Snaptrip says

Jarrah is a well-received cottage in Devon, consistently praised for its cleanliness, comfort, and the welcoming nature of the hosts, Donna and Russ. Guests appreciate the beautiful gardens, the property's cleanliness, and the thoughtful touches such as a cream tea on arrival. While the location is generally liked for its proximity to local attractions, some guests note the busy road and the distance from the car park as considerations.

Guests that stayed at this property said

Guests unanimously commend the cottage for its spotless condition, with multiple reviews highlighting the exceptional cleanliness. The property is described as 'squeaky clean' and 'spotlessly clean', indicating a very high standard maintained by the hosts.

The location is mostly appreciated for its convenience to North Devon attractions and the natural beauty of the surroundings. However, some guests mention the proximity to a busy road and the challenge of parking as minor drawbacks.

Comfort is frequently mentioned, with guests finding the cottage warm, cosy, and well-equipped. The beds are noted as very comfortable, and the conservatory is a popular feature for relaxation.

The cottage is praised for being well-equipped and offering ample facilities, including a well-appointed kitchen and garden amenities. However, a few guests noted the absence of a freezer and the distance from the car park as areas for improvement.

Many reviews express gratitude for the thoughtful gestures by the hosts, such as the welcome cream tea and assistance with luggage. While these gifts are warmly received, it is noted that such personal touches, though common, are at the discretion of the hosts and may vary.

About this property

Barnstaple 5 miles. Next door to the owners’ house, one mile from the village of Muddiford, this charming cottage is just seven miles from the beautiful North Devon Coast. The cottage is in a peaceful rural setting overlooking a large garden, pony paddocks and private woodlands, making it an ideal holiday cottage for those looking for a quiet place to stay but with easy access to some of Devon’s best beaches. The large conservatory is a warm, bright room used for dining or relaxing whilst admiring the wonderful monkey puzzle tree and the colourful garden. This room leads into the cosy sitting room with electric fire and a soft comfy sofa, perfect for putting your feet up in front of the TV and watching a movie. There is a handy ground floor bedroom and bathroom plus two double bedrooms upstairs, one benefiting from an en-suite shower room. The enclosed rear patio is reached from the kitchen, and is a lovely sunny spot for eating your breakfast. The lawned area is enclosed by tall hedging, which makes it an ideal private area for relaxing and having an evening barbecue, whilst overlooking the paddock and woodland beyond. Guests are able to wander into the privately owned woods running alongside a stream, and full of roaming deer, interesting birds and badger tracks. A mile from the cottage is a 16th century coaching inn serving locally sourced produce and farther down the road is the wonderful Broomhill Sculpture Gardens with award-winning restaurant and host of the National Sculpture Prize, making a great day out. The wonderful North Devon beaches are only ten minute drives’ away and offer long sandy beaches such as Croyde, Saunton and Woolacombe. The harbour town of Ilfracombe has a lively heritage harbour where local boats are available for trips and fishing; or a special day out by ferry to Lundy Island plus a host of welcoming pubs and restaurants, Damien Hirst's Verity statue, and the quirky looking Landmark Theatre. A welcoming cottage in a quiet spot close to lovely beaches and coastal walks.

The busy coastal town of Barnstaple is situated at the mouth of the Taw Estuary. Barnstaple offers a pannier market, shops, restaurants and bars, along with two fabulous sandy beaches, which are popular with surfers and families.

  • Paul

    The property is well equipped and very comfortable. The owners live next door and are friendly and welcoming, though not intrusive. Jarrah is close to the attractions of North Devon. There was a lovely surprise of a welcome pack, including a cream tea and bottle of fizz. I can highly recommend a stay at Jarrah.

    This is one of the best places we have stayed and look forward to returning.

  • Andrew

    Everything we needed was to hand. It was clean and comfortable and a great base for our excursions around North Devon. The cream tea on the day of our arrival was a lovely touch, I would highly recommend a stay here. Thank you Donna and Russ for a lovely week.
