Tucked into the Axe Valley on the Devon–Dorset border, Hawkchurch Resort & Spa is a luxury holiday lodge destination designed for proper downtime—spa sessions, a hydrotherapy pool, and relaxed dining on site, with the Jurassic Coast within easy reach. Hawkchurch Resort & Spa is pet-friendly (restrictions apply) and suits everything from quiet couples’ weekends to family escapes, with stylish lodges that feel like a genuine home-from-home. If you want a countryside base with an on-site wellness focus, it’s an easy one to shortlist.
Life at Hawkchurch Resort & Spa tends to revolve around the simple luxuries: a swim and sauna, a treatment when you fancy it, then a slow evening meal and a drink without needing to drive anywhere. The setting is peaceful and green, with space for walks straight from the resort and plenty of classic days out nearby.
You’re well placed for both sides of the area—Axminster for shops and services, and the Jurassic Coast for beaches, harbours and coastal paths around Lyme Regis, Charmouth and Seaton.
Expect an easy, “switch-off” rhythm—morning walks, spa time, and unhurried afternoons on the terrace before heading out for a coastal stroll or a pub meal nearby. It’s the sort of resort where you can keep weekends simple, or use it as a comfortable base for exploring a new part of the South West.
