About the host
Hosted by Chris
When we are not sailing, Karen and Chris love walking, gardening and looking after our home. Being a host allows us to welcome people from all round the world and to share our quiet countryside.
Why they chose this property
We have lived in the beautiful Culm Valley for most of our adult lives and converted our home from a derelict barn. We love the Devon sense of community to our little hamlet, our village, our valley and our county.
What makes this property unique
The Roost is self-contained, but we are next door to help you when you need us. We think it is our duty to be friendly to our environment, so we have solar panels and never use plastic wipes or packaging. Our shampoo and soaps are ethically sourced and refilled to minimise packaging waste. As with most of Devon, we have measures to allow you to recycle or compost virtually all your waste.
