Swallows Cottage

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at swallow cottage and honestly couldn’t have asked for more.

From the moment we arrived, it was clear how much care and attention had gone into creating such a beautiful, welcoming place. The cottage was tastefully decorated, and equipped with everything we could possibly need, making it feel like a real home from home. The location was perfect for relaxing and exploring the surrounding area, we particularly loved the farm side of our stay and even gave one sheep a pet name. The hosts Jayne and Rowan were fantastic—friendly, helpful, and genuinely committed to making sure we had the best possible stay. Their hospitality really made all the difference, we were especially grateful for the lemon cake on arrival. We left feeling refreshed and already talking about when we can come back. Without a doubt, one of the best holiday cottages we’ve ever stayed in. Highly recommended!

Swallow cottage was just perfect.

So spacious and comfortable with lovely views from the patio. Jayne and Rowan were the perfect hosts. We loved it so much we have already rebooked.

What a lovely place for a few days of rest & relaxation.

The location is stunning with beautiful views and rolling countryside all round but only a short drive into Honiton. The cottage was lovely and spacious yet cosy. It was lovely and warm so we didn't need to light the log burner. Kitchen is well equipped with plenty of prep areas and a generous fridge freezer. We would highly recommend the cottage to everyone. Thank you for a lovely break. X

Perfect hideaway in idyllic rolling countryside.

Our first stop on a Devon tour, we spent a week here with our pup. Gorgeous comfortable cottage, everything you need for an easy relaxed stay. Warm and cosy at night time. Owners are very lovely, left us a scrumptious cake for our arrival x thank you x Swallows Cottage is a delight, perfect first stop ❤️ put it on your list.

Fabulous location and wonderful property.

The owners, Jayne and Rowan are lovely extremely helpful. It's a property I look forward to returning to.

We had a wonderful time.

The cottage was perfect, and everything you could need was provided. The owners made us very welcome, and we will definitely been returning in the near future. PERFECT, JUST PERFECT.

Comfortable, spacious cottage in a lovely location and Jayne was a wonderful host, very attentive and communicative and sorted issues out very quickly.

However, customers are not just paying for somewhere to sleep and far more attention needs to be placed on the customer experience in terms of cleanliness and maintenance of the property and furnishings, both inside and out.

I loved the cottage and the farm.

I thought the hosts were very special and lovely people.

It was such a peaceful and relaxing retreat, and the warmth of your family-run farm really made it special.

Everything about the cottage was perfect, and I truly appreciated the care and thoughtfulness you’ve put into it. Thank you again for your hospitality – I hope to visit again soon!

We had an amazing holiday here (2 humans & 2 dogs ) .

The cottage is comfortable , clean & equipped with everything you need ! . It was lovely to be able to wander around the farm the dogs ran miles across the open fields & spent hours just sat watching the sheep the field next to us . The view from the patio is breathtaking. Thank you Jayne & family we have come home feeling very relaxed & refreshed xx

Perfect location, near to owner's farmhouse residence, delightful rural views.

Peaceful and friendly farm setting, guests welcome to explore. Property very clean and well cared-for, fully and thoughtfully equipped, very comfortable beds and bedrooms.

Thank you Jayne and Rowan for sharing your idyllic piece of Devon with us!

Our stay was comfortable and homely with everything we come possibly need. Fabulous countryside and perfect for dog walking. Disappointed that we missed the calves being born but lovely to walk around the farm and be woken by the sheep on a morning. Delicious lemon cake too! Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!

We had a much needed relaxing break in this stunning character property.

The cottage was stunning. It was well equipped, cosy and homely with beautiful views in a stunning location. It was a pleasure to be surrounded with cows, sheep and horses and have such amazing views. Jane and Rowan were very hospitable, relaxed and friendly hosts who were on hand if we needed anything. We are super grateful for Rowans quick calm assistance in getting us back on the road when we were due to leave and discovered we had a flat battery! Thank you so much both of you for an amazing week :)

Cannot recommend the Swallows enough.

Had a great 7 nights with my three children there. A great base for seeing East Devon and the cottage itself is absolutely lovely and has a real homely feel and you don’t want for anything. Lovely walks around the farm and evening the rainy days couldn’t take away from a great holiday. If you have the chance stay here. We will be back as the children loved it.

