"Nice house."
There is a lot of competition in the holiday rental space now and we were surprised that there was so little in the house to make the trip a bit easier/nicer
Easy wins would be
- a modest welcome basket (milk, tea, coffee etc.)
- more than one loo roll!
- some shower gel
- an iron and ironing board in the house (a walk to an external laundry room with shared facilities is not fun)
These little and inexpensive things would have made the experience better.
Bathroom has a bit of mould and would benefit from an extractor fan.
Overall it was fine but we wouldn’t rush back.
Views and location were lovely though and very peaceful.

Second time at Widmouth Farm, fantastic cottage with sea views, access to coastal path and private beach was fab, enclosed exercise field for the dog was great, the pathways cut into the field was an added bonus and the views were breathtaking, very chilled out holiday and so lucky with the weather, would stay again if returning to North Devon

"Wonderful property."
Cosy with everything you could need plus more. The setting is quite beautiful, the animals are friendly - it's not often you feed Alpacas- the coastal park is literally on your doorstep and many great locations are a short drive. To sum up its quite idyllic.

"What an amazing place!"
No, it's not got all the mod-cons that some may like but it's got charm in abundance. It's perfectly situated with access to a private and sheltered cove (where the children could swim and paddleboard), the farm was well-kept with friendly alpacas and goats that we could hand feed and 2 funny geese! Our cottage wasn't large but it was big enough for us and we loved the paintings, the curtains and the cushions (my 13 year old and me to put that). We loved it and would love to come back with family who could stay in the other cottages.

The area is beautiful and the cottages are delightful. The property owners are also really lovely and helpful. I’m sure we’ll be back because we, our friends and the 2 dogs had another wonderful week.

"We absolutely loved this place; the cottage was very cute, its surroundings were stunning and the little private cove was a major plus for us!"
The downside though, was the internet connection which was more often than not, unavailable. That, and the fact that we could not get any mobile reception on the farm, was a problem on this occasion. Having said that, we hope to return again very soon.

"Pheasant Cottage is set up for 6 people."
However the hot water supply is completely inadequate. There is enough hot water for one shower in the morning and one in the afternoon, and to do small amounts of washing up. We thought there was as a problem and spoke to the owner, only to be told (I’m paraphrasing here) “that’s the way it is”.
It was hard to contact the owners as well - often no one would answer the phone, they asked us to contact them via Facebook but due to the intermittent Wi-fi we couldn’t get online (it’s remote so there was poor phone signal). Corona virus, meant you, understandably, couldn’t go to their house in person.
It’s a great location, the cottage is warm and very comfy, the animal feeding is great and the beach is amazing.

The cottage was very comfortable and feeding the lamas being an added bonus. The walks and beach are close making it nice to do anytime of the day or as the sun is going down. Would highly recommend.

"The cottage was lovely."
We have stayed before in the cottage next door, and this one for us is much better as it has sea views from the garden and a nice grassy area which was great for our dog. We loved sitting there looking out over the fields and animals and sea. Description of little to no phone signal and Wi-fi is correct. We could get the Wi-fi sat in the garden or the picnic benches in the courtyard.

"My family and I had a really lovely holiday over the Easter weekend."
Pheasant cottage is recently refurbished and is beautiful - clean, comfortable and stylish. The whole farm is so relaxed and welcoming and the sea views are beautiful. My boys loved feeding the farm animals and the owners were friendly, helpful and very welcoming. We walked down to the private beach a few times and spent a good few hours skimming stones, crabbing and fishing (no success, but fun anyway!) Close proximity to lots of lovely coves and the long sandy beach of Woolacombe. I would thoroughly recommend this cottage and would visit again. Thanks.

Couldn't have wished for better. Accommodation was spotless, bed was very comfy and Pleasant Cottage has the most fantastic views. We could happily have moved in and never gone back home. The animals on the grounds is great for young children with the added bonus of it's own little beach cove.

"This was a fabulous mini break in beautiful surroundings."
The accommodation is excellent and very comfortable (especially the beds!). The farm is in an ideal location for striking out across North Devon, although there is plenty to keep you occupied on the site too. The private beach is great and there are walks along the coastline.
We loved feeding the animals each morning (as well as collecting the eggs) and it was a real hit with our little boy. We booked Pheasant Cottage as the site seemed an ideal place to bring a toddler - which it was. Equally, it would be great for families with older children or adults too.
We'd have no hesitation in recommending Widmouth Farm Cottages. It was a warm welcome (complete with cream tea) and a wonderful stay. Everything is well thought through and the owners ensure a care-free stay. Bring your wellies!
