  We had a 2 night stay here after a camping trip and was greeted by the lovely owners who showed us round.

  Emma was brilliant with the children and directed them to the secret mud kitchen in the woods that was just beautiful. Theres lots for the children to do and play with. We were gifted some lemon cake and homemade juice which was absolutely yummy!!! The glamping tent was huge and comfortably slept all 5 of us whilst giving us lots of space within the main area of the tent. The cupboard bedroom was a real hit with my daughter. We had a hot tub which was super easy to get going (do this as soon as you can to be able to enjoy it as soon as you arrive). The grounds are just breathtaking as well as the peace and tranquility. We were offered to do the farm tour but my children decided to sleep in, so I embraced the opportunity to sit outside with a cuppa. The tent is so clean and tidy and felt like we were the first ones using it. The beds are really comfy and slept amazing.... we really wished we had stayed longer. Be prepared for absolute darkness at night, so an extra torch needs to be packed. We also took our gas stove for a quick brew in the morning rather than waiting for the stove to heat up which i would recommend taking.... also do remember to take slippers. We didn't do much exploring further out of the site as we were quite happy to explore the grounds and relax. We will definitely return if we are ever down south again. Thank you Aller Farm Camping x

  Absolutely fab!

  The owners are lovely too and provide some basics - tea, coffee, milk, fruit juice, some fresh tomatoes and a scrummy home baked loaf. The Hut is SO cute and romantic and so many little touches - my puppy loved the dog bed and leapt straight in! It’s lovely and quiet, with only the odd rumble of traffic if the wind blows towards you. It’s mainly the tweeting of birds and splashing of the river you’ll hear. There’s a couple of owls that hoot away every night and the cockerel will crow each morning. Blissful. If you don’t have a car, bear in mind that there are no facilities in Jacobstowe itself. Busses are every half hour or so, in either direction. The nearest supermarket is in Hatherleigh. Our one and only disappointment was the fact the nearest pub - in Exbourne - was closed due to Covid which is just unfortunate timing. We both really needed this total break from ‘real life’ and loved every minute. We were hoping for a new lockdown to be enforced before we could go home!! Even the puppy was sad to leave.

  Last minute booking for myself, husband and son (15) and what a find!

  Warm and welcoming host who was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about the local area and even left us a welcome bottle of bubbles and biscuits. The lodge was immaculately presented but still felt homely..even better than the pictures. It is situated with another in its own grounds with breathtaking views of the countryside and 2 lakes that are a stones throw away. The wildlife we saw and fed on our stay from Canadian geese with their young, ducks, rabbits and pheasants, to sit and watch the huge fish and dragonflies was truely magical. The lodge has everything you need, the beds are super comfortable, big fridge freezer, washing machine and dryer and of course the hot tub which was clean, hot and ready to get right into! If your looking for peaceful getaway or a beautiful base to explore Devon, I can't recommend staying here enough. We cant wait to return ..next time I'm bringing my fishing rod, binoculars and staying longer!! Thanks again The Farrer Family X

  Spacious lodge in a quiet setting with fishing lake which was a bonus.

  Caught some large carp. Clean throughout but getting abit tired in places. Recliner seats did not work. Dining room seats worn. Flooring was coming up in places. Little things which would have made it 5 star rating. Hot tub was well used. Although would have made it better if it was covered up as we had to use umbrellas in the rain. The lodge does have a washing machine/tumble dryer which is not mentioned in the property details. There are no instructions on how to use the cooker/microwave which was a problem. In the end we had to use Google to fathom to work them to cook things. You access the lodge via a long single track with hardly no passing places so beware. Nearest supermarket is back in Tiverton but there are two Spar shops in Bampton for the essentials but difficult to find somewhere to park. We would book again if we were looking for a peaceful setting.

  Linda & Kevin are wonderful hosts.

  We arrived for our stay on a Monday afternoon and were greeted by Linda who showed us to our private Shepherds Hut overlooking the river Okement. Inside our hut were a selection of home grown tomatoes, cucumber, butter and bread as well as complimentary tea and coffee, milk and juice etc. There was also a lovey little dog bed with towel and extras. The location of Jacobstowe is fantastic for visiting local attractions and we were able to visit both Devon and Cornish coastlines within a 30 to 40 mile radius. The weather was fantastic (August 2020) and we had such lovely evening walks. The river itself is great for a quick dip and we did have a swim or two in the lovely cool fresh waters. We couldn't fault this place and the wonderful history on the Mill. 100% recommend to all and we will most certainly be visiting again. Thank you.
