Pack up your pups’ bowls, beds and favourite tennis balls for a stay in this magnificent Devonshire holiday home. Presenting a top-dog location, the property benefits from undisturbed surrounding countryside and both Ilfracombe and the coast close by. Ideally suited to any dog-loving pair, this studio-style holiday home has been thoughtfully laid out to host two guests and up to two canine companions. Set off walking along coastal paths to find beautiful beaches and wide sandy expanses for unforgettable games of fetch with your furry friends.

Head past the decking with a private hot tub and a gorgeous veranda to enter this single-storey accommodation. Those with dogs who like to get stuck in the mud will be pleased to find that the entire place is laminated, just don’t forget to pack your doggy towels before setting off! Having given each pup a wipe down, enjoy relaxing in the open-plan living area with lounge, kitchen, diner and king-size bedroom in one versatile space. An en-suite shower room completes the layout. Benefiting from a warming wood burner in the lounge area and underfloor heating throughout, the entire property is kept warm and cosy in even the coldest of months. Let your pups find the warmest place in the house to settle down and dream of their favourite walkies.

Set within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, you’ll never fall short of beautiful areas to explore whilst walking the dog in this wonderful area. The property can be found just 1 mile from Lee Bay, a traditional coastal village with a dog-welcoming local pub and access to the South West Coastal Path. Let your doggo sniff along this route to find the neighbouring Rockham Beach (3 miles), a rocky and sandy stretch where dogs are welcome all year round, or in the opposite direction along to Ilfracombe (2 miles).

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
