About Us

OUR STORY

Wild Wanderers, the Beginning

We are Serina and Craig, a husband and wife team, originating from South Africa and the South Coast of England. In 2023, we took the leap to purchase this beautiful farm with the vision of turning it into one of the best family holiday destinations the South West has to offer. As parents to three children, ranging from toddler to teenager, we understand how tricky it can be to balance different interests and carve out quality family time.

We can be a bit silly and come up with some crazy ideas, but that’s part of our charm—and why you’ll love it here! That’s why we’re designing our holidays around the needs of families like ours. We also know that the British weather can be unpredictable, so everything we do is planned with rain or shine in mind. Whether it’s a sunny day or a downpour, we ensure that your holiday will still be packed with amazing experiences and unforgettable moments. We’re excited to continue expanding our accommodation, amenities, and activities to create even more special experiences for families to enjoy—no matter the weather!

GUEST REVIEWS

What our guests have said

“**Review for Oak Cottage** We had an amazing stay at Oak Cottage! Our kids absolutely loved the lambs, goats, and chickens—it was such a unique and delightful experience for them. The hot tub was a fantastic addition, providing a perfect way to relax in the evenings. The onsite pool was also a highlight, very clean and well-maintained. We were pleasantly surprised by the thoughtful touches, like the availability of coffee, tea, hot chocolate, cooking oil, herbs, and spices. These little extras made our stay so much more convenient, especially since we often forget to bring these essentials. We hope to be back one day because we truly loved our time at Oak Cottage!”

“Serina and family made our stay incredible. there was so much for us and the kids to do. Serina and Craig were incredible hosts, nothing was too much for them. The cottage exceeded expectations and was clean and more than well equipt for our stay. The grounds had so much for us and the kids to do, the kids had an amazing time. We absolutely loved our stay everything was perfect and we got a “Teddy Tour” the kids and my partner adored their super friendly doggo, he was the icing on the cake to a percect weekend. We didn’t want to come home and we will 100% be planning another visit in the new year. Thank you so much for an amazing weekend Serina & Craig x.”

“Wow is all I can say. In the words of my daughters, “we don’t want to go home, we want to live here” Thank you Serina and family for a wonderful stay. What an incredible place you have. The cottage and farm were just what we needed for a week of relax and chill. For anyone looking to stay here, we cant recommend enough, on arrival we were greeted by Ted the dog (who is an excellent tour guide) and Serina and welcomed to our cottage. It literally had everything we needed and more. The cottage was ample size for a family of 4 & dog. The private hot tub was an absolute treat as was the BBQ and Pizza oven. My girls loved the spa pool and especially feeding the animals, playing on the park, rope swing and visiting the fairies. This was a special holiday to use and was great to have farm life and beach life rolled in to 1. We loved this place and definitely want to return with our extended family. Thank you for having us.”

“We have just spent the dreamiest 3 nights at ash cottage – we was all so sad to leave especially my 2 year old! Hosts were so welcoming and friendly, communication was brilliant from start to finish we felt right at home! There is so much to do within the grounds but also not far away from cute little shops, restaurants and beautiful beaches. We are certainly going to miss waking up to the sound of sheep outside the front door! Honestly could not recommend this place more – we already can’t wait to return 🩷!”

“We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Oak Cottage, within Wild Wanders last week. Serina and Craig were very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The hot tub and pool were a great addition to the cottage, our 7 year old daughter really enjoyed using them. The farm animals were very friendly, especially the little lambs. Also their dog Teddy super friendly! 😊. They had communal area with its own pizza oven, although we never used the pizza oven, was a great touch! Would highly recommend and looking forward to returning in the near future. Thank you to Serina and Craig for a fantastic stay. 😊”

“Absolutely stunning location with so much to do without having to leave! The Pizza Hut was such a beautiful space for everyone to gather and the pizzas were so tasty! The animals were great to see, and hear and we did alot of relaxing in the pool and hot tub. Cottages have everything we needed for our stay and I’d love to come back! Serina was very responsive to my messages and helped before we got there and throughout our stay!”
