This property (with easy walking access) provides perfect accommodation for a family or two couples enjoying a break. It is close to Dove House but totally private from it, and is a single storey conversion with wooden floors and rugs throughout. It has one double bedroom (5 ft bed) with en-suite bathroom/wc., and one twin room (zip and link beds) with en-suite shower/wc. The central beamed living area with wood-burning stove is wonderfully cosy in winter with French doors onto a large secure garden with patio area, and has a fully equipped kitchen (ceramic hob, electric oven, dishwasher, washer/drier, fridge/freezer, microwave, TV/video, DVD player and radio/cassette/cd player and pay as you go phone. Non-smokers only please. Swallows has proved itself extremely popular for adult groups. It works equally well for a couple alone, or two couples. It is also very successful for people with elderly parents with its easy access,the two bathrooms and its fully adjustable heating system. Many people return as there is plenty to do locally at all times of the year. NB: Swallows does not have access to Dove House swimming pool. |
