September 2020

“We had a fantastic holiday at East Bickleigh.”

It was an absolutely ideal location for us all to de stress after the last 6 months. The farm was even nicer than the photographs suggested. Beautifully cosy and comfortable and the kitchen was really well equipped. The owners were great. There to welcome us , around should we need anything but completely unobtrusive. We would love to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend it.

“The cottage was beautiful, very well appointed, the swimming pool was a godsend as we didn’t have the best weather for the first 3 days, the owners were attentive , but certainly not in your face.”

There were some lovely walks around the perimeters of the farm, so it was good to get out with the dogs without having to take them in the car. We went with my son and his 3 children and the cottage was plenty big enough, beatifically en-suite rooms. The kitchen was huge , and plenty of utensils and dishes to cook with , we didn’t eat our as much as we would have done due to the covid. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone , the complex had another 2 small cottages, a huge barn and a detached house, so for special family occasions it would be just the spot.

“We had a fantastic holiday here.”

Having the use of the pool and games room was amazing for the kids. The house was really lovely and very well equipped. It could possibly have been a tiny bit cleaner but it wasn't a problem.

“excellent place for a family holiday”

We booked very last minute for our ourselves, daughter and family, and were delighted by this relaxed, friendly place. The grandchildren loved the pool and trampoline, asking again and again 'can we come here again!'.

“Great place to take families, central location and great facilities.”

“The property was excellent, it just needed some tweaks on maintenance ie stairgate, and front door lock.”

Brian the owner apologised for the swimming pool being cold as he was waiting for a part which was fixed on the Monday, the pool took till the Thursday to come up to temperature. We had a 4 and 2 year old in our party and booked East Bickleigh for the play area, sadly it was very dilapidated and overgrown with weeds and grass, it lacked maintenance and was certainly not as described in the photos! We appreciate that weather plays a large part in maintaining grounds and Brian the owner soon got onto cutting the grass when asked but it tainted what was a good holiday, an observation of the properties was that the grounds needed cutting back. Our 4year old enjoyed the adjoining farm as he is tractor mad. We will certainly visit East Bickleigh again as it was ideally placed it is just unfortunate that some aspects were not up to standard .

“Such a wonderful week for all of the family - young and not so young.”

The grandkids did nor want to go home. Favourites were the swimming pool and the day out at Woodlands - even the bad weather that day could not dampen the enjoyment. We hired the 2 interconnecting cottages and the arrangement worked perfectly.Thank you

Ideal for our son and daughter in law and our two grand children.

“We simply loved the comfort and features of the cottage, the kids were over the moon with the pool, games room and trampoline, and having all this on a working farm with little lambs just over the fence was amazing, My youngest grandson made friends with a cow who he is still talking about!”

“Such a gorgeous spacious cottage.”

we went as a family for our daughters 30th birthday. the place is very remote but only a short drive from supermarkets etc. The swimming pool and games room were used as unfortunately for us we had rain 5/7 days and some of the family went home early. would definately recommend

The property

East Bickleigh is one of two cottages converted from a farmhouse dating from the 1600s.

Comfortable and characterful with all the brilliant farm facilities to share, it is ideal accommodation for a family of any age.

The sitting room is full of charming traditional features like the wood floor with cosy rugs, beams and a wood burning stove in the fireplace to snuggle up beside.

The kitchen is well equipped with modern conveniences for cooking meals to enjoy in the dining area in the sitting room, and your eye will be drawn to the sunny French windows and the fascinating old well which has now been safely covered with glass as an interesting and historic feature.

Head on upstairs to bed in the three comfortable bedrooms, all en suite with a huge Victorian bath off the twin and French windows off the family room.

Outside is the farm to wander and the shared pool and games, and you also have your own patio with barbecue up steps for enjoying the peace.
