Nestled amidst the rolling countryside of West Devon, just outside the picturesque village of Exbourne, Swallows Nest is an exceptional contemporary retreat where luxury and thoughtful design combine to create an unforgettable escape. Surrounded by peaceful rural landscapes, yet perfectly positioned between the spectacular coastlines of north and south Devon, you'll have the very best of the county within easy reach. Whether you're exploring the rugged beauty of nearby Dartmoor National Park, discovering charming market towns, or heading to the golden beaches of the north coast, this is a wonderful base from which to experience Devon's diverse landscapes.

No detail has been overlooked in transforming this beautiful semi-detached cottage into a truly remarkable holiday home. Every room has been individually designed to delight, effortlessly blending contemporary style with bespoke craftsmanship and luxurious comfort.

The light-filled sitting-room is an inviting space to unwind, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing the countryside beyond and flooding the room with natural light. Sink into the sumptuous furnishings beside the crackling wood-burner, enjoy your favourite films on the Smart TV, or set the soundtrack to your holiday through the Bluetooth Sonos speaker while you relax after a day of adventure.

The kitchen has elegant curved walls that echo's the characterful exterior of the property, while the well-equipped kitchen has everything you'll need to prepare anything from leisurely breakfasts to memorable holiday feasts. Gather around the striking dining-table to linger over good food and plan the adventures that await.

Upstairs, two beautifully appointed en suite bedrooms offer boutique hotel luxury. The principal bedroom is a true sanctuary, featuring a sumptuous king-size bed dressed in luxurious linens and an exquisite artisan copper bath that takes centre stage-perfect for an indulgent soak after a day spent exploring. The second bedroom is every bit as inviting, offering a versatile super-king size bed that can also be arranged as twin beds on request, alongside a stylish en suite with a luxurious rainfall shower.

Outside, the south-facing garden is a delightful extension of the living space. Whether enjoying a leisurely morning coffee, dining alfresco as the sun sets, or simply relaxing with a good book surrounded by birdsong, this peaceful haven provides the perfect finishing touch to an exceptional countryside escape.

Exbourne is a pretty Devon village situated on the old holiday route to Bude and north Devon. Swallows Nest is perfectly placed here and within walking distance of the local pub The Red Lion. A short drive away The Duke of York at Iddesleigh serves locally-sourced home-cooked food and has been voted one of the top five country pubs in the UK by Countryfile magazine. With countryside walks on your doorstep, the Tarka Trail is close by, you may never want to explore further! If you do decide to travel, the traditional market town of Okehampton is a short car journey away, perfect for stocking up on holiday essentials and the gateway to Dartmoor National Park.

Dartmoor is home to Castle Drogo, a fabulous 20th Century castle and gardens designed by Sir Edward Lutyens and overlooking the Teign Gorge. Outdoor enthusiasts will love the miles of wilderness and stunning views waiting to be explored either on foot or bike. The north and south coasts of Devon are equidistant away, with the gorgeous beaches of Widemouth Bay, Braunton and Woolacombe being a mecca for north coast surfers and the gentler south coast shores of Exmouth, Teignmouth and Shaldon perfect for family beach days.

With good transport links, there is so much to see and do in this part of the world. However you plan to spend your days, a holiday at Swallows Nest will be just the tonic for a restful getaway and a perfect retreat after a day exploring this beautiful part of Devon.
