Lovely lodge , clean and tidy with great facilities Lovely location very tranquil and peaceful with fabulous outlook FYI When travelling to the lodge use Penny's instructions not sat nav (sat nav takes you down very narrow lanes) Wood fired hot tub is great but will need alot of logs 2 x 10k bags for each use and give yourself 2-3 hours to heat for each use

Thank you Daniel. so great to have amazing feedback. Best wishes Penny. Property Owner

"Had a great time amazing place and views, owner was lovely and we really enjoyed it."
The only thing that let us down was getting the log burner hot tub to get to the temperature we wanted. We tried for 5-6 hours buying 2 extra bags of logs but just couldn’t seem to get it going. We followed the instructions to add.
Glad you enjoyed your stay, but sorry you had problems with the hot tub. We would have been very happy to pop up to help with this. If you return we will help get the fire roaring for a hot tub! Property Owner

"It was a lovely stay."
We enjoyed it very much! It was so clean and everything had a home, the layout was perfect! The type of hot tub wasn’t ideal for the weather but we would 100% come again, maybe in the warmer months. Couldn’t recommend enough Thankyou!
Thank you. The weather has been awful, but we are so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Look forward to your return. Property Owner

Thank you Hazel, so pleased you enjoyed your stay. Property Owner

"We had an amazing time at the Bickleigh and absolutely loved the pod, the interior was beautiful and so comfy - we especially loved the log burner."
The hosts were so lovely and welcoming and we loved our bottle of Prosecco on arrival. It was a special way to spend my partners birthday and we loved our meal in the pub nearby The Fisherman’s cott. The views from the hot tub were spectacular and we cannot wait to visit again in the warmer weather.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We look forward to welcoming you again at Ridgeview Retreats. Property Owner

"This was the most perfect few days."
Quiet and peaceful surroundings. The owners were lovely and left us a few welcome gifts. All the little details were perfect such as the robes, toiletries and blankets etc. We loved the coziness of the log burner and hot tub aswell. If you’re looking for the perfect place for a quiet and relaxing few days away then this is for you.

Set in some gorgeous landscape views over the devonshire counrty side. It is well equiped with everything you willneed for your stay, from the little toothbrushes, feminine emergancy box, hair dryer, and fire lighters.The hot tub was perfect and easy to start. Although other propertys were close you couldnt hear them or see them

"Had an amazing stay at this gorgeous lodge which was even better than the photos with beautiful views and the sheep bouncing down the hill."
The hot tub was just perfect after a days cycling and was easy to get to the temperature required. In this until 10pm every night! Penny and Adrian were the perfect hosts with a welcome present of Prosecco and home made scones personally delivered. 5 days here was not nearly enough! Would highly recommend to anyone. Missing the sheep already :( Look forward to a return visit.
-
"Such a beautiful location and just what you need to shut off from the world and be in your own bubble."
-
"Was a lovely little get away."
The views were amazing especially the sheep running around. The place was very clean and easy to find with the directions given. Lovely little welcome gifts left for us which we enjoyed. Will recommend and definitely be back again.

"Beautiful property very clean and modern."
It is located in the countryside and is very peaceful. The views are fantastic. It is equipped with everything you need to enjoy your stay. The hot tub and bbq outside the property also went down a treat. There are places to eat and shop a short drive away. Would highly recommend this property to anyone wishing a quiet location in the country.
-
"This is a very special place."
The Lodge is fabulous, the setting spectacular and we had the best holiday there. We will definitely return and would not hesitate to recommend it to anyone. The owners are attentive but not intrusive and such lovely people. Can’t praise this place enough
-
"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.
-
"We had the most wonderful stay."
It was peaceful and tranquil with just the sheep & lambs bleating. The lodge was very comfortable and well equipped. We really enjoyed the hot tub, once we managed to get it up to heat. It would have been a lovely touch to have the fire set so all we had to do was light it on arrival. Penny, our host,was delightful. Any questions were quickly answered. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely like to return.
-

It was so peaceful and romantic. Stunning views and we even had snow. The accommodation was clean, tidy and well maintained. Would definitely book again and recommend. Even my partner has said that we will becoming back for our honeymoon. Thank you Penny and family, you were amazing and have done a fantastic job.

