Property code: OC-95236

Ideally located, this charming barn conversion offers the best of both coast and countryside. It is situated on the Devon/Cornwall border, with Dartmoor National Park to the east and Cornwall’s Atlantic coastline to the west. The area immediately surrounding the property boasts not only many picturesque villages to explore but also a range of attractions, including the beautiful Roadford Reservoir, just 6.5 miles away. The property's proximity to the stunning Cornish coast is a significant draw for visitors. Whether you're in the mood for lazy days on Bude’s sandy beaches, exploring the enchanting fishing village of Boscastle, or walking in the legendary footsteps of King Arthur in the atmospheric town of Tintagel, all these attractions are within 22 miles.

With a split-level flow, you'll enter from the courtyard level into the entrance hall which sits between the two bedrooms. Stairs lead down to a large middle landing where you can access the enclosed patio area. Another set of stairs leads down to the lower living area, ensuring the barn never feels enclosed. The clever conversion and positioning of doors and windows flood the barn with natural light throughout. The bright and inviting living and dining areas are on the lower level, featuring a stylish and well-equipped kitchen with everything you'll need for your holiday. It's a wonderful space to gather around the dining table and spend quality time together. With two comfortable sofas, guests will feel warm and cozy as they snuggle up for an evening around the feature fireplace, chatting about the day's adventures and the new ones awaiting the next day. Retiring upstairs, enjoy a great night's sleep in one of the two comfortable ensuite bedrooms, furnished to an exacting standard with many extra touches that make you feel settled and recharged. The main bedroom boasts vaulted ceilings and exposed walls, adding rustic charm along with the benefit of an en suite shower room.

Accessed via the door on the middle landing, head out to the enclosed garden terrace. This enclosed patio is perfect for al fresco dining and you'll have your own hot tub where you can relax while watching the sunsets and sunrises or simply listening to the birdsong. This is a truly magical setting for a long holiday or a short break, offering a serene and tranquil retreat. If you're seeking peace and quiet, this is the perfect place to find it.

We felt very cosy and warmly at this cottage. We got everything we need . We were welcomed with tea, coffee and cookies and flapjacks. The hot tub worked perfectly- not too hot not too cold. We enjoyed our stay.

The cottage was lovely and great that both rooms have ensuite bathrooms. It was a bit daunting when faced with an aga but full instructions provided along with an electric hob, so all good. A hot tub is always good to have on holiday, which we enjoyed. The outdoor table tennis table was a big hit.

We enjoyed our stay at Swallows the owners were very helpful on-site and were quick to respond when we needed something. The dog loved her provided barrel bed. There are shops and petrol stations near by. The hot tub, playing golf and table tennis were the kids highlights. We would recommend for a day out going to Hidden Valley which is only a 15 mRead moreinute journey from the property. Hide
