"Fantastic place to stay and the family are really welcoming and make us feel really comfortable there,we've been going there for the last few years and we've already booked for next year and we can't wait."
-
"First and foremost, a big thank you to Jane who works so hard to present such a great place to stay."
From the moment you turn into the immaculately kept long drive you can see the attention given this peaceful holiday home (apart from the occasional 'mooing' of the cows

"Lovely cottage with many extras we dont normally accept Very tastefully furnidshes"
-
"Owls Roost is a lovely farmhouse property situated on a working farm."
It was spacious, comfortable and well equipped. The views of the surrounding countryside were glorious. It is an excellent situation for visiting the North Devon and Somerset area. The owner, Jayne was very friendly and helpful. We can highly recommend Owls Roost. We did not see the owl but we did hear it.
-
"Was a perfect stay for the family including a baby and 3 year old."
Fantastic location with easy access to the coast.
-
"Owls’s Roost was ideal for our three generations."
We loved being able to use the hot tub and the children delighted in playing in the garden searching for the rabbits that occasionally appeared. The central location allowed us easy access to many of N. Devon’s attractions. To top it all, the weather was glorious! We would happily return.
-
"This property was well equipped, but there were none of the usual ‘extras’ e."
G. tinfoil, cling film, basic cooking seasonings, sugar, tea etc. No welcome pack or message from the owner and no information on how to use equipment (heating, oven etc). The owner when approached was not very friendly. We arrived on a particularly cold/wet July day and the property was cold and it was not easy to find how to put any heating on to take the chill off and dry things.
-
"Owls Roost is a roomy ,well equipped property where a warm welcome was provided and every need catered for."
It is situated in the countryside on a working farm ,with beautiful rural views which were appreciated whether sitting on the deck enjoying an early morning cuppa, or watching the evening sun set. The property was spotlessly clean and had ample parking for the 3 cars our family brought and also a garden in which to relax or play. A suitable base for families or groups of friends who wish to experience what North Devon has to offer.
-
"Paul and myself have stayed at Owls Roost twice now and have found it home from home."
The first time our daughter Michelle came with us and enjoyed the close proximity to the coastal paths. Jayne who looks after the cottage is very helpful and the property is very well equipped and comfortable. The views from the decking are amazing. The only thing that in our opinion would improve the holiday would be a smart television for evening viewing as Netflix members it would have been good to watch films and series.
-
"Great find my second visit and not my last"
-
"I can’t recommend the Owls Roost highly enough, it’s so cosy, warm and comfy."
It’s so well equipped with everything you need for a pleasant stay. Jane and Keith are so friendly and welcoming. We loved everything about our stay and would love to return some day. Thanks for a very memorable stay

The shower needs doing in the down stairs double bedroom because it doesn't work well you can't get an even heat on it and the smell of the bedding needs changing not a nice smell but otherwise ok
-
"Absolutely loved this property!"
The best equipped we’ve ever rented, everything we’d hoped for and brilliant for the children! Even though the weather was grim we had a truly lovely family holiday!!
-
"Home from home!"
A beautiful property which was perfect for our stay with 4 adults. That was the 2nd time we’d stayed at this property and it won’t be the last! X
-
"This is without doubt the best accommodation we have ever stayed in - beautiful"
-
"The property is perfect and very well equipped for the 6 adults we had in our party with more than sufficient crockery, space etc."
The terrace was lovely to sit on admiring the rolling countryside and distant sea views. The garden also with space to play badminton and have a barbeque was excellent. The hot tub too was kept spotlessly clean. Jane, our host, was available if needed and a considerable help when one of our party was taken ill on arrival. Good idea to phone Jane in advance for the more specific directions as the cottage name 'Owls Roost' was not signposted. An excellent stay and we would highly recommend for a quiet relaxing break but still within easy drive of beaches, towns etc
-
"An amazing location, with amazing views from the living areas and raised decking."
Sofas and beds were very comfy and the kitchen was very well equipped. We all had a wonderful holiday - plenty of things to do for all ages! Downstairs shower door (double bedded) was not easy to open when coming out and the fan in the other bedroom became noisy towards the end of our stay.
-
"Amazing accomadation, so comfortable, exceptionally clean and well equipt."
Jayne and family excellent hosts , friendly and very welcoming. We can highly recommend this cottage to every one.The best accommodation we have ever stayed in. We will definitely be returning. We couldn't have wanted a better place to stay.
-
"A lovely cottage, extremely comfortable, a helpful and friendly host, we enjoyed our stay here"
-
"We had a really lovely weekend at Owls Roost."
The set up of the property was lovely. A real luxury having en suite bathrooms for every bedroom. The pressure of the shower was a little low for us but the bathrooms were spacious, modern and clean. Just a short drive to Combe Martin was perfect and easy access to the coastal path made for some lovely walks. We would definitely recommend.
-
"The property is spacious, comfortable and generously equipped, in a rural working farm location perfect for exploring North Devon."
The beds provided a very relaxing nights sleep. The only downside we noted, was the size of the provided bath towels, which we thought were on the small side.
-
"A beautifully equipped holiday home."
We had a wonderful week.
-
"Excellent cottage - a real home from home."
All essentials for a successful holiday are supplied. a good location & the hot tub is a real bonus.
-

