    A well equiped cottage in a superb location

  • David Trestrail

    Lonely holiday cottage, one of several in a rural setting on a quiet country lane. From the rear garden of Swallows Barn you can enjoy beautiful sunsets and watch plenty of wild life. The cottage is ideally situated mid way between the North and South Coast so masses of choice for tourist attractions, and popular costal towns. The cottage is well presented , and very clean. Owners are very welcoming. Would definitely recommend and will be retuning .
