Accessible En-suite Whole Cottage Accommodation

If you’re looking for a cozy and comfortable place to stay during your self-catering holiday, Swallow Barn should be your top pick.

You’ll receive a warm welcome upon arrival, complete with delectable homemade cake or scones, a well-stocked beverage tray, and a bottle of locally sourced apple juice, orange juice, and milk. These thoughtful touches are provided to help you settle in and feel right at home. The perfect start to your holiday.

Excellent cake and coffee, as it was Easter, the crème egg bombs were amazing, we were trying to deconstruct the recipe! Lovely baking. Very friendly attentive and accommodating, will go back next time to sample lunch (also looked appetising !)

Great location. Fabulous breakfast. Comfortable room. We had a very warm welcome and had everything we needed for a wonderful short break. The view from the room was perfect. The pub next door was a huge bonus!
