We were made so welcome & told history of the property by Iain & Jack which was very interesting. The venue was ideal for what we wanted. Decor was quirky & all the candles/smellies/toiletries around made the property smell amazing. Scones for us on arrival was a lovely touch. Nothing was too much trouble. Very helpful with anything we needed & did everything to make our time relaxing & enjoyable. We loved the property & would be more than happy to recommend it to others & will hopefully look to stay again. Thank you Iain, Jack & Gracie

I find it hard to find any fault .. if I have to then it would be that maybe we could have been offered clean towels during our stay as we had the same ones … one each .. for 4 nights.

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.

I had a bad feeling about the video surveillance in the living room and hallway, which we only discovered last evening. It would be advisable to have a visible indication of video surveillance in the living room, so that people could decide whether they wanted to be exposed to it.

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 would leave or arrive, the boys would pop their heads out of the front door to make sure we were sorted. This is the kind of service you could only expect from the best 5 star hotels. 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.

Parking was hit and miss outside the house, but we were fine with that as there are cheap carparks nearby. We did park the car in the available spaces between 16:00 and 10:00.

I highly recommend this beautiful guest house to anyone visiting the area. The owner couldn't have been any nicer when I arrived, spending time showing me around and explaining where everything was. The location is right in the heart of Tavistock. So everything is all within a short walking distance. The room was lovely with the most comfortable bed I think I have ever slept in. Everything was exceptionally well presented with high standards of cleanliness. I really couldn't recommend One Drake Road highly enough.

As you can probably gather from what I have written previously I really struggle to find any faults. The only thing which I found slightly annoying was the guests in the next room. They were a tad loud when they arrived back in from town. However, thankfully it didn't last long and soon the old house was silent again. That was just individual guests though and shouldn't reflect badly on this wonderful guest house.

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.

There was NOTHING not to like

We stayed at the apartment and we had a special welcome by Jack, Iain and Gracie. The apartment is stunning and you feel like you enter an interior design magazine! The details are amazing and nothing is there by chance. We loved the choice of luxurious skin care products, definitely a special treat. We were surprised to find freshly baked homemade scones when we arrived, a sweet and appreciated gesture. The beds were really comfortable and having a small but fully equipped kitchen was helpful for us. We enjoyed the comfort and cosiness of the shared lounge. We definitely recommend a stay at One Drake Road, it makes you feel special, being in an eclectic and thriving building. We will be happy to come and visit again. Thank you, Jack and Iain, for proving such a unique space!

The property was beautifully presented and immaculately clean. The location was close to the centre of town. The hosts Iain and Jack were very friendly and helpful and resolved a small issue we had promptly. The room had a lovely ambience, we arrived to classic fm on in the room. There were numerous quality toiletries available to use. There is a stunning drawing room where you can sit and relax or read. Good base for exploring Dartmoor.

This is a superbly run, incredibly well stocked and sumptuously decorated B&B. Jack could not have been more welcoming or helpful throughout our 3 night stay. Breakfast, delivered to our room, was delicious and beautifully presented. The bed and linen was really comfortable. We'll be back as it really felt like a home from home.

Everything exceeded my expectations.
