About this 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 976196, Oak Tree 976220, The Hay Barn 976197 and Swallows Reach 976144; it can be booked with Oak Tree, with which it shares interconnecting doors, and together they sleep 12.

The swimming pool is fab, the garden opposite the cottage was great, perfect for the doggies to run around and play and a trampoline perfect for my gymnastics mad 13 year old. Would highly recommend.

A few added extras would have made it a 5 star holiday home, a hairdryer, some extra towels for the swimming pool and a few blankets/throws for the sofas. But that said, East Bickleigh is situated in beautiful countryside, close to beaches which makes for a great holiday.

Great location for exploring South Devon. Friendly owner - easy to chat with and answer questions. Highlight: the indoor pool - great space for all ages. Another plus for us was being able to walk straight from the front door and enjoy he countryside with our dogs. House is a a good size for extended families but lacks accessible private garden space. Yes there is a shared pea shingle space outside the kitchen door and yes there is a small patio outside the family room; but it is not possible to access the grass area to the rear of the property as the path is totally overgrown. Whilst it is lovely to have some greenery at the front of the old farmhouse, currently it is in need of a severe trimming back to provide more light to the lounge/dining area. It does have a lovely rustic charm and all the amenities you need for a family holiday but just needs a bit of tlc on the maintenance side to make it a more comfortable indoor space. Some new website photos wouldn't go amiss as there have been a few cosmetic changes since they were taken. Would we return ? Yes, we would :)
