Swallow cottage was lovely, very clean and had beautiful views. Malcolm was very welcoming & helpful, we had an issue with the hot tub and he came over and sorted it straight away. A little far out from any town but this made it even more relaxing. Would definitely go back

The cottage is well named...we much enjoyed watching the swallows. It is a very peaceful setting with nice views and deer spotted. Comfortable accommodation. Good supply of hot water. This is rural North Devon so dont expect to get to places quickly. Once you accept the slower pace of life it is very relaxing!
