About this property

Oak Tree is one of two comfortable cottages converted from a 17th century farmhouse on Bickleigh Farm, with use of the splendid indoor pool, games room, play area and farm to wander. Head indoors to your sitting room, with its cosy woodburning stove, traditional beams and TV, and on a sunny day go through to your conservatory, where you can sit quietly with a good book. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing family meals to enjoy around the dining table. At bedtime, head upstairs to the two bedrooms, with a romantic four-poster in the double and pretty valley views. Outside you have your own seating area with outdoor furniture and a barbecue for alfresco suppers, as well as all the open space to enjoy beyond. With an optional interconnecting door to East Bickleigh next door and a big dining area in one of the cottages, it is an ideal place for two families to enjoy their own space. Note: This property is on the same farm as The Roundhouse 976196, East Bickleigh 976183, The Hay Barn 976197 and Swallows Reach 976144. It can be booked with East Bickleigh, with which it shares interconnecting doors, together they sleep 12.

Halwell is a small village in wooded farmland equidistant from the busy little town of Kingsbridge and popular Totnes.

    Lovely and warm in the cold damp weather. Had seen some negative comments from other people but to be honest we didn't have a problem. Felt the comments about overgrown shrubs was a bit harsh, given that it is winter and pruning won't happen until the Spring. Sofas were comfortable and we had no leaks. Felt there were some minor housekeeping issues, such as door knobs falling off, but these were minor issues and will be easily fixed. One thing that would have made the stay even better was a book for cottage renters with details of how things work, wifi password and places to eat and visit locally. Again something that is easily rectified. We would book again.

    Some of the niggles - the kitchen and lounge were very dark due to the very overgrown shrubs covering the windows. A new sofa is desperately needed, as the springs had gone. The shower kept turning on & off when the toilet was flushed (this was pointed out to the owner, so hopefully this will be rectified ASAP). The location and swimming pool were lovely.

    We walked into a ceiling in the lounge which had water dripping into a bucket for the whole week from a leaking underfloor heating system. We could hear every word the neighbours would say through the two internal doors between us, shower kept leaking as if turned on sporadically, garden furniture very uncomfortable, not modern, conservatory furniture had holes in wicker arm rests, door bolt to conservatory broken, windows to conservatory seal blown, no blinds no light either, door handles missing screws to hold them in place, outside plants blocking view through windows and access to front door needs pruning. Play area seating missing slats to seating. Cold water from taps was a problem as it came out hot! Unfortunately all the above made for a niggling stay. We will not be coming back or recommending the holiday
