“We really enjoyed our stay in the beautiful Figtree Cottage.”

Everything we needed was there and the beds are very comfortable. Plenty of space and in a nice quiet location. The welcome basket was a lovely bonus. The hot tub was great, very warm, private and great after a day out. Lovely owners, friendly and helpfull and were available if we needed anything. Thank you Dave and Ali!

“Beautiful cottage with home from home feel very well equipped for all.”

Kids loved the huge garden, and the hot tub was a great way to relax at the end of our busy days, Ali and Dave are the most perfect hosts and the little treats are very welcome. We will most definitely be going back to this wonderful cottage.

Jake August 2024

“Fig Tree Cottage was simply perfect for us: Really spacious, with tons of room for a family with one young teenager and 4 older teens.”

The lovely circular table made gathering together for meals so easy and the way all the rooms flowed together ensured that everyone could blend together or have some time alone if they wished. The huge garden was also perfect for a bit of swing ball and frisbee. Dave and Ali were perfect hosts, introducing themselves when we arrived and there on hand if there were any issues…although there were no issues really, apart from us not having a lighter for the barbecue! We did however have a lovely chat with Dave on the morning before we left and could see how this absolutely gorgeous cottage reflected the attitude of its owners! We have a perfect holiday here! Thanks!

- Jake, August 2024

Thank you Jake and Rachel for the lovely feed back, it was a pleasure hosting you and your family, I also enjoyed the chats. I am glad you got home safely. Dave and Ali Property Owner

“Me and my family throughly enjoyed our stay at Fig Tree Cottage.”

It was so cosy and homely inside and the beds were so comfortable! There was a range of board games to play during the evenings and having breakfast in the sun. We had a relaxing time in the hot tub too! We will definitely be planning another trip in the future and telling our family and friends about this place! Thank you so much!

Wilhelmina September 2023

“Fig Tree Cottage exceeded expectations.”

It was everything and more. We wanted a peaceful, calm and quiet cottage and this exactly what it was. The cottage was comfortable and spacious and well equipped with everything we needed. The cleanliness of the cottage was excellent which was a big plus why we chose Fig Tree and it lived up to the description. The hosts Ali and Dave ensured we were comfortable and not far away if we needed anything. We arrived to a lovely Devon cream tea and they even provided gluten free scones for one of the party. In addition to a strarter pack of bread, milk team coffee and more. What wonderful memories we had and we couldn’t recommend high enough to anyone thinking of holiday renting Fig Tree. Thank you Ali and Dave. We will be returning and recommending to family and friends.

- Wilhelmina, September 2023

Wow thank you Wilhelmina, what lovely feedback thank you. We are so glad you enjoyed the peace and quiet that Fig Tree offers in the countryside. We do hope you return soon. Dave and Ali. Property Owner

“Very timely and personal communication, good directions to find it and a lovely welcome.”

All details as listed. Ali and Dave responded quickly and thoughtfully any queries we had. The kitchen was well stocked and the whole house was comfortable, clean and warm. The hot tub was great. There were 2 areas for outdoor seating: shame that the weather didn’t cooperate to allow us to use it! There was heaps to do within easy reach. I would recommend it without hesitation.

Dear Clare. Thank you for the positive feedback, we are so glad you were happy with the cottage and enjoyed the peace and quite. We look forward to seeing you again. Dave and Ali Property Owner

It is spotlessly clean and has excellent facilities; the highlights being the fantastic hot tub and log burner. Dave was available to answer any queries if needed. We had a wonderful stay and will definitely come again.

“Super clean andwell- equipped cottage that makes it perfect for a family stay or time away with friends.”

The hosts are both very friendly and extremely responsive. Everything works beautifully, the large selection of games, puzzles and books makes it very easy to get into the holiday spirit. There are some beautiful walks right from the cottage’s gate.. we’ll be back!

- Ami, December 2022

Thank you Ami for those kind words, I am glad you had a safe journey home, you are welcome back anytime. Dave and Ali Property Owner
Clifford October 2022

“Fig Tree cottage had all that we needed and more.”

The welcome pack was greatly appreciated and small details like fresh flowers on the table and the radio softly playing made us feel at home. The host, Dave made us feel most welcome and delighted our grandchildren by showing them his chickens and tortoises. The cottage is in the middle of the countryside hence a few single track roads to tackle. It is in a quiet location, which suited us, although away from shops etc we had no problem in getting a grocery delivery. The hot tub was well needed after a few tiring days out. Well equipped bathrooms and great showers. Thank you.

