Why not escape the festive frenzy and book a holiday at Widmouth Farm Cottages? VERY SPECIAL prices for holidays before 19th December or come and celebrate Christmas and New Year in North Devon – we’ve still some availability. There’s nothing like a bracing walk along our stunning coastline or across beautiful Exmoor for working up an appetite for yummy festive food!

Congratulations to everyone on Exmoor who has worked so hard to gain this recognition!  We hope all our visitors will really appreciate Exmoor’s dark, starry skies!  Here is what it means:

“Definition of Dark Sky Reserve:: a public or private land possessing an exceptional or distinguished quality of starry nights and nocturnal environment that is specifically protected for its scientific, natural, educational, cultural, heritage and/or public enjoyment mission of a large peripheral area. The International Dark Sky Reserve consists of a core area meeting the minimum criteria for sky quality and natural darkness, and a peripheral area that supports dark sky values in the core and receives benefits from them as well. The International Dark Sky Reserve is formed through a partnership of multiple land owners and/or administrators that have recognized the value of the starry night through regulation and/or formal agreement and/or long term planning.”

We are delighted to say we have been awarded GOLD by the GTBS for the second time! As our ecological awareness & knowledge increases as a nation, the criteria for the Green Tourism Business Scheme Awards change, so we are particularly pleased to feel we have moved abreast of the times!

Beamish the black lab Beamish really wanted to paddle!

It’s not only people with  mobility problems that enjoy Widmouth Beach!  Beamish just loved his time here even though he couldn’t go in swimming….  Hopefully he’ll make up for that when he returns next year.
