Why we love it
Hidden in 20 acres of North Devon AONB, there’s a hot tub, private terrace, and enclosed garden to while away a few days
What you'll love
Dogs will love
- Exploring the grounds to find all the hidden sniffs
- Taking laps of the enclosed garden
- Chomping at the water in the outdoor warm dog shower
Humans will love
- Toasting marshmallows on the firepit
- Watching movies on the projector in the bedroom
- Making pizza in the wood fired oven
The place
You’ll be spoilt for choice at Cosy Cowshed, as to how to spend your downtime. Crash on the sofa, whilst someone else makes use of the modern and well-equipped kitchen to cook something fancy, to enjoy inside or out on the deck. If not, take a couple of leisurely hours to enjoy making pizzas al fresco, and eye the wood fired Hikki hot tub, or the hammock down the steps in the enclosed garden space – both ideal for a post meal nap. The grounds at the Sleepy Owl Estate leave six acres to explore, and another 14 acres of private woodland adjacent to tire out any bounding pups, or greying old boys alike. A short walk to the village, you can also take your dog to explore, and pick up supplies for back at home, as well as trekking the various walks there are to seek out, right from the doorstep. There’s plenty to do as night falls, and you might have to flip a coin to decide between movie night, on the bedroom projector, or a glass of something in the hanging basket chair – overseeing and taste testing all marshmallow roasting on the firepit.
