Great stay, had a small problem with the hot tub. Owners came round within half hour and sorted the problem, great communication.

This beautifully presented spacious property was situated on a hill with stunning views of the countryside. The owners were very friendly and helpful and dealt with our queries promptly. There was a lovely welcome pack which included freshly baked bread, cake, biscuits, coffee and tea etc. This was an ideal place to stay for 14 members of the North London MG Club with great facilities including a large parking area for all our cars!

Your house is absolutely stunning and perfect for family and friends to get together. Myself and family had an amazing time and wouldnt hesitate to visit again and also recommend to others.

Fabulous stay at the lodge, everyone thoroughly enjoyed their stay. Everything we needed was supplied including tea, coffee, sugar and milk in the fridge for our arrival. Also the fab smell of baking bread, we loved the bread and biscuits left for us, nice touch.Only a slight complaint from us ladies of a certain age, it was very hot in the house and we couldnt turn down the heating. Most slept with windows open but we were reluctant to do this on ground floor.Absolutely recommend the lodge and hope to visit in the summer sometime in the future.

This property is marvellous. We were a party of 12 with little ones, teenagers and other varying ages and it was perfect for them all. The house is immaculate and the 6 ensuites and family bathroom really appreciated. The layout of the kitchen, dining and living room areas work very well and members of the party can go to the hot tub and sauna or to the games room a full size pool table would have been the icing on the cake. The little ones can go to the second sitting room to watch a film when necessary or others can watch football on a bigger screen. To top it all the surrounding countryside is really beautiful. All in all a perfect holiday home.

Amazing weekend at Jacobs Lodge. The Lodge is AMAZING and has everything you need. The kitchen is well stocked up with everything you will need to stay here for a week . There is an iron, washing machine, hairdryer etc so you don't need to pack heavy!Hot tub and games room was a HUGE hit with the kids, in the summer you can open it all up but it was definetly a good idea to keep it closed during these freezing months!The bedrooms apart from 1 all have en suites which is great and very handy when there is so many of you. The beds were very comfy!The communication from Karen the owner was excellent and she was so helpful! It is a 2 min walk to the pub but we didn't go. The view is stunning and I can imagine in the summer it's amazing to sit out and go on a walk. I would highly recommend this place. We didn't want to go home!!!

The lodge was absolutely perfect for our family . .all 3 generations were catered for by the available facilities. The welcome treats though unexpected were a lovely thoughtful gesture appreciated by us all ! Everything you could need was available and it was immaculate throughout. We were all really impressed and nobody wanted to leave lol so we are all sorting schedules to return next year for a longer period of time. A credit to the owners who kindly popped in to make sure we were happy with everything not long after we arrived which was also really appreciated. If you are considering this property for your break away all I can say is dont hesitate you will not be disappointed!!

What an amazing place! It was perfect for a group of three generations, with the ground floor for grandparents and kids up at the top. Stunning views, two comfy living spaces, the amazing hot tub and games room, and a lovely welcoming pub just over the road. Really well supplied with all the kitchen kit you could ever need, and a massive fridge the only improvement might be another jumbosized saucepan for big dinners. Karen and her family were on hand to answer any questions. There's even board games and an excellent array of holiday reading on the bookshelf if you fancy a rest! I'd recommend the little walk down towards the village, along the brow of the hill and down to the beck for a wade on a hot day.Really delighted to have found Jacob's Lodge and we'll definitely keep it on our list for big family gettogethers. PS Karen I'm sorry we forgot to write in the visitor's book!

We had the most amazing time at Jacobs Lodge, the facilities and amenities were second to none and the service didnt disappoint. The owners were friendly, reliable and couldnt do enough to accommodate. I will definitely be booking and staying again. This allowed me to make my 30th birthday so special and I will cherish the memories forever. Thank you

Beautiful house is fabulous surroundings. Our family all agreed that the house was stunning and clearly maintained to a very high standard.The only very small niggle was each day during our stay David came to visit unnanounced and we felt we were being hurried to leave on checkout day. The hot tub was drained around 9am despite the children still being in the games room playing and us not needing to vacate until 10am.Other than that we can't fault the property and would recommend it to other families for their gatherings.

Brilliant Weekend in a fabulous property with amazing views What an amazing property this is. So well kitted out for every need.Large open plan living dining kitchen area with floor to ceiling windows which faced onto a beautiful view of the countryside. Another living room with large TV on the next floor. Separate games room sauna hot tub area which went down a treat with us all.The smell of the homemade bread cooking as you walked through downstairs was a real treat along with the biscuits and cake left for us.David called over to see if everything was OK and just to give us a little rundown on various things around the house, a nice touch.The 7 bedrooms were all of a good size, 6 having ensuite bathrooms. There is a lovely large bathroom which is on the same floor as the bedroom without an ensuite.Lovely walks and a great friendly pub just across the road.
David - Jan 2024
From the moment we arrived we were blown away by the house and its views. We were greeted by David who took us around the house and explained everything. The fresh bread baking away and other goodies in the kitchen were a lovely surprise!! We are a large family from 2 months old upwards everyone could enjoy the facilities and comfort they needed. The leisure block with the games room and hot tub were well used and enjoyed by all. The location 10 minutes drive from Barnard Castle was great, Raby Castle and High Force waterfalls were very close by and we had a couple of lovely days out.We would definitely recommend this house, the location and facilities were perfect for us, we will be back!!

We have stayed away many times as a large group of 15 people of varied ages currently 4 months to 79 years and Jacobs Lodge is one of the best properties we have stayed in. Especially liked the 2 separate living areas and the extremely well equipped kitchen. Nobody drew the short straw bedroom wise as all but one twin were ensuite and that person had exclusive use of the family bathroom. For being such a large property it was warm and cosy and the separate building housing the hot tub, sauna and games room was well used. Pub within 2 mins with good food and friendly locals was great. Owner called to make sure all ok first night and the cake, biscuits and homemade bread were the icing on cake literally. Will deffo be looking to stay again

Twelve of us, between 9 and 85 years old, thoroughly enjoyed Jacob's Lodge. It was very comfortable, clean and warm and had everything we needed. The views were glorious. The Christmas tree was an appreciated touch as were the treats on arrival. The owners were very obliging and could not have been more helpful.
Kelly - Dec 2023
What a wonderful cottage, well thought through and had everything to meet everyones needs. We were aged 7 to 70 and we all had a wonderful weekend. The weather was typical for December and yet were were kept entertained the whole time, whether it was movies in the TV room, trips to the hot tub, taking in the views or enjoying the games room the cottage provided it all. We had Sunday lunch in the nearby put which was nothing special but nice & went to High Force which was only 15mins away for a walk, which was beautifu, especially as there had been so much rain!Ive stayed in plenty large cottages and would certainly recommend Jacobs Lodge.
Sharon - Dec 2023
A group of 12 visited Jacobs Lodge in December and I have to say I could not find a single faultdownside to this place. So much so we booked for next year as we were leaving. Ground floor bedrooms are perfect if any mobility issues. All bedrooms except 1 have ensuite which I think is perfect for larger groups of people. Everything you need is available. Fully stocked kitchen and the huge Christmas tree was just a beautiful touch. Every room was immaculate, hot tubsaunagames room was just amazing. Owners were super friendly, location was perfect for us with stunning views. I could go on and on at how much we loved this place, but if anyone is having any doubts about booking just do it you wont regret it at all.
