Bidwell Farm Cottages ( Upottery )

Bidwell Farm and its two 5 star GOLD AWARD 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 recently voted a “Best Kept Village” and has a splendid, welcoming church dating in parts back to 1150 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.
