This was our fourth trip to Widmouth Farm and it never disappoints. From the moment we arrive and see the breathtaking views of the farm's beach and coastline we know we are on holiday. We stayed in Woodpecker Lodge which is perfect for our family of 2 adults, 4 children and Granny! It is well equipped and there is a... More

We value all our guests, but when people come back year after year as you do it makes it even more worthwhile and rewarding for us. We enjoy seeing your children grow and develop and it is fun realising what they remember from the previous year and how much they still want to learn. Thank you for posting your review... More

Our 5th year here, Widmouth Farm has become our children's favourite holiday. Spectacular setting, cosy cottages, coastal path walks, private beach and animals. I don't think you could ever be bored here. As always, Liz and Jeremy are excellent hosts and a mine of information. We love it here and we've booked again for next year :-D

There is something magical about this place - incredible location, cosy cottages, adorable farm animals, warm hospitality. Usually, with so many places in the country let alone world to visit, I tend to only visit places once and then look for somewhere else next year. However, we've visited Widmouth Farm twice now and both times I've come away feeling thoroughly... More

Easy to find accommodation on north devon coast. Property is furnished in a way that makes it seem like you are visiting grandma for a cosy holiday. Owners are very welcoming and even left a supper in cottage for first night. Cottage had everything you could ask for in a holiday let. Good alu and well worth a visit.

We had a wonderful time at Widmouth Farm, 2 adults and a baby stayed in Kestrel Cottage which was lovely and cosy with room for more. We saw Jeremy every day tending to his lambs and goats right outside our window, he was very friendly and told us lots about all the animals which he is clearly very passionate about.... More

We are delighted you enjoyed your February holiday when the weather was decidedly 'crisp'! We always think Spring is a vastly under-rated time of year for a really relaxing holiday giving a chance to enjoy the natural beauty of the countryside without any crowds or traffic jams. We hope to see you again and thank you for taking time to... More

This was our second visit here, and again we had a brilliant time. Two adults, 3 kids and two big dogs can be a bit daunting, but Jeremy and Elizabeth made us more than welcome again. The cottage was lovely, and contained everything we needed to survive the week! The only thing we brought with us was a slow cooker,... More

Had a weekend away with the dogs and friends with dogs, we were all put into three cottages connected, humans and dogs had a whale of a time, great location, made very welcome by owners who also welcomed the dogs, 5 in total. Other places we inquired to made us feel a little uncomfortable with so many dogs. Girls even... More

Thank you so much for your lovely review. Sorry we just missed the top mark for cleanliness but we are now in the midst of spring cleaning and renovations prior to the Easter 2013 arrivals and that will ensure we get rid of any cobwebs etc. We always make special efforts when cottages have had dogs present too.

Enjoyable holiday with family. Excellent location. The granddaughters loved the animals and play facilities. I enjoyed swimming at the cove while the children played on the beach. Facilities ok to good - one or two very minor niggles but nothing, I'm sure, that isn't in the process of being dealt with. Thank you for a peasant stay in a lovely... More

Thank you so much for your fabulous review. We are so glad that you were so happy with your choice of holiday! Regarding the key, we have plenty of keys for each cottage andusually do leave 2 available on arrival - sorry for the oversight - but thank you for bunking down with your friends and not waking us up...
