"Heron Cottage was nicely presented however we had certain issues and actually returned home on the 15th June rather than complete our stay."
The biggest issue for us was the downstairs toilet/bathroom which was not mentioned in the cottage details. My wife has some mobility issues and having to go downstairs at night was a big issue. Stairs are quite steep. We also had a plumbing issue with the shower which required a lot of strength to turn on and as much force to turn off and apparently the cottage owners are having problems with the company who carried out the upgrade of five of the cottages and all have the same problem. The issue is ongoing but this is not a problem guests want to experience, particularly older guests. A container for shower gel, shampoo and conditioner would be helpful in the shower. The shower floor was not ideal. There was no DVD in our cottage. We were told to check for a slot at the back of the TV but there was no slot. Wardrobe storage was very limited and I feel sure would be a problem for four adults as there was only a very small cupboard in the main bedroom.

"What a delightful place."
Our cottage was spotlessly clean and had all the comforts of home. Stylish but simple decor and the beds were comfortable.
The layout of the farm and cottages is lovely and a very short and easy walk to the private beach. We loved it so much we extended our stay. It is very dog friendly and our dachshund had the best time. The owners are very friendly and approachable and we will definitely be back

"A lovely cosy cottage set in beautiful surroundings."
The farm animals and private beach were a highlight - we enjoyed going down to the beach every day with the dog for a paddle! We had everything we needed to make this little place home for the week and would definitely love to go back again!

"Our stay at Heron cottage was wonderful."
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.

"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.
