Really lovely cottage and very comfortable. Ate out every day except for a takeaway from the village Chinese which was very good. Visited Sidmouth, Beer, Budleigh Salterton and Exmouth and found good places for food in all of them. We have friends who want to visit this area and we have advised them to book Swallowfield Cottage.

Lovely cottage. All you need to have a great holiday. A few teething problems with the Wifi, but as soon as the owner found out it was sorted. Very comfortable and clean. A great welcome pack too. We will be back!
