It’s an excellent area of the country to visit for a holiday, with plenty of attractions for the family to see and do.

Widmouth Farm Cottages are a small set of cottages based on a farm on the North Devon Coast, sleeping from 2 to 6 adults in each individual cottage. Ideal for a romantic getaway for a couple, or perfect to hire a few of the cottages together for a larger group break! Nearby are the theme park of Watermouth Castle, Exmoor Zoo, Exmoor Steam Railway and the wildlife and dinosaur park. The scenery is magnificent and because of this the area welcomes bird watchers and painters and for the sporting holiday maker, activities including sea fishing and golfing opportunities are near by – that should be enough to keep all members of the family happy and entertained one way or another for a week or two!
The self catering cottages have been carefully converted from various barns and workers’ cottages that date back around 200 years. They are ideally situated on the owners’ 35 acres of property, with part of the well known 180 mile Tarka Trail coastal footpath running around the border of the property. This makes it an excellent opportunity for walkers and ramblers to explore Exmoor and the North Devonshire coastline.
Out of the cottages, Wren Cottage is the smallest of the cottages with one double bedroom and benefiting from sea views. Three of the cottages, Kingfisher Cottage, Swallow Cottage and The Round Barn are all slightly larger, sleeping up to 4 people, all having a double bedroom and a twin bedroom accommodation, although Kingfisher Cottage can also have a divan to accommodate an extra person if required.
