Welcome to Swallow Barn

There are some places that just invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and truly unwind—and Swallow Barn is one of them. Tucked away in the peaceful Devonshire countryside, yet just a stone’s throw from the dramatic Cornish coastline, our cottage offers the best of both worlds: countryside calm and coastal adventure.

Whether you arrive on a golden summer afternoon or a crisp winter morning, Swallow Barn is ready to welcome you. In the warmer months, the enclosed garden and sun-drenched patio provide the perfect spot for lazy breakfasts, barbecues, or simply soaking up the birdsong with a good book in hand. As the seasons turn, the cottage transforms into a snug retreat, with its wood burner flickering in the hearth—a cosy haven where you can curl up with loved ones and feel the outside world melt away.

The surrounding area is a picture waiting to be painted. Rolling fields, wildflower lanes, and endless skies lead you gently down towards the Cornish coast, where rugged cliffs and sandy coves await discovery. Whether it’s a windswept walk with your four-legged friend or a seaside picnic with a loved one, every moment here feels like a step into something special.

At Swallow Barn, we’ve created a space where dogs are welcome, babes in arms are embraced, and everyone can find their own rhythm of rest. It’s not just a cottage—it’s a chance to press pause, reconnect with nature, and make memories in one of the most beautiful corners of the UK.
