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.

Reviews
Extremely disappointing. The cottage is beautiful in a stunning location. However, it needed a thorough clean. The kitchen had not been cleaned for some time! There were numerous broken/missing items in every room, and the plumbing desperately needs an overall. My teenage daughter could not turn on several of the taps! The sink in the bathroom could not be used for some time after the bath was run or the toilet flushed. In every room there were either missing/broken lights, or bedroom door knobs hanging off so my children were unable to close their bedroom doors. Similarly, the shower room door locks didn't line up properly so my children were unable to use them . The most worrying issue was a health and safety aspect of the location of the upstairs smoke alarm, which was positioned so high up in the rafters that it was impossible to test. Also most of the upstairs windows were extremely tight and therefore impossible to open. What if there was a fire in the night, how would we exit the property? There were many other problems too numerous to put in this review. We booked through Helpful holidays and we have had many wonderful problem free holidays with them in the past. However, they have now merged with Sykes cottages, and I couldn't believe their negative hostile attitude when I tried to make a complaint. I am so disappointed that I will be unable to use Helpful holidays in future.