"Property is very clean and tidy."
Spacious and comfortable. Both my self and parter unfortunately struggled with the bathroom door lock and got locked inside a few times found the lock very temperamental or hard to grab. Also the paving would need to be looked as as soon as possible as is very uneven in places someone can easily trip or even suffer a bad injury from the corners of the paving protruding up a lot.
Apologies for the bathroom lock, this will be looked into immediately. The extremely cold , and at times wet weather has effected the patio slabs. These are being relaid mid march. Property Owner

"We had a great stay."
Perfect location. Lovely hosts. Accommodation was nice and clean and the architecture was great. Loved the wood burner inside! Only comments I have for improvement are more space for clothes so maybe a chest of drawers or under bed storage. And unfortunately we couldn’t get the hot tub hot enough in this weather and it was one of the main reasons we chose this particular accommodation so that was quite disheartening as didn’t feel like we got the full experience but the owners have said if we decide to come back they will get it up and running for us. Maybe it would be a good idea to change to electric ones and put a little roof over it so it can be used in all weathers. We had a really lovely stay though so thank you! :)
So sorry the hot tub didn't heat up for you. We are always around to help get the fires burning. Future customers, please ask for help with the hot tub if you can't get it going. So pleased you enjoyed the rest of your stay. Property Owner

"We really enjoyed our relaxing stay."
The lanes were the only thing we could remotely complain about and that’s if we were plying devil’s advocate. Lovely place for a couple to spend quality time together in a stress free setting. Comfy sofa and bed, simple but affective kitchen and bathroom. All the things desired in a calm relaxed get away setting.

"Such a beautiful place with amazing views and great attention to detail provided by the hosts made it a very relaxing place to be."
The hosts made us feel very welcome and if we needed anything or had any problems we could just call them. The welcome homemade mince pies and mulled wine were an added bonus. We also loved the hot tub which was a great way to relax at the end of the day. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again in the future
-
"It was first class."
The property was just as described probably even better. The details to furnishings were beautiful. We were made to feel welcome from the host and that anything we needed or any problems we could just call them. The property has outstanding views and the dark night sky was amazing. The welcome scones with jam and cream were an added bonus. We will certainly be booking again in the future.

"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.

"Amazing place to relax, facilities were great."
Hot tub was great, be sure you keep the fire burning for a few hours before you get in! But once its heated up it will stay warm right through till morning. Views from all around the building are fantastic! Would definitely go back for a relaxing weekend
-
"Lovely Host."
Couldn’t do enough for you. Would highly recommend paying a visit to the lodge and surrounding area.
-
"The lodge is beautifully furnished and fully equipped, lovely peaceful location with excellent views and a delicious homemade cake on arrival."
Only downside is the hot tub takes an age to heat up so didn’t get to use. Would definitely recommend.

About the location
TIVERTON
Crediton 12 miles; Exeter 14 miles; Taunton 21 miles.
The largest town in Mid Devon, visit Tiverton for echoes of the past including a romantic castle, and horse-drawn barge trips on the idyllic Grand Western Canal. Occupying a strategic position on two rivers, the Exe and the Lowman, brought Tiverton wealth as a flourishing textile town, resulting in many fine buildings. These include the Jacobean Great House of St. George, three medieval almshouses, and the fantastic parish church of St. Peter with its remarkable frieze of merchant vessels with billowing sails. Another famous building is Old Blundells, immortalised by former pupil R.D. Blackmore in his classic Lorna Doone. However, the town's most famous building is beautiful Tiverton Castle, a royal fortress commissioned in 1106 by Henry I. Find out more about Tiverton's rich heritage at award-winning Tiverton Museum of Mid Devon Life, with 14 galleries of exhibits including the Tivvy Bumper GWR locomotive.
