Widmouth Farm Cottages
“11 holiday cottages, some with private gardens, in an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty” - AA Inspector
ILFRACOMBE, DEVON
Our Inspector's view
Widmouth Farm Cottages lie between Ilfracombe and Combe Martin, the gateway to Exmoor, on the North Devon coast. Spectacular views overlook Watermouth Cove and 35 acres of headland and woodland on the Devon National Heritage Coastline. Located in an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, a private sandy beach is 500 yards from the cottages and a two-minute walk through the sheep fields. Regular visitors return to walk, fish, play golf, kayak, horse ride, sunbathe or simply relax in the peaceful setting. Animal feeding and handling sessions with the sheep, goats, aplacas, pigs, chickens and ducks are available. For the keen fisherman, it is the perfect place to find some hidden spots.

About the area
Discover Devon
With magnificent coastlines, two historic cities and the world-famous Dartmoor National Park, Devon sums up all that is best about the British landscape. For centuries it has been a fashionable and much loved holiday destination – especially south Devon’s glorious English Riviera.
Close to the English Riviera lies Dartmoor, one of the south-west’s most spectacular landscapes. The National Park, which contains Dartmoor, covers 365 square miles and includes many fascinating geological features – isolated granite tors and two summits exceeding 2,000 feet among them.
Not surprisingly, in Dartmoor the walking opportunities are enormous. Cycling in the two National Parks is also extremely popular and there is a good choice of off-road routes taking you to the heart of Dartmoor and Exmoor. Devon’s towns and cities offer stimulating alternatives to the rigours of the countryside.
