“Fancy a few nights here?”

Another lovely review from a recent family staying with us at Lower Whitsleigh Farm.

We’re so pleased Mary and her family enjoyed the peace, space and beautiful views from our Safari Lodge, and especially getting to meet and feed our donkeys.

“Lower Whitsleigh Farm is an absolute gem!”

We’re very lucky to be in such a peaceful spot, with plenty of space to relax, beautiful countryside all around and, on a clear night, the most amazing starry skies with very little light pollution. And if you fancy heading out for a meal, the fabulous New Inn in Roborough is just a lovely walk away.

Thank you so much Mary for taking the time to leave us such a lovely review. It really does mean a lot to us.

We have three different stays here at Lower Whitsleigh Farm – our Safari Lodge, Oak Cabin on the Lake and Farm Cottage.

All of which are dog friendly!

To check availability or book, just get in touch with us directly:

One of those reviews that makes us feel incredibly lucky to do what we do.

Matthew and his family recently stayed with us in the safari lodge, and his little girl described it as the “best place she has ever stayed”. We honestly couldn’t ask for a better compliment.

Here’s what Matthew had to say:

5 stars

“What can we say, in the words of our little girl ‘best place she has ever stayed’. It exceeded all our expectations and we had a wonderful week in this beautiful location with excellent hosts. Thank you Andy and Sam for all your hospitality and thank you for being so wonderful to the children who loved the animals. Definitely core memories made and we can’t wait to come back again!! We loved the tent and especially all the attention to detail.”

This is exactly what we hope people take away from staying here. Time away from everyday life, fresh air, animals, beautiful countryside and, hopefully, a few memories that stay with you long after you’ve gone home.

We love welcoming families from near and far, but we also love reminding local people that you don’t have to travel miles to feel like you’ve had a proper break.

So if you’ve been thinking about a little North Devon escape, maybe this is your sign.

Thank you again, Matthew and family. We really hope to see you all again.

Happy weekend from Lower Whitsleigh Farm!

Fancy a little break surrounded by donkeys, countryside and more smiles than you can shake a carrot at?

Come for the peace and quiet, stay for the unlimited donkey cuddles, brushing and fuss… and don’t forget the carrots and ginger nuts!

Then, when night falls, look up at some of the most fabulous starry skies, with hardly any light pollution to spoil the view.

Donkeys, dark skies and a proper Devon escape… what’s not to love?

Book your stay and come meet Daphne, Delilah, Roy & Dave.

Another lovely review through today ❤️ These really do mean so much to us, especially when we know guests have enjoyed their time here as much as we enjoy having them.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

"We had a fantastic few days at the cabin on Lower Whitsleigh Farm. Andy and Sam were brilliant hosts: friendly, welcoming and kind. It's such a stunning location and the cabin was really well equipped and an amazingly peaceful place to relax. The surrounding area has so many things to do; the whole family (4 year old, 9 year old and dog) had a great time. We thoroughly enjoyed the daily animal feeding at 8am - both kids loved it! Thank you for such a wonderful stay. We'll definitely be back!"

Thank you so much Matt, Sophie, Amelie, Leila and Luna 🐾 for choosing to stay with us and for taking the time to leave such a lovely review.

We’re so pleased you all had a great few days — and we’re especially glad Luna enjoyed her holiday too! 🐶❤️

It was lovely having you here and we really hope we get to welcome you all back to Lower Whitsleigh Farm sometime in the future.

⚽️ THE FOOTBALL SEASON HAS LANDED AT LOWER WHITSLEIGH FARM!⚽️

It’s all getting a bit serious down here in North Devon…

This afternoon we caught Roy & Dave going head-to-head in what can only be described as a very competitive pre-season friendly. ⚽️

Roy came out strong.

Dave wasn’t giving an inch.

And lurking behind them were Daphne & Delilah, apparently taking their defensive duties very seriously… although we suspect they were actually just waiting to see if anyone had brought carrots. 😂🥕

There was a fair bit of running, a lot of kicking, absolutely no understanding of the offside rule and, thankfully, no VAR required.

We’re not saying Roy is the Messi of the donkey world… but we’re also not saying he isn’t. 😉

If all this donkey football has made you fancy a bit of proper Devon downtime, why not come and stay with us?

At Lower Whitsleigh Farm, you get 17 acres of peaceful North Devon countryside, our lovely animals right on your doorstep, plenty of space to explore, beautiful walks, gorgeous sunsets and the chance to join us for the morning animal feed. 🐴🐷🐔

Our award-winning holiday cottage sleeps up to 5, our luxury glamping lodge sleeps up to 6, or our cabin on an island overhanging the lake all hand crafted out of oak trees sleeps 4— and you can even bring the dogs. 🐾

It’s the sort of place where the children can get properly muddy, the grown-ups can switch off, and nobody needs to know the football score… unless Roy has been playing. 😂

🌿 “A great place to enjoy the views with a book and glass of w**e.” 🍷📖

A lovely review just in from Amanda, who spent 6 nights with us in our Luxury Safari Lodge — and we think she’s summed up the magic of a stay here rather beautifully. ❤️

“What a lovely place to relax, unwind and discover North Devon. Andy was a great host and we loved meeting the resident animals. There is lots to do nearby and it’s also a great place to enjoy the views with a book and glass of w**e.”

