Lower Whitsleigh Farm Cottage can cater for everyone, romantic couples, families with children, groups of friends, extended families and older people. We are dog friendly and welcome you to bring your dogs with you so they can enjoy the beautiful countryside with you. The spacious barn has been beautifully converted – a log burner, exposed beams and glimpses of the underlying stonework give a very rustic, cosy feel. Stair gates are fitted and cots and highchairs are available on request (no extra charge).
Located in rural North Devon, Lower Whitsleigh Farm is quite literally, at the end of the road! It is in exceptionally beautiful surroundings, with wonderful walks, beautiful sunsets and endless views. There is no through traffic, just countryside, sweeping views, tranquillity, seclusion and, at night, extraordinarily mesmerising starlit skies. We also have an abundance of natural wildlife to observe.
The main bedroom has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beams and Velux windows giving the room a bright and airy feel. Along with the king-size bed, there’s a comfy armchair and a cupboard with hangers to hang all your clothes. The bedroom windows overlook the countryside giving you wonderful views every morning. We can also provide you with a travel cot if you are staying with little ones.
The 2nd bedroom has 2 single beds. The vaulted beamed ceiling with Velor windows provides plenty of natural lighting throughout the day and there is a comfortable sofa to relax on and a cupboard with hangers to hold all your clothes.
The 3rd bedroom has a single bed with high ceilings and plenty of natural light through the Velor roof window. There is cupboard for your clothes and a bedside cabinet with a reading light. We have a travel cot available if needed.
The spacious downstairs has a fully fitted kitchen with dishwasher, oven, microwave, hob and fridge with a full set of crockery, cutlery, pots and pans. In short, everything you could possibly need to make anything from beans on toast to a full Christmas dinner! The dining table comfortably seats six and should you require any cleaning items these can be found in the cupboard with the wooden doors. We also have a large utility room with washing machine, ironing board, highchair & downstairs shower, ideal after a long day out at the beach or moors if muddy. If you have little one’s we have a highchair stored in this room.
After a day exploring the local countryside and beaches, you can return to the cottage and relax in the cosy rustic lounge. The lounge has comfortable settees to sit back and watch TV or DVD’s but if you’re looking for something quieter we have a wide selection of books to read and lots of board games for you to enjoy. In the winter we have a charming woodburning fireplace for you to sit back and unwind watching the flames flicker the night.
The upstairs bathroom is bright & airy and has a bath, shower, toilet and a pedestal washbasin. Everything you need to keep clean! The bathrooms Velor windows overlook the beautiful open countryside. Towels are provided for the cottage but we do ask that you bring your own towels if you are going to the beach or swimming. We also have a downstairs shower in the utility room which is great for when you return from long walks.
Private & secluded enclosed seating area, looking out to countryside, which is perfect for enjoying a drink as the sun sets. The patio is large and has table and chairs, attractive planting and its neighbours Daphne & Delilah (rescue donkeys) often poke their heads over the wall! It enjoys the sun all afternoon and into the evening and has a separate private parking area for up to 3 cars. Ample parking for more cars is available if required.
The Games room handy for a wet day! Is adjacent to the property and features a full size table tennis table, sofa to relax on and a dartboard.
Please feel free to roam around the surrounding countryside, the barn is set in 17 acres and we welcome guests and their dogs to explore. We also encourage our guests to interact with our resident animals, all of whom love attention – let us know if you or little ones would like to help with feeding or grooming.
We are Dog Friendly! Being situated in one of North Devon’s finest rural and coastal areas, our cottage is popular with those who enjoy walking holidays and who wish to bring a four legged friend. What could be better than starting each day of your holiday with a dash down to the bottom field and a splash about in the river?
We have a dog ourselves and we want you and your dog/s to have as much fun on holiday as we have with our own. It’s time for them to get uninterrupted time with you and at the same time enjoy all that the moorland and coast has to offer.
We know where most of the dog-friendly beaches are so ask us when you get here and we’ll point you in the right direction. One of our favourites is Saunton Sands which is a haven for dogs and where you’re sure to meet a lot of four legged friends!
Most of Devon’s open spaces are dog friendly and there are lots of places to walk dogs. We are equal distance between the moors and the north coast – all offer a huge variety of stunning walks for you and your dog. The majority of shops, pubs and holiday attractions also welcome dogs.
If you have a larger group that would like to stay with us at Lower Whitsleigh Farm, why not hire out both the cottage and the glamping lodge? We can also allow for additional tents to be pitched on the fields should you require it.
