Owls Roost Escape Reviews

Jessica - Feb 2025
We stayed in this charming little cabin and loved how it really felt like a true escape to the countryside. The private woods are perfect for wandering and exploringand there's absolutely no light pollution-just stunning starry nights and the occasional hoot of an owl. The hosts were lovely, making us feel really welcomed and offering help when needed. It’s a perfect spot to unwind and disconnect. We had a fantastic few days and definitely hope to come back soon!
Emma Carter - Feb 2025
We really enjoyed our time here, the place was stunning and full of charm. The hosts made us feel so welcome, super friendly and full of great tips. The lodge exceeded our expectations and we can't wait to come back for more peaceful days. Thanks a lot!
Emma - Nov 2024
Great stay, lovely hosts, perfect spot, clean and comfy!
Emma - Jul 2023
Beautiful spot close to Devon’s main sights. Very dog-friendly with a nice enclosed garden. The place is cosy and has everything we needed for a comfy stay. Just a bit of cleaning could make it perfect, but overall, it’s a top location!
Claire - Jun 2023
We really enjoyed our stay here. It was such a lovely place to be, feeling like we were one with nature in our own tree house! Such a unique experience, plus the views were just breathtaking.
Emily - Jun 2023
Owls Roost is a truly delightful spot for some peace and quiet, allowing us to really connect with nature. The direct access to ancient woodland, a variety of wildlifeand stunning star gazing offer brilliant chances to unwind. Plus, the hot tub makes the entire experience incredibly relaxing!
James - Apr 2023
This gorgeous wooden lodge is nestled in its own private ancient woodland, offering everything needed for a comfy stay. The lovely suspended decking and private hot tub make you feel like you’re among the trees, plus there’s a roofed area to enjoy even when it rains. If you’re after peace and quiet, with just the sounds of nature, this is the place. The owners are friendly and so helpful!
Mark - Apr 2023
We couldn't wish for a more peaceful and relaxing spot! The owners were fantastic, the cabin was just brilliantand the woodland was truly beautiful.
Jill - Mar 2023
The location is absolutely fabulous if you enjoy being away from it all. There’s no traffic, just the lovely sounds of birdsong — we really loved it! You can walk to the nearest pub, but just a heads up, the journey back is all up hill. We managed it in our mid 60s and we're reasonably fit, but we don’t think everyone would handle it as easily.
Emily - Sep 2022
We absolutely loved this beautiful cottage. Mery and John are super hosts and really welcoming. The cottage has everything you could need. It’s well thought out and practical for dog owners. Our labrador enjoyed her own private little enclosed garden and loved having the run of the woods right outside the front door. Honestly, if we could live here, we would! Our evenings were spent watching shooting stars and seeing bats and owls fly overhead. It’s a truly special place. We can’t recommend it enough.
Simon - Aug 2022
What a lovely setting in an ancient woodland forest! There are several walks right from the door with our doggies. The cafe, pubs, shop, garage and railway station are all within easy reach. We had a wonderful time.
Oliver - Jul 2022
We can’t recommend this place enough! Honestly, we’re already planning to book again for next year. The cabin is stunning and has so much charm in a wonderfully private setting. Everything was immaculate and super comfortable, plus it has all the amenities you could ever need. The owners are really lovely and helpful, but they give you your space so it’s just you and the trees! There are beautiful walks, local villages, pubs and great food around. This was an incredible holiday getawayand we miss it loads! It could not be better.
Clara - Jul 2022
Owls Roost is such a lovely, relaxing lodge! It’s nestled by a forest with great walks for our dog. The hot tub was just perfect for unwinding in the evening, with no noise apart from the birds and the occasional sheep. The owners are super friendlyand the lodge is really well equipped with everything you could possibly need. We loved it so much that we’re going back next year!
Emma - Jun 2022
We had a fantastic week’s stay! We didn’t realise how noisy city life is until we came home from Owls Roost. Would definitely recommend the cabin and we will most definatly be back. Our dog Teddy also loved it—the garden is secure and the private woods are a nice, peaceful place for walks. There are lovely places to visit if you don’t mind driving.
Oliver - Apr 2022
What a lovely spot! The hosts were super accommodating and there was everything you could want for a quiet, relaxing week. We highly recommend it, especially if you have dogs. There are no restrictions on having them in the lodgeand the walks are lovely for them. It was so good that we booked again for next year!
Lucy - Mar 2022
What a wonderful cottage this is! Everything about it is just perfect - it’s well equipped, super comfortableand the location is absolutely stunning. This is definitely our new favourite place to stay and we can’t recommend it highly enough!
Emily - Oct 2021
This property is absolutely perfect, with no faults whatsoever! It's the ideal escape to just get away from everything. The hosts were wonderful—so friendly and helpful. Honestly, we have nothing negative to say at all.
J - Oct 2021
This is such a brilliant cabin in a lovely woodland setting! If you're seeking peace and quiet, then honestly, this is the ideal spot for you.
Lucy - Oct 2021
Owls Roost is such a fantastic place to stay if you want lovely owners, a beautiful setting with wildlife right outside your doorand a magical view from the decking. The cabin is stunning and has everything you need, including a lovely log burner. You really don’t have to use your car if you want to go for walks, as you have the forest to explore, the Tarka Trailand even the owners’ private forest, which is perfect for peace and tranquillity. We will definitely go back year after year!
James - Oct 2021
We had a fantastic holiday! The cottage is absolutely unbelievable. If you prefer it quiet, this is definitely the spot for you. Walking through the private woods was just amazing. Relaxing in the hot tub on the raised decking, surrounded by the trees, is something we won't forget any time soon. Mery and John, the owners, were very helpful. We are already planning our return!
