Wonderfully relaxing and nicely located. No hesitation recommending owls at all.
Lovely little cottage away from the main campsite, Beautifully decorated and equipped with everything you need for a great holiday Owners were friendly and helpful, but the most important part is the location wow unbelievable views from the footpaths and fields, fantastic coastline and beaches within walking distance, The campsite has a handy shop and great cafe, where you can get coffee and cakes, fish and chips and great curries, the staff are all lovely, kind and welcoming Owls Roost is in its own garden area with three other cottages, plenty of outside seating, a fire pit, barbecues etc. plus for a small fee you can have access to a lovely swim spa located in a pretty garden attached to the cottages Dog friendly we cant wait to visit again.
