“Fabulous, sublime and stupendous”

What can we say, what a beautiful cottage with amazing fields! The extra little details made all the difference, plus even dog treats left in the welcome basket with scones ect. Hosts we lovely and very accommodating and I will most definitely be staying again, but longer next time. Well worth the money and dog friendly which is a massive bonus. Do not hesitate to book this barn, we did not get to use the grass tennis court but will next time.

“How far did we go in exceeding your expectations?”

Exceeded Expectations (3 out of 3) Would you like to tell us anything else about this holiday? We booked Jacobs Barn to celebrate my wife’s 30th birthday. After we made our booking we spoke to Helen - the owner of Jacobs Barn, who was an absolute delight to talk to. She was so helpful and patient with all our questions, provided us with various amenities in the cottage to ensure my wife and I, my brother in law, sister in law and their 10 month old were very comfortable. She provided us with a cot, highchair and baby security gates to help make our stay even more convenient. She also reassured us about the safety measures in place with respect to COVID at the cottage. Prior to our trip, she kept in touch with us and gave us recommendations for shops, restaurants nearby a detailed information pack. She asked us to contact her or her husband if we needed anything at all. When we arrived at Jacobs Barn, we were greeted with a very cozy and clean cottage. Helen and her husband Chris had left a lovely card and gift for my wife for her birthday. She also left us some delicious scones, clotted cream and jam. The cottage was spacious and had lots of room for a crawling 10 month old baby as well 4 adults. We felt right at home for the four days we spent at Jacobs Barn and will definitely be coming back soon!

“The house was fantastic never mind the outside area for our two dogs who usual like to go to the beach for a run and a swim they didn't bother about that loved the field they had it was more than enough for them, the owners couldn't be more helpful, the property was comfortable, very clean, the best we have ever stayed at as was so well equipped will be going again.”

The owner even kindly contacted us on our return re the dogs dishes we left behind. Can't speak highly enough of this property.

“My second visit to Jacobs Barn.”

Beautiful house in very good location for visits to popular places and very close to Dartmoor. The owners are so welcoming, we had a Devonshire tea waiting for us in the fridge and milk and tea, just what we needed after a long journey . The gardens are beautiful and our little boy and dogs had great fun. I would definitely return again as i can honestly say it is the best holiday home i have ever stayed in.

“Lovely hosts.”

Very welcoming. The cottage was gorgeous. Far enough in the country to feel well out of town/city life but close enough to make the short drive into town for coffee, restaurants and other typical tourist-type things. The cottage had all the domestic appliances you could need on holiday. The garden was large and impressive with a gorgeous terrace behind a brick barn which was within earshot of the calming influence of the nearby stream. We adored the cottage and will be going back next year.

“I would certainly recommended Jacob's Barn, we had such a lovely holiday.”

As a family with 3 children it is quite stressful to ensure our holiday accomodation meets our needs but I needn't have worried as this Barn was fantastic with plenty of room inside and out for the children to have their own space. The owners were really friendly and although we had no issues at all I was reassured if we needed anything they would be straight on it. We even had a incident were a special teddy (recently purchased at paignton zoo!) Was left behind on our return home and it was kindly posted to be reunited with children. I could not recommend this barn more, so family friendly! We would love to return and hopefully have glorious sunshine to enjoy the outside space more instead of the rain!

“Location is great, convenient for visiting Dartmoor, Tamar valley and both coasts.”

Outdoor facilities and space the best we have experienced with any holiday cottage we have rented. Owners on site, very lovely and very helpful. Cottage is well equipped, lounge/sitting room has great views over garden and a great, large TV and a superb fan for cooling on a hot day and a log burner for cold ones. Games room with table tennis table for friendly competitions.

“A lovely property in a great location, it was everything we wanted.”

Helen and Chris, the owners, were so welcoming and made us feel right at home. To be greeted with a homemade cake, chocolates and a bottle of prosecco to celebrate the new year and treats for the dogs were very unexpected but a wonderful gesture. Would certainly stay again.

The property

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.

A haven for walkers, the western edge of Dartmoor is home to the National Trust's Lydford Gorge, and Brentor.