- Clifford, October 2022

We are so glad that you all enjoyed your holiday and the grandchildren enjoyed collecting the eggs. Hope to see you again. Dave and Ali Property Owner
Wendy September 2022

“The holiday home was lovely and very homely.”

Beds comfortable and jacuzzi was great. Only suggestion is that the en-suite bathroom upstairs, the shower flooded the floor when used unless the shower head is held. The gravel path was challenging for the 82 year old in our party and the gate has dropped so just minor issues. We thoroughly enjoyed our break and would rent again and recommend to others.

- Wendy, September 2022

Dear Wendy Thank you for the feed back, the gate has been mended along with the shower head, if you do return again we will clear the the drive way so as you can walk along that rather than the gravel path. Best wishes Dave and Ali Property Owner
Holly August 2022

“We had a fantastic holiday with enough in the house to keep the children and adults happy as well as there being lots off activities fairly close by.”

Hot tub was well used and everything in the house was well stocked and so comfortable. Dave and Ali made sure they were on hand for any difficulties and had good suggestions for activities. We would definitely like to return!

- Holly, August 2022

So glad that you and your family had a wonderful time Holly at FIg Tree, it was nice to hear everyone having fun in the garden as well. We look forward to seeing you again. Dave and Ali Property Owner
Tracey August 2022

“Fantastic holiday in Fig Tree cottage with such beautiful surroundings.”

We were in awe of the views and peace/quiet. The cottage was clean and had everything required for a self catering holiday. Because of the location we were able to get to the south or north of Devon, also travelled to Somerset and Dartmoor whilst exploring. Thank you, we had a wonderful week.

- Tracey, August 2022

Thank you Tracey for the positive feedback, we are so glad you all enjoyed your stay and the peace and quiet. Dave and Ali Property Owner
Lesley July 2022

Lisa July 2022

“Lovely large cottage, extremely well stocked kitchen, with comfy beds and furnishings- a real home a way from home.”

Dave and Ali were attentive and responsive without being intrusive. Group contained 6 young adults and 2 older adults and there was plenty of room for joint activities and games as well as space to escape for some peace and quiet. Sunset on lawn patio, as well as hot tub of course, were real highlights. Didn’t want to go home.

- Lisa, July 2022

Thank you for the positive feedback Lisa, I am so glad you enjoyed you stay at Fig tree. Property Owner

Elizabeth Katherine May 2022

“Cosy, extremely clean and comfortable accommodation in a beautiful, peaceful location.”

Excellent facilities within the property and Ali and Dave were the perfect hosts, unobtrusive but there if you needed them. They went out of their way to make us feel welcome....Henry the tortoise and all our family very much appreciated Dave's joinery skills! The welcome pack was an added bonus after a long drive down. We found the beds to be comfortable and the hot tub was a lovely way to relax in the evening and just watch the stars and listen to the local wildlife. Whilst there we visited North Devon, South Devon, Dorset and Exmoor. We were blessed with good weather, so enjoyed bbqs in the cottages lovely garden and the scenery and sunsets were stunning. We had a wonderful family holiday and would definitely recommend Fig Tree Cottage as a fabulous venue - we certainly hope to return! Thanks to Sykes for efficient organising and big thanks again to Ali and Dave - you really couldn't have done any more! Loved our holiday!

- Elizabeth Katherine, May 2022

Dear Elizabeth Thank you for the positive feed back. I am so glad you and your family enjoyed your stay at Fig tree cottage (and Henry) We look forward to seeing you again. Dave and Ali Property Owner
Laura April 2022

“Overall, we really enjoyed our stay at Fig Tree Cottage.”

The accommodation is very well equipped; it is clean; the layout is great for a bigger group; the hot tub was well enjoyed and clean; it was peaceful, quiet and private; and there is lots of space for everyone. A major negative though unfortunately - the bed mattresses in the downstairs rooms were not adequate and for the price paid for the accommodation, I would expect a much better quality mattress. The double bed is extremely soft, almost like a water mattress and the springs can be felt. And the 2 singles are both hard and again, springy, one more than the other. They caused some restless nights for a couple of guests unfortunately and hopefully the owners will get this sorted for the summer season ahead.

