Beautiful, spacious, quiet but accessible location and wonderful views.
Mr Bradley September 2023
We loved this cottage, very comfortable, well equipped, friendly and helpful hosts. It’s a great location for exploring South Hams and Dartmoor, you can walk for the cottage onto the Two Moors Way. You do have to drive down a single track road to get to it but that’s what you get if you want a farm cottage in Devon, there are passing places and the locals are very good at reversing. We will probably go back next year and would definitely recommend it.

Mr Weyer July 2023
Beautiful cottage with a great view from the terrace to the hills of Dartmoore. Very friendly owners who were happy to help and give advice. It was a wonderful stay.
Dr Cook June 2023
This is one of the best cottages I have stayed in. Great modern facilities, including a lovely relaxing bath after a days walking and a large shower. Kitchen well appointed. Views fantastic and right on the edge of Dartmoor so I could literally walk straight on to the Moor from the cottage. But only 5 mins drive from South Brent with good shops for food etc. Lovely hosts. Just a great place to get away from it all. Second time staying here. Wont be the last

It sounds like the perfect getaway! What an absolute dream, walking the moors and then relaxing at the barn with those amazing views. We do hope it won't be too long before your next visit. Donna, Customer Support

Swallow Cottage is spotlessly clean with stunning views of Dartmoor.The property itself is beautifully furnished and maintained. Penny and Nick are very good hosts.If it is a relaxing rural retreat you want this place fits the bill!
Mrs Greig March 2023
Swallow Cottage is a lovely cosy and warm cottage, with an interesting layout, and luxurious and comfortable bed. Nick and Penny were lovely hosts, they made us feel very welcome and helped with information about the area. The location is quiet and relaxing, with walks on the doorstep, but within easy reach of the local village South Brent which had all the amenities we needed. Highly recommend it.

Clean & comfortable cottage with lovely views. Good location for visiting local attractions or walking. Very narrow lanes leading to cottage with few passing places, reversing skills needed !!!

Mr Smart August 2022
We stayed at the cottage next door called Dairy Cottage, but we hired this one as well for our friends to stay whilst they were on holiday with us. As per Dairy Cottage (see separate review), the cottage was high spec in lovely surroundings. Although the layout is different to Dairy Cottage, everything was in immaculate condition. Would definitely recommend.

Mr Harrowing June 2022
Excellent cottage with very good facilities and wonderful views. Also ideally located for peace and quiet and access to Dartmoor and the coast. South Brent shops more than adequate for food etc.
The owners are lovely people and made our stay very good, thank you!

We had a fabulous stay in the cottage. It was very comfortable and spotlessly clean. Great views and peaceful surroundings. Nick and Penny are lovely hosts and not forgetting Merlin of course. We would have no hesitation in recommending or returning to this property. Thank you.
Mr Booker August 2021
Excellent secluded location but within easy access of A38, nearby towns and the national park. Sheep and swallows make it a very relaxing place to sit outside with a drink and a book. Very spacious cottage with everything you'd need. Penny and Nick are very friendly and helpful hosts. We'll be back :)
Mr Davies August 2021
Nick and Penny are wonderful hosts and give great recommendations.

Penny and Nick were the most wonderful hosts, friendly and welcoming but never intruding . Perfect location away from the hoards of people and yet close enough to walk to habitation and delightful small town of South Brent. 10 out of 10!

Ms Ostermann December 2019
Had a wonderful short break. Warm welcome from hosts and the cottage was sparkling clean and cosy.
Blissfully quiet and a good spot to see the stars on a clear night. We loved being able to walk straight onto the moor.
Looking forward to another stay very soon.
