Property code: OC-WARRE

A quiet retreat for couples, close to the sea, and yet in a peaceful location away from the throngs of holidaymakers, Warren Roost is a former hayloft which has been converted to an open-plan studio-style property. Situated within a mile of the harbour village of Cockwood and 1.5 miles from the beach at Dawlish Warren on Devon’s south coast, you’re never far from a day at the beach.

 

A cosy holiday studio, guests approach Warren Roost via a set of external steps which lead onto a decked seating area and on to the front door of the single-storey property. With everything all together in one space, including the lounge, kitchen, dining area and bedroom, it is ideal for spending some much needed time together. The exposed stone walls and beamed ceiling ensure that the property retains the authentic feel of a farm cottage, whilst the TV/DVD ensures that guests can keep up with their favourite programmes and enjoy a late-night film snuggled up in bed. On summer evenings, sit out with drinks on the decking and enjoy views across the fields to the sea.

 

The position of this property allows guests to easily step out and walk to the village of Cockwood, where they can watch the comings and goings of boats on the Exe Estuary before retiring to the village’s welcoming pub. Or follow the footpath around the coast and cross the sand dunes at Dawlish Warren, home to a host of seabirds and coastal wildlife. 2.5 miles south of the property, meanwhile, the resort town of Dawlish has a golden sandy beach and a good choice of places to eat.

  • Studio style apartment with open-plan kitchen/living room/dining/bedroom
  • 1 shower room with WC
  • Smart TV/DVD
  • Electric oven, hob, fridge with ice-compartment, microwave/combi grill.  Nescafe Dolce Gusto coffee machine

Lovely, quiet and very comfortable. All we needed for a weeks break. Well stocked kitchen wise, nice to see sundries like washing up liquid, bin bags etc. A comfortable bed and clean bathroom. A lovely view from the veranda over the estuary and farmland in a sun spot. Easy to find and a welcome tea and scones. I would recommend other visitors to doRead more as we do and take what provisions you need. The local supermarket is very expensive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will definitely come again.