A cottage in the countryside but convenient for the coast and Exeter.

Facilities are excellent and the host welcoming and attentive. I loved the beams in the roof and the aroma of lavender at the door even at the end of September. Highly recommended.

A warm welcome from Jayne.

Lovely cottage, fully equipped with lovely views across the fields from a private patio area. Lots of chats with Rowan about their plans to be as bio diverse and environmentally friendly as they can be. Quiet and peaceful and dark skies for star gazing. Great position to explore local sites, and plenty of places to eat. Lovely start to the day with breakfast across the valley at The Otter Valley ice cream Kitchen, highly recommended. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be back.

Our stay at the Swallows cottage was fantastic

Stunning cottage, beautiful countryside, totally relaxing stay.

Jayne & Rowan were so welcoming. Thank you for the flapjacks and the flowers were a lovely touch. Would highly recommend. So sad to leave. Everything you needed was provided. Our old Lab didn't stop smiling. We loved every minute.

Wonderfully peaceful and relaxing 2nd stay at Swallows Cottage.

Perfect base if you want somewhere quiet with just the sounds of the countryside. Jayne and Roman are great hosts, nothing is too much trouble and there if you need them but otherwise leave you to enjoy your break away. Would highly recommend

Lovely friendly owners.

Great location if you want a quiet place to stay but still in easy reach of the main road. Lovely big property which was very, very warm and cosy . We didn’t take our dogs but we would return with them another time . Sykes directions are perfect to follow. Thank you for a lovely week .

superb just what we like .

We really had a great time in your cottage.

The location and views are great. The cottage itself was lovely and the equipment / utensils were appropriate. Some things to consider when renting to 6 adults or more are: Additional light in the living room by left hand corner so that it is bright to play cards etc in the evening. An additional comfy chair in the living room for all people to comfortably see the tv. The L shape does not lend itself to this. Someone needs to sit on a chair or the floor. Seat covers for all the hard chairs when seated for meals. There needs to be a proviso that the drive cannot take 3 large cars. This would cause a potential risk of accident as it would jut out on to the road. A great place to stay overall with a lovely walk down to the pub and bistro as well as low tide walks around both sides of the bay to Llanddona Beach and Benllech

Another lovely stay at Swallows Cottage.

Wonderful location. Well equipped cottage. Super owners. Can't wait to go back.

Great property for a nice straightforward, uncomplicated stay with dogs; everything you could need and plenty of space.

Nice to have a small secure area whre the dogs can have their late night and early morning 'loo visit' without the worry of traffic, or other people. Swallows cottage is the door in the corner, not too clear from the picture.

Lovely cottage.

Well equipped. Peaceful and relaxing. Owners are very hospitable and helpful. Can't wait for our next holiday there.

We had a wonderful stay.

The cottage is very comfortable, peaceful, relaxing and very well equipped. There was a homemade Lemon Drizzle cake for us on our arrival which was delicious. The owners are fantastic and were exceptionally helpful. Can't wait for our next holiday there.

Lovely cottage, comfortable and well equipped.

Owners very friendly and helpful and happy for us to explore the farm freely. The location is beautiful with stunning views in all directions. Easy access to other attractions and coast within this AONB.

Lovely clean and tidy cottage with everything you could want for your stay , beautiful location and nice friendly owners.

Great cottage on a lovely working farm!

Cottage itself very comfortable, roomy, clean and with everything in it you'd need. Our hosts Jayne and Rowan were very welcoming and friendly and we had the entire run of the farm as well, dogs loved it and lots of animals for children to see. Great location as well, 10-15min from beaches and lots of other activities. Highly recommended, we will be back!

Very friendly hosts

On a working farm the family were very friendly but not intrusive the cottage had everything we could need & although it was rural it only took 5 minutes to get to A30 for Devon adventures.

Unique cottage in a great location.

Owners were brilliant.

Great Cottage, in a Great Location

Our stay could not of been better.

The Cottage contained everything anyone would need to enjoy and relaxed and comfort break surrounded in beautiful farmland and countryside. Lovely farm animals to enjoy and it is situated in an ideal location to visit Devon attractions. The hosts Jayne and Rowan could not of been more helpful.

