About this property
Watchet 1.4 miles. Tucked away in the lovely hamlet of Doniford in Somerset, is this delightful two-bedroom bungalow, The Swallows. Converted from stables in the 1970’s and set within the grounds of the owner’s farmhouse, The Swallows enjoys a superb location at the foot on the Quantock Hills with views out towards the Brendon Hills, making it an ideal dwelling for couples or a family of five seeking a peaceful retreat. Park-up and unload your bags, before making your way through the attractive archway and taking in the fabulous surrounding grounds, perfect for the little ones to play on or family picnics. Be welcomed into the open-plan living space, where you can rustle up flavourful meals in the kitchen with a backdrop of exceptional country views, ready to enjoy at the dining table over a bottle of wine. Take advantage of warmer days and dine alfresco out in your very own private seating area, where you can savour the days rays as you plan the days ahead. After dinner, kick-back and relax on the plush sofa as you select a much-loved film from the TV with Freeview and DVD player. Wash away the day with a blissful soak in the bath or a refreshing shower, before choosing from two well-presented bedrooms to catch your rest in, a twin and a family room with king-size and single, ideal for families sharing.

Watchet is a charming harbour town in Somerset with a long nautical heritage. Visitors can browse the many little shops and admire the yachts moored in the marina. The West Somerset Railway, a twenty-mile-long preserved steam railway, runs through Watchet and continues to the coastal town of Minehead, some nine miles distant, attracting railway enthusiasts from all over. Watchet is a great starting point for coastal walks, while the Quantock Hills climb to 1,000 feet above sea level to the east, and the Brendon Hills and Exmoor are easily accessible to the west. Learn about the many charming coastal and inland communities like Porlock, which is perched on a steep hilltop and features winding streets, Dunster, which has a dramatic castle perched above the historic village, and Minehead, which is home to a sandy beach, golf course, and other classic seaside attractions. Those looking for rural beauty, stunning coastline, and superb hiking will find this an ideal vacation spot.