-
"Could do with a sign at the end of driveway saying Owls Roost as we ended up in the opposite farm."
Absolutely gorgeous place very cosy. Beautiful views and excellent hot tub.
-
"Beautiful, comfortable property in superb condition throughout with all mod cons."
Three good bedrooms each with its own bath or shower room so ideal for sharing with good friends. Situated on a working farm in glorious countryside but with good access to the North Devon coast and local towns and attractions. The hot tub and shower in a separate room across the yard is an attractive facility. Very welcoming, friendly hosts and, all together, a most enjoyable holiday.

"We had a great stay at owls Roost is a fabulous place to stay Beautiful out look on the landscape."

-
"Owls Roost was the perfect getaway for us with our two grown up daughters and their partners."
A glorious location, quiet and secluded but within easy reach of Coombe Martin and the surrounding area. Spotlessly clean (and our standards are high!) and everything provided. Three generously sized double bedrooms each with their own en-suite. Attention to detail was faultless and the benefit of having the owner on site and taking obvious pride in accommodating their guests, made this the perfect stay for us. The outside balcony sitting area provided the idyllic setting for enjoying the glorious sunshine and breathtaking sunsets. The hot-tub also a welcome treat!
-
"The property and location were perfect!"
The condition and cleanliness outstanding! The peace and tranquility was devine! The owners were welcoming. friendly and very accommodating. Our only negative was having to leave and go back home after a ‘much needed’ break. We will be back as soon as we can.
-

"I made this booking initially through VRBO / AirBNB and paid £160 fee only then for this stay to be directed to you and pay the cost of the rental , I felt misled although you may say you copuld have booked through us first I dont see where paying customers should be penalised by owners advertising in numerous areas and not been clear in the actual rental arrangement ."
The property was excellent
-
"It was absolutely wonderful."

-
"The cottage is in a lovely location and was of a very high standard, it had lovely views, plenty of wildlife and friendly owners, who made us feel most welcome, without being intrusive."
The hot tub was a bonus, very welcome and soothing after a particularly strenuous walk. There are plenty of walks not far from the cottage and it was lovely to sit out on the verandah after a day out, watching the sun set. The lovely sandy stretch of Woolacombe Beach is just a short ride away, and the surrounding countryside was breathtaking. A very relaxing and enjoyable break. We would stay here again at the drop of a hat, Thank you
-
"Well sighted on the edge of Exmoor and not too far from Coombe Martin and surrounded by beautiful views"
-