The cottage was really well equipped for a very comfortable stay.

Extra touches from the owner to make it an even more enjoyable. Such a cozy cottage in a beautiful and peaceful location.

Lovely cottage and location.

Lovely hosts.

We had a very warm and friendly welcome from Jayne , the cottage was warm ,comfortable and homely.

Our dog was also made very welcome. The views were fantastic, it was lovely to have access to the farm with the opportunity to meet the animals. The location is good with easy access to the coast and surrounding countryside. We were very lucky with glorious weather but even in cooler weather the cottage would be lovely. We certainly hope to return. Thanks to Jayne ,Rowan and family .

Lovely house in a great location, with an owner on site who was super friendly and helpful.

It was the perfect area to explore beaches, hillside walks and take in the beauty of Devon and nearby Dorset. Only point to improve is the lighting in the bathroom was very dim and needs an upgrade but apart from this would definitely recommend.

Swallows cottage was set a beautiful setting central for being out and about , it was warm comfortable and very welcoming .

The owners Jayne and Rowan were lovely people they were very informative of the area giving advice of where the best places to visit were and good places to eat . We stayed there with our two dogs and had a fantastic time we will definitely return .

location and views excellent .

unfortunately we found the cottage to be tired in terms of decoration, except for kitchen which was modern. downstairs living area very dusty, lots of dog hair on furniture and some very odd looking stains. cobwebs everywhere (I know it’s middle of the country side) but these were old as well as new. found dirty crockery and cutlery in kitchen. bathrooms dimly lit and very basic , one toilet could only be flushed every couple of hours as it took so long to fill ?? twin bedroom ... well dark and dingy and the curtains , like to old sacks used, didn’t meet in the middle and let in light in the morning, used two towels to block the light. all in all very disappointing!!!!

We had a very enjoyable short break at Swallows Cottage.

The cottage is spacious, very well equipped and in a beautiful setting. The enclosed garden was perfect for our dogs and for eating outside and admiring the view. Good location for exploring Devon and visiting local beaches. We would certainly recommend and hope to return.

The cottage was brilliant in every way.

Comfortable, open and excellent facilities. Downstairs just large area, open plan with alcoves to keep bags and boots etc and hooks for your coats. The kitchen had everything and more, light and airy. We had our family over on one day for the day and the cottage just accommodated us all . We had our dogs with us and the cottage was great as walking from the cottage their were many wonderful walks with amazing panoramic views. Beautiful long table with plenty of seating. Pretty outside terrace with table etc. Facing south with beautiful views down across the valley. A very pretty area and cottage, we didn't want to venture far as it was so peaceful and lovely on the farm. Jayne left a great blueberry and lemon cake. Jayne and Rowan are a lovely couple and very welcoming to their wonderful farm. This was a last minute break to de stress and it most certainly did this and more. We would highly recommend the cottage and hopefully we will return.

A lovely warm and comfortable cottage with beautiful views.

Delicious chocolate brownies were waiting for us on arrival,which was a really nice welcome from the owners. We had a very enjoyable week despite the weather and appreciated the quietness, wonderful views and easy access to local attractions. A highly recommended holiday let.

We loved the peaceful surroundings, beautiful views.

The children played like the famous five and we all slept and slept from the fresh air! Beautiful walks over the 100+ acres and so close to all the main beaches and attractions which was why we booked. Thank you xx

Comfortable and well appointed accommodation.

Owners welcoming and helpful. Good base to explore this lovely part of the world.

We had a wonderful time at Swallows Cottage.

Really special place. We were so happy that we started scouring the area, thinking of moving there. Wonderful hosts and a lovely, clean cottage. Alex, Caroline and Maud.

Lovely homely accommodation - very comfortable and well situated for exploring the area.

Very friendly welcome by the owners. Perfect for a relaxing break in the country.

Beautiful setting with very friendly an helpful owners.

The cottage has everything you would want to make your stay comfortable and enjoyable . With the added benefit of a working farm for the family to enjoy an authentic devon experience cute lambs and impressive red devon cattle. All pretty close to lots of amenities shops and decent restaurants - visit Boston Tea Party for a lovely coffee and food.