Thank you so much, Amanda. It was an absolute pleasure having you stay with us, and we’re so pleased you enjoyed the lodge, the animals and the beautiful North Devon countryside. 🥰

And that last bit… a book, a glass of w**e and those views — sounds like a pretty perfect way to spend an afternoon to us! 🍷🌿

If you’re looking for somewhere to switch off, slow down and enjoy a little bit of North Devon magic, our Safari Lodge is waiting. 🦋🌳

📖 Bring your favourite book
🍷 Bring your favourite bottle
🐑 Come and meet the animals
🌿 And let us take care of the rest.

🌿 A little bit of love from our guests…

We’ve been looking back through some of the lovely reviews our guests have left us recently, and honestly, they’ve made us smile. ❤️

It seems that what people love most about Lower Whitsleigh Farm is the combination of a beautiful place to stay, the peace and quiet, our animals… and simply having the space to slow down and enjoy being together.

Here are just a few of the things our guests have said recently:

✨ “What a lovely place to relax, unwind and discover North Devon.”

🐑 “We loved meeting the resident animals.”

🌿 “The location was stunning and we had plenty of privacy.”

🐴 “Our daughter was up to feed the animals with Andy every morning and particularly loved Vinnie the pig.”

📖 “A great place to enjoy the views with a book and glass of w**e.”

❤️ “Andy and Sam were excellent hosts. Lots to do locally too. We would highly recommend!”

🏡 “The cottage was beautiful and well looked after.”

🌊 “We’ve had the most relaxing little break at the lake cabin – it’s been so peaceful.”

⛺ “It really was the very top end of glamping!”

👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 “The kids loved being out in the open, freely playing and exploring.”

And perhaps one of our favourites…

⭐ “Absolutely ten out of ten… Devon’s best kept secret!”

We’re incredibly lucky to have three very different places to stay here at the farm:

🏡 Our award-winning cottage
🌿 Our private Luxury Safari Lodge with far-reaching countryside views
🌊 Our Cabin on the Lake, perched right over the water

Whether you’re looking for a family adventure, a peaceful escape, a little bit of luxury or simply somewhere to switch off for a few days, there’s something rather special about staying here.

And of course, there are the animals to meet too. 🐷🐴🐑

Thank you so much to everyone who has stayed with us, taken the time to leave a review and shared such lovely words. It genuinely means a lot to us.

If you’ve been thinking about coming to stay… perhaps it’s time to make that little North Devon escape happen. 🌿

We’d love to welcome you to Lower Whitsleigh Farm.

“A Little Bit of Magic” guest-review post and “A little kid’s DREAM…” ✨

“The upstairs nook is a little kid’s DREAM — I’d imagine it’s like a magic den for a four year old!”

— Julie, August 2026 🤍

🌿 A lovely review just in from Julie, who stayed with us for three nights in our Cabin on the Lake…

“Andy is the loveliest host and the farm offerings (feeding the amazing animals) are such a lovely value add — our one year old loved it! The cabin is so sweet and the upstairs nook is a little kid’s DREAM — I’d imagine it’s like a magic den for a four year old!”

This is exactly why we love welcoming families to the farm.

From meeting and feeding the animals to discovering secret little corners of the cabin, we love creating stays where there’s something magical for everyone — especially the little ones. 🐑🐐🐓

Thank you so much for staying with us, Julie. We’re delighted you enjoyed your three nights by the lake. 💚

And yes… we think that little upstairs nook might just be a bit magical. ✨

VINNIE IS A KUEHNE PIG! 🐷❤️
Apparently, I was the star of the stay…

⭐ 5-STAR REVIEW FROM ALAN
“We had a great time staying in the log cabin. The location was stunning and we had plenty of privacy. Our daughter was up to feed the animals with Andy every morning and particularly loved Vinnie the pig.

A great break to truly get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life.”

💌 A little message from Vinnie:
“Oink oink! Thank you, Alan! I loved having your family come to visit me… although I think we can all agree I was the real reason for the 5 stars! 🐷😂 Come back soon — I’ll be waiting for my breakfast!”

🌞🌙 ECLIPSE EXCITEMENT AT LOWER WHITSLEIGH FARM! 🌙🌞

Hello humans! 👋

We’ve heard there’s something very exciting happening in the sky tonight… apparently the sun is going to disappear! 🌞🌚

We’re not entirely sure what that means, but obviously we have some very important thoughts on the matter…

Daphne & Delilah, our rescue donkeys, would like everyone to know that they saw it coming first. They haven’t, but they would like you to think they did.

Dave & Roy, the young donkeys, have decided that if it gets dark earlier then bedtime should definitely be earlier too. And obviously earlier bedtime means extra dinner. They’ve been very clear about this.

🐴 Joe & Ferdie, our horses, are taking the whole thing in their stride. They’ve had a quick look at the sky and decided they’ll worry about it after they’ve finished eating.

🐔 The ex-battery hens are slightly concerned that someone might forget to put them to bed if it gets dark. They would like to remind you that they have VERY specific bedtime arrangements.

🐶 The labradors, are approaching the situation sensibly and is waiting to see whether anyone drops a biscuit.

🐷 The pigs have heard there is something happening tonight and have immediately assumed it involves food. They are not disappointed.

🐑 The sheep have no idea what’s going on. They’re just following whoever looks like they know where they’re going. 😂

And the rest of us rescued animals? Well… we’re simply hoping the humans remember that an eclipse is no excuse for being late with dinner! 😂

We’re very excited to see what all the fuss is about tonight and will be watching the skies from Lower Whitsleigh Farm.

If you’re visiting us, come and say hello — we’d love to meet you! ❤️

Lots of love (and probably a few demands for treats),

Daphne, Delilah, Dave, Roy, Joe, Ferdie, Rufus, Daisy, the hens, pigs, sheep and all the rest of us!❤️
