Location description
Bidwell Farm and its two 5 star cottages sit within the Blackdown Hills – an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty – just two minutes away from the sleepy, Domesday agricultural village of Up-Ottery.
The River Otter which gives its name to the village, meanders and sparkles through this pretty valley and, yes, the otters are back! Up-Ottery was voted a “Best Kept Village” and has a splendid, welcoming church dating in parts back to 1180 and an equally welcoming pub which isn’t that much younger. Both are a delightful six minute walk away, across the Otter Bridge and then under a tree-canopied sun-dappled country road. Of an evening you can soak up the atmosphere of a true farmers’ pub, surrounded by conversations in the gentle Devon burr about skittles and the soil, themes as winding as the lanes themselves.
Bidwell farmhouse dates to 1721 and nestles in its own five secluded acres of pasture and garden with stunning views from all angles including from our own three-quarter acre trout pond.
Guests may stroll the fragrant lanes, or fossil-hunt at the nearby Jurassic Coast. Out of season, circular walks around our Parish footpaths can end in a allop back to a roaring log fire or a cosy meal at our village inn. Living on site, we pride ourselves on making our guests feel thoroughly welcome and on ensuring comfort throughout the stay.
