“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.
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.
