Cottage Farm is a small traditionally run, sustainable organic farm near Jacobstow in North Cornwall. Our animals spend all their lives on our farm grazing peacefully on the lush green permanent pastures of our fields. No fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides are applied. Further more, our animals are fed almost exclusively on grass: no supplements and no GM feeds.

Most beef available in shops is from Continental breeds which grow fast and big. To support this rate of growth they need to be fed vast quantities of supplementary GM fodder, as those are the cheapest.

In contrast we have chosen a local, traditional breed, the Red Ruby North Devon cattle, which are well suited to the conditions in Cornwall, do well simply on grass and do not need any supplementary feed.

As a result, our meat is beautifully marbled, tender and delicious as well as having an excellent flavour. It is also very pleasing to think what happy and peaceful lives the animals have led on our farm: no stress, just open fields of green grass, their idea of heaven!

As Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall says in his River Cottage Meat book: "The Red Ruby cattle have an excellent, mild temperament and are extremely well adapted  to unfertilized grazing. Bred to withstand harsh winters, they grow more slowly and have natural ability to put on fat reserves. It is this natural growth pace and natural diet that makes the close-grained, well-marbled meat British beef at its best. They simply produce the best beef I have ever tasted."

Enough said. Try one of our fresh meat boxes and I assure you you will not be disappointed. Just look at our excellent feedback!

Cottage Barn is a home from home. It is cosy, well equipped and has a spectacular galleried bedroom on the first floor. The barn is located in the farming village of Jacobstow near Bude and when you stay here you really are in the middle of farm life unlike so many barn conversions where farming is long forgotten. With its stone exterior and exposed beams, granite blocks and a rough plaster finish inside, Cottage Barn has loads of character. Dogs are welcome [2 max.] but please look at our 'Things You Need to Know Page' for further details. If you are bringing a dog please ensure that it is either 'animal proof' or well supervised as there are chickens, geese and sheep in adjacent fields as well as dairy and beef herds nearby*. 
 
Cottage Barn has two bedrooms, the upstairs galleried bedroom has a double bed plus a single bed. Downstairs there is a bedroom with twin beds and a chair bed that makes into a single bed. There is an additional chairbed in the dining room. Cottage Barn can therefore accommodate up to 6 people in a variety of bed combinations (!) but to be honest becomes a bit crowded if 6 adults are using it.
 
The garden has been extended this year [2008] and now comprises a grassy section plus a 3-tiered area with gravel, planted and paved sections so that you can follow the sun all day, starting on the chairs next to the conservatory and ending up sitting at the table on the paved patio at the end of the garden, catching the last rays as the sun sets behind the barn next door.
 
For quiet nights in, the barn is equipped with:
  •  digital tv and video player + selection of videos
  •  DVD player + a selection of DVD's
  •  ipod docking station
  •  books, games and videos 
  •  CD/radio

and a lovely conservatory complete with fairy lights, ideal for chatting and relaxing on warm summer nights.

We have acquired a couple of little bar-b-q's which visitors have left behind, nothing 'posh' but perfectly adequate for cooking your lunch or supper so don't feel you need to pack your own.     

If you don't want to cook there are numerous pubs and restaurants within a short drive [or you could walk to The Wainhouse, the nearest pub]. Details of several are on the noticeboard in the hallway at the barn, with comments left by guests so that you get an honest opinion as to what is on offer at the various places
