About this property

South Brent 2 miles. Swallow Cottage is a charming retreat nestled in the peaceful Devon countryside, offering a restful base for couples or couples travelling with a young child. With thoughtful family-friendly features and a well-equipped interior, this cottage invites guests to unwind and explore the nearby beauty of Dartmoor National Park. Tucked away in the peaceful hamlet of Bullhornstone, this beautifully renovated 18th-century barn welcomes you with a sense of quiet charm and timeless character. After parking with ease on the off-road area, take a moment to admire the stone exterior and tranquil surroundings, where the soft rustle of trees and birdsong set the tone for a restful stay.

Step through the front door and walk across the tiled floor into the kitchen/diner, a well-appointed space designed for relaxed self-catering. Everything you need is to hand for preparing a hearty breakfast or evening meal, and the dining table invites you to linger over morning coffee or plan the day’s adventures. Beyond, the sitting room offers a restful spot to unwind. A two-seater sofa and armchair create a welcoming space to flick on the TV or dip into the selection of books and games. Climb the carpeted staircase to the first floor, where the barn’s heritage truly shines. The king-size bedroom is a striking space, with a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams and Velux windows that bathe the room in natural light.

A window seat beneath a stained-glass feature offers a peaceful nook to pause with a book or simply enjoy the view. The en-suite bathroom is equally impressive, with a spacious walk-in shower fitted with a rainfall head, a bath for long soaks, and a heated towel rail for added comfort. A separate cloakroom downstairs adds convenience. Families travelling with a baby will appreciate the thoughtful inclusion of a travel cot, highchair and stairgate, making Swallow Cottage a welcoming choice for couples or those with a little one. Outside, the surrounding countryside invites exploration, with a traditional pub and a well-stocked shop just a short drive away.

Whether you’re returning from a walk across Dartmoor or a day out along the coast, Swallow Cottage offers a restful base to return to.
