Swallows Cottage has been converted from an ancient threshing barn which faces away from the main house and Whitcombe Cottage. Your sitting room is cosy and welcoming with a wood burning stove, dining area and French windows to throw open to the sunny patio on a fine day. The kitchen is well equipped for preparing the fine fresh ingredients available locally. Head up the stairs to the two comfortable bedrooms which share a family bathroom. Outside you have outdoor furniture and a barbecue on the patio and, across a quiet farm track, a small lawn with fine views. Swallows Cottage is a great base for traditional farm tranquillity and exploring the area. This property can be booked with Whitcombe Cottage (976051) and Swallows Cottage (976052), all around the same courtyard and together they sleep a total 15 people.
