Set within 22.5 acres of ancient woodland, with direct access to Eggesford Forest, is this rustic holiday experience, where you can live a simple life in a wooden glamping lodge. This property makes an ideal romantic retreat for those wanting to get away from it all. Two guests and their two dogs are welcome to stay in the one-bedroom home, located on a working farm with walking trails and bridle paths leading directly from the property.

Upon arrival, a gated decked area leads you to the entrance of your wooden cabin. The central area houses the open-plan lounge/kitchen/dining space where you can curl up by the wood burner and watch TV in a cosy ambience. The kitchen provides everything you need to whip up a meal, so if a reclusive retreat is what you’re after there’s no need to leave the home. The real charm of this property is the furniture, with the dining area incorporating a table made from the farm’s own oak trees; the ideal spot to share a romantic meal and a glass of wine or two. Loungers can be found on the enclosed deck area outside, adding to the relaxed theme running through the property.

If you can tear yourself away from this hidden gem, you can explore the wild expanses of Dartmoor and Exmoor with walks leading in both directions from the home. North and South Devon coasts provide a rugged coastline and sandy beaches where water sports can be enjoyed. You and your beau may prefer to stroll through picturesque flora and fauna at RHS Rosemoor (17 miles away) which has year-round events and a wonderful cafe for a quick bite to eat.

Stunning location, easily accessible to most of Devon's key landmarks. Super dog friendly with enclosed garden. Warm, comfortable with all the facilities we needed. Cleaning needs slight improvement to warrant the 5* price it demands. However it is a 5* location.

Owls Roost is a totally delightful place to stay for peace and quiet and to feel at one with nature. The direct access to ancient woodland, an array of wildlife and perfect star gazing provide excellent opportunities to unwind. Add in the hot tub and the whole set up is incredibly relaxing.

Gorgeous built wooden lodge set in it's own private ancient woodland, with everything you need for a comfortable stay. Lovely suspended decking with own private hot tub where you feel that you are in the trees, also with a roofed area that you can still enjoy when it rains. If you want peace and quiet with just the sounds of nature this is the placRead moree. The owners are super friendly and helpful. Hide

Absolutely loved this beautiful cottage. Mery and John are super hosts and very welcoming. This cottage has everything you need. Well thought out and practical for dog owners. Our labrador absolutely loved her own private little enclosed garden as well as the run of the private woods just outside the front door. If I could live here I would.
