Guests say
Oak Tree is a charming cottage in Devon, appreciated for its spaciousness, warm atmosphere, and dog-friendly environment. Guests enjoyed the luxurious pool, picturesque views, and the property's peacefulness. While some minor housekeeping and maintenance issues were noted, the positive aspects such as comfortable beds and a well-equipped kitchen were highlighted. The property's location and the welcoming nature of the owners also contributed to a pleasant stay for many.
Cleanliness
The cottage received mixed feedback on cleanliness. While some guests found the main rooms clean and the pool very clean, others noted dust and cobwebs in less frequented areas like the conservatory. The minor issues mentioned suggest room for improvement, but overall, the property was maintained to a satisfactory standard.
Location
The location of Oak Tree is highly praised for its tranquility, beautiful countryside views, and proximity to local attractions and beaches. The peaceful environment, despite full bookings, and the convenience of nearby towns and pubs, make it an ideal setting for a relaxing holiday.
Comfort
Comfort levels at the cottage are generally good, with guests enjoying comfortable beds, especially the four-poster bed, and underfloor heating. However, some guests mentioned sagging sofas and overgrown shrubs blocking light, which detracted from the overall comfort. The positive experiences with the beds and heating suggest a comfortable stay with some areas needing attention.
Facilities
The facilities, including a large swimming pool and play areas, were well-received. However, several reviews pointed out maintenance issues such as leaks, faulty shower, and the need for updates in the conservatory and garden furniture. While the amenities were appreciated, the maintenance concerns indicate a need for improvements.

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.
