  Honestly the pictures shown do not do this property justice, the whole place is even more stunning than shown!

  ! Val and Steve were on hand to help with any problems you had (I had an issue with the shower in the morning, I messaged Val and she offered to get Steve to come and have a look at it. Turns out I just hadn’t turned it on properly). Their hosting skills were absolutely fantastic. The lodge was impeccably well put together, tidy and clean. The kitchen was fully functional and had the options of a washing machine and a dishwasher which made the stay a lot easier. Val and Steve went the extra mile and put balloons and banners up as they knew we were attending for my daughter’s 12th birthday, they even left a lovely card for her. She really was over the moon. The hot tub was heated and ready for us on arrival. There was lots of information sheets, DVD’s and the choice to book swimming which meant we had lots to do!! I have rated them on here as high as I could but they really do deserve the highest ratings!! We will definitely be booking to come back again in the future. I would also like to add that where the lodge is located it is very tranquil and quiet. I loved waking up in the mornings and seeing the view from the balcony when I went upstairs in the morning.

  Had a lovely week, lovely location, clean and very accommodating.

  Site staff were friendly. Tv aerial either faulty or needing better aerial, as tv required was required when raining and signal was playing up, connector seemed loose. Beds were comfy, bedding was clean. Trees could do with lopping back a bit to protect lodges. Games room was good fun. Pool times were awkward, and no availability outside when rain forecast, even though it didn’t rain. Also, pool shut early outside when plenty of sun and light would have allowed a swim. Never got to use outside pool due to restrictions. Inner pool said to book online but we were allowed in as it was almost empty and allowed to stay over booked time slot. Would definitely stay again and recommend to friends. Welcome pack of drinks and biscuits was a nice touch! Restaurant made good food and was dog friendly which was nice to see. Meals were large! Internet was weak, being in a valley, I guess. Thanks for a nice holiday!! Went to Eden project, Rock, Fowey, Padstow, Jamaica inn, camel train, Polperro, Poole, Tavistock ( Friday market). All great places. A visitors' book would be a nice add on to the lodge.

  The setting and location was lovely.

  The lodge could do with some investment as looking a little tired. Understand this is a holiday lodge but the table and chairs and settees and double bed were not the best. It was perfectly functionable though and did not ruin our stay. The lodge did smell damp downstairs, I believe this is to do with the area as mornings outside would be damp but if heating not turned on even for an hour to dry your bath towels etc then downstairs did not really warm through enough to dry out and I believe this also added to the dampness. Once turned on the space dried out and the smell disappeared. Might be worth noting this to potential guest to help combat this issue in the future. There was black mould on some of the windows and back of the curtains (although clean) you could see where this had been an issue. The decking outside also needed some maintenance. We had a wonderful stay and none of this effected our holiday but I think this might be helpful to future guests and the owner if not stayed at the property recently. The space and size of the property was ideal for us.

  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.

  This is a very well located lodge on a good site offering additional facilities which can sometimes be hard to come by, such as gym/swimming pool, restuarant/bar, shop and games room.

  The lodge itself is a fair size and well laid out, with a very nice feature of a first floor balcony which gets a good bit of sunshine throughout the day. Three double bedrooms, so good for larger parties or if you have guests. The kitchen has all the things you need for cooking, washing and cleaning. The owners are very friendly and we received a useful whatsapp message from them before the stay with the immediate bits of information we needed. The only negative we have, and I'm guessing this applies to all of these lodges as I think it's a building issue rather than a maintenance issue is that the air in the ground floor space is quite damp and you are greeted when you first enter with a fusty smell. This then transferred itself to our clothes over the course of the stay. Clearly this single issue wasn't a massive problem for us though. We liked the lodge and the site that much that we have booked again for next April!
