The West Country / Devon region

Within 25 minutes by car, you are in the very heart of Dartmoor National Park with its wild ponies, rugged scenery and panoramic views. For those who are interested in birds and wildlife, Slapton Ley is a mere 20 minutes by car. Salcombe, Totnes and Modbury, all within 12 miles are just some of the places to visit, whilst Dartmouth is a little further, and a must for all visitors to enjoy.

Furtherafield you can visit Buckfast Abbey, one of the most interesting places to visit locally, as is the Buckfastleigh steam railway. Plymouth and the waterfront region (30 minutes) is a fascinating mixture of bustling city, with a shopping mall to equal some of the best. Visit the Hoe with its Maritime history, including the harbour steps in the Barbican from where the Pilgrim Fathers departed, when embarking on their journey to the Americas in the Mayflower. Other activities include the Plymouth ski centre and Exeter racecourse. With a reputation for a sunny climate, stunning scenery and the traditional Devon cream tea, South Devon has much to offer.

The Kingsbridge / South Hams area

Within a 10 minute walk you will find Loddiswell village which has a post office, general store,14th Century church and public house. The Loddiswell Inn does excellent bar meals, very reasonably priced but for those who prefer to eat at home, a take away service is provided. There is also a limited bus service to our town of Kingsbridge with its quaint shops, quay and ferry to Salcombe.

Several glorious blue flag beaches are all within easy reach. Bantham and Bigbury are particularly popular with surfers. Numerous opportunities for Sailing, Golf and Horseriding are available to those interested in sporting activities. For ramblers in particular, the area offers excellent opportunties for enjoying our spectacular coastal walks as well as those in the countryside.Tennis and fishing are all easily accessible. There are many beautiful landscapes in the area, which encourages painters and artists of all standards, to visit and view the several galleries that Kingsbridge has to offer. When it comes to food, the South Hams has many excellent restaurants including seafood, asian, french and chinese.

“Great accommodation in a truly stunning setting” We spent a week at Swallows Rest in October and found it the perfect getaway from our busy lives. Upon arrival we were blown away by the scenery and the cottage has been really well cared for. Our... more

“Romantic peaceful retreat” This beautiful property has been tastefully decorated throughout, but with all modern appliances and amenities. The owners are very welcoming but do not infringe upon your privacy. It's rural position guarantees you a relaxing peaceful holiday, but with access to all of South Devons tourist attractions..

“IDYLLIC AND WELCOMING COTTAGE” Having just spent a week in this idyllic cottage, we were amazed to read such a negative review from a recent holidaymaker about Swallows Rest. We have never felt the need to leave a review before, but feel we must comment on the poor review as it gives very unfair feedback for the owner. On our arrival we were greeted by Jayne and Graham Lago who showed us around the cottage. The complimentary cream tea was the best we tasted during our two weeks stay in Devon. Jayne and Graham had also switched on the flame effect on the modern convector fire (certainly not a fan heater) to make it look more homely for us as it was a cold and wet day. We never ever felt cold in the cottage. As with most holiday cottages (and we have stopped in many), there was no tumble dryer, but there was a clothes line. Unfortunately the weather was not good enough to hang washing out, but this dried easily on the clothes airer provided. As most correspondence is dealt with these days via emails (modern technology) we had no qualms booking this way. We had immediate response from any queries we raised. In the visitors book it said if you wanted to take advantage of their complimentary walking boots and clothes drying facility you only had to ask. It was clearly mentioned on the booking site that it was attached to the owners home and until the last day when we returned the key we didn't encounter the owners again, but they were on hand if we had needed anything. One could sit out on the patio, or leave and return without being in view of their house. We found the cottage of exceptionally high quality, definately not overpriced. We enjoyed our stay there and would not hesitate to return to Swallows Rest. Many thanks Jayne and Graham for a lovely holiday
