The setting is beautiful, being able to walk from the door down to the South West Coastal Path and the farm’s private beach was fantastic. It was an added bonus walking through the animals when we went for walks. We were very lucky with the weather so we saw it all in the sunshine. The cottage is well equipped, although the corkscrew and cooker hood filter need replacing. The interior is very nicely decorated and furnished, making it a relaxing atmosphere. The cleaning arrangements made it feel very COVID-safe. A perfect spot for exploring North Devon.

“We had a fantastic week here.”

The weather was kind. The cottage was spotless and very well equipped. In a lovely setting. Beds were really comfy. Loved meeting all the really friendly animals. Private beach was an added bonus. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

“Great location and a wonderful place.”

Cottage has been renovated to a good standard so made for a very comfortable stay. Farm has lots to do and the beach was a few minutes walk away. The highlight of the trip was getting to spend time with the lovely alpacas and seeing all the other animals.

“The stay in our cottage was really beautiful.”

The newly renovated rooms were very cozy, so we had a very relaxed and cozy time on the farm. To experience the many animals up close was a great experience for us townspeople. We and the children really enjoyed it. We can highly recommend the farm.

“We had a wonderful time at Heron Cottage last week.”

Beautiful views, beach in walking distance and very friendly animals on the farm. We loved feeding them every morning and would definitely recommend this holiday to families with young children. Heron cottage was spotlessly clean and the beds were really comfortable. The welcome cream tea waiting for us on arrival was a lovely touch. 10/10 from the White family.

“Yes.as a holiday farm one would expect to animal droppings around the cottages.”

But what let this place down was unsightly piles of rubbish and areas where an attempt install drainage was seemed to have been abandoned. Although we enjoyed our stay at Widmouth farm I think the farm has lost its attractiveNess compared to previous year's. Having been going there several times before.

“Great coastal location, very friendly family and lovely animals.”

The cottages are comfortable and cosy in the winter when we visited.

“Lovely cottage, great location”

We stayed here as a family of three, 2 adults and 1 child. I found the location to be very convenient with Ilfracombe just down the road and Watermouth Castle two minutes the other way. The cottage was clean and well kept, cosy and welcoming. My only downside was the downstairs bathroom and the creaky single beds in the triple room (solved by pulling away from the wall a bit). The private beach is a great asset - I would've liked it to be clearer that we could borrow stuff to sit on though as I was only told this after I'd left! The animals are a bonus. We appreciated the welcome cream tea - but gave the eggs we'd been given away to the neighbour as we don't eat them. The neighbour had been told by the owners that they could have more eggs if they wanted but I never met the owner once while we were there. I'd happily stay here again in the future though, such a lovely spot!

“Beach was better than expected.”

Fab location & animal feeding is a great start to the day.

“Amazing place to stay.”

The kids loved the animal feeding. The views and private beach just topped it off. A perfect holiday location!

Widmouth Farm Cottages, Watermouth

Widmouth Farm Cottages is in a unique position on the stunning North Devon Coast, between Ilfracombe and Combe Martin. With spectacular sea views, a private beach and 35 acres of beautiful headland to wander through, this really is a perfect setting for a holiday cottage. The owners, who live on the farm along with their sheep, goats, alpacas, pigs, chickens and ducks, provide a huge welcome to guests who just love to help at animal feeding time, walking their dog along the coast path or just relaxing on the private beach, just 500 yards from the cottages. The beach reveals a large sandy expanse at low tide when you can swim, fish or walk around to Watermouth Harbour and return on the coast path with stunning views across the bay. The cottages are beautifully presented; some have sea views and share the play area, dog exercise field, laundry facilities and picnic area where you could spend hours relaxing with some locally-sourced goodies whilst gazing at the spectacular sea views and glorious sunsets over Samson’s Bay. The cottages are a couple of miles from the unspoilt village of Berrynarbor, with a welcoming pub and village shop. Explore Watermouth Castle, the award-winning Tunnels beach and Combe Martin Wildlife Park, all of which are close to the cottages. Alternatively, visit Ilfracombe, where Damian Hirst's Verity statue rests above the picturesque harbour, and the bustling seafront has many good-quality restaurants and bars, along with small independent shops. If you can tear yourself away from the splendid setting of Widmouth Farm and its private beach, then the three mile long sandy beach at Woolacombe, which holds the England for Excellence Gold Award for best family resort and was voted the Best British Beach in the Mail On Sunday, is a short drive away. This really is a truly stunning location to spend relaxation time with your four-legged friends.
