Mrs Cussen September 2018

“This was the 9th time we have visited Jacob's Barn, going back in May.”

That should say a lot.
Mrs Gilbert September 2018

“Jacobs barn is an amazing place to stay.”

The owners are second to none. There is nothing you need the barn is so well equipped. It is very spacious. We were a party of 4 adults and didn't get in an anyone's way amazing holiday thank you.
Mrs Shawcroft August 2018

“Jacobs Barn is a really delightful and spacious, well equipped and clean cottage.”

We were made to feel really welcome. On arrival we were greeted by the owner who explained where lots of local attractions etc. were and the history of the barn conversion. The lovely cake and box of chocolates that were provided for us on arrival were a lovely addition. Thank you for your hospitality. Helen and Mick Shawcroft. and Steve and Sue Cutler

“Helen and Chris were excellent hosts and it has to be said, have thought of absolutely everything here.”

Jacob's Barn is a wonderful place to stay, quiet and peaceful and very secure for our two dogs. Whether you're looking for a complete break away from society or a base to visit some of the places Devon and Cornwall have to offer, Jacob's Barn is a real home from home. As has been mentioned previously on other reviews, it is very much out of the way, the closest town being Tavistock which is around 5 miles away so if you're looking to wander out for a drink or to pick up something from the local shop then that's not going to happen. Prepare properly and it's not an issue. There's plenty to do, tennis court, croquet, ample board games and table tennis, and two outdoor seating areas to enjoy a glass of wine or dinner. We felt very comfortable here and the dogs loved it too. The delicious home made cake, the chocolates and the biscuits for the dogs were a lovely personal touch. The pictures and description represent the property very well.

“The cottage is in a good situation for sightseeing and in a quiet location, with extensive beautiful grounds, very well kept and safely enclosed and so extremely suitable for our dogs.”

Two lovely outdoor seating areas with super views. Everything was excellent, and our hosts could not have been more helpful, giving us a warm welcome with a generous selection of goodies, (for us and the dogs!) Only 2 very minor criticisms that didn’t really detract from our stay:- One of the bed mattresses (in the single room) is a little uncomfortable, and because (in the bedrooms) there are blinds rather than curtains, one of our party found the room too light in the mornings, especially when trying to catch up on some lie-ins! Nevertheless, we look forward to a return visit soon.

“This barn conversion is excellent in every respect.”

Spacious, well looked after, wonderful facilities, light and airy, lovely welcome gifts, perfect hosts and in a great position for visiting both coasts, Boscastle on the North coast and Looe on the Southern coast both within an hours drive. I will definitely visit Jacobs Barn when I next travel to the West Country. I am so pleased I chose this cottage.
Mrs Paton May 2018

“A fantastic spacious holiday accommodation.”

Friendly, helpful hosts. Converted barn clean, comfortable and very well equipped. Ideal base for families or couples. Lots of outside space for use solely by those renting barn - two different sitting/eating areas, tennis court, croquet laid out plus swing ball , boules and even a couple of large water super soaker shooters that my grandchildren had fun with on couple of hot days. Lots of fun on table tennis table for all too. Take food/drink supplies with you as no village shop or village pub. We topped up supplies in Tavistock which was small market town around fifteen:twenty mins away. Highly recommend. Safe for children to run around outside. Safe for dog too!
Mr Vane December 2017

“Holiday was easy to book and the cottage was just what we wanted for a short last minute getaway.”
Mrs Mitchell October 2017

“The barn was lovely and the owners were so helpful leaving flowers, yummy cake and chocolates on our arrival.”

Being able to take our dog was great and we were able to take him for a walk around the land was superb. If we were going back to the area again we would definitely Re-book and recommend it to family & friends.

Jacob's Barn is a beautifully converted former barn, built in the early 18th century.

Today it a stylish modern home which retains many original period features such as beamed ceilings and the original mill stone which now forms the centrepiece of the fountain outside.

Here, you can explore the fields and streams of the six-acre farm estate and you are welcome to use the grass tennis court or simply enjoy the tranquil location from the decked seating area.

Inside, the farmhouse kitchen is well equipped, and the large, comfortable lounge, off which is a games room with a table tennis, has an open fire.

Upstairs, the three pretty bedrooms are full of character, with ancient exposed beams and have lovely views of the surrounding countryside.
