Damp and kitchen wall needs sorting water pouring down side when wind and rain.l know conditions weren't that great but some things still need sorting footpath leading to front door very dangerous slippery & slabs cracked and loose.

What a super week we've just had in this beautiful stone barn conversion.Our start of the year break required three things - to be near the coast - tick. To have wifi - tick. To have a log burner - tick. What we hoped for but couldn't assume to find was a proper cook's kitchen, Netflix, a thick duvet and mattress you didn't want leave, powerful shower and stylish bath, a library of books and a great range of games. On every count, tick, tick, tick. Quality essentials in the fridge kicked the week off and the car was under cover too. Swallow Lodge was perfect to hunker down in whilst the weather threw pretty much everything a January can muster at us. Thank you Charlotte.

We absolutely LOVED our stay. The cottage was perfect with a cosy log burner and lovely open plan kitchen as sitting room. The location was great, we went to lots of different beaches to walk the dog and even went for a few sea swims! We would highly recommend staying here and will definitely be back!
