The Property: About The Owlery, romantic couples' cottage

Beautiful Romantic Couple's Cottage in South Devon

The Owlery, a romantic getaway cottage in its own peaceful valley in South Devon. Available for Christmas, short breaks, Valentine's day, summer holidays and romantic getaways. 

Spa bath for 2. Cottage surrounded by garden with views of higher valley at Dittiscombe.

The cottage is perfectly located for a walking break - stride out and walk straight from your cottage to the beach, a 50 minute walk  - or perhaps a more dramatic section of the South West Coast Path appeals?  Nearby is Slapton ley National nature Reserve, a haven for birds.

Between November and ApriL we offer short breaks and suggest an itinerary which might include dinner at The Tower Inn in Slapton, with a chance to read up on local history in front of the log fire.  Explore Torcross, a pretty village on the beach just 3 miles from Dittiscombe, with 1 and 2 hour trails by the side of Slapton Ley and along the South West Coast Path, enjoying both sea and Ley-scapes on either side, with a stop at the Memorial Tank to learn more about Operation Tiger, the D-Day landing practises which took place within Start Bay during World War II. A drive to Start Point Lighthouse, with a spectacular coastal walk round to Great Mattiscombe Sands looking out for seals and seabirds along the way; or from Hallsands to Beesands where you will find an excellent fresh fish menu or a tasty Sunday lunch at the Cricket Inn.
