Lower Whitsleigh Farm Cottage holiday let

08/05/2025

🌍🐴 Happy World Donkey Day 2025! 🐴🌍
Yes, it’s VE Day and it’s all about the ears today – because it’s World Donkey Day, and we’re braying with excitement here at Lower Whitsleigh Farm! 🎉

Did you know donkeys are not only incredibly smart, but also deeply emotional and sociable souls? 💛 At our holiday retreat, we don’t just love them – we care for them with the tailored attention they deserve.

✨ Meet our fabulous four:
🐴 Daphne – shy, sweet, and famous for braying once (then startling herself)!
🐴 Delilah – our early bird and the first to greet every guest with her cheerful charm.
🐴 Dave – Delilah’s cuddly son, an ear-tickle aficionado.
🐴 Roy – cheeky, sneaky, and partial to a wellie nibble. The joker of the gang!

They all LOVE ginger biscuits, head scratches, and basking in the field with you nearby. And yes – unlimited donkey cuddles come free with every stay! 🥰

📸 Do you have a donkey friend of your own?
Tag us in your favourite photos and tell us their name – we’d love to meet them!

💬 A little message from our donkeys:
"We can’t wait to meet you – we’ll be watching from the fence (or the gate… or your boots if you’re not looking). The hardest decision? Whether you stay in the cosy cottage next to us, the cabin on the lake, or the safari lodge with a view!"

Proud mum Chops here 👋 – just wanted to share that my little woolly wonders Squiggle & Sq**rt had their first big adventure today! 🍼✨

🐓🌾 Just the kind of feedback that makes our hearts full! ❤️

"What a fantastic place – great accommodation for us and the three kids and they loved careering around the fields, feeding the animals and collecting eggs. A perfect break in Devon – and the RHS gardens nearby were a super family day out. Thank you Andy and Sam for wonderful hospitality."

We absolutely loved hosting this lovely family and watching the little ones enjoy all the farm magic – from muddy wellies to fresh eggs in hand! 🐣✨

If you’re dreaming of a proper countryside escape with space to roam, animals to meet, and peaceful views all around… you know where we are. 🌿

✨ Just In: The Loveliest Review ✨
We were truly touched by these kind words from a gorgeous family who recently stayed in our Cabin Over the Lake 💛

"Andy and Sam were incredibly attentive hosts. They welcomed us so well and made sure we had all comforts for our stay. The cabin was so clean and comfortable. It is perfect for a family of 4 and our children absolutely loved the bedroom up the stairs to sleep in. The log burner kept the cabin lovely and warm and the kitchen is well equipped. We ordered a roast for our first evening and Sam’s cooking is exceptional. It’s a beautiful location with breathtaking views and we had a wonderful stay."

If this sounds like your kind of escape (log burners, lake views and home-cooked meals included)… why not come stay? 🌿🐾
