On arriving we had a warm welcome from Graham the owner who showed us around Swallows. The cottage was spotlessly clean warm and bright with all the comforts of home. We have 2 dogs and the back garden was secure they could go out safely. There are so many places to visit and the coastal routes make for brilliant dog walks. The birds in the garden feeding was a great pastime sitting watching them. Definitely worth a visit and we will definitely return
