  Oh my goodness, where to begin.

  We booked to stay at the Little Silver Owl for our 10 year anniversary (and to get away from the madness that is 2020) and we couldn’t have picked a more perfect place. The hut itself is immaculate and has everything you could possibly need...and more! The quality of everything is insane, from the Eve mattress, to the comfiest pillows I’ve ever slept on (I really need to find out what brand they were) the Nespresso machine and the shower!!! We couldn’t understand how a little hut in the middle of Devon has better heat and water pressure than our flat in London. The views, I haven’t seen anything quite like it, even on a rainy November day they were beautiful. The highlight of our trip was certainly sitting in the hot tub, looking at the stars and hearing the owls hoot to each other, there’s nothing quite like it. Peter and Lisa and the most amazing hosts, even before we arrived we had arranged a little celebration package to be waiting for us. When we arrived Peter told us “we like to leave you alone and give you your space, but if you need anything please give us a text or call”, which is just what we wanted. Peter and Lisa are so welcoming and friendly and as we were leaving we stopped to chat to a woman who worked there (sorry we didn’t manage to catch he name) and she was also so lovely, friendly and wished us a safe journey home. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left it was honestly perfection, I couldn’t fault a single thing. Thank you so much for our incredible stay, we can’t recommend the Little Silver Owl enough and we can’t wait to return!

  The holiday was a little spoiled by some issues with the property.

  (1) The under kitchen sink waste failed…. It came apart without us knowing allowing a previously full washing up bowl of water to run straight on to the floor. (2) The main front door was very difficult to lock due to wear or bad adjustment. (3) Both kitchen taps were constantly dripping despite us trying to turn off. (4) The Fridge kept ‘gurgling’ which may have been due to considerable frost build up. (5) A single ‘slat’ was missing from the kitchen blind (found under water soaked kitchen sink unit). (6) The front door frame was not fully sealed to the weather elements as you could see ‘daylight’ above the door from inside the cabin. (7) Not enough information provided in the ‘Welcome Book’, regarding how to deal with emergencies or request help. Nothing was immediately obvious to myself, my wife or a neighbour from a neighbouring cabin. Due to the ‘plumbing failure’ on our last evening on-site, and the resulting clean up operation we had to undertake, we feel a written apology should be forthcoming from the owner as we had to telephone and cancel an evening meal we had booked in Ilfracombe.

  This cabin exceeded my expectations to be honest.

  Very roomy and practical for a family of 4. I’d definitely stay again. Good location on a nice park and the Depot pub next door is great for food. I’ve only marked it down on maintenance for a couple of minor points. The dishwasher door handle (integrated) was half off but I fixed this while I was there. The oven and cooker hood lights have gone, a shelf in the en-suite needs to be replaced as it’s broken, a small coffee table in the lounge was broken and needs replacing, and finally the hoover hadn’t been emptied for I’d say a year, which seems to be an issue with every Sykes property we stay in! The only improvements I’d make personally would be a TV in the master bedroom and a screen on the front of the hot tub for some added privacy from the cabins opposite. Other than that we really enjoyed our stay and we would definitely recommend Seascape Retreat to anyone looking to holiday in the area.

  We had an amazing stay at Silver Owl.

  We were greeted by Peter the owner who is friendly & welcoming. The golf buggy is such a good idea and such fun to take your luggage down to your shepherds hut. On arrival was a generous welcome pack which included homemade baked fresh bread their own honey & eggs. Such a lovely touch as well as wine, fresh milk, butter, the list goes on. The shepherds hut is lovely & spacious with a comfortable king size bed with an Alexa to listen to your favourite music, a Smart Tv and has an oven for cooking if you don’t want to eat out. Everything has been thought of. The hot tub is amazing to relax unwind and take in the lovely surroundings and views whilst listening to the birds tweeting to one another. We had a nice meal at the Bell at Chittlehampton which is only a couple of miles away but you will need to drive their. We defiantly would consider returning again one day.

  We had the best time at Little Silver Owl.

  The views are more than we could have ever expected, it’s just a stunning location. The owners are so lovely, knowing they are nearby but also feeling as if it was just the two of us was perfect. We genuinely felt as if we were on our honeymoon! The welcome hamper is such a lovely extra, no need to take milk/butter or any essentials as they are all provided, the small details are just fabulous. We also loved having the golf buggy, a super fun extra! During the day we visited Croyde and Sauton Sands, which was absolutely stunning and a perfect way to spend the day (particularly Croyde Bay). We then came back every night to our hot tub under the stars, it was truly the perfect retreat. I couldn’t recommend this enough!
