, spotless and really well kept. Love it!"

"Perfect getaway, would recommend to all"

"Our Hawkchurch Resort And Spa review: Really enjoyed the experience, looking forward to returning once everything's fully open!"

"We had such a good time, were already planning to return!"

"We had a fantastic five days, mostly sunny and the place was perfect for relaxing and exploring."

"We had a lovely weekend away! The lodge was spot on for what we wanted, super tidy and the furniture was really nice quality. Only tiny gripe - the frying pan could do with a new one. Still, overall, a great stay!"

"Lodge was pretty lovely, just a bit worn out."

"We've been visiting Hawkchurch quite a few times over the years and always enjoy our stay. This trip, the only downside was the lodge - it was pretty noisy. The floorboards creaked in multiple spots, the fridge freezer was loud and one of the beds made an annoying squeak. Were definitely coming back, but next time, well request a different lodge for sure. Still a lovely place!"

"We had a great time and definitely plan to come back soon, highly recommend to everyone!"

"Honestly, we had a fantastic stay here. The lodges were spotless and so comfy, way beyond what we expected. Everything was tidy and they even left towels, dishwasher tabs, shampoo and hand soap for us-really thoughtful touches. We loved the place so much, were already planning to return. Wouldve happily paid more for it!"

"Really enjoyed the stay, will definitely come back!"

"Really comfy and has all I need"

"The menu at the on-site restaurant was a bit confusing regarding gluten-free choices. Luckily, The Old Inn in Hawkchurch offers a much better selection."

"Nice spot for a quick getaway, ideal for exploring local sights."

"Great stay, always clean and well looked after."

"Great atmosphere, friendly staff and good food."

"We loved our stay at Darwins Resort! The Coleridge Premier room was spacious and spotless, with all the essentials. Ezina Spa was such a peaceful retreat and Elles massage was absolutely fantastic. Cant wait to come back again soon!"

"Really enjoyed it, highly recommend."

"Looking forward to our next visit!"

"We had our first stay at this lodge recently and honestly, were already planning to come back. The place really exceeded our expectations - the cleanliness, the comfy rooms and how well equipped everything was. Its quiet and spaced out nicely, so you dont feel cramped at all. Our 90-year-old relative found the shower super easy to use, which was a big plus. Plus, having a TV in every room meant he could relax comfortably. The locations pretty handy too - close to the coast and perfect for spotting local flora and fauna, even in October. And those three steps up to the lodge? Just right, not a hassle at all. Well definitely recommend it to friends!"

"Really enjoyed our stay, the lodge was spotless and had all the little essentials."

"We had a really lovely stay and definitely enjoyed ourselves. The place was super comfy and the facilities were spot-on. The staff were friendly and always willing to help, which made everything easier. Only downside was I didnt get the eco bag I wanted because reception had closed by then!"

"The lodge itself is stunning, really well decorated. We loved the hot tub, but its a shame we couldnt use it during certain times for cleaning. Still, pretty great stay!"

"We had a lovely stay at the lodge. It was really spacious and comfy and any small issues with the facilities were sorted out quickly. The only thing was the low, deep sofas which werent ideal for older visitors."

"Really enjoyed our stay, lovely park with top-notch facilities and a superb place to stay."

"Wonderful relaxing holiday, lodge very clean well equipped and the view was amazing, will definitely visit again ?"

"We had a really lovely time at Hawkchurch. The views from our lodge were awesome and the location - although quite remote - is good for visiting places like Lyme Regis (15-20 minute drive) Seaton (20 minute drive) and Sidmouth (30 minute drive). Our lodge - a Hardy lodge - was well equipped and clean. I used the spa pool once - it is small, but nice for a little escape and ‘me’ time for an hour. The restaurant was good with good food, although I think they were perhaps a little short staffed when we visited meaning service was a little slow. Still, though, would recommend. We hope to return!"

"Great holiday, I liked that the site was quite after day of exploring local beaches and towns. Staff couldn't do enough. Reception staff gave a amazing welcome and first impression."

