“A beautiful house in a private, ...”

A beautiful house in a private, peaceful setting. The views from the house are a delight, and the walk across the fields to Beesands is one amazing photo taking opportunity. The house fitted 11 of us with ease, and the garden was great for endless games of hide and seek. A restful holiday.

“We rented this property last year ...”

We rented this property last year and raised the issue re lack of any comfortable outside furniture (there is a huge empty terrace area.) We were disappointed that this was still the case, and this will possibly be the reason we do not rebook it for next year. Also, considering the number of people the house sleeps, the seating in the living room is woefully inadequate. Not everyone wants to sit in the games room. A TOAST RACK! We noticed that this omission in the kitchen has been pointed out a long time ago (see visitors' book).

“We were impressed with Lower ...”

We were impressed with Lower Widdicombe Farm. It is in an ideal location, beautifully secluded yet within an easy walk to the beach, pub and fish and chips! The property was very clean and equipped with everything we needed (and more!). The house is very spacious, with plenty of room, even at full capacity, with a very large kitchen, outside eating area and lots of space for boots, coats etc to be kept out of the way in the boot room. Highly recommended!

“We will never book with Sykes ...”

We will never book with Sykes cottages again. Our holiday property was super, weather great, etc. However more than three months before our holiday we wanted to cancel the booking with Sykes because of changes in our party. Originally 14 people were coming and we had booked a large expensive property accordingly. Unfortunately several people had to drop out and we wanted therefore something smaller. Not only would Sykes not return our deposit (which we expected and thought was reasonable) they also refused to cancel the reservation and made us pay the entire amount. We have been booking holiday homes for decades and have never encountered such inflexible and unreasonable terms. Our advice is not to book through Sykes.

“This is a perfect house for our ...”

This is a perfect house for our annual Easter family holiday together. There are 13 family members age ranging from 81 to 10 years and it suits us all. Great big family kitchen, lovely bedrooms, en-suites & bathrooms & a super games room for family table tennis tournaments. A really lovely clean & well kept house & garden. We can thoroughly recommend it.

The property

This 19th century former farmhouse is situated down a private drive amid countryside on a working farm two miles from Torcross and Beesands.

Just a mile from the sea, it is beautifully refurbished, smart accommodation for big family gatherings and sociable groups of friends.

From the hall with its practical slate floor for kicking off boots, head into the stylish living room where you can snuggle up beside the wood burner and watch TV.

The big kitchen is the fabulous hub of the house in true country style, with a long oak table for leisurely meals together and a couple of chairs beside the wood burner for chatting with the cooks creating magic in the handbuilt kitchen area.

The younger members of your party will love playing table tennis and table football in the games room.

Anyone who doesn't want to climb the stairs will appreciate the downstairs en suite double bedroom, and you will find five more bedrooms on the first floor with comfy Vi Spring beds and access to four bath or shower rooms.

At the top of the house is the seventh bedroom peacefully under the eaves.

The terrace has been carefully positioned at the front of the house to give you great views over fields to the sea as you pour your sundowners and eat alfresco at the picnic tables.

Children can run free and play football on the lawn below.

If you fancy a stroll, head out on footpaths which cross the farm and take you to the South West Coast Path and down to the shingle beach, good pub and café serving some of Devon’s finest fish and chips in Beesands village.

If you prefer to cook your own seafood, you can buy fresh fish locally and head to the brilliant farm shop at Stokenham for delicious accessories to feast like kings.

For buzzing little towns, go to Kingsbridge or catch the pedestrian ferry to picturesque Salcombe from East Portlemouth where you will find tempting little boutique shops to explore.

Stunning Lower Widdicombe Farm is a unique base in a remarkably unspoiled and beautiful coastal area of Devon.

About the location

BEESANDS

Hallsands 3 miles; Kingsbridge 8 miles; Dartmouth 12 miles; Salcombe 13 miles; Totnes 16 miles.

The small fishing village of Beesands is situated within the South Hams area of Devon, within reach of the towns of Kingsbridge and Salcombe. Beesands has a Blue Flag, mile-long shingle beach, a village green, a beach shop and café, a fishing tackle shop, the award-winning Cricket Inn and a large freshwater lake, known as Widdecombe Ley, from where a variety of bird and wildlife can be seen. Close by is the small village of Hallsands, which has a dog-friendly, unspoilt beach, and linking both villages is the National Trust’s South West Coast Path. The sheltered South Hams Peninsula is in 'deepest Devon', a pastoral landscape of flowering hedgerows and ancient sunken lanes, carved into by the richly wooded Avon and Dart Valleys. This Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty is decorated with white, pink and ochre thatched cottages, picturesque fishing ports such as Dartmouth, and is renowned for its stunning coastline, popular with yachting enthusiasts. Nearby, uncover the beauty of Blackpool Sands and Torcross, a historic site where the Normandy landings were practiced; explore the nature reserve at Slapton Ley, and stroll along Slapton Beach, feeling the soft sand between your toes. Park at East Portlemouth and catch the ferry across to the beautiful seaside town of Salcombe with its renowned estuary, or visit the Start Point Lighthouse, which is a few miles away. Beesands is a wonderful base for uncovering the unspoilt beauty of Devon and the South Hams, all year round.