- Laura, April 2022

Dear Laura Thank you for your feedback, I am really sorry that you did not point this out to us while you were staying with us, we both came up several times to see you and to make sure that you and the family were happy with everything. As our long history of reviews attest, no one has ever complained about our beds, or marked us down on cleanliness. We are extremely thorough and take great pride in our cottage. It would have been very useful for you to talk to us during your stay, since you are the first person out of all our guests to complain. Indeed, the review above states how comfortable the beds are. We will of course look in to it and if need be will change the mattresses. Kind regards Dave and Ali Property Owner
Gunisha April 2022

“A well equipped cottage in beautiful surroundings.”

Hot tub was a big hit, great base to explore surrounding areas. Lots to do with children, our kids loved Dave’s tortoise. Would love to go back at some point in future. Lovely to meet property owner’s, they were very lovely and helpful.

- Gunisha, April 2022

Dear Gunisha Thank you for your feedback, it was a pleasure to host you and your family, I am so glad the twins enjoyed the tortoises, we look forward to seeing you again in the future. Dave and Ali. Property Owner
Christopher April 2022

“The route to and from the cottage is along a single track road and it is situated at a top of the hill leaving you with amazing views and beautiful sunsets.”

It is about 10 minutes from Tiverton and food takeaways deliver here. The owners were very helpful and friendly. Upon our arrival we found basket with milk, bread, butter, scones, clotted cream, jam and dishwasher tablets. The food parcel was gratefully received after a long journey. The kitchen is well equipped and we loved the induction topped range oven. The large table in the kitchen had space for 8 people. The lounge has a lovely log burner, BT wifi (decent speed), a large screen tv with smart tv apps (which you could log in to) and very comfortable leather sofas. Remember to turn off the rad in the lounge if you put on the log burner or the lounge will get very hot. A room thermostat would be useful

- Christopher, April 2022

Hi Chris Thank you for the lovely feedback and leaving the cottage tidy and clean, I think the kids enjoyed seeing the Tortoises as well. Hope to see you again in the future. Best wishes Dave and Ali Property Owner
Mark February 2022

“Made to feel very welcome and although the owners lived next door they did not impose and they were very helpfull.”

Ideal spot for using as a base and going for days out as it is central for south, north and east devon. Tiverton is close by for getting groceries and take aways if you can't be bothered to cook and Exeter is only about 12 miles away. The sky was so clear at night you could see millions of stars brilliantly

- Mark, February 2022

Thank you for the positive feedback, it was a pleasure to host you and the family, we would welcome you back any time. Best wishes Dave and Ali Property Owner
Luke February 2022

“A lovely cottage in a beautiful location.”

Made the perfect setting for a marriage proposal. The owners are extremely helpful especially through storm Eunice. The hot tub and log burner are a lovely added bonus. The location is lovely and rural but still not far to supermarkets etc. We would highly recommend this cottage. Having board games, books and DVDs was a nice touch. Suited our young family very well.

- Luke, February 2022

Thank you for the feedback Luke, so glad you and the family enjoyed it. Congratulations on the proposal all the best for the future. Dave and Ali Property Owner
Natalie December 2021

“Our party of 8 had a brilliant stay at Fig Tree Cottage!”

The cottage is cosy, spacious, well-equipped and spotlessly clean. The hot tub was a great hit with 4 teenagers. The hosts live on site and were generous, friendly, helpful but also unobtrusive. We highly recommend this cottage!

- Natalie, December 2021

Thank you for those kind words, it was a pleasure to have you stay. Dave and Ali Property Owner
Elizabeth October 2021

“If you are thinking of booking Fig Tree Cottage don’t think just do it!”

The pictures are great but it is even better when you see it. From the moment we pulled up to the moment we left we felt at home. The Cottage is finished to a very high standard and is well equipped. Ali & Dave were great, nothing too much trouble I loved chatting with them. Will be re booking for next year. Liz

- Elizabeth, October 2021

I am so glad you enjoyed your stay with us and we look forward to your return. Dave and Ali Property Owner
Brigitte July 2021

“This was a lovely cottage with plenty of space for our family although it would also well suit 2 families sharing.”

The hot tub was a lovely treat after busy days exploring the beautiful countryside. The owners were very welcoming and helped with any queries we had plus offered great recommendations.

- Brigitte, July 2021
Alison June 2021

“Beautiful cottage in idyllic surroundings.”

- Alison, June 2021
Corinna May 2021

“Fig Tree Cottage is wonderful, fabulous location, very peaceful, and cottage is perfect!”

