“Loved the cottage, it delivered so much more then advertised!”

Feeding the animals everyday was an amazing experience, the land that is around the cottage has the most incredible views and the private beech is excellent. No doubt that i'll be booking this again next year. Amazing!

“Lovely place to go, the owners are fabulous people who are around for anything.”

Couldn't find any faults other than the weather.

“Robin cottage was clean and tidy and we knew that it was small so that was not a problem.”

But unfortunately it wasn't clear to me that it did not have any garden at all. I had read that it had a shared courtyard with furniture which I expected to be joined to the property. As it was the courtyard was along the road from us. Stepping out through our front door you were on the road itself, and we found it quite awkward for our dog especially in the middle of the night if he needed a wee. I think there were only two cottages without enclosed outside space and I feel that this should be made clear when booking as unsuitable for dogs. Lastly the walk to the pub and shop was pretty difficult as the only way to go was so overgrown. The pub was worth it once you made it there though and the food was lovely.

“We read that the cottage would be cleaned well after dog owners used the cottage , in our case it was not it smelt of dogs .”

The lampshades had thick dust on them , a wet mop in a bucket was left in the cottage . The cottage should be advertised as dog owners only .We have not got any problems with dogs but the cleanse has to be there if dogs are welcomed

“The Robin Cottage is extremely well sited to allow easy access to the SW Coast Path, Exmoor and other coastal and inland places of interest.”

The cottage is well appointed and is set in grounds that are available for guests to explore and relax in. The picturesque private (pebble) beach is a real bonus. There are ample places to eat and drink nearby, many within reasonable walking distance.

“Fabulous cottages in beautiful surroundings.”

Fun being able to walk down to private beach through the animal fields, being followed by alpacas is an experience, we cannot wait to visit again with our grandchildren.

Mr Winn September 2018

“Widmouth Farm Cottages Location is Ideal very much tailored around accommodating pets, However in our opinion Robin Cottage does not meet a 4* rating, The Cottage was clean but very tiny, when we viewed the Gallery on your website there was only one or two interior photos which did not clearly indicate how small and cramped it is.”

Additionally the furniture was extremely uncomfortable which is why we decided to return home a day earlier. The Shower Room was also uncomfortably small, The door hit the washbasin only allowing the door to open part of the way, A larger person would certainly find using the Shower Room very difficult indeed. On your website if you view the gallery for other Cottages at Widmouth they are much more descriptive with many photos which in our case led us to a false illusion for what to expect. We did not feel we had good value for money.

“Beautiful location and views.”

The private beach is a real bonus especially with a water loving dog. Absolute peace and tranquility.

- Mrs Mancini, August 2018
Mrs Dowty June 2018

“Lovely bijou cottage, loved the secure fenced dog exercise field and the beach where our dog first swam with another visiting friendly dog.”

Friendly owners and we enjoyed the cream tea on our arrival.

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.
