  Elaine, the host was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable about the local area, and took time to make sure we were settling in, and her welcome biscuits were delicious! The cottage is lovely - extremely clean, comfortable and has all the facilities you need for a stay in the country. It's in a great location for exploring Exmoor and the local villages and towns. Thank you so much Elaine - will definitely return in 2024!

  Sheltered, private garden - a real sun trap whilst we were there - to enjoy the BBQ. A real joy to visit the many coastal towns in North Devon - scones in The Greenhouse, Lynton , are second to none!

  Thank you for your comments. So pleased you enjoyed the 'sun-trap'! It certainly is. Not tried the scones at 'The green house' Will have to. Regards to you both. Property Owner

  Elaine took our girls three times to feed the sheep which really made their holiday extra special! The dog had his own field to let off steam every morning. The home was superb. Literally only improvement would be for a more comfortable mattress in the double bed. Otherwise the home and Holiday was faultless.

• "We had a lovely week at Owl’s Nest."

  Elaine was the perfect host and made us feel very welcome, even ensuring everything was ok on the 2nd day (braving the rain!). The cottage is well equipped and they seem to have thought of everything! The garden is well enclosed but there is no direct access from the house which may be a problem for those with dogs for letting them out particularly if they have wandering tendencies! All in all it’s a lovely base for a beautiful part of the country and we would definitely recommend.

  Thank you for your feedback, we are glad you enjoyed your stay at our property. We are aware of the garden access and currently trying to find a work around for this. Again we are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again soon. Property Owner

  Cottage is very private, old with lots of character, high standard modern kitchen/ bathroom etc. Good walks from the cottage and short drive to Exmoor moors. Local town has great market place for local food, crafts, antiques. Location is perfect for exploring the amazing beaches, many have huge dog walking areas all year. So many beautiful places within 45mins drive of Owl’s Nest including Lorna Doone Valley and Valley of the Rocks as our favourites. Absolutely recommend Owls Nest and would consider rebooking.

  Elaine and Michael were so kind and welcoming allowing our 15 year old daughter to help bottle feed Hector the lamb and even taking her out to the top fields to meet the other sheep! We were greeted with homemade cake and tea which was lovely after rather a long 'Bank holiday' type journey! There are lots of places to visit within a 45 minute drive and the accommodation is perfect for dog owners. The kitchen is perfectly equipped and there is a private garden (accessed to the left of the front door, not from within the property itself) backing onto fields of sheep and perfect for a BBQ. The beds were comfy and the cottage was super clean with homely touches. We left feeling relaxed and recharged and can't believe we have never explored this little corner of England before now. If you want a lovely 2 bedroomed cottage to do the same, don't hesitate in booking this little gem!
