  We recently had the pleasure of staying for a week at Figtree Cottage, Devon during December 2020.

  From the outset, the communication from Ali & Dave was on point. It was especially reassuring to receive a courtesy call from Ali prior to our stay which alleviated any queries or concerns we may have had around travelling to the property, or during our stay. The property was easily found with the directions provided by both Sykes and Ali. Upon arrival we were able to let ourselves in and get settled before Dave popped over to introduce himself and see if we needed anything. Ali & Dave reside in the premises just a stones throw away from the cottage which meant they were on hand for all our requests but far enough to ensure privacy and serenity. The cottage itself is situated away from the main road which means it's peaceful and quiet. The kitchen was already very well equipped however we did make a few requests that Ali & Dave we happy to oblige; notably the sharpening of the kitchen knives - thanks Dave! All bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean and furnished with quality fittings; the towels in the bathrooms were lush and the shower pressure is superb. The beds themselves were also very comfy. The loungeroom has an abundance of couches which ensured we weren't sitting on top of each other, as well as a fantastic fireplace which was lovely to start in the early evening and keep on until late. That said, the property is well heated anyway should we have preferred that form of heating. Without a doubt one of the main highlights was that hot tub - which we made use of everyday - and Dave ensured that the chemicals were just right throughout our entire stay; Dave would pop over in the morning to top-up and we hardly noticed he'd been and gone. We had an amazing stay at the cottage and really enjoyed what the surrounding area had to offer. Both Ali & Dave are really lovely people which just adds to making the whole experience perfect from start to finish. By the end of our stay we really didn't want to leave, however it's nice to know that we have something to look forward to upon returning again in the hopefully not too distant future.

  Perfection

  This vacation was extremely special to me since it was a surprise my husband arranged for my 30th birthday. We arrived at Colleton Hall as a party of 14 guests and stayed for 4 nights. Using the word "perfection" would probably not be strong enough. The venue is absolutely stunning in every way and equipped to one's every whim. Let me mention the hardwood floors, the magnificent artwork, the magical forest and lake (that are full of friendly animals), the fireplaces, several fully equipped kitchens and dining areas, and of course, the marvellous suite with the freestanding bathtub watching over the forest. Not only was the venue so magnificent that we would hardly want to leave it during the day in order to explore the area and near cities, but it was also fully equipped to help you enjoy the outdoors as well. One of the greatest features was the boot room with several pairs of boots to be used for forest exploration, sports equipment, dog toys and what not. Staying in Colleton Hall made me feel like I am living in a fairy tale I could not even believe exists in the real world. I would also like to mention the amazing interactions we had with everyone involved. Starting with lovely Debbie that was ready to meet and greet the guests on arrival day and wish a farewell on the last day. Debbie is a genuinely lovely woman who made us feel welcomed and cared for at every moment along the way. Russel, whom I had not had the chance to meet in person, made me feel welcomed even from afar. My husband mentioned he received a lot of help and care from Russel, which made him feel much at ease while arranging such a complicated trip. I have not got the words to describe the gratitude I feel for Russel, Debbie, and being able to stay at Colleton Hall. These days were unforgettable and I will be only waiting to come back.

  The perfect setting

  Russell and Richard were the perfect hosts from start to finish. This was a trip that had been postponed from Christmas 2020 because of the pandemic so everyone was so looking forward to the break. Colleton Hall did not disappoint. Russell and Richard had gone to great lengths to ensure that the hall was decorated perfectly with a stunning Christmas tree taking centre stage. The hall it’s self was just the perfect setting with plenty of space for our party to enjoy. Being big foodies the the dining areas and kitchens where a big win for us and gave everyone a chance to get involved. Fully kitted out with everything you could possibly need. Perfection. We also enjoyed the spacious bedrooms and bathrooms again fitted out to a high specification with no detail missed from fluffy towels to crips bed sheets it’s safe to say everyone slept well. Colleton Hall is the gift that keeps giving, once you venture out to explore the grounds it’s surprise after surprise from woody walks to private picnic areas where we relaxed with a little tipple while out enjoying everything the beautiful grounds have to offer. We had the best time and can’t wait to visit Colleton Hall again.
