Situated in a leafy lane on the outskirts of the village of Hawkchurch is the Fairwater Head which sits within two acres of mature gardens. Only 5 miles from Lyme Regis and the Jurassic coast, it is the perfect base from which to discover the coastline and countryside in this area of natural outstanding beauty. The entrance is via the Edwardian house which leads to the two storey East Wing bedrooms.
