  • "We had a lovely stay at Swallows Barn March 2024."

    We had a very long drive from Maylandsea,Essex. Arrived to freshly made shortbread , milk in the fridge & beautiful tulips on the table. David introduced himself, and was very accommodating for us to contact him if we required anything. As described Swallows is remote , but short drive into Dartmouth or Totnes. 1st night we decided to have a Chinese. Ordered from Phoenix in Totnes. As expected a delivery charge, but the meal was lovely. Highly recommend. We did plan on going to Dartmouth castle but closed Mon-Friday atm. We chose to go to Teignmouth zoo on the better day weather wise. We enjoyed throughly . Followed by a meal at the seafront at The View bar & Cafe (amazing fish & chips). Swallows had all you need to cook meals , wash/ dry clothes (very much needed for us after being caught in a few downpours). The home is clean & tidy. I’m very particular with things like this so it was nice to relax . The bed are comfortable. Enough pillows & towels. We didn’t get to use the garden but I’m sure it’s lovely with nice weather to have breakfast. Kate kindly sent us a message asking if we would like any croissants for the Sunday morning. We picked up some bits already from Food for Thought in Totnes yummy pastry’s & flapjacks! Totnes high street has a lot going on yet feels traditional (it is steep). We also had a day in Plymouth at the aquarium then a walk around the boats before food. Highly recommend. When parking out & about we set up a RingGo account. So easy to use & found parking very cheap. Thank you for being so accommodating to us. Highly recommend

    Thank you so much for your lovely and very comprehensive feedback. It will be very useful for future guests. We are so happy you enjoyed your stay even if the weather was not very kind! Kate and David. Property Owner

  • "Swallows Barn is an excellent property."

    It has been renovated to a very high standard with lovely furnishing. Comfy sofas, beds and bedding made us feel very cosy. It has great kitchen to cook in. We loved the patio and garden area with a covered area for sitting if needed. Kate and David made us feel very welcome, and had put the heating on for us. Plus had left us a welcome tin of the best homemade flapjacks! Thank you Kate and David, we will be back!

    Thank you so much for such a lovely review, much appreciated. We very much look forward to seeing you again. Property Owner

    Bbq and fire pit a real highlight, with an open summer house overlooking the patio effectively weather proofing any bbq plans. Cottage is situated off a quiet lane. David and Kate were exceptional hosts - thank you both for a wonderful stay.

About the location

DARTMOUTH

Totnes 12 miles.

Dartmouth lies on the banks of the beautiful River Dart estuary in the popular and picturesque South Hams area of South Devon. Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and close to the coast, Dartmouth is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Devon. It offers a stunning waterfront, ancient narrow streets lined with boutique shops, restaurants and art galleries plus many local events such as the annual Dart Music Festival and the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, along with the Dartmouth Food Festival held every October. There are many interesting cycling and walking routes around Dartmouth, including the South West Coast Path, the Dart Valley Trail and plenty of quiet country lanes. A trip on the Dartmouth Steam Railway through picturesque countryside to Paignton is a must, and so is a boat trip across to Kingswear and on to Brixham, a pretty little harbour town. For those seeking some beach activities, there is a wide choice in the South Hams area such as Blue Flag Award winner Blackpool Sands, and Slapton Sands, both extremely popular and just a stone's throw from Dartmouth. A relaxing location in South Devon.
