TwinNestled in a gorgeous countryside setting on the Cornwall and Devon border surrounded by beautiful rolling countryside, Swallow Barn is a delightful place for a holiday with family or friends. The old stone barn has been converted beautifully offering a thoughtfully presented holiday home, whilst still retaining its original charm with the exposed stonework and rustic beams.
The bright and inviting living and dining areas can be found on the lower level and there's a stylish and well-equipped kitchen with a Heritage range oven, a wonderful space to spend quality time together around the dining-table. With two comfortable sofas guests will feel warm and cosy snuggling up for an evening around the feature fireplace and chatting over the day just gone and the new adventures awaiting you tomorrow.
Upstairs enjoy a great night's sleep in one of the two comfortable en suite bedrooms furnished to an exacting standard and with many extra little touches that make you feel settled and able to recharge. The main bedroom has wonderful vaulted ceilings with exposed walls adding a rustic laid back charm with the luxury of an en suite shower-room.
The barn has a fun quirky flow; entering the barn from the courtyard level the entrance hall sits between the two bedrooms with stairs down to a large middle landing where you can access the enclosed patio-area. With another set of stairs down to the lower living area, the design means that the barn never feels enclosed and floods with light thanks to the clever conversion and positioning of doors and windows throughout the barn.
The outside seating-area at the back of the barn is accessed via the glazed back door on the middle landing and offers an enclosed patio ideal for a spot of al fresco dining and enjoy a dip in the hot tub whilst watching the sunsets and sunrises or simply listening to birds in song. A barbecue will be provided in the warmer weeks. Outside of these times if a barbecue beckons, simply ask the friendly owner who will be happy to provide you with one. This is a truly magical setting for a long holiday or short break, so if you are looking for a bit of peace and tranquility this is certainly the place you can find it.
