Lower Whitsleigh Farm Cottage holiday let

31/10/2026

🎃👻 HAPPY HALLOWEEN FROM ALL OF US AT LOWER WHITSLEIGH FARM!

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

Daphne, Delilah, Roy and Dave have been busy practising their best Halloween faces… although we're not entirely sure they're looking scary enough! 😂❤️

Whether you're celebrating with pumpkins, trick or treating, cosy evenings or a few Halloween goodies, we hope your day is filled with plenty of smiles, laughter and a little magic! 🎃🧙‍♀️

There's never a dull moment here at Lower Whitsleigh Farm, and our lovely animals certainly know how to put a smile on everyone's face. They're a very special part of what makes our little corner of the countryside so unique.

To all our wonderful past, present and future holiday guests, thank you for being part of our little farm family. We hope to welcome many more of you to enjoy the animals, countryside, fresh air and a little bit of farmyard magic. 🌿

Sending you all a big donkey smile and lots of Halloween love! 🥰

Love from all the animals (and humans!) at

A lovely little glimpse of life at Lower Whitsleigh Farm ❤️

A huge thank you to Tracey and her family for sending us these two gorgeous photos from their stay with us. We absolutely love seeing the animals through our guests’ eyes! Joe is our gentle giant Irish Sports Horse who loves greeting guests!

If you’ve stayed with us and captured a lovely photo, funny moment or special memory during your visit, we’d love to see it too. Pop it in the comments or email it to [email protected] — it’s always lovely to see what you’ve enjoyed during your stay.

And if you’re thinking about coming to stay, you can join us for our daily animal feeds at 8am — one of our favourite parts of the morning! 🐴🐷🐑🐔

We have our Safari Lodge, Oak Cabin on the Lake and Cottage, all set in the peaceful North Devon countryside, with plenty of four-legged neighbours to meet along the way.

We’d love to welcome you to the farm!

Donkey rolling time at Lower Whitsleigh Farm! 🥰

There really is something rather lovely about watching the donkeys completely enjoying life — rolling around, having a scratch and generally doing what donkeys do best!

Stay with us here at the farm and these lovely characters could be your neighbours too. We have our Safari Lodge, Oak Cabin on the Lake and cosy Cottage, all tucked away in the peaceful North Devon countryside.

Fancy waking up to this? Come and stay with us 💚

Imagine having these four as your neighbours… 🐴❤️

Today was pedicure day for our four rescue donkeys — Daphne, Delilah, Dave & Roy!

Our fabulous farrier Ros came to give them all a lovely trim and file, and of course, there were plenty of ear rubs, fuss and attention along the way.

Judging by those relaxed faces, we think they rather enjoyed their little spa treatment!

We absolutely adore these four. They all have such different personalities, and they’re a big part of what makes life here at Lower Whitsleigh Farm so special.

And the lovely thing is, if you come and stay with us, you get to meet them too! 🥰

Imagine waking up in the beautiful North Devon countryside, stepping outside your cottage, cabin on the lake or safari lodge with a cup of tea and seeing Daphne, Delilah, Dave & Roy going about their day.

Along with the donkeys, we have sheep, pigs, horses and chickens, so there’s always something to see, hear or say hello to. 🐑🐖🐴🐔

It’s not quite a petting zoo — the animals definitely have their own opinions about that! 😂 — but we love sharing a little bit of our farm life with our guests.

If you fancy a peaceful North Devon escape, we’d love to welcome you.

Lower Whitsleigh Farm isn’t just a business to us — it’s our home.

Nearly ten years ago, we moved to the peaceful North Devon countryside and it was honestly one of the best things we’ve ever done.

Our three unique holiday lets are a real labour of love, created to give people somewhere to slow down, breathe and escape the everyday.

We know that feeling ourselves — especially Andy! Exhausted, overwhelmed and desperate for a few days to simply switch off.

And we see that transformation in our guests too.

The shoulders drop.
The pace slows.
The laughter returns.

And then, of course, there are the animals.

So many guests arrive having never seen a sheep, pig, donkey or horse up close — let alone had one trot over demanding a head scratch!

There’s something incredibly special about stepping outside your cottage and spending a quiet moment with an animal you might normally only see from a distance.

Animals really are good for the soul.

If our guests leave feeling a little lighter, happier and more connected to nature, then we know Lower Whitsleigh Farm is doing exactly what we hoped it would.

A place to breathe. A place to slow down. A place to reconnect.

Tag someone who needs a little countryside therapy — and perhaps some sheep, donkey, pig, chicken and horse cuddles while they’re at it.
