The Roost Apartment - King + Twin with ensuites
The Roost is a newly converted barn. Self-contained apartment consisting of a ground floor one king bed room with ensuite shower room. Upstairs in the eves is a twin bed room with charming slopping ceilings and a private shower room (it is spacious and you don’t bang your head). The well equipped kitchen/dining room with lounge area has large television and wifi throughout. In the courtyard area there is a picnic table for al fresco eating, plenty of free car parking and facilities to store bicycles. The Roost is an excellent base to explore and connect to the beautiful East Devon countryside and the spectacular UNESCO Jurassic Coast. Courtbrook Farm is close to Exeter (two minutes off the M5 at junction 30), Topsham and Sidmouth. Exeter Chiefs Rugby club is less than one mile away, with the fantastic Exe Estuary Cycle Trail within easy reach. Courtbrook Farm is situated five miles from the centre of Exeter, in the small village of Clyst St. George. We are located in a fantastic area to explore Devon, being just two miles from the M5 junction 30. Topsham is two miles away with its RSPB bird watching hide, open air swimming pool, lovely pubs, picturesque estuary and little shops.
The fabulous Exe Estuary cycle trail goes to Exmouth and links into the Exeter Quay. The cycle route can be joined at Darts Farm, an easy 15 minute walk away. Darts Farm is a high-class farm shop and restaurant. You can bring your own bikes or use the hire shops at Topsham or Darts Farm. The UNESCO World Heritage Jurassic Coast starts at Exmouth running all the way to Swanage in Dorset. Exmouth is a sandy beach, where a walk along the cliffs to Sandy Bay is highly recommended, when the tide is out the walk can be made across the sand. Other lovely seaside places; Budleigh Salterton with its round pebbles; Sidmouth with its beautiful Connaught Gardens and Jacobs Ladder; Beer with fishing boats up on the beach.
We have two apartments sleeping four people (The Parlour and The Roost) and one apartment sleeping two adults (The Honeypot). Each apartment has one king bed, with The Parlour and The Roost also having twin bed rooms. Each apartment has an ensuite or private bathroom. The apartments also include lounge areas, full facility kitchens, dining areas and a courtyard with table and chairs (or picnic bench). Each apartment has been carefully renovated, with exposed beams and other cottage-style features. Dogs are welcome in The Parlour - please call to confirm.
The apartments are well set-up for family, couples and business stays, with a quiet and cosy environment, easy access to the M5 and superfast wifi.
Places to visit include Dartmoor National Park, beautiful with vast moorlands, tors and spectacular views. Exeter Cathedral City is a vibrant shopping destination with a quay where canoe and paddleboards can be hired.

5***** reviews says it!In addition, the location was quiet, we found it very pleasant, it’s a short drive (or doable walk along quiet lanes) to Topsham & our host was very approachable & helpful. Thanks for an enjoyable stay!
Used as a base for visiting Exeter Uni open day - ideal location for park and ride there. Immaculately renovated barn conversion. Compact but met our needs.
Tucked quietly away but close by for easy access to a wide range of activities, days out. Great as a base if going out and about.
Easy check in and check out. We loved the shower upstairs. Kitchen was good.
