    “We had a wonderful four night stay.”

    The weather.....perfect The location..... wonderful access to private beach and the SW coastal path through the alpaca field. Either direction takes you on a wonderful walk to a nearby town. Very typical coastal towns, beaches aren't great but definitely worth a visit. Ice-cream, pasty and cream teas are a theme. The accommodation.... I think we choose a cottage that was to small for us. The listing states small but it's really is compact. To much furniture in the sitting area and this made it ...

    The weather.....perfect The location..... wonderful access to private beach and the SW coastal path through the alpaca field. Either direction takes you on a wonderful walk to a nearby town. Very typical coastal towns, beaches aren't great but definitely worth a visit. Ice-cream, pasty and cream teas are a theme. The accommodation.... I think we choose a cottage that was to small for us. The listing states small but it's really is compact. To much furniture in the sitting area and this made it difficult to navigate the kitchen. We had to move things around for it to work. Great bathroom and second bedroom. Main bedroom was actually a good size let down by a small bed. I'd rather have a normal double and no bedside tables, the pillows didn't fit on the bed and hung over onto the tables. Lots of cushions and niknaks to make it seem homely but could do with the owners re thinking a few things and it'd be much more customer friendly.

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, and chickens, provide a huge welcome to guests and their dog, who can enjoy a walk along the coast path or 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.

Ilfracombe's heritage harbour and quay are spectacular, with many pubs, shops and restaurants and frequent live music, creating a lively, friendly atmosphere. From here, take a wildlife cruise, a fishing trip or a boat trip to magical Lundy Island, a place of natural beauty, which will provide you with an unforgettable experience. Ilfracombe is the centre for some of the finest walking country in England. Whether you enjoy a gentle promenade walk around Capstone Hill, tackling the rugged coastal path or prefer the river valleys and tranquillity of the moorland hills of Exmoor, you will find the scenery spectacular. Ilfracombe also boasts a number of high-quality eateries, with local fish being prominent on their menus. To the east of Ilfracombe are the unique villages of Lynton and Lynmouth with its clifftop railway, and to the west lie the delights of Clovelly and Hartland. Moreover just a short drive away is the 3 mile long golden beach of Woolacombe Bay, which was been voted one of the top 20 beaches in the world, the perfect place to relax in the sun or catch some waves surfing. Ilfracombe is the perfect location for a North Devon holiday, offering you a gateway to an exciting blend of stunning coastal scenery, seaside fun, rural tranquillity and centuries of heritage and style.
