Dog Friendly
We love your furry friends almost as much as you do!
That’s why we’ve kitted out our stays at Sleepy Owl with a host of extra treats just for them. Let them explore the winding paths and splash in the river before relaxing at the doggy spa and curling for a snooze by the wood burner.
You can bring up to 2 dogs to each retreat, and they get their own welcome treat, toy, bed, towels, blanket, shampoo, collars and more.

Family Friendly
From colourful lights or canopies above their beds, to the telescope, the stacks of board games perfect for all ages, and fun activities and adventures across the entire secluded site.
Each retreat has a separate kid’s bedroom. There’s also plenty to do for families in the area, including theme parks, surfing, and miles of coast. Check out our blog for some great tips!

Hidden in a secret and secluded valley, yet within walking distance of Hartland village.

The Site
Sleepy Owl Devon is a small collection of exquisite boutique stays tucked secretly away in a picturesque hidden valley in the North Devon Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, and on the breath-taking Hartland Peninsula.
Nestled in 20-acres of private woodland and meadow, Sleepy Owl retreats boast an unrivalled backdrop. Take a stroll through the wildflowers, along the twisting river, or through the woods, all right from your doorstep.
Enjoy evenings curled up on the terrace or in your hot tub watching the stars - the view is quite spectacular. Sleepy Owl is situated in a Dark Skies area so you can admire the Milky Way and we even provide a telescope in each luxury retreat.

Support Local
We will always look to source local and continue to support the many fantastic independent businesses in the area to provide our guests with one-of-a-kind experience.
Our retreats showcase local craftsmanship, produce and design. We took the time to source local timber and local trades during the build, and we didn’t stop there. From our welcome cakes being made locally, to our commissioning unique dinner sets from Calf Street Pottery in Hartland, we are so proud and thankful to every local person and business that has helped us along the way.
With every detail lovingly sourced and crafted to promote the natural beauty of Sleepy Owl and the surrounding area; each of our luxury retreats is a curated balance of opulence and proximity to nature.

Sustainable
From conception to completion, sustainability will always be at the heart of what we do.
We wanted to create a special place where guests can switch off in harmony with the environment around, and we wanted to do this in a way that gave back as much as possible in the process.
We are honoured to have been recognised with Gold awards for Ethical, Responsible, and Sustainable Tourism in both Devon and the South West. We’re also proud of our Green Tourism Gold status, and our Landowner of the Year Award from The Bumblebee Conservation Trust.
As Biosphere Business Partners, we’re committed to showcasing our long-term commitments to ecology and biodiversity and to raising awareness of the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and its aims.
