Beautiful accomodation
We stayed for 6 nights at Swallows Barn and could not fault any aspect of it. Gerrit and Judy were very helpful and friendly hosts, yet despite living next to the barn we were never really aware of their presence. The barn is beautifully appointed and has everything you could need for the stay. The location is wonderfully quiet and the surrounds are picture perfect. It’s also a very good location to access anywhere in Cornwall and south Devon. Can’t recommend this place highly enough and we would love to come back and stay again in the future.
