About this property
... 2 miles from Honiton and 200 yards (private drive) off a lane, two attached cottages close to the charming owners’ 17th cent. farmhouse. They are in a brilliant, peaceful position with fine views, on the side of beech-tree-crowned Dumpdon Hill (Iron Age fort, good walks, Nat. Trust), above the Otter Valley. You are welcome to help when possible on the environmentally-friendly, well managed, clean 135 acre working farm (horses, chickens, Devon cattle, Gotland sheep). Heating and hot water are piped to the cottages and farmhouse from solar panels and a log boiler (out of sight) which is fed with coppiced wood from sustainably managed woodland. Spring water. Arrival after 4pm.
Swallows Cottage has been excellently converted from an old threshing barn into a high quality and welcoming cottage facing privately away from the owners’ house and G77. Patio (table/chairs) and own small, lawned garden (across quiet farm track) with lovely countryside views. Inside, open-plan living/dining room with fuel-efficient woodburner, TV/DVD/video and French windows to patio; well-equipped fitted kitchen (dishwasher, microwave, fridge-freezer); utility area (washer-drier); loo. Upstairs (stairgates), two bedrooms – a large double (5’ bed), and a twin; bathroom (suite, shower over bath).

"Thank you so much for letting us book this wonderful cottage for a whole 5 months! We needed somewhere to call home on our return from Australia and Swallows cottage was perfect. We loved the farm and were made warmly welcome by the Barlows, who we will keep in touch with. We have only moved up the road (to somewhere more permanent) so hope to pop back when the lambs arrive! The cottage is lovely and very comfortable, with a glorious view of unspoilt East Devon countryside to enjoy whilst eating breakfast ... very highly recommended ... if we didn't now live here we'd stay again in a flash."
