We had a warm welcome from Nicky and were delighted to see a cream tea waiting for us when we arrived. The Figgery had everything we needed with a well equipped kitchen area and comfortable sofa and tv with freeview. The shower was easy to operate and there was always plenty of hot water. We would definitely stay again if we wanted a holiday in that part of Devon.
