In a beautiful tranquil location within 300 acres of a working sheep farm, this barn is ideal for getting away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and providing a peaceful base to relax, unwind and commune with nature. Visitors are welcome to explore the inspiring walks directly from the grounds. Further walks and other outdoor pursuits including riding and fishing can be enjoyed within the splendour of the Exmoor National Park, just 2 miles away. The facilities of the market town of South Molton, known as the Gateway to Exmoor, are 4 miles away and include the historic pannier market, antique shops, tea rooms, pubs and restaurants as well as a local supermarket. There are some excellent beaches within 22 miles.

Enter the barn into a hallway and to your left is the kitchen which provides all you need to prepare delicious meals. Dine at the farmhouse-style table, in the cosy lounge area or on the large terrace. A few steps lead from the kitchen up to the lounge/diner area, which has high apex ceiling and lovely windows for enjoying the views, and comfortable seating surrounds the wood burner and Smart TV. Completing the ground floor is the bathroom. Heading upstairs is a character king-size bedroom and a twin bedroom, both with grassy, rural views. Both bedrooms benefit from a pretty en-suite shower room each too.

Heading outside the stunning views will captivate you. Enclosed and private, dine on the terrace and enjoy your tranquil surroundings whilst the children play on the terrace. There is also direct access to enjoy the field beyond which is shared with the next door holiday cottage and is occasionally used by the owners’ sheep.

Swallow's Barn is a lovely holiday cottage. Spotlessly clean, well appointed, in an idyllic location, convenient for exploring North Devon. Just outside the town of South Molton, which is, in itself, a friendly place with a lovely Pannier Market. Kate the owner was friendly and we enjoyed having a coffee and a chat. We were a party of four and we aRead morell agreed we would definitely go back there again and have no hesitation in recommending this holiday cottage. Hide

A beautiful cottage in a wonderfully tranquil location surrounded by hills and sheep. This is the real beauty of North Devon. The cottage is spotless and very well equipped. We had everything we needed and felt very cosy. Kate the owner is on hand if you need her. We hope to go back again one day as it was such a fantastic holiday.