Dave & Ali are lovely host, and we had a wonderful holiday here, spending quality time together as a family.

- Corinna, May 2021
Robert May 2021

“We spent a very enjoyable week at the Fig Tree cottage, as there was only 2 of us we had plenty of space, but it would be fine for up to 8.”

The facilities are very good and bathrooms and kitchens are modern and good. The hot tub particularly late at night watching the stars was wonderful. Ali and Dave, are very friendly, and helpful, nothing seems too much for them to make your stay stress free. The area is beautiful being close to both Exmoor and Dartmoor, and the coasts both north and south are within travelling distance.

- Robert, May 2021
Simon December 2020

“We recently had the pleasure of staying for a week at Figtree Cottage, Devon during December 2020.”

From the outset, the communication from Ali & Dave was on point. It was especially reassuring to receive a courtesy call from Ali prior to our stay which alleviated any queries or concerns we may have had around travelling to the property, or during our stay. The property was easily found with the directions provided by both Sykes and Ali. Upon arrival we were able to let ourselves in and get settled before Dave popped over to introduce himself and see if we needed anything. Ali & Dave reside in the premises just a stones throw away from the cottage which meant they were on hand for all our requests but far enough to ensure privacy and serenity. The cottage itself is situated away from the main road which means it's peaceful and quiet. The kitchen was already very well equipped however we did make a few requests that Ali & Dave we happy to oblige; notably the sharpening of the kitchen knives - thanks Dave! All bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean and furnished with quality fittings; the towels in the bathrooms were lush and the shower pressure is superb. The beds themselves were also very comfy. The loungeroom has an abundance of couches which ensured we weren't sitting on top of each other, as well as a fantastic fireplace which was lovely to start in the early evening and keep on until late. That said, the property is well heated anyway should we have preferred that form of heating. Without a doubt one of the main highlights was that hot tub - which we made use of everyday - and Dave ensured that the chemicals were just right throughout our entire stay; Dave would pop over in the morning to top-up and we hardly noticed he'd been and gone. We had an amazing stay at the cottage and really enjoyed what the surrounding area had to offer. Both Ali & Dave are really lovely people which just adds to making the whole experience perfect from start to finish. By the end of our stay we really didn't want to leave, however it's nice to know that we have something to look forward to upon returning again in the hopefully not too distant future.

- Simon, December 2020
Peter October 2020

“Very comfortable property with lots of room for just the two of us.”

Plenty of outdoor space in a quite location, close to Tiverton and ideal for visits to both Exmoor and Dartmoor. A lovely herb garden next to the front door. Dave our host was very welcoming and helped make our stay enjoyable whilst Ali ensured we had accurate arrival instructions.

- Peter, October 2020
Tammay September 2020

“The cottage has superb scenery on a quiet and peaceful hill top , not far from Tiverton with all the amenities you’ll need .”

The cottage was lovely ,well equipped and comfortable . We really enjoyed our stay , would definitely recommend it .

- Tammay, September 2020
Paul September 2020

“A stunning cottage in a very peaceful location!”

Well equipped and tastefully decorated. A lovely welcome from Dave and Ali and much appreciated cream tea and essentials left for us. Would definitely recommend staying in this beautiful place... can’t beat a coffee on the patio at 6am listening to the birds and looking for Dave (our adopted pet dragonfly) Will definitely return... thank you X

- Paul, September 2020
Daniel September 2020

“Absolutely fantastic stay!”

Could not believe how Much outside garden space was allocated with this cottage, so private, so peaceful. The hot tub was a fabulous addition totally private and kept extremely clean and water changed between guests. The kitchen and conservatory dining area was perfect with amble seating, great kitchen appliances with everything you need and more. The living area was fabulous with tv with internet especially perfect for kids. Bathrooms and bedrooms spacious and tastefully decorated. Our entire stay was fabulous and I would recommend fig tree cottage to anyone wanting an amazing cottage stay within beautiful surroundings and easy accessibility to fabulous local tourism spots.

- Daniel, September 2020
Lisa August 2020

“The photos and description do not do this cottage justice !”

The cottage is beautiful. We could not fault it. The location is great for exploring Devon. Our group was made up of 2 families, a family of 3 and a family of 4 and there was more than adequate room for all of us. The hot tub was of course an amazing bonus ! The owners contacted us a week before with all relevant information and messaged us on the day to say when our cottage was ready. The owners Dave and Ali were so friendly, and were on hand if we needed anything. Would definitely recommend this cottage.

