This conversion is a really high specification and nothing was too much trouble for the hosts. Beautifully done in every room and small touches added to the experience. Fantastic lemon drizzle cake on arrival made by Laurie. A few miles max to all the places you want to visit. Brixham 10 mins away. Would not hesitate to book again. Idyllic and restful

This a lovely recently renovated barn which is comfortable and stylish.. The owners are helpful and friendly and make a good lemon drizzle cake! This location is ideal for trips to Paignton, Dartmouth and Brixham ; there is so much to do in the area, and many good restaurants. Despite some dodgy weather we had a great time!

Swallows Barn has been beautifully converted by the owners to provide luxury accommodation.. We have probably rented 20+ properties in the West Country over the past 10-15 years, and this is the best we have stayed in. All of the bedrooms are a fantastic size with top of the range en-suite bathrooms to accompany them. The kitchen is well equipped with everything you would need for your holiday. There is ample parking and the fully enclosed walled garden is pet friendly and a lovely place for children to play and for the adults to sit and enjoy an evening drink. The barn is ideally located for those wishing to visit Paignton, Torquay, Brixham & Dartmouth. The nearby beach of Broadsands (2.5miles) is safe for children and well worth a visit.

The accommodation was by far the best we have ever stayed in and we always use Sykes Cottages year on year.. The owners could not have been moor welcoming. We would recommend this property and use it again.

Miss Hobbs

What a lovely barn in Brixham, we had a lovely couple of days stay at swallows barn, which was immaculate, homely and near to everything.. The owners were lovely and welcoming and always to hand if needed anything. Peaceful and relaxing and we will definitely be staying here again in the future. 10 out of 10

Mrs Etherington

Great barn conversion beautiful and spacious.. In a lovely courtyard setting. We really enjoyed the space and comfort of the facilities - very well kitted out. The area is lovely too - we don’t like the busy Torbay area but greatly enjoyed amazing country walks with the dog around the Greenway House area (the house and gardens are well worth a visit) and also popping over to Dartmouth and Dittisham on the ferry. Highly recommend Swallows Barn!

Everything about the accommodation was fantastic.. The lemon drizzle cake on arrival was a lovely touch, thank you. First class - cannot praise it highly enough. Absolutely faultless. A real find. Thank you Laurie and Russell it was great to meet you We will be back - and telling all our friends what a great place to stay. Thank you so much!

Mrs Hopkins

Amazing property in every way.. Very welcoming host.

Mr Cowley

"Swallows" is the product of a wonderful barn conversion retaining its farmyard exterior but with a very modern and comfortable and beautifully furnished interior.. It lacks nothing and even when the weather is bad - as it was for us on 3 days - it was great just enjoying a "sofa" day in "Swallows".

Swallows Barn was excellent.. The owners could not have made us feel more welcome. The accommodation was perfect. It was clean and had everything we needed, it really was a home away from home. We will definitely recommend Swallows Barn to all our friends and family. Best holiday cottage we have stayed in.

My two weeks at swallows barn were absolutely spectacular! Laurie and Roz and Russ is mama Janet could not have been more welcoming and kind. The barn is absolutely stunning. Every imaginable detail has been considerate and it was beautifully appointed, very spacious, and the environment in which it is it it is absolutely gorgeous. I received lots of wonderful ideas for places to visit while I was there and my small beagle Maizie and I enjoyed every moment of our time in Waddeton. I highly recommend swallows barn to anyone looking to explore this part of Devon. I can’t wait to return!

Mr Tyrrell

We had a lovely time staying at the swallows barn.. It was a real home from home with everything we needed to make our holiday that bit more special. There was plenty of room so that 4 adults, 1 baby and 2 dogs didn’t get under each other’s feet! It was an ideal place to explore all the surrounding areas like Paignton, Brixham, Torquay, Stoke Gabriel and many more. The owners Russ and Laurie where very nice too and if you wanted anything you could just ask and it was no trouble for them to sort it. Well done

Mrs Payne

The converted barn we stayed in for the week was amazing.. It was exactly as promised, but with added extras that showed the owners went the extra mile to make everybody, including the dog, welcome. The barn was situated in a location that made it easy to get to the many places to visit whilst in Devon. My family would recommend Swallows Barn, without any hesitation, to any family wanting a lovely place to stay in the countryside.

Mr North

Swallows barn is a superb holiday home which has been meticulously restored to standards way beyond our expectations.. The owners Russ and Laurie have created a beautiful home with immaculately presented rooms and everything you could ever wish for with a large garden which is also maintained to the highest levels. The location is also perfect, only a short drive from Brixham, Paignton, Dartmouth and Totnes. This is certainly the best home we have stayed in in the West Country and we have been to quite a few, we will be back for sure and i strongly suggest if your looking for a rental in this area this is the best by far, you won’t be disappointed.
