Seeking a dog-friendly getaway in Devon? Want it to feel every bit as special for your pooch as it does for you?
Your four-legged friend is welcome at Sleepy Owl, our award-winning collection of boutique treehouse and cabin retreats. Tucked away in a secret valley on the Hartland Peninsula in North Devon, we’re surrounded by peaceful countryside your dog will adore.
Set within 20 acres of private woodland and meadow, our stays are made for muddy-pawed adventures, wood-fired hot tubs, cosy nights in and memories you will talk about long after you leave.
A Dog-Friendly Retreat That Truly Welcomes Dogs
At Sleepy Owl, we do not just allow dogs: we truly welcome them. We know your four-legged friend is part of the family, so our dog-friendly treehouses and cabin have been designed with them in mind from the start. For instance, we have hot and cold showers to wash off your dog after a long, muddy walk!
You can bring up to two dogs to each retreat, and we provide a host of thoughtful extras to help them settle in, including welcome treats, a toy, bed and blanket, towels, shampoo, collars and more.
There is space to wander, sniff and explore across our secluded site, with winding paths, woodland, meadows and a beautiful river all close by. After a day of adventures, your dog can enjoy a rinse at the doggy spa before curling up by the wood burner for a well-earned snooze.
If you’re struggling to find quality dog-friendly accommodation in Devon, Sleepy Owl offers the rare balance of indulgence for you and comfort for them.
Why Winter Is Great Time to Visit?
Summer in Devon is beautiful, but can be busy at times. Winter at Sleepy Owl has its own quiet magic. When the days grow shorter, our retreats become cosy hideaways made for switching off.
Light the wood burner, sink into the sofa, pour a glass of something lovely and enjoy a private cinema-style evening on your own screen and your four-legged friends by your side. It is the perfect setting for slow weekends, Christmas breaks, New Year escapes and romantic winter getaways in Devon.
Outside, the wood-fired hot tub brings a little extra luxury to crisp evenings. Wrap up warm, step into the bubbles and look up. Sleepy Owl is in a Dark Skies area, which means winter can be one of the best times for stargazing. We even provide a telescope in each luxury retreat, so you can watch the night sky from your own peaceful corner of North Devon.
For dogs, winter brings its own joy too. They will love exploring the quiet woodland in the fresh country air. Afterwards, there will be cosy evenings by the fire after a day exploring the Hartland Peninsula.

Explore the Hartland Peninsula With Your Dog
Sleepy Owl sits in the heart of North Devon, within easy reach of dramatic coastline, quiet countryside and the Devon and Cornish coasts. The Hartland Peninsula is known for its wild beauty, with rugged views, pebble and sandy beaches, walking routes and film-worthy scenery.
In fact, the area has been used as a filming location for productions including House of the Dragon, Sense and Sensibility, Malory Towers, Rebecca and The Night Manager. It is easy to see why. This part of Devon feels peaceful, cinematic and full of character.
For guests travelling with dogs, it is a wonderful base for countryside walks, beach days and relaxed pub visits. After a day exploring, you can return to your own private retreat, light the fire and let the world slow down.
