The Swallows Nest Reviews

Alex
The cottage was spotless and lovely, honestly exceeded our hopes. The kids loved every minuteand we felt right at home. Couldn't ask for better stay!
Charlotte
We had a lovely stay! The hosts were really friendly and helpful without being intrusive, which we appreciated. They even left us a sweet cream tea hamper and some fresh eggs, which was a lovely touch. The place was spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for a comfy break. The privacy was perfect, with stunning views over the countryside. Plus, being on the border of Devon and Cornwall made it easy to explore both areas. All in all, we'd definitely recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful getaway. We'd love to come back!
Emma
We had a great stay! The place was just as described - modern, spotlessand really spacious, which made it perfect for a relaxing break. The host was super helpful, especially when we had to extend our stay because of Storm Ciarn. We'd definitely come back. Can't wait to visit in the sunnier months when we can make the most of the garden and spot more local wildlife. Would highly recommend!
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay at The Swallows Nest, despite a few hiccups. The heating wasn't working initiallyand the log burner was broken from a previous guest, but the owner was super helpful-she quickly brought us extra heaters. Luckily, the heating was fixed by our third day while we were out exploring, so it didn't spoil our trip. The house was spotless and well-equipped, perfect for our group of six-we even managed a full roast dinner! The beds were comfyand the towels and bedding were of good quality. The cream tea hamper was a lovely surprise, absolutely deliciousand the hot tub was a real treat. All in all, a lovely stayand we'd definitely recommend it to others!
Charlotte
