What our customers say about their holidays

  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.

  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.

  We originally booked the Bella Mere but, apparently owner cancelled 2 weeks before our stay?

  So after numerous phone calls to yourselves we managed to rearrange a different property on the same site which was a day later each end of the holiday, which meant we had less time with friends we went with. We stayed in the MoJo which was very unsettling & disruptive because of numerous issues we had with the hot water from day one & throughout which made us leave your site a day earlier . Before we set off to stay at the Mojo we were given £50 compensation which was really unacceptable as the arrangements & days were changed that’s including the arrangements we made back home too. We would like this matter looked into & compensation considered because of the various hot water & disruption throughout our stay, including days out with our friends who were staying in the ocean terrace.

  Where do I start!

  The Shepherds Hut is amazing. Location is perfect for sightseeing and visiting Dartmoor. Accommodation is located next to The river and is very peaceful. Owners have put a bird feeder outside the hut, so you can watch the wildlife including naughty squirrels. Owners have thought of everything. They provided bedding and towels. We arrived to a fresh loaf that had been made for us plus they had put butter, milk and fruit juice In the fridge. Accommodation has its own garden area with bbq, fire pit, table and chairs and pretty lights. Lovely area to sit in the evening and watch the wildlife. Owners very welcoming and friendly. They recommended a local farm shop just up the road, which makes very nice cider. If you want a relaxing break we would recommend staying here.

  This property is simply stunning and very well equipped. The layout was perfect for our family (all 18 people and 3 dogs had an amazing week). The location was perfect for us, the dogs were free to run along the beach together, and there were plenty of places locally to visit. One thing to note though, the website says dog friendly for up to 3 dogs but does not mention the restrictions. On arrival we read the visitors book to find out the dogs were not allowed upstairs or in the carpeted rooms downstairs. This caused inconvenience because 2 of the dogs are used to sleeping in the same room as their owners. This information would have been useful to know from the website, prior to booking as we could have better prepared for where the dogs would sleep.
