Owls Oak Chalet is in a peaceful location surrounded by the fantastic Devon countryside and is the perfect choice for a romantic getaway for two or for relaxing days on the beach – you’ll be spoilt for choice in this part of the world with some of the best beaches in the UK, or for those who love scenic walks and discovery.
The chalet is all on one level and offers comfortable and contemporary studio accommodation for two comprising living, dining and sleeping areas with a kingsize bed and a separate shower room. The kitchen has everything you’ll need for your stay including a Nespresso coffee machine, and if you like tickling the ivories then help yourself to the lovely piano. There is also a Bluetooth speaker and a DVD player.
Outside there are well-maintained and presented grounds including a wildlife pond, private lawn areas with seating and spaces to enjoy the lovely surroundings while you have some al-fresco dining or a peaceful evening drink. The owners are happy for guests to wander around the paddocks too and to enjoy their fascinating alpacas on show – they love a camera! There is also a handy open-sided shed perfect for storing your bikes, surf boards and hanging wetsuits. And with parking for two cars, this property is the perfect holiday hideaway! For the fishing enthusiasts, Legge Farm coarse fishery is down the lane, and yoga and relaxation classes can be arranged too. Locally you will also find an archery centre, horse riding and the famous Warhorse Museum.
