  We had a lovely relaxing stay at this cottage.

  Wonderful views across the highest tors in Dartmoor. Great base for exploring NE and NW Dartmoor. Only 45 minutes to Bude on the coast which is worth a visit. The cottage had a delightful cream tea on arrival and the owners were very helpful and friendly. We had lots of wildllife to enjoy including Mr Mole, Sheep, geese, wild rabbits and a horse in the paddock. The cottage had all we needed for a comfortable stay including a log fire which was cosy. The small criticism was that the Christmas tree had a coating on it to stop the needles falling inside the cottage, and unfortunately this gave off a pungent smell like linseed oil in putty. This did cause breathing issues for me as I have asthma. Plus there were a few cobwebs in the rafters. But these are minor issues as the tree was for Christmas time at the cottage and not there all year round. The memory foam mattress takes getting used to as it can cause overheating during rest but still comfortable. There are occasional noises to accept as the property has public toilets on the outside wall of the property for the use of the campers. But overall the holiday experience was great and relaxing and I have already recommended the cottage to friends. Great base for exploring and great to have an enclosed garden to use in the summer plus great for pet dogs to run around in safely . It was great to have everything on the ground floor and the water is really hot for baths plus large bathroom with good shower and toilet. Great to have heated towel rail too. Nice and clean with nice soaps and plenty of towels. Just need to vacuum up the cob webs from the rafters plus check under the leather cushions on the sofa bed to vacuum a bit of dust, but apart from that it was a great cottage

  Well what can I say about our stay….. nothing but positives…. Firstly, how wonderful to meet Martin & Jakki. I had the pleasure of hearing about their journey to build the cabin. As individuals and a couple they are fantastic, lovely people, they really shine. All their efforts, time, planning, energy, blood, sweat and (probably) tears have paid off. They should be extremely proud of the cabin; it is not only aesthetically beautiful, but super cosy, comfortable, clean, and all the equipment you need. The attention to detail is wonderful and they have done a fantastic job. Whether you have a dog or not, I would highly recommend a stay here, but Place Farm Cabin is very canine friendly if you are travelling with a furry companion. Great location for exploring the beautiful Dartmoor National park and being in nature, and Devon in general, but close to amenities. I had a truly restorative break, I’m so grateful. Anything I needed / questions, they were super responsive and helpful. I’d only been there a couple of hours when I enquired if I could stay longer; unfortunately not this time, as there were new guests arriving on my departure. Had I been able to stay an additional night or two; no hesitation. I was sad to leave, but I’m already looking at the calendar to see when I can return. Martin & Jakki you have gone above and beyond, you deserve all the good reviews & positive things coming your way. Nothing but good vibes and a BIG THANK YOU. Look forward to seeing you both soon, Bindi The Big Dog & Hannah

  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.

  We booked a week's stay at View The Gallery for New Year 2023.

  When we arrived, the barn was warm & welcoming along with a homemade cream tea from Gill, which was lovely & much needed plus a beautifully decorated Christmas tree! Unfortunately we picked the worst week in history to stay, as we endured sideways rain for the majority of our holiday but that didn't dampen our stay! The facilities were great, being able to store & cook all of the food we wanted, a huge bathroom with more than enough hot water (& lovely towels too!), Smart TVs (which we had to make use of given the weather on some days!), nice secure garden for our dogs to wander around in & private parking. The town is a short drive away with a great choice of supermarkets & shops. The barn is situated in a rural area so was fantastically peaceful with easy access to Dartmoor! Visit Meldon Reservoir, you will not be disappointed! We had our perfect New Year despite the weather & will definitely be back again! Thank you Gill & Derek for your kind hospitality!