"Owner ‘Jane’ really helpful and friendly."
Very relaxing and lovely location.
-
"We all loved the house, beds were comfy, plenty of room for 6 of us, there tended to be lots of flies but it is a farm."
The outside patio is lovely to sit outside for meals if the weather permits.The only negative for us was we took our bikes but the roads are not suitable very narrow only wide enough for a car, and pray no one is coming the other way.The lady who who owned it was very nice.
-
"The cottage and setting was absolutely beautiful!"
Very spacious with everything you need for your stay. Couldn’t fault it one bit. Thank you for a lovely stay!
-
"The owls roost is a fab place."
The beds are comfy, facilities are great as each bedroom has en suite and a lovely layout and unique. The owner is really nice and lovely. She didn’t even mind my 20month old running up and down making loads of noise. We will definitely return again at some point.
-
"Felt very comfortable at Owl's Roost."
The hot tub was the perfect temperature and a real hit for our girls. Although the weather didn't permit us to go our and about much, this was no problem as Owl's Roost is the perfect setting cor a cosy night in with extra heaters in the dining room and sitting room. The bathrooms were nicely decorated and spotlessly clean! Normally I take disinfectant wipes to wipe over the surfaces etc but really didn't have the need as this place was so clean. One thing which surprised me was that the Guest Book dated back to 1979! The owners are obviously dab-hands at what they do! I will highly recommend this place to my friends and family.
-
"Everything was perfect from initial booking all the way through to leaving."
The owner greeted us with a beautiful home baked cake and scones, jam and clotted cream, 2 vases of flowers plus 2 bottles of wine! Absolutely heavenly place to stay. Loved it.
-
"Fantastic accommodation and value for money."
Everything was of the highest standard. Beds extremely comfortable. Will definitely book again
-
"This property is off the beaten track and does not match postcode provided."
You need to arrive in day light! Our journey took 8 hours instead of 4 and if it weren’t for the lovely host coming out in her car to find us, I truly believe we would have spent the first night in our car!! Beautiful house on a working farm. Lovely attention to detail. Lovely, friendly host.
-
"As usual the house is always very clean and everything you need for a self catering holiday."

-
"Fantastic stay at Owls Roost with my Husband and Children 24th - 31st May."
The cottage was amazing very clean, well equipped and comfortable. The location was great with fabulous views. Owners friendly and helpful. Our only suggestions would be a blackout blinds or curtains in the master bedroom and some pasta bowls in in the kitchen but this is just preference.

"Owls Roost is a beautifully clean & well presented holiday home."
Everything there that is needed and so peacefully quiet. Would thoroughly recommend it & hopefully will get back at some point. Easily accessible for Woolacombe & Ilfracombe. If you go into Coombe Martin & want lunch try the Pack of Cards. Excellent food, service & staff very friendly.
-
"Perfect location, peaceful and surrounded by lovely countryside, just the odd wiff of a farmyard smell, but to be expected for a working farm, and a small price to pay for such a lovely place."
-

Very well equipped with everything you would need for a short break. Good clear information on how to find the property. Very relaxing we will be back

"My wife and I have used the venue twice before, but our 4 guests hadn't and we all enjoyed the property and its facilities."
Everything was thought of and provided. We were very much left alone to enjoy our stay, but Jayne was very obliging when we needed help, and her family and staff were happy and amenable as we encountered them.

The property
This smart cottage attached to an ancient farmhouse is two miles from Combe Martin village and three miles from the great beach.
With an upside down layout and traditional Devon farm location, it is a peaceful, relaxing cottage for families or friends.
From the hall with practical slate floor, you head up the stairs to your sitting room, a cosy place with electric fire for watching TV or the glimpse of the sea.
Prepare and enjoy meals in the proper country style kitchen with dining table and glass doors to a balcony, from which you can get down to the garden.
The upstairs double bedroom is a romantic place for couples to chill out, with its en suite bathroom with a bath made for two.
You will find the other two bedrooms downstairs, both with handy en suite too.
Outside the star feature is a hot tub in an adapted barn, big enough for five people to soak in after a long country walk, and complete with changing room with shower and furniture for eating outdoors.
Enjoy games or a good book in the generous lawn garden with barbecue.
This is a lovely uncrowded coastline to enjoy.
The beach at Combe Martin is sheltered and you can safely swim or hire kayaks here, and maybe even catch a thrilling glimpse of dolphins.
Bring your buckets because to either side of the beach are fabulous rock pools.
The village has all you need in the form of shops and pubs, as well as a wildlife park, or walk the Coast Path to interesting Lynmouth and the funicular railway.
Woolacombe and Saunton have all the sand and surf you could wish for, or head to Ilfracombe where you can board a boat to Lundy Island.
Owls Roost is a very special place, loved by the farming family owners, and the friendly atmosphere is wonderful.
Note: This property has a Good Housekeeping bond of £100.
