One Drake Road, Tavistock, Devon

It's an incredible place, never stayed anywhere like it. The art and the decor were fascinating, and everywhere you look, you see something else that you hadn't seen before. A lovely ambience with Reed defusers and relaxing piped music throughout. Iain and Jack couldn't be more helpful and even moved their car out of its garage so we could park our motorbike securely. Our room had a shared bathroom, which, despite my misgivings, proved not to be an issue. We will definitely be back Pip +Jayne.

The house, the design of the rooms and especially the colour scheme are extraordinary and have inspired us to be bolder in our own house in terms of colour design. Jack has helped to make our holiday one of the best in recent years with many tips on special places. Above all, we will remember his warm and friendly manner.

Iain and Jack were the absolute stars of One Drake Road, and everything was extraordinary, so that’s saying a lot. They are jovial and warm, welcoming and familiar and they gave us the best advice for every facet of our stay. They are the Devon and Cornwall tour guides that we didn’t expect, but certainly needed and we are SO grateful. Every time we left or arrived, the boys would pop their heads out of the front door to make sure we were all sorted. Having this sort of service made it feel like a 5 star hotel. The property was also INCREDIBLE. We didn’t want to leave. It was clean and comfortable and homely, the boys have done an exceptional job on the design. It feels like home, but better decorated. The toiletries were out of this world. I didn’t need to wash my hair, but I did, because smelling like geranium felt like an opportunity I shouldn’t miss out on. We cannot wait to come back. Chloé, George and Molly.

We received a super welcome from Ian and Jack. The history of the house is fascinating, making the stay that bit more special. We were in the apartment where the fragrant welcome strikes you as you enter. The rooms are spacious, beautifully decorated and furnished, retaining a rustic charm inkeeping with the period of the house. The small 'kitchen area' is all you need, great fridge too. We were able to use the living room upstairs, so felt as if we were more than just guests. Ian and Jack are the consumate hosts, with nothing being too much to ask. If you're staying in Tavistock, this is the place to stay.

This was the most relaxing and wonderful few days in as many years as I can remember. The lads were so attentive and helpful. The drawing room a haven with a beer and a book. The bedrooms and bathrooms were pristine and the bed so very comfortable. No stone was left unturned, with a pletherer of creams, shampoos, conditioners, lotions, and potions. A tea and coffee station was wonderful. But the decor of this home was just perfect. A perfect stay- and amazing value.
