🌿✨ A Magical 10-Night Stay at Our Cabin on the Lake! ✨🌿

We absolutely love welcoming guests to our secluded lakeside hideaway — and so do the donkeys, sheep, pigs, and chickens who all enjoy a bit of friendly fuss! 🐾💚

Here’s a recent review from the wonderful Jane, who stayed with us for 10 days:

"Extremely helpful and friendly hosts who respected our privacy but we knew they were there if need be. The cabin has so much character. The beds were comfy and the upstairs area is a fab addition. With a very nice, powerful shower and well equipped kitchen, it is extremely homely. The outdoor area overlooking the pond was super for relaxing and full of wildlife. We spotted grey herons, owls, buzzards, song thrush, skylarks and many more small birds along with the deer. Perfectly situated for country walks from the cabin door and also a nice shaded section of the Tarka Trail only 10 mins drive away. Positioned very close to RHS Rosemoor and for exploring along the coast too. We can highly recommend Sam & Andy and their fab cabin for a super stay."

Ready to unplug, unwind, and wake to birdsong over the water? 🌅🌿

What a lovely review – thank you Kellen! 🐾❤️

It was such a pleasure to host you both (and your gorgeous little pup!) recently at the Lower Whitsleigh Farm Cabin. We're so thrilled you enjoyed a peaceful break and that your pup discovered a new love for swimming — what a joy to watch!

We're so lucky to have such wonderful guests and it means the world to us when people take the time to share kind words like these:

“The cabin itself is absolutely stunning and very homely, the indoor fire being an added bonus! The surrounding water was perfect to keep the puppy entertained… The hosts Sam and Andy are amazing and so welcoming… Cannot recommend this place enough!!”

If you’re looking for a cosy countryside escape — whether it’s just the two of you or you’re bringing a four-legged friend — our off-grid cabin is the perfect place to switch off and relax.

🌿 Log burner
🌿 Private waterside setting
🌿 Beautiful walks right from the door
🌿 Dog-friendly & full of charm

📅 Dates for summer and autumn are booking up fast — we’d love to welcome you too!

🐾 DOGS STAY FREE at Lower Whitsleigh Farm! 🐾
We absolutely love welcoming guests with four paws – and it’s always such a joy to hear when they’ve had just as good a time as their humans! 🐶💚

Here’s a recent 5⭐️ review from Elizabeth Bodkin, who stayed in our Cabin on the Lake with her two happy pups:

“We absolutely loved our stay on the cabin on the lake. It was so private and we had everything we could have needed for our 2 night stay. It was pure bliss.
The location was incredible, the local area is gorgeous and we were able to explore not only the farm but the surrounding areas. We took our 2 dogs and they were incredibly happy, the garden surrounding the cabin was safe for them both to explore and felt very safe. We couldn’t recommend the stay enough, Andy and Sam were so kind and friendly. Thank you so much for having us. We honestly had the best weekend.”

We’re so glad you had a blissful weekend, Elizabeth – and thank you for such kind words 💫

If you’re dreaming of a peaceful countryside escape where your dogs can run free, explore safely, and be just as welcome as you are – this is the place.
No extra charges, no kennels – just wagging tails, open green spaces, woods, rivers and open skies.
