About this property

Lovely & Secluded-Rustic Retreat in Nature-Carp Fishing-Log Fire-Exmoor 7m

The Owlet is the perfect place to unplug, unwind & relax! It's a rural retreat totally hidden away in a beautifully quiet spot. You can switch off, enjoy a glass of wine & indulge in some star gazing. You'll be surrounded by wildlife so it's ideal for families and couples who appreciate the magic of nature & want to get away from it all! The Owlet is a cosy & welcoming old school static caravan with lots of personality & is a great adventure for those looking to get back get basics and discover their inner Bear Grylls.

Here at Bellbrook Farm we're creating a wildlife reserve which is a great location for spotting native wildlife including herons, kingfishers and kestrels as well deer and an abundance of dragonflies and damsels in the summer. The farm is quiet and relaxing, with a slow pace, and this is what makes it such a restful place to stay. We politely ask that guests with children respect this (no running around, shouting, ball games etc).

The Owlet is simple and sustainable as well as being bright and welcoming. There is a galley kitchen with a full sized oven and gas hob and an under counter fridge with ice box. It's perfect for cooking simple meals or enjoy cooking on the bbq which overlooks one of our beautiful lakes.

The cosy living area has plenty of seating in front of the fire and a Smart TV (as there is no aerial Freeview is not available but you can log in to Prime, Netflix, iplayer etc using your own details). The WiFi uses a mobile signal; however our rural location means this signal is not 100% guaranteed and is not the speediest. If high speed internet and TV are essential we'd wouldn't recommend staying here.

The main bedroom is newly decorated and has a small double bed. The second bedroom is smaller and has twin beds and a single wardrobe. We would suggest that this room is only suitable for children as the beds are 2ft wide. However we can make this into a small double for stays over 4 nights.

The bathroom has a shower, a 'hip size' bath and sink - all on our own spring fed water. As the water is gravity fed it won't get to the same pressure or temperature you have at home but it gets you clean! We're a sustainable holiday destination so we provide you with eco friendly toiletries and 'Who gives a Crap' toilet roll.

The wood burner is the only source of heating so in the colder months it can be a bit chilly in the mornings so we recommend fluffy socks and onesies! However it's in a beautiful spot and great for those who like peace, privacy and a bit of an adventure. We like to be honest so if you're looking for five star luxury and long hot showers it's not the place for you.

We hope The Owlet provides a place for guests to truly unwind, indulge in some Green Time and reconnect with each other and nature. It's a great place to come and just be, enjoy painting or go walking on nearby Exmoor and indulge in long pub lunches. To help guests get in the mindfulness groove we provide board games, jigsaw puzzles and bug hunting kits for the children.

Please note that access to this hidden gem is via single track country lanes and a stone farm track and is only suitable for cars (no vans or campers). Fishing is not included in the price. Details about our carp lake can be found at Bellbrook Carp Lake.

For days out there is plenty to do within 30 minutes drive such as two National Trust properties, Haddon Hill, Devon Railway Centre, Bickleigh Mill, Quince Honey Farm, Exmoor Pony Centre (combine this with a visit to Dulverton for cream tea), Wimbleball Lake and Tiverton has a canal with a cafe, horse drawn barge, a museum and castle. There is also an excellent riding stables that takes riders across Exmoor.

The lakes are unsuitable for swimming in or paddle boarding etc.

There is a maximum of 4 guests and one car to The Owlet at any time.

We welcome any questions and will always give an honest answer as we want you to have a 5* stay with us!

Idyllic location.
Everything was perfect from start to finish except the weather which no-one can control. The entrance could be a little kinder to vehicle suspension, other than that we loved it and will definitely look to visit again.

Lovely static caravan with wood burner which was needed, as it was very cold at night. Ellen is a lovely host, there if we needed anything. The scenery was stunning.

About the host

Hosted by Ellen Atwell

Host profile image
We love sharing our beautiful haven of peace and tranquillity with guests who also love nature. We are a sustainable farm and trout fishery with a menagerie of animals. We live here with our children and enjoy the magic of nature as well as a spot of surfing and horse riding.

Why they chose this property

We bought the fishery as we love the quiet location and the convenience to get to the rest of the West Country from here. The valley is rich with wild life and everyday you can see Exmoor Red Deer, Badgers, Foxes, Buzzards, Heron, Kingfishers and every songbird you can imagine. And yet if you want to get to the coast the beach is only 45 mins drive or if its a walk on Exmoor that's 20mins. If you are craving the city life Exeter and Taunton are 40 mins and Bristol just 75 mins.

What makes this property unique

It's the perfect place to hideaway from the world and reconnect with nature.
