“Had a lovely Christmas here, the cottage meet our needs very much, very comfortable, lots of loos!”

!!!! The bed in the master bedroom was so very comfortable, and the room was huge, the only gripe we had was no proper shower in the en suite, had to go down to the wet room on the ground floor for a shower, kitchen well stocked, lovely tree, all in all lovely stay!!!

“Swallows Barn provides everything you need and to a comfortable and quality standard.”

I think if the weather was good it would be a perfect setting to open all the doors onto the garden in the evenings and enjoy a glass of wine! The only improvement would be more outside lighting both in the garden and leading to or over the front door.

The Owners thank you for you feedback. They are pleased that you enjoyed your stay at Swallows Barn. In respect of your suggested improvements regarding additional exterior lighting, we would advise that due its rural location they have to be very mindful of light pollution and the impact on neighbouring properties.

“Swallows Barn is a gorgeous holiday cottage.”

We found it had everything we needed. It was beautifully presented and very well equipped. The garden is super too - a large sun deck, plenty of lawn for playing on and access to it via doors from lounge and kitchen. Also totally private. We were a party of 6 adults, 1 infant and 1 dog. It was perfect for all of us. It was large enough for us to have our own privacy or for us all to be together. The owners made us feel very welcome immediately on arrival by leaving flowers, biscuits, wine and milk as well as treats for our dog. The feel good factor kicked in straight away. Woolston is a tiny hamlet but beaches, coastal walks, cafes, shops and pubs are close by. We all loved the beaches and the cliff walks with wonderful views and there are lots of places to visit nearby. This was a holiday cottage of a very high standard and the surrounding area was super too. We will certainly go back.

“Could not have wished for anything more.”

From the beautiful christmas decorations to the thoughtful welcome gift . It was a stay in a beautiful home.

“The guests in the downstairs room twin had visits from toads most nights.”

This did not worry them unduly but some people may have been upset by this. Netting needs puting up to stop them getting in. Some coffee tables would be useful in the sitting room beside the sofas to avoid putting drinks on the floor. Otherwise this was a super holiday home with god bed linen, big towels and comfy beds. Many thanks for the flowers, wine and yummy biscuits on arrival. We had a really good time.

“Frist class accommodation, tastefully furnished and exceptionally well equipped.”

Owners quick to respond with any problem.

“Staff at Helpful Holidays went out of their way to find us a suitable cottage for our Devon Holiday.”

Swalllows Barn was just perfect. It was extremely well equipped and has only missed a maximum score as we felt a second ‘proper’ rather than over the bath hand held shower would have been appreciated with 3 couples sharing. Thank you.
