We had a lovely stay at Swallow Barn. It is very peaceful, and a short drive from some lovely beaches. The communication with the hosts was excellent and they were quick to respond if we had any enquiries. The cottage had everything we needed and we wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if we were in the area. Lovely garden to enjoy a cup of tea in the sunshine. The kitchen was very well equipped for cooking in the cottage which we did most nights. We didn't have a dog with us but the garden is very secure for dogs. Thanks for a lovely stay!

We had an amazing week here. There was nothing we needed that we did not find at this property. The gift pack was very useful & appreciated. The property was very clean and comfortable. We would definitely stay here again in the future. It’s in a lovely quiet location but also very close to the shops for all our needs. There was plenty for us to do again not having to drive too far to get there. If you like visiting costal areas this will exceed your expectations. The kids and dogs loved the sandy beaches.
