  I’ve just got back from a few days away at Widmouth Farm Cottages and can truthfully say this is one of the nicest, cleanest and most peaceful places I’ve ever stayed.

  The cottages are all laid out within a large courtyard area, with picnic benches and private gardens. I booked Robin but was very kindly upgraded to Swallow and when I walked in, I was not disappointed. First impression was that it was beautifully decorated with modern furniture and soft furnishings. It was spotlessly clean from top to bottom and very welcoming. The kitchen area is very well stocked and the bathroom is well appointed with a nice big walk in shower. The bedrooms were again spotlessly clean with crisp, fresh sheets and lovely soft furnishings, throws and cushions. Walking out of the cottage into my own front garden with furniture, out into the larger courtyard towards the animal enclosure, I didn’t see much of them while I was here, but I took a walk down the field, on the mowed path to the private beach. It’s quite steep and a little rocky but that’s the Devon coast for you. The beach is lovely and quiet and I could see Watermouth bay from where I stood on the shore. I have nothing negative or neutral to say about this place, it’s all positive. Turning right out of the cottages and a couple of miles later, you come across Hele Bay, which is a lovely little inlet cove. I had a pasty and coffee at the cafe there and found a comfy place to soak up the sun and read. I spent several days at Woolacombe, and visited my favourite food outlet, S&P Fish Shop in Ilfracombe harbour, where I bought a delicious crab sandwich, which I took to Woolacombe and sat on the beach watching the tide come in. Widmouth Farm is beautifully kept outside too, grass neatly mowed, planters full and the courtyards all swept and clean. The helpful utility room gives you washing machine and dryer, and there’s also a basket full of bagged animal feed, at 40p/bag and there’s an honesty box next to it to pay for these. There’s also a boot wash area for ramblers. Just lovely. Thank you, Bethany and family for this wonderful and peaceful little haven. I very much hope to return!

  It turns out we were the first guests to stay in Molly Muppet and what a pleasure it was! It's a gorgeous little cottage, and it is little, but an absolute gem of a place to stay. It is hidden away amongst the houses but has a surprisingly large private garden and is still only a stone's throw from the harbour and the hub of the beautiful village of Mousehole. My husband and I investigated the surrounding areas and there is so much to see and do and so many great places to eat, but it was always a pleasure to come back to Molly Muppet. We particularly enjoyed lazy days of relaxing in the garden, wandering around the village and cosy nights in front of the wood burner. Perfect! The owner has thought of absolutely everything and has done a spectacular job. The cottage is brilliantly equipped and beautifully decorated with so many lovely personal touches. It has obviously been a labour of love. The owner is lovely. So welcoming, helpful and reassuringly relaxed. After a long journey to get there it was great to have a few thoughtful supplies to get us started. Staying in Molly Muppet is a bit like playing house for grown ups but in the best possible way. We couldn't recommend it more highly. Thank you for an absolutely brilliant week, we will be back!! Can't wait!

  We have just enjoyed a wonderful week at Swallow Cottage.

  Widmouth Farm has it all. From the approach down the drive to the parking area then onto the cottage everything was very well presented. The cottage was immaculate with no issues to report. The beds were comfortable and the outside area a bonus on a warm evening. The cottage is well equipped with everything you will need for an enjoyable stay. The dog exercise area was well looked after as was the rest of the farm. When I say farm it should really read ‘“Estate” as this is one very clean farm. The animals are all friendly and very relaxed around people and dogs. The beach is a wonderful place to spend time if you want to relax with the only noise being the waves. We were pleased to have sat where the Enid Blyton film Five on a Treasure island adaptation had been filmed in 1995. You can walk to Ilfracombe along the coastal path which takes around 2 hours at a slow pace. A great location with wonderful cottage to use as a base for exploring the area.

  Such an amazing little cottage! Peachy has used the space so well it's incredible. We cooked most nights and found everything we needed either hanging up, or in the pantry. Used the log burner every night for cosy winter warmth. The bed is super comfy and the hangers/underbed drawers are a great space saving idea, and so easy to use I might steal the idea for home! The garden is lovely too, though we were there in winter so would love to see it in summer. The village/harbour is just a few steps away through Duck Street. Lovely Sunday roast at the Ship. The conservatory in the Coastguard is perfect on a rainy winter day for admiring the sea from afar. 2 Fore Street does lovely food, and we can recommend the Hole Foods Deli for a hot chocolate! We had a great week and were very sad to come home.

  We’ve had a lovely 2 night break in Willow lodge.

  The lodge itself has everything you could need and is immaculately clean. The beds were very comfortable and the water pressure and temperature in the showers was great. Fresh towels and crisp bedding provided. The location is fantastic, a couple of miles from the centre of Whitby and a short walk to a great pub. There is a park and ride and petrol station close by. We really enjoyed the hot tub, which again was immaculately clean and set to a great temperature for arrival. A clothes horse or retracing line to hang wet towels would be useful, also additional hot tub towels. We brought our own so not an issue for us. Not a negative, just some feedback which may help the owners keep the lodge in its best condition. We will definitely return…this place is a real gem!!
