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!'.

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 .

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

Mr Barthram, May 2019
“In an ideal place close to coast and Dartmoor.”

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

Mr Flemington, May 2019
“All perfect except the trampoline netting was broken”

Mr Nightingale, April 2019
“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!”

The setting is wonderful and the cottage contains everything one could wish for in a holiday cottage. We were warmly welcomed as usual. We are already planning our visit again next year.

The shared pool was great. The cottage needed a good clean in general especially the oven and surrounding area. The white goods also dirty so wouldn’t be washing my clothes. Owner informed.

Mrs Durbin, August 2018
“The cooker and surround including the hood would benefit from an annual deep clean.”

The oven was positively disgusting! The bathrooms needed some mould treated. Everyone enjoyed the pool.

Mace, August 2018
“Our third May visit with family and friends.”

The lovely indoor pool one of our main reasons for returning.

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.

Note: This property is on the same farm as The Roundhouse, Oak Tree, The Hay Barn and Swallows Reach; it can be booked with Oak Tree, with which it shares interconnecting doors, and together they sleep 12.
