Just got home from a fantastic 4 night break at Widmouth Farm Cottages. We were greeted with a friendly welcome smile from both the hosts and a lovely cosy clean cottage. The farm is in a fantastic quiet location and even has its own private beach which is only a short walk away. It was great to listen to Jeremy... More

We first came here nearly 11 years ago and our three children (now aged 8,10 and 12) ask to return every year. Jeremy and Liz are the most welcoming hosts and the animal feeding sessions are a favourite with the children and myself!!Cottages are always comfortable and clean and the location takes our breath away even after all these years!!!!

We have spent the last three days in the Round Barn...and I can only echo the tremendous feedback already written here. We were made to feel very welcome and really enjoyed our break. Accom was good, location excellent, quietness loved, views stunning. Thanks both for a great stay and massive thanks from Anabel for the animal feeding...she loved it. More

We are so pleased that you enjoyed your stay so much and thank you for taking time to write a review. Of course you had timed your holiday just right to get the fantastic weather too. Sunshine and bottle fed lambs and spring flowers are hard to beat! We hope you will return!! More

For the first time we wanted to take our dogs on holiday with us, and had hunted around for child and dog friendly accomodation, and this is what we found. And we struck gold!! Jeremy and Elizabeth were very helpful on booking, and very welcoming when we arrived. It was great to have a welcome pack of tea and coffee,... More

Thank you so much for writing such a wonderful review! We are just delighted that the holiday worked so well for you. Regarding the black lamb, it is called "Inky" which means it will spend its life here (the ones without names do disappear around 6 months old as we are farmers) as it already seems to be quite a...

We have just returned back from a a half term staying The Round Barn at Widmouth Farm. I've signed up to trip advisor just to write a review about this wonderful place. Elizabeth and Jeremy offer a genuinely orginal holiday. I spent hours last week looking for a cottage suitable for us, our two friends, their son and our two... More

We are so pleased that you all enjoyed your holiday in February so much! We think it is a wonderful time of year with crisp, clear, sunny days most of the time and the snowdrops out and spring beginning. No more lambs yet, but the 7 we have are doing well and the rest should be born over the next... More

I would agree with the other reviewer on here who was a little disappointed with the accommodation.We found our cottage ('Robin') well equipped and clean but very small(even for two) and some of the furniture is a lttle dated and tired. However, the location makes up for everything with a short walk to the private beach and direct access to... More

Yes, you are right, our target markets are: families, dog walkers and people who want homely comfortable accommodation in the most breathtakingly beautiful setting. 10 of our properties are 3* graded and only one, Woodpecker Lodge, is more luxurious and 4* graded. All our 10 original properties are built circa 1800 or built on the foundations of old buildings, so... More

We stayed for 4 days in Partridge cottage for our first family holiday with our 2 young children. The cottage was warm and cosy with everything you need and more, including coal gas burner, books, board games, etc, etc. Cottage spotless and beds & furniture comfy. The location itself is absolutely magical, with a farm to wander about, a private... More

This place was recommended to us by friends who had stayed there previously, and we all returned this year. It is a fantastic place for children, with great on-site amenities like the play area where they quickly meet children their own age, and the large utility room which has games, jigsaws, beach equipment and ice cream!! Every morning except sundays... More

We spent a fairly rainy week in Pheasant cottage. The children (2 and 6) loved feeding the animals in the morning. Feeding alpacas and collecting eggs from ducks and chickens were particular favourites. The cottages have a small private beach (grey sand and rockpools) which was ideal for a quiet small-scale introduction to the seaside, and was perfect for building... More

So sorry about the 'faint aroma of dog'. It is sometimes difficult after a wet week to completely remove the 'scent' in the short time we have between 'check-out' and 'arrival'. However, if visitors only tell us, we will always come back whilst they are out and have another cleaning session, change rugs and replace them with clean ones, etc.... More
