Swallows Nest is an inviting mezzanine retreat set in Widecombe-in-the-Moor near Postbridge, Devon.
Positioned within a cobbled courtyard on a working farm in the heart of Dartmoor National Park, this home welcomes couples and friends, along with one well-behaved pooch.
With off-road parking and a rustic interior, this conversion blends simplicity with charm.
Inside, the open-plan living space awaits, where a woodburning stove casts a gentle glow across the sitting area.
The dining table provides a spot for relaxed meals, while the kitchen offers all you need for self-catering, including an electric double oven and hob.
A staircase rises to the mezzanine double bedroom, creating a distinctive layout that feels both practical and atmospheric.
On the ground floor, a bathroom with a bath and handheld shower completes the accommodation.
Beyond the farm, Dartmoor’s dramatic scenery invites exploration.
Stroll into Widecombe-in-the-Moor to discover its historic church, quaint tearooms, and village charm.
Journey to Postbridge, where the ancient clapper bridge and riverside walks promise memorable moments.

What guests are saying
I had a very enjoyable week at Swallows Nest.
The location was quiet apart from when the builders were working on the adjacent property but this had no impact on my stay as I was out most of the day. Swallows Nest had all that I wanted , it was clean and tidy and the bed was very comfortable. I would gladly stay again
Can't recommend Swallows Nest highly enough.
We were very sad to leave on Friday. It is a lovely property, cosy, spotlessly clean and very well provisioned with everything you need from a 'home from home'. The scenery on the door step is spectacular with all the Dartmoor wildness and wildlife that you could wish for. Thank you to Gillian and James who were friendly and welcoming - I suspect we will be back next year as it makes a great location to explore the rest of Devon from.
Wonderful locations out of the way in Dartmoor and lovely cute cottage.
There is a new water heater etc which is great but needs a water pump as pressure on the show is not good.
