Built in the early 18th century, Jacob's Barn is a beautifully converted former barn. Today it a stylish, contemporary holiday home which retains many original period features. The original mill stone now forms the centrepiece of the fountain outside. You are welcome to use the grass tennis court or simply enjoy the peaceful six acre farm estate from the decked seating area. Inside, there is a well-equipped farmhouse kitchen and a large, comfortable lounge with open fire, off which is a games room with a table tennis. Upstairs, the three pretty bedrooms have ancient exposed beams and offer 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. Note: Pets are charged at 30.00 per pet, per week (or short break)
