01 — The Drawing Room
arrow_outward
A room that asks you to slow down.
Two deep sofas, a working fire, and a record player that has, on occasion, played until two in the morning.
The Roost Devon
The House
⚠️ A Georgian townhouse, quietly reimagined.
⚠️ Above a High Street filled with historical architecture, The Roost is a restored 18th-century townhouse holding seven beautiful boutique bedrooms.
Our Story
⚠️ A quiet building, given back its rhythm
⚠️ When we first walked through the door in the winter of 2022, the floorboards were warped, the chimneys cold, and the back garden behind a tangle of bramble. What stood beneath all of it was a beautiful, patient Georgian house — three storeys of lime plaster, sash windows and old Devon stone, waiting to be loved properly again.
Eighteen months of careful restoration later, The Roost reopened with seven bedrooms, a drawing room you can actually sit in, and the kind of silence that only comes from thick walls and well-kept gardens. Everything we touched, we tried to leave gentler than we found it.

"We have stayed here a couple of times before when we come to visit friends in Cullompton. The Roost is always a welcoming and comfortable place to stay."

Around the House
The spaces between the bedrooms.
Quiet rooms to read, to gather, to wake up slowly into — and a hallway worth lingering in.
02 — The Hallway
arrow_outward
A long welcome from the front door in.
Lime-washed walls, original floorboards underfoot, and a row of small framed prints we've quietly fallen for.
03 — The Stairs

Three storeys, all the way up.
The original Georgian staircase, lovingly restored. A small landing on each floor holds a chair and a stack of books.
04 — Morning Light
arrow_outward
Linen, sash windows, and a slow start.
Each bedroom wakes a little differently — east-facing on the first floor, south-facing under the eaves. Sleep comes easily; breakfast is downstairs whenever you're ready.
