We loved Fig Tree Cottage, it was a beautiful, very comfortable and well equipped, clean cottage. From the lounge we could see into the walled garden and were delighted to have pheasants and squirrels visiting us. We enjoyed the peace and quiet. The only person we saw all week was Ken, the friendly owner, who came over just to check that everything was ok. The cottage was remote and peaceful but not too far from Bideford or Barnstaple. A good location to explore North Devon and Exmoor. Despite the weather we all had a most enjoyable holiday and would not hesitate to book again....

Fig Tree Cottage is comfortable and well equipped and is in a wonderfully quiet location yet with easy access to nearby towns and the Devon coast. There are two outside seating areas so it was possible to have both breakfast and dinner sitting out in the sunshine. The owner was very welcoming and was on hand in case of any problems. We enjoyed our stay very much and would book the cottage again if we were to return to the area....

Lovely property, easy to book and lots of information on the website. Host popped round to say hello and dropped off oven gloves that were missing. Even in different times we felt comfortable and relaxed in the property and had a lovely much needed break....

Would recommend this cottage highly. Very comfortable, clean and homely. Amazing views when walking through owner's wood. Lovely to have this and the meadow all to ourselves. Beautiful garden to sit in too with table and chairs, plus seating further up the garden. Was thrilled to see a fox one day on our return to the cottage frolicking in the meadow. Let ourselves in then the owner came the next day to ask if everything was okay and to introduce himself. Very quiet and beautiful surroundings....

Fig Tree cottage was a really beautiful place with the most amazing walled garden and grounds. It was so lovely to have so much space to enjoy and so peaceful too. Our children loved playing on the rope swing and exploring the woodland and even saw a deer! The cottage was cosy, comfortable and well equipped. It was a great location for visiting nearby attractions....RHS Rosewood Gardens, Broomhill Sculpture Gardens, Westward Ho! beach, the Tarka Trail, Milky Way Adventure Park were top of our list. We would definitely recommend this accommodation - we were so pleased we discovered it!...
