The thoughtful, dog- friendly layout was ideal as a coastal retreat. We had a welcome pact of delightful eggs, milk and cake.I loved the garden and there was also a strong wifi signal. I also enjoyed the local recommendations.

We stayed for 2 weeks at the Swallows and enjoyed every aspect of our stay.Nik was a perfect host, everything you can possibly need for an enjoyable stay. Good bed linen and towels, fresh flowers and a home made cake every week. The location was within an easy walk to Instow beach. Very dog friendly.Loads of good places to eat and plenty of supermarkets in the area. We will definitely return.