"Thoroughly enjoyed the week"

"10 out of 10 all the way. Receptionist called me to say the lodge was ready before 4pm, which would have been handy to know if we had arrived early and were killing time. When we did arrive we were greeted by friendly staff, check in was straight forward. The lodge was really spacious, a home from home. Well actually better than my home ?. Very comfortable super king sized bed. Every where was very clean, smelt clean and fresh when we walked in. Everything you could possibly need in the kitchen, including a wine cooler, very important! On site facilities were excellent, small shop next to reception for necessities and a few luxuries and gifts. We ate in the restaurant the day we arrived, staff very friendly and efficient, food lovely and well priced. They had a Wurzells tribute act on in the evening which was good fun. Didn't use the gym or spa, prices were about average for treatments. The hydro-therapy pool, sauna and steam rooms were excellent though. The site itself was very well maintained, staff always busy doing something."

"Our check in time should have been 4pm on our arrival. I received a call on Sunday evening to say that our lodge would be available from 12pm if we wanted to arrive earlier. We had planned on arriving early anyway on the off chance it would be available earlier so this was good to know that it was confirmed. I chose this resort as I had been to a previous Darwin Escapes resort in Cornwall and I was very impressed with that site. This site was exactly the same. On arrival we went to reception and was greeted by a friendly member of staff. She gave us a map and showed us where we were located on the site. The lodge was open and our keys were on the side. Again in a little metal suitcase which you get to keep. Another nice touch that is consistent across their sites. The lodge was spotlessly clean. The tea, coffee, milk, cleaning items and toiletries provided are great to keep you going until you go to the local shops. Inside the lodge was huge for the two of us. We stayed in a Hardy Lodge (pet free) no. 73. It was at the bottom of the site and overlooked trees and fields. I though it was in a great position. There was a room with a king-size bed and a huge ensuite with double walk in shower. There was also a twin room and a separate bathroom with a bath and a shower. Both bedrooms had TV's on the wall, and the main also had a alarm clock with Bluetooth speaker. The decking to the rear of the lodge had a table with 4 chairs. Great for sitting out to eat or just chill. The only negative is the flooring within the lodge. I had seen some reviews where people had mentioned the squeaky floorboards. I didn't think this would be a problem but the whole lodge squeaked where ever you walked. This was quite loud as well so trying to go to the toilet in the middle of the night quietly was a no go as this echoed throughout the lodge. Probably wouldn't put me off going again but this is definitely something that needs to be looked at. We didn't use any of the facilities as we spent most of our time out in the neighbouring areas. Lyme Regis is a short drive away with a nice beach. Seaton is also not far away either. If you are driving to Seaton and want to park on the beachfront remember to have some cash with you for parking as they do not accept card payments. A little further out is Sidmouth which is also a nice little seaside town. If you plan to spend a lot of time on the site and you have children then this site is probably not for you as there are no facilities for them. This is more for adults looking for a nice relaxing break. If you only want to use it as a base to explore the area in great accommodation, then this is perfect. Would I go back - definitely."

"We had a fantastic holiday. The resort was amazing and the lodge was spacious and one of the best we have been to. We were sad that we did not book a longer trip. We will definitely return and book a longer vacation next time."

"Lovely place, very spacious lodge which was spotlessly clean. Plenty of dogs so very dog friendly. Hydro pool was ok but not all the functions were working."

"Really enjoyed our stay at Hawkchurch Resort. The lodge was gorgeous and felt like a home from home. The site was very calm and peaceful. The only thing that would've made it even better was if there was something to entertain the children, even a little play area would have been great. Unfortunately the weather wasn't great during our stay so it was more difficult to keep the children entertained. Would highly recommend though!"

"Excellent venue, helpful staff and fantastically clean property. It was comfortable and a perfect base for our weekend away."

"The resort was so lovely, well maintained and peaceful. The lodge was better than I anticipated especially being one suitable for dogs. Well equipped, nice touches with the dishwasher tablets, the tin the key was stored in and the soaps etc. The hot tub was a god send- the maintenance guys check on it twice per day. Definitely recommend Hawkchurch resort for a recharging break. The spa was reasonably priced and worth a visit"

"Overall amazing, everything was just perfect. Would highly recommend. I Will be going back in the future."

"Hawkchurch is a lovely resort. More aimed at adults though as no facilities really for children. It could do with a games room! Lovely rural location which was ideal for dog walks and runs. Spa is lovely and quiet."

"Really enjoyed our stay. Staff were fabulous and very friendly. The lodge was very clean and well equipped kitchen was great. Would gladly recommend The resort."