- Lisa, August 2020
Alexandra July 2020

“This is a gem of a cottage and we really enjoyed a family week here in July.”

Dave and Ali could not be better hosts. They were super helpful and dropped in a few times to deliver some home made goodies and check that everything was ok. The hot tub was a real bonus and the kids loved this at the end of a busy day out. The only minor thing would be that a tumble drier would be useful for any days where the sun doesn’t shine. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

- Alexandra, July 2020
Diane July 2020

“Fig Tree Cottage is lovely.”

Everything you need, clean, comfortable the owners Dave & Ali were great. Very friendly and helpful without intruding a pleasure to meet them. Can't wait to go back.

- Diane, July 2020
Joy July 2020

“Six of us visited Fig Tree Cottage 11-18 July 2020.”

The whole experience with the owners was excellent, from the pre-visit phone call and email regarding Covid19 safet measures put in place, to checking in on us throughout our visit, but not in a manner that took away our privacy. Their efforts were exceptional, and they really did enhance the experience, in terms of making sure that we had everything we needed - plus rhubarb and courgettes from their garden! Everything was of a high standard, from the comfortable beds to the hot tub under the stars (we had great weather) and the welcome pack of necessities (tea/coffee/milk) plus little extras like scones and clotted cream. We adored the location - so peaceful, and with a privacy that 'open views' rarely allows - as we were not overlooked by anyone. We rarely visits a place twice, but this may prove to the be the exception, especially as it was intended to coincide with a graduation that didn't take place, and we hope will happen in 2021.

- Joy, July 2020
Barry March 2020

“We have just returned from our stay at Fig Tree Cottage.”

What an amazing place. Very clean, very well equipped in each room, especially the kitchen. All bedrooms were comfy with plenty of space and we liked the en-suite bathroom with the super king bedrooms. The log fire was very welcoming as was the welcome pack. The hot tub was great to relax in after a long day. Thank you Dave and Ali. We hope to see you again.

- Barry, March 2020
Fiona March 2020

“We had a great stay.”

A family get together for my dads birthday. The accommodation is homely and lots of thought has been put into it. We had a lovely welcome pack of scones and jam and cream and bread, butter and milk. The fire was lit and the radio was on. So welcoming. Dave even came and helped us to unload the car. The location is only 3 miles from local shops and fuel station. It’s best to have a car. Not much to walk to close by, though I believe there was a pub within a mile. We did all our own food and drink so didn’t really need to find pub or restaurant. Hot tub was lovely. Strongly recommend.

- Fiona, March 2020
Heather February 2020

“We stopped in this cottage in Feb of this year, it's a fabulous clean & comfortable cottage, it was beautifully decorated & furnished, with very comfortable beds.”

It was just perfect for our family of 8. The owners were a lovely couple, they were very welcoming & eager to make our stay a memorable one. The grandchildren loved the hot tub....& the welcome pack of a cream tea was delicious...thank you.

- Heather, February 2020
Laura February 2020

“On arrival the host came to greet us and showed us a few essential bits like how to work the hot tub and the log burner.”

The cottage was very well equipped with everything you would need and the living space was very comfortable. The bedrooms were spaced out well so we didn't feel like we were on top of one another and there were plenty of toilets. The hosts were very helpful with selecting a pub nearby for a Sunday carvery and nothing was too much trouble for them. We had a lovely time away and would recommend fig tree cottage.

- Laura, February 2020

“We had a really lovely time.”

The cottage is gorgeous and in a beautiful setting. The kitchen has everything you need for self catering. Comfortable beds, lovely pillows, beautifully soft towels. Cosy fire with a good supply of logs. The hosts were very friendly and helpful and left the most lovely welcome pack. The hot tub tops it all off beautifully, big and kept very clean. I would definitely recommend

“Fig Tree Cottage was just lovely.”

It’s very quiet and peaceful. The cottage itself was clean and tidy and had everything you needed. It’s a great base to explore Devon and Bickleigh itself is picturesque. Dave was a great host and checked on us during the week to see if things are ok. Well worth a visit!

“Couldn’t have asked for better hosts.”

