THE LEAPING TROUT IS NOW A BOUTIQUE PRIVATE-HIRE HOLIDAY HOME The Leaping Trout in Bickleigh, Tiverton is a spacious former pub steeped in history, with white-washed stone walls and a thatched roof, that has been transformed into a boutique private hire holiday home, ideal for wedding guests and hen and stag get-togethers. Sleeping up to 32 guests in 12 beautifully furnished bedrooms, the property is divided into five separate two to three-bedroom areas so that individual groups can be private. There are fully equipped kitchens and large dining areas available, plus a vintage-inspired, 20-seater cinema with a popcorn machine and authentic pub bar with beer pumps and a pool table as well as cosy lounge areas with inglenook fireplaces. The spacious private gardens include an outdoor kitchen barbecue and pizza oven plus a hot tub on the riverside decking. It provides the perfect picturesque backdrop to any event, brimming with character and charm, situated by the River Exe within the beautiful Devon countryside. The venue can have a ceremony licence, hosting celebrations outside and in, plus there’s plenty of space in the manicured gardens for a marquee. Inside, the bar area can be used for dining and dancing.
