Welcome to the gorgeous Swallow's Nest.
As well as a conventional kitchen, there's an alfresco, Mediterranean-inspired kitchen for cooking in nature.
The open plan kitchen sits just behind the living space.
The chic shower room is just the spot for freshening up after a day of adventures.
The warming wood-burner ensures year-round cosiness and adds a lovely atmosphere to out-of-season breaks.
This historic building has an abundance of charm and character.
The bedroom with king-sized bed is a welcoming space for a restorative break.
Sit back and relax in the roll-top bath - with a glass of wine and book in hand.
Perfectly equipped for your romantic getaway.
A bespoke retreat for two.
Looking down from the mezzanine level to the open plan living space and out into the courtyard.
Your private courtyard is such a lovely place to relax and unwind.
Not only is there a Kamado (barbecue and ceramic smoker) but there's a wood-fired pizza oven too!
From the courtyard your own gate leads to the meadow that borders the river - you are welcome to explore.
What an amazing location! Hatherland Mill Farm is shown here towards the middle of the shot - Swallow's Nest's courtyard backs onto the meadow in the foreground.
Your four-legged friend is welcome to join you on your adventure.

The friendly owners are happy to advise where the best riverside spots are for the chance to see an otter or a kingfisher.
The owners' rare breed cattle are nearby - just look at the gorgeous calf!
This traditional smallholding has earned conservation awards from Natural England and offers a wonderful opportunity to feel part of a sustainable and environmentally friendly way of living.
Wow! The wonderful setting of Hatherland Mill Farm - Swallow's Nest is the grey roof in front of the tree, near the middle of the farmstead.
The Exmoor National Park is well worth a visit. This is taken from Hadden Hill overlooking Wimbleball Lake.
Exmoor is a wonderful mixture of open moorland, deep valleys and tumbling rivers. Dulverton and Withypool are two lovely places with riverside walks and picnic spots.
You can be at the east Devon Jurassic coast in just under an hour. This is Sidmouth.

We booked for a few days once the UK Gov had given the green light for overnight stays, and it was exactly what we needed after a tough few months of working long hours at home, recovering from illness and having to deal with our wedding being cancelled. The property is beautifully furnished, and so much care has been given to the all of the finer details, including a beautiful outdoor dining area overlooking the Devon countryside and the farm animals. Our hosts were so welcoming and friendly, and we were able to explore their farmland and meet all of their beautiful animals - I’ve genuinely never met such pretty cows! It was so nice to stay self-catering, and find they’d left us the little things such as dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, hand gel, and hand wash, which is so frequently missing in properties. The cream tea and jug of milk was my favourite surprise though! We loved it, and would love to return again in the future....

What an absolutely fabulous bolt-hole for 2 on a fascinating farm in a beautiful valley. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome and we were captivated by the brilliant design of the barn conversion. It was just a wonderful escape from the busyness of life in a relaxing, comfortable, well equipped cottage. Loved swimming in the river, walking round the farm, having a tour of the brewery, cooking al fresco and having a bath in the bedroom. Thank you to our hosts so much for sharing this wonderful corner of the world - your attitude to life, business and the environment is truly inspirational! (Can't tell you if the TV worked on not - we never switched it on!)...

We had a lovely stay at Swallows Cottage. It was cosy and clean and we both said how nice it was to return to after a day of exploring. Lots of great finishing touches and the hosts are lovely and friendly.

A beautiful location even the wet weather couldn’t spoil! A lovely relaxing break with a very welcome gorgeous bath. The owners have us a good intro on arrival on what to expect and we loved meeting Drake and Lily their dogs! Thank you