Perefect location for exploring both the north and south coasts only 1hour away. The cottage was very spacious and well equipped, the beds were comfy and the 3 bathrooms very useful for the number of guests. The garden is ideal for families with plenty of space for the kids to play and the recentl addition of the hot tub was the excellent place to relax in the evening and star gaze. Would highly recommend - you will not be disappointed.

“We very much enjoyed our stay in this cottage.”

The location is in the countryside, with peace and tranquility all around. Tiverton and Bickleigh are, however, a short car ride away. The cottage was clean, well equipped and comfortable, furnished to a high standard. Dave and Ali were great hosts, very friendly and helpful when we had questions. We were lucky enough to stay over the Easter period where we were able to take advantage of the peaceful and comfortable garden location as well as making good use of the BBQ. We hope to return to the cottage soon!

“A beautiful cottage in stunning, peaceful surroundings.”

Dave and Ali are excellent hosts and have made this cottage into a lovely little holiday retreat. The welcome pack on arrival had everything you needed after a long journey, the scones with clotted cream went down treat and were a lovely surprise. We would certainly recommend a stay here if you are in need of a relaxing break in one of the best cottages we have stayed in. No matter what the weather (we had rain, storms and sunshine) Fig Tree cottage provided the perfect location for a lazy day or to explore the surrounding areas. We are returning home batteries fully charged and with some lovely cottage cooking apples ready for a crumble, windfall from the storms!!! Thank you for making our first trip to mid-Devon so memorable and enjoyable.

“We had a really lovely week exploring Devon which we hadn’t visited for sometime.”

Fig Tree cottage was a very spacious and comfortable property with all the amenities you could wish for in a very quiet, though not too remote, location. The owners Dave and Ali were very welcoming and Dave even managed to show us his baby tortoises something we had never seen before just a shame we couldn’t bring one home. Thanks for a great week.

“Our stay at Fig Tree Cottage was delightful.”

The location was a fantastic mix of serene tranquility (at the cottage itself) but within easy range of many of Devon’s sites and attractions to suit all ages (we were a party of 6 adults and 2 children). The cottage itself was comfortable, clean, well maintained and fully equipped, our hosts were very welcoming, and approachable, and addressed any questions, concerns or suggestions we had, in a timely fashion and with a smile and a thank you. My family and I would not hesitate to recommend Fig Tree Cottage, and very much look forward to staying there again in the future.

“Lovely cottage in an idyllic location.”

Very quiet and peaceful. Cottage could not be faulted with everything available that we could need. Grounds were lovely, secluded and secure. Would return to this property and would strongly recommend to others. Thank you.

The property

Bickleigh 1 mile.

Figtree cottage is situated on the steep slopes overlooking the stunning Exe valley in Mid Devon.

A wooden construction by Swedish experts, this detached Devon cottage sits on the site of an old sheep shearing shed.

The cottage is in a peaceful rural location, a mile from the noted beauty spot of Bickleigh.

Local wildlife can often be seen in the area such as deer, hawks and buzzard, plus sheep and cattle in the fields next door to the cottage.On the grounds of the owners' house, Fig tree cottage has its own private driveway, with far-reaching, stunning, countryside views and spacious rooms, ideal for a family looking to enjoy a cottage holiday in Devon.

There is a sitting room with lovely oak floor, warming wood-burning stove and large TV with surround sound.

The kitchen/dining room is a bright, sunny room overlooking the picturesque garden.

In this Devon cottage, there are also four large, beautifully furnished bedrooms, one en-suite, with two further bathrooms situated over the ground and first floors, for convenience.

The large, private garden at your Devon cottage is a perfect place to enjoy the panoramic views on a summer's day.

The garden is west-facing and during the summer months the sunsets are breath-taking.

Even in peak summertime this part of Mid Devon is tranquil and quiet.

A walk up the lane reveals a different, but equally stunning, view from every gateway.

Just one mile down the lane from the cottage, is Bickleigh Mill, a historic water mill, café and gift shop, where you can spend the day dining alfresco by the River Exe.

The cottage is situated within easy driving distance of both Dartmoor and Exmoor National Parks.

Visit one of the many National Trust houses in the area surrounding your Devon cottage, or visit the small market town of Tiverton nearby.

Explore the historic city of Exeter with its impressive cathedral, excellent shopping malls, galleries, bars and restaurants.

The cottage is midway between Devon’s north and south coastlines, convenient for a day out to either.

A stay at this well-appointed Bickleigh cottage will certainly be a Devon family holiday to remember.
