Daphne (brown and white) & Delilah (hairier grey one) are both rescues from the Donkey sanctuary in Sidmouth. They have been with us since 2014, moving down from Essex in 2018. They are still quite young (Donkeys live up to around 60 years), estimated to have been born in 2012. Both are very friendly, gentle and love attention. They are very inquisitive and you’ll find two noses over your wall if you are outside! Feel free to pet them or go into the field with them but, as with any animal, please be careful around them and avoid approaching from behind or quick movements / loud noises which may spook them. Both adore the odd carrot, apple and their absolute favourite things are ginger biscuits, but please, not too much and mind fingers! They get very territorial with regards to dogs, so please keep pets out of their field.
Come and meet our Tamworth pigs, mischievous and playful they love nothing more than a tummy tickle!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Andy’s warm and cosy cottage, surrounded by hills, farmland and beautiful views. We particularly liked getting up in the morning to help... read more Andy feed the pet lambs, donkeys and chickens. We highly recommend it and would definitely visit again.
The farm cottage is lovely with beautiful quality rustic wooden furniture and I loved the doors! There was plenty of space for all of the family inside and out. We... read more loved relaxing on the patio from where the donkeys provided endless entertainment. And every so often a sheep or horse might appear in the mix. Andy and Sam were super friendly and available and had recommendations for days out. We enjoyed beaches and body-boarding in the day and did a taster of the South West Way.
Thanks for a fun stay!
Andy and Sam are exceptional hosts. The cottage is beautiful, sat in the middle of gorgeous Devon countryside. They are very friendly and welcoming hosts, and our children loved feeding... read more the farm animals each morning.
We had booked very last minute, yet there was no stress and even the offer of bacon, eggs and sausages in the fridge on arrival. The cottage is large and tastefully designed with all the utensils you'd need.
Easy travel to places like Clovelly, Appledore and Instow. A bit further for Dartmoor and Exmoor but a very central location for lots of destinations. Highly recommended.
We’ve just gotten back from a lovely holiday on Andy’s Farm. Andy was very friendly, informative on his lovely animals and always on hand if we needed anything. The cottage... read more was beautiful, clean and comfortable.
Thank you for such a great stay! We will be back!
We had the best time. Lots of recommendations given (but we weren’t staying long enough unfortunately). The time we spent at the property was perfect. We had the resident... read more donkeys and horses right next to us, and were even allowed to help feed the lambs that they’re currently fostering. Hosts were super friendly, their pet dogs were really gorgeous too - joined us for our morning coffee outside for plenty of cuddles. Thanks so much for hosting our friends reunion - we couldn’t have asked for a better place!
We had a great short stay at Lower Whitsleigh Farm in their lovely cottage. Very comfortable and spacious for our family of 4. Sam & Andy were very welcoming... read more and free with their advice on places to go and things to see. We met all the horses and lambs and had a chat with them as they stuck their heads over the stable wall most days! The farm is in beautiful countryside with great beaches and towns nearby. Highlights; Saunton sands, Hartland quay, Appledore & Northam Burrows. Didn't make it to Clovelly, next time! Great stay, thanks S & A.
We had a great time here. Andy and Sam were very helpful when we needed extra things like ketchup for the kids ????
They loved going out to help... read more with the animals in the morning.
Looking forward to booking again
