This very comfortable cosy cottage has the most amazing view from both deck and balcony. We were lucky to have some dry and warm enough weather to sit outside to make the most of that. The cottage is in quite a remote spot and the steep lane to Bickleigh is not for the faint -hearted! The lane to Tiverton is much easier! We used this route most of the time - handy for the canal. We also visited the excellent Mid-Devon museum in Tiverton and the Shell garage on the Exeter road was quite handy and very friendly. Two pubs we liked were The Fishermans Cot at Bickleigh (very busy but well-run Sunday Carvery) and the Thorverton Arms on the Exeter road - interesting menu and a very welcoming, jovial landlord. We were very impressed by all the effort and improvement that the owners had made to their land to promote an eco diversity and the encouragement they were giving to the future generation. ...

We had an amazing stay at Backswood Cottage. The cottage is beautifully furnished and fully equipped.The beds are super comfortable and the view from the bedrooms are stunning.The nature reserve within the property is gorgeous and very relaxing: a real oasis of tranquillity! Everything is so well thought and super clean. Plenry of books and games to keep everyone entertained in the evening. The bottle of prosecco in the fridge together with tea and biscuits was an extra special touch from our kind hosts. Thank you so much to Mandy and Andrew for their fantastic hospitality. We were lucky enough to spot one of the red deer roaming around the woodlands near our accommodation. We had a wonderful time!!...
