Will certainly stay again

Mrs Hann July 2021

“The cottage was beautiful.”

The setting was lovely with all the animals having free roam of the land too was so nice to see. For the 3 of us and a dog Martin Cottage was just perfect, everything well presented and clean. The single room door sticks from the inside but when mentioned to a staff member they were willing to address it straight away if needed. Staff would walk past regularly and great our fur baby numerous times which she just loved. The cottages are set hire local to Hele Bay, we didn’t manage to do the costal walk with an 8 week old but would definitely do it when we return. The private beach is a little rocky but is beautiful and very easy to get too, wish we had spent more time there. Overall lovely stay and looking forward to booking up again in the future.

“This property has been refurbished to a really high standard since our last stay and is looking fabulous!”

Bathroom is a really decent size and the beds were extremely comfortable. The outdoor space is a bonus and is great for dogs. My parents were delighted with their accommodation and the whole property in general.

“Fantastic location, we’ll be booking again.”

A little info pack about decent takeaways etc would be wonderful, but this is a suggestion only, of course didn’t detract from the holiday at all!

“We had an email upgrading us to Round barn & we were not disappointed, beautifully decorated throughout & very comfortable.”

Nice touches with fresh scones left for us & a doggie towel. Highly recommended. Nice walk to private beach & right on the southwest coastal path.

Mr Zernikow September 2019

“It was a very pleasant stay at the cottage, although at first we got the wrong one, so one of us had to sleep on the floor.”

But it was quickly organized that we got a bigger cottage. There it was a really lovely place to stay in. A nice surprise were all the animals on the farm that you can easily feed or even stroke.

Ms Sydenham August 2019

“The most beautiful setting and such a bonus having the beach.”

Did have some problems parking with a VW van but managed it.....slope was steep and tight. We had a wonderful time here exploring the area for the best kite surfing spots and it was so comforting to come back to the cottage with its lovely hot shower. Hopefully we will be back but will probably need a bigger cottage as gangly teenager needed more space to do lounge!

Mrs Brown July 2019

“Excellent location and accommodation but sadly let down by the poor state of decoration and cleanliness of the bathroom.”

- Mrs Brown, July 2019
Mrs Bristow June 2019

“Snug cottage ideal for couples.”

Small enclosed patio area ideal for dogs at the front. Bathroom could do with updating but otherwise very comfortable. Amazing location!

- Mrs Bristow, June 2019
Mrs Hawes June 2019

“Perfect little cottage on a lovely small farm.”

Nice relaxing break.

- Mrs Hawes, June 2019
Mr Nickalls May 2019

“We enjoyed the stay ok and recommend for family with young children as they have farm animals.”

Nice walk but not suitable for elderly as has steep hill track path and steps. The bathroom wasn't very clean, and need updating, All windows very rooms were dreadful dirty and not had regular cleaned. Poor WFI, best to go to pubs / Towns instead. Bit pricing though !

- Mr Nickalls, May 2019
Mr Chubbock September 2018

“A most enjoyable home from home experience.”

Mrs Eardley June 2018

“The only problem we had was a very steep and I mean steep slope to allocated parking place and a very narrow stone walled exit/entrance.”

My car is large range rover. It was not a real problem as we were allowed to park in the visitors spaces. However, if we had known in advance could have enquired if there were alternative cottages at the same place, there were some vacant ones whilst we were there so that would have been easier as their parking would have been ideal. Would not have put us off booking as Devon is Devon, hills and all as I found out in Porlock - blimey what a hill. Otherwise great holiday both for the area and accommodation

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.
