Property code: OC-ROOST

Surrounded by natural woodland and fields with far-reaching views, this lovely little retreat for two is in a peaceful, romantic-getaway location complete with outdoor hot tub and covered veranda. The cottage is just under a mile from the rugged North Devon coast at Lee Bay with easy access to the South West Coast Path making it a delightful base for walkers.

On arrival, long wide gravel steps lead down through the trees to the property. Inside, guests will find that the cottage is stylishly decorated with tongue and groove wood panelling and wooden floors. The open-plan living area is an inviting space with a comfortable, reclining leather sofa and a wood burner that you can snuggle up in front of on chillier evenings. From here, doors lead out to the well-presented south-facing veranda and garden which has beautiful views. The bedroom area has a king-size bed with a luxury en-suite shower room.

An ideal base for couples exploring this wonderful area, there are plenty of walks in the surrounding area and with the beauty of Lee Bay being less than a mile, guests can explore both the coast and the countryside, plus the local pub is also less than a mile, serving great food. Further afield, with its picturesque harbour, breathtaking cliffs and sandy beaches, Ilfracombe (2 miles) offers a wide range of outdoor activities such as fishing, water sports, and coastal walks. The town is also a haven for art lovers, with numerous galleries showcasing local talent. Otherwise, why not head 4 miles to the beautiful golden sands of Woolacombe?

Very cosy studio well thought out and equipped. Great coastal walking right from the door, although the walk back from the beach is strenuous! Enjoyed using the hot tub under the stars.

We loved our week away at the roost. made us feel welcome and was available on site if you needed help. The roost was clean, cosy, comfortable and so peaceful in an idyllic position. It reminded me of a tree house set in Africa. Whilst we didn't have giraffes to feed from our novel height we did see plenty of birdlife including a tawny owl which apRead morepeared each night as the bats left the roost (which Paul built). The hot tub was lovely at the end of each day. Lee bay is lovely, hidden away. We would definitely recommend The Roost as long as your mobility isn't impaired as parking is away from the house up 20 steps. You can drop off luggage via a side gate on the road but you can't park there. Over all our holiday was very enjoyable, peaceful, comfortable and I would return at the drop of a hat. Hide

The Roost is a little gem and ideal for a couple wanting a bit of peace and quiet in a rural setting. The property is on one floor, open plan and well laid out. There's a lovely veranda to sit out on with the added bonus of a hot tub which we really enjoyed. There's a great pub (The Grampus) in the village of Lee which is a 15 minute walk away downRead more the lane and the beach a further 5 minutes further on. I would definitely stay here again. Hide

Its a fantastic peaceful location where you can unwind and enjoy the view A word of warning to dog owners the gate to main road is not gated sufficiently to stop your dogs. It is easily remedied by blocking off the route by the side of the house, but it would be good if there was a permanent gate
