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.

Note: This property has a refundable Good Housekeeping bond of £100.

“Beautiful, clean holiday cottage in an absolutely stunning location.”

Being on a farm AND having a private beach meant that this was just perfect for children and dogs!

Mrs Sutcliffe April 2021

“The cottage was very cute and well kitted out.”

The main bed was very small and soft which made it difficult for two full sized people to sleep in however there was a spare bedroom. The grounds were beautiful, it was really good fun feeding the goats and Alpacas on the farm. Great location for walking the South West Coastal path as the entrance to the path is just across the field. Beautiful views from the farm and lovely little courtyard and private beach. The owners were extremely helpful, and friendly.

Mr Darnell October 2020

“Absolutely fabulous location - great farm, beautiful alpacas- awesome little beach and cove.”

Brilliant dog friendly pubs with food everywhere. Despite awful weather we had a brilliant holiday.

“Wonderful place and experience.”

- Mr Mackey, October 2019
Mrs Burgon September 2019

“We loved the location and the animals on the farm.”

The upstairs of the cottage was beautiful. The kitchen/lounge area was small but adequate for 2 people. It could do with a bathroom refurbishment but other cottages on site were going through updates whilst we were there so hopefully Swallow Cottage will too.

“Wonderful hosts, beautiful location and very dog friendly”

Mr Grainger May 2019

“Great location between Combe Martin and Ilfracombe, the cottage we stayed in ( Swallow ) is in need of some TLC, but there are plans to update all the cottages.”

The animals on the farm have free range and you get to meet the goats, geese, chickens and alpacas, especially at 9am every morning when you get the chance to feed them. Really well organised establishment, very clean and the private beach is an added bonus. We needed some extra plates and bowls, but the owners responded very quickly to our request. Highly recommend and we will return as soon as we can

- Mr Grainger, May 2019

“Cottage was lovely and clean, had everything we needed in a beautiful location.”

- Ms Forrester, August 2018
Mrs Dukes May 2018

“The cottage was lovely, it was clean and reasonably well equipped.”

It’s location was beautiful and the private beach a real asset. The bed in the double room was not a standard double - it was smaller. Although very comfortable not ideal. The sofa was very uncomfortable and would put us off returning to this cottage.

- Mrs Dukes, May 2018
