Megs Roost

Megs Roost is a single-storey, studio-style cottage in the hamlet of Shute, East Devon, with views over the Umborne Valley. It sleeps 2 in a king-size bed that converts to twin 2'6" singles on request, and the property does not accept children, making it a spot geared toward couples.

The open-plan layout combines a kitchen, a dining area for two and a sitting area with a Smart TV and CD player. A shower room off the main space has a shower, wash basin, heated towel rail and WC. Electric heating, plus an electric oven, hob, microwave, fridge with ice box, kettle and toaster, cover cooking and warmth, and a washing machine is also fitted for longer stays.

Outside, an enclosed garden has a lawn, patio and furniture for alfresco dining, a quiet spot to sit out given the rural setting. Off-road parking for 1 car is provided at the owner's premises. Bed linen and towels are included in the rent, along with fuel and power, and there is no smoking and no pets.

WiFi is still being connected, so check with the owner before you book if you need it. The property sits in a rural location, so a torch is useful for arrivals after dark. The nearest shop is 2.9 miles away and the nearest pub 2.4 miles, with Colyton itself around 2.6 miles off.
