Strawfields is the best!! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Such a perfect place. Kids can run free, Cottages are lovely and super cosy after a day exploring and Alex is brilliant. Alpacas, homemade pizzas, loads of space and beautiful views. What’s not to like 🙌
Picture perfect childhood holiday ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
We’ve had such a wonderful time exploring North Devon beaches with the kids, everything is so close to the cottage! The land the cottage is on is what childhood memories are made of, the boys loved the trampolines, visiting the animals and having the games room next door. Incredible, thank you!
Lovely welcoming farm ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
We really enjoyed our stay in Stables Cottage. The cottage was cosy, clean and well-equipped, and the children really enjoyed meeting the animals, the trampoline and go karts. Great selection of books and toys in the cottage too. Thank you Alex for making us so welcome!
Hidden Gem ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
We stayed in the Stables cottage, which was beautiful with a high end finish and a lot of attention to detail. The countryside location was perfect and within easy reach with a car to Woolacombe & surrounding area . We would definitely recommend a stay at Strawfields.
Beautiful, peaceful location ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
I stayed in Owl Cottage with family members. Other family members camped. The cottage was lovely, comfortable and well equipped with views over the valley and fields.We all enjoyed the ‘make your own pizza’ night and the children loved the variety of animals. Alex and family were very welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. A lovely location just a short drive from Ilfracombe and Woolacombe with it’s wonderful beaches.The weather could have been better, but we all enjoyed our stay!
Lovely place to stay ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Lovely place to stay. Stayed in the Stables cottage, lovely building and garden. It’s now agreed 8 and 11 enjoyed the trampolines and table tennis, and we all enjoyed meeting the alpacas. Alex the owner was friendly and helpful. The Straw Patch Project kitchen garden is great, and their bean chilli was delicious.
Lovely, comfortable cottage on amazing farm ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
We loved Strawfields! We stayed in the Stables cottage which was super pretty and comfortable with all the amenities and a lovely private garden, perfect for the dog. The only comment we can think of is that bed in the main bedroom is a bit small, we prefer to have some more space. But, the bedroom does have its own little en suite bathroom though. The grounds of the farm are gorgeous and have everything the kids could ask for with trampolines, open fields and cute animals. The camping spots also look amazing. We loved having waffles at the pop up farm cafe and Alex and the rest of the staff are just the nicest. There are plenty of lovely beaches and other things to visit close by, so well worth a visit! We’d definitely go again if we’re around.
Perfect! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Arriving at the venue in the middle of the countryside, peaceful and beautiful, we were already happy! The cottage was spotless and airy with a pretty outside area plus lovely views. The cottage had everything that we needed with comfort provided. My granddaughter loved the play area and all the animals plus the daily go on the go carts! It is the best holiday booking we have made in years. Highly recommended and we want to come back soon please! Alex is welcoming and helpful and has established a wonderful experience for all, thank you.
4 night stay at Stables Cottage ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
My family of 4 adults plus a dog had a very comfortable stay at Strawfields. Alex was very helpful when I couldn’t master the online booking! The cottage is just as described with everything one needs for a self- catered stay. However, we found a couple of dog friendly pubs close by that served good food. Overall a great success for our get together, and warmly recommended.
Perfect ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
We loved staying at strawfields, the owl barn had such a beautiful view and ample space for the 4 of us. It was so lovely to see the animals in the morning and we even got to give them a shower. Thanks Alex, we felt really at home here and will definitely be coming again.

Fantastic stay at Strawfields ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
We had a lovely stay at Strawfields in the spacious and comfortable Owl Barn. Alex was a wonderful host and showed us the animals and we helped feed them. Our little one had a great time here and at the nearby attractions. Thanks again!
Lovely stay, lovely people! ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Really enjoyed our stay in the Owl Barn – it had everything we needed for a very comfortable stay. Great location for lots of family fun. The kids loved the trampolines and games room. The pizza nights and breakfast cafe were highlights for us and the kids had loads of fun making friends with other children.
A lovely stay ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Strawfields is the perfect location to escape and switch off in the countryside. The facilities were great for children and the highlights were definitely pizza night and feeding the animals. Our daughter absolutely loved walking the ponies!
Gorgeous cottage ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
We couldn’t have asked for more with regards to Owl Barn cottage. Spacious, clean, everything you need for a comfortable stay. The kids (11 & 7) loved the games room and outdoor play area. The only thing that let us down was the weather! Alex was welcoming and helpful. Pizza night was the best, fresh ingredients, homemade and the sun shone! We will definitely return to this wonderful peaceful place when hopefully we can enjoy the outdoor activities more.
Lovely peaceful spot ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
I’ve just returned from a week in Owl Cottage with my husband and adult daughter. Owl cottage is well appointed and very comfortable. The location is ideal for the north and west coast, Woolacombe is only 10 min away. We rarely return to the same place twice but we’d definitely consider coming back here.
The Stables – Strawfields is so special ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
Strawfields is a special place. Our favourite is the animals. A very friendly pygmy goat. Alpacas are cute and we managed to get close to them. Pigs grunting nicely as we were leaving. The Stables is probably the best holiday accomodation we have ever stayed in Britain. Everything top class. We walked around Strawfields and are impressed by the huts and campsite. Also next to us is the vegetable garden which is lovely. We would come back to the Stables as it is so pleasant. I (Tom) was on holiday this time to complete a lifetime running challenge. I ran Woolacombe parkrun as it is considered the toughest parkrun in the UK. It is my 100th 5K I have previously run 100 10Ks and also 100 half marathons. Woolacombe beach parkrun completed the triple century challenge. Few British runners have managed this in a lifetime. North Devon is beautiful and only our second time there. We would recommend Strawfields and North Devon to others for sure.
Wonderful stay ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
This is our second time at Strawfields and we were so happy to come back. We stayed in the Stables cottage which is lovely – rustic and spacious for a family of four. It is a peaceful location with beautiful views and plenty for the children to play and explore including the animals and play equipment. The hosts are very friendly and helped make our stay a special one. The pizza evening was another lovely touch. Great location for fantastic beaches. Lots of happy memories.
