This delightful, refurbished barn conversion is the perfect space for a group of up to six people, a perfect escape to the country!

From the spacious parking area you will be met by the charming Cottage, with rustic red brick work as well as features from the original barn.

As you enter the property into the open plan living and dining area you will find this to be the perfect space for a get together with a group of friends or family with a spacious yet homely feel. The authentic timber beams that grace the ceilings & walls really do fill the property with rustic charm and with vibrant yet tasteful decor this really gives a contemporary twist on a traditional property. Get stuck into your favourite series in from of the TV on the plush leather sofa and for the cooler evenings, cuddle up next to the electric fire.

Follow through into the light and airy kitchen, you will find everything you need to cook up a storm or equally for a loved one to prepare you breakfast in bed! This well equipped area complete with washing machine & tumble drier for those longer stays as well as a central breakfast bar. With a sky light and also a glass door to the outside area, let the natural light flood in as you spend time in the heart of the home.

Downstairs you will find two of the three bedrooms that the property accommodates, one being a cosy twin room and the second double bedroom which comes complete with dresser and additional storage. Additional to the bedrooms is a stylish bathroom with walk in shower, hand basin & the perfect bath tub to fill with bubbles for a relaxing soak.

Head upstairs to the master bedroom, a spacious area with a king size bed, dressing table and also TV for those early nights. Timber beams also feature on the first floor giving a cosy feel to the again, modern decor. The shower room can be found on this floor, with a walk in shower & heated towel rail.

Soak up the sunshine in the enclosed garden on the comfy outside seating area and the real added extra..? The private hot tub, watch the sun go down with a glass of bubbly in hand from the warm and relaxing bubbles. Swallows Rest is even pet friendly so your four legged friend doesn't need to miss out on the holiday fun.

Beautiful place

We loved our stay here, the remote location was perfect for us, peaceful yet only a short drive to shops if needed. The highlight was definitely the night sky, being able to sit in the hot tub under the stars and even see the Milky Way was incredible! The place had almost everything we needed (there was no salt on arrival), and it was warm and cosy, which made it really relaxing.

That said, there are a few things that could be improved. Cleanliness wasn’t quite up to the standard we’d expect for the price, for example, we noticed lots of dead flies under the blinds and some leftover facial hair behind a sink in one of the bathrooms. Our group also mentioned a couple of other cleanliness issues upstairs and something broken on the toilet. Nothing that ruined our stay, but worth noting.

We also thought a bit more seating in the living room would make a big difference. With five of us, it was tricky to all get comfortable on the sofa and armchair, and the bean bags didn’t feel like proper seating.

Overall though, it’s a beautiful place in a wonderful location, and we had a really lovely, relaxing time. With a few small improvements, it would be absolutely perfect.
