• "We had a wonderful stay at Owls Roost, Beautiful scenery and accommodation."

  The weather was perfect so we could enjoy sitting out on the decking with a glass of wine. Jayne the perfect host is at hand if needed. When we arrived Jayne had a lovely cream tea waiting for us which I must say was delicious. Would certainly go again.

• "We had a very enjoyable stay at Owls Roost."

  The property was very clean, comfortable and well equipped. The cream tea on arrival was a lovely touch! The location, although fairly remote, was good for visiting the North Devon coast and Exmoor. The owners, who live next door, were always on hand and very helpful.

  The interior of the property is comfortably furnished and lacked nothing that could have made it more so. Jayne our host made sure that we had everything we needed.

• "It was perfect week had a good week, the owners very friendly."

  Nice welcome package. Not far from Combe Martin. They now have a decking, so you are sat higher up when sitting out. We would book it again anytime.

• "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.

• "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.

  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

  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 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.
