  What a beautiful beautiful place to stay!

  I booked this for my partners 29th birthday & wow it exceeded all our expectations. I already knew it was going to be gorgeous from the pictures on the advertisement but it’s something else to see it in person. Everything on the listing is 100% accurate. I was shocked by how large the garden area was, our little pooch had the time of her life running around during the day with her ball. The hot tub is outstanding, perfect temperature ready for you to get straight in on arrival & maintains the heat really well throughout your stay; I’ve never been in this style of hot tub where it has a lay down style bed in there but WOW how relaxing, I could’ve stayed in there all day. The facilities within the space has everything you could possibly need including more storage areas for food in the outbuilding which I think is so important especially if you’re staying for a week & don’t want clutter in the bedroom or living area. Everything worked perfectly, we had no issues with electricals, the oven & hob are very easy to use & the TV has apps available for you to watch your favourite films/shows. The electric fire was beautiful & gives the perfect vibe for a rainy evening infront of the tv. We’ve stayed in many places before & I always like to note the sleeping experience as I think this is so important. One thing I’ll say is that was one of the most comfortable beds I have EVER slept in, the mattress was to die for! I even had to see what mattress it was to potentially purchase it

  What can we say about the Bickleigh?

  First the bad stuff.......erm.... can't think of any. Now for the good stuff, where do we start? The owners are wonderful hosts, attentive and friendly but not at all intrusive and are willing to have a nice chat if you wish. The location is wonderful, on a hillside overlooking beautiful fields and trees, the owner's house is lower down the hill and can't be seen from the lodge so there is an uninterrupted view over the valley. It is so quiet and peaceful, we can see why they call it Ridgeview Retreat. If you want peace and quiet with stunning views this is the place to be. The lodge is amazing with everything you need, a good range of utensils, crockery, towels, even an emergency pack of toiletries. The TV (unlike in most places) has Amazon prime and Netflix and the WIFI works very well. You do need to allow a decent time for the hot tub to heat up (3 hours or so) and be attentive to keep the fire roaring until the tub is hot, after that make sure you let the fire die down or it may be too hot! I must mention the mushrooms, growing all round the lodge and in the field were masses of field mushrooms which we could pick and eat, quite delicious All in all, Ridgeview Retreats is a wonderful place with wonderful hosts and I recommend it to anyone seeking a peaceful few days.

  One of the best cottages in the UK we've had the pleasure to stay. Located perfectly for some countryside peace and quiet and a short drive away from lots of great walks in the Exmoor National Park. Wonderful views to the surrounding hillside while relaxing in the hot tub, regardless of the weather as it's covered. The owner was happy to stop and chat when we saw him and even gave us a little history of the farm. I would definitely recommend planning some local walks straight from the cottage, especially a beautiful circular taking in Huntsham and its lake. If you're a runner and like me you enjoy some runs while on hols then be prepared for the toughest first 400m you'll probably ever experience. The climb from the bottom of the hillside the cottage is based begins steep and then gets steeper. My lungs will testify to this :-)

  Pear Tree Cottage is a unique holiday home in an idyllic setting down a quiet country lane.

  The owner was very welcoming and accommodating and we had a very pleasant stay. He kept in touch with us and responded quickly to any queries that we had, despite being away himself. There were however a few issues that did affect our stay such as there being no freezer as it had gone wrong, the garden umbrella being broken and the kitchen fridge either dripping water but then freezing our food when we turned it up a notch. These are mainly maintenance issues that need rectifying, although we appreciate that the owner has not had the property for long and may not be aware of certain things that need to be fixed. The property was very clean and neat and tidy, but a few bits of cleaning missed such as the patio table. Overall though we would definitely recommend this property and would stay there again.

  Clear instructions on how to find it we were completely wowed with everything at The Bickleigh.

  On arrival plenty of room for parking. Checking in was easy & stress free. The views were absolutely stunning at every angle. Inside the property it was squeaky clean & had everything we needed. Really modern with fabulous stylish decor. A wonderful welcome package & information on everything at hand. We are huge tea/coffee drinkers & were amazed at the selection left for us. Lovely pubs close by especially Fisherman’s Cott & Bickleigh Mill was a really beautiful place to stop & have drink or shop for gifts to take home. This all was situated in the most beautiful area. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & wished we’d booked longer. We will definitely be back as soon as possible. Thank you Penny & partner our whole experience was exceptional.
