"Cottage looks very pretty with flowers around the front of property."
Very spacious rooms. the room with four poster bed was furnished to enhance the age of property with beamed ceiling & en suite bathroom again designed appropriately . nice bright modern shower room off the twin bedroom. the large swimming pool was well used by us as we had excellent weather. there were a few negatives which could improve the holiday experience. the main rooms were clean however the floor lamps in the living room were very dusty & the conservatory had several cobwebs & dusty window sills. the conservatory is in need of some TLC as the woodwork is very shabby , there are no blinds in here so gets unbearably warm. the room itself is very large & furniture was comfortable & when not too warm is a good place for sitting quietly to read. the settees in living room are sagging so therefore not the most comfortable. the outside furniture was ridged old wooden furniture which again needs to be treated, therefore despite the glorious weather could not sit outside. if you have a dog with you there is no secure garden for them. we enjoyed our holiday but the owners need to spend some time & money to bring it up to scratch as it is a pretty cottage with lots of positives.

"Our second stay at Bickleigh farm!"
Oak tree was warm , comfortable, clean, spacious and full of character. The four poster bed was an added luxury and very comfortable. The underfloor heating was wonderful throughout the cottage. Lovely Views over the rolling countryside. We all very much enjoyed our stay including our three dogs Billy,Merlin and Teddy!
Thank you very much and we look forward to returning soon.

"Very comfortable and good facilities within the site."
Cleanliness could have been improved and also a lack of some basics like glasses etc.

"Overall lovely cottage with access to super swimming pool."
Patio area at rear could be better physically defined between the cottages - we sat amongst our neighbour’s washing virtually every day!

"We have just spent a week at Oak Tree (myself, my husband and our 7-year-old son) and can't recommend it highly enough!"
The house is more spacious than it appears in the pictures. The 4-poster bed in the main bedroom was beautiful and comfortable. We particularly enjoyed sitting in the conservatory with a glass of wine in the evenings, enjoying the view of the hills. The pool was fantastic and the rota system worked really well - it felt very luxurious having a pool that size to ourselves. Play area and trampoline were also great.
The local pub (walking distance down farm tracks but best in walking boots if it's been raining) serves excellent food, we ate there twice. We also ate at Rumour and Waterside Bistro in Totnes, both of which were very good.
Woodlands theme park is just a short drive away and a good day out if you have children - don't be put off by the reviews, go prepared with a packed lunch and it's fine. As an adult, it would not be my first choice of how to spend a day but our son had a brilliant time!
The owner at Oak Tree was very pleasant, came and introduced himself and, though we didn't need anything from him during our stay, I had the impression it would not have been a problem if we had. Overall, an excellent stay and we will certainly be back.

"We had stayed at Bickleigh Farm before, although in a different cottage, and the welcome was as excellent as before."
The facilities were superb and the cottage very well equipped. Our grandchildren enjoyed the trampoline. The pool was a welcome relief in the warm weather and plenty of space to walk the dogs

"We have had a amazing time at oak tree."
The little towns and beaches are a short drive away. Paignton and Torquay aren’t far either and we had some lovely days out there as well doing Some crabbing. Great location all round. The property is lovely and has everything you need. The facilities that are provided are excellent and we all loved the swimming pool. The local pub is lovely and the food is yummy

"The cottage far exceeded its listing, especially under floor heating you could stay here in deepest winter and never be cold."
The pool was warm and beautiful. Loved the play areas for the children to go free range. Location beautifully rural but so accessible to all the major attractions. Friendly owners we will certainly be back.

"A lovely cottage."
Perfect for young kids with all the facilities available. The swimming pool was a great hit. My older son enjoyed playing with the other kids staying in the cottages on the farm. There's plenty of outdoor space for them to play/run around. The location of the cottage is great to visit so many of the local attractions in Devon. We never had to travel far unlike when we've stayed in Cornwall and you have to regularly drive for an hour to get to places. The cottage has everything you need and the property owner visited us on the first and last day to check we were ok and check whether there were any issues.
