❤️ Four very special faces. Four very big welcomes! ❤️

One of the best things about staying at Lower Whitsleigh Farm? You don't have to go far to find a friendly face… or four!

Every time you step out of your door, these four lovely characters are waiting to say hello (and possibly check whether you've brought them a treat! 😉).

A little bit of countryside magic, a whole lot of donkey love and a welcome you won't find just anywhere. 🥰

Fancy a winter escape? We have lots of winter availability, so why not treat yourself to a cosy countryside break?

🎁 Or, if you're looking for a special gift for someone you love, why not give them a little escape to the countryside? Memories, fresh air and four very enthusiastic greeters included!

Come and meet the gang at Lower Whitsleigh Farm. We can't wait to welcome you!

🎄🐴 A LITTLE CHRISTMAS CHAT FROM THE ANIMALS AT LOWER WHITSLEIGH FARM… 🐷🐔

“Excuse me… have you heard? It's nearly Christmas!” 🫏

Daphne and Delilah have been chatting (as usual), the pigs are hoping for extra treats, and the hens are wondering whether anyone is bringing them Christmas dinner! 😂

Apparently, everyone's very keen to know who's coming to visit us this winter!

If you're planning to visit some of North Devon's lovely Christmas markets, why not make a little getaway of it and come and stay with us?

While you're out enjoying the festive stalls, picking up local goodies and eating far too many mince pies, we'll be here keeping the fires warm and the animals ready to say hello.

We've got three lovely places to choose from:

🏡 Our cosy, award-winning holiday cottage – perfect for snuggling up after a busy day.

🌲 Our safari lodge – a little countryside adventure with lovely views.

🌊 Our lakeside cabin – peaceful, tucked away and just perfect for a toasty evening watching the stars.

And of course, you'll have our rather friendly farm animals to keep you company. There are donkeys to fuss, pigs to say hello to and hens who are always busy doing… well, hen things! ❤️

🐷 RIGHT THEN… THE ANIMALS HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU!

Daphne wants to know…

“Would you rather curl up in the COTTAGE, have an adventure in the LODGE or escape to the CABIN by the lake?”

👇 Tell us in the comments!

🏡 COTTAGE
🌲 LODGE
🌊 CABIN

And while you're here, we'd love to know which North Devon Christmas market or festive event you're planning to visit this year. We're always happy to hear about lovely local events!

🐷 Sam & Andy are also out and about with North Devon Hog Roast over the festive season. If you fancy finding them (and something delicious to eat!), their upcoming dates are here:

https://northdevonhogroast.co.uk/takeaway-dates/

So come and support our lovely local businesses, enjoy everything North Devon has to offer and then escape to a little bit of peace and quiet here on the farm.

The animals are looking forward to meeting you… and Sam & Andy promise to behave themselves too! 😂

Lots of love from all of us (and four-legged friends) at Lower Whitsleigh Farm ❤️

🌿 A little bit of lovely news from our little corner of North Devon! 🌿

We're absolutely delighted to share that Lower Whitsleigh Farm has been awarded COMMENDED status in the Devon Tourism Awards 2026, in the Self Catering Accommodation of the Year category, sponsored by Quality in Tourism! ❤️

Although we didn't make the finalists this year, to receive this recognition from the judges means such a lot to us. We're a small family-run farm and our little holiday business is something we've built with lots of love, hard work and a real passion for sharing this beautiful part of Devon with others.

We'd also like to congratulate all the finalists in our category. There are some lovely accommodation businesses amongst them, and it's wonderful to see so many fantastic places being recognised across Devon.

For those who don't know us, we're Sam and Andy, and alongside running North Devon Hog Roast, we welcome guests to three unique holiday stays here at Lower Whitsleigh Farm in Winkleigh.

But we're perhaps a little different from your usual holiday accommodation!

We're tucked away in the peaceful North Devon countryside, surrounded by fields, wildlife and our lovely farm animals. It's somewhere to leave the everyday hustle and bustle behind, slow down, breathe in the fresh air and simply enjoy being somewhere a little quieter.

We have the most glorious night skies here too. With very little light pollution, on a clear night you can see an incredible blanket of stars. There's something rather special about sitting outside, looking up and taking a moment to appreciate just how beautiful the simple things can be. ✨

And if you fancy a little stroll, we even have a lovely local pub within walking distance – perfect for a relaxed evening without having to jump back in the car!

Of course, no introduction to Lower Whitsleigh Farm would be complete without mentioning our other residents...

🐴 Our horses
🫏 The donkeys
🐑 The sheep
🐔 The chickens
🐷 And, of course, our Kune Kune pig!

We're sure they'd all like to say a little something too...

"Well, we think our guests are rather lovely, especially when they stop to say hello! We're very proud of our little patch of Devon and think everyone deserves a bit of peace, fresh air and a lovely starry sky now and again. We look forward to meeting you!"

Lots of love, the gang at Lower Whitsleigh Farm 🐾

We'd like to say a huge thank you to the Devon Tourism Awards judges for recognising what we're doing, and to every single guest who has stayed with us, recommended us, left us a lovely review or supported our little business.

It really does mean the world to us.

Here's to many more happy guests, peaceful stays and wonderful North Devon sunsets (and starry skies!).

It's reviews like this that make us smile! 🤎

We loved welcoming our guests to our Luxury Safari Lodge for a little autumn getaway at the end of October.

A couple of nights away from the hustle and bustle, cosy evenings watching films, popcorn, a lovely fire and snuggling up under the electric blankets. It sounds like they made the most of their little escape! 🍿🔥

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. It was a pleasure having you stay, and we're so pleased you enjoyed the peace and quiet of our little corner of North Devon.

And thank you for your kind words – they really do mean a lot to us. ❤️

If you're dreaming of a little getaway of your own, our Luxury Safari Lodge is tucked away in its own private field here on our family farm at Lower Whitsleigh Farm.

A little peace, a little fresh air and time to simply slow down.

We'd love to welcome you!

🎃🐔 A little post-Halloween fun down on the farm! 🧡

Who knew pumpkins could be so much fun?! Our lovely girls at Lower Whitsleigh Farm have been making the most of Halloween, tucking into their very own pumpkin treats! 🐓🎃

We absolutely love seeing our hens enjoying their best lives. Every one of our chickens is a rescue, rehomed through the wonderful British Hen Welfare Trust. It's so rewarding watching them flourish, scratch, explore and enjoy all the little things in life. ❤️

And the best bit? You can come and meet them too!

🌿 Book your stay at Lower Whitsleigh Farm, escape to the countryside, meet our wonderful rescued hens and say hello to all the other animals who call our farm home.

Come for the getaway, stay for the animals! 🐐🐑🐓

A big spooky hello, a few cheeky grins and lots of love from our very own farmyard gang! 🧡🐴🐑
