“We had a fantastic time at Swallows Barn, my husband and his mum, and our 5 year old daughter and dog.”
The barn is beautiful, comfortable and well-equipped. The location is great, it really feels remote- next door to a farm with lambs (great in Feb when we visited!) yet about 1/2 mile away are 2 small retail parks on the edge of town with Costa, Greggs, Lidl, Aldi, Sainsbury’s, Pets at Home, so everything we needed was easy to access. We spent our mornings on Broadsands beach with the dog and the afternoons exploring Brixham, Cockington Country Park, and Dartmouth. The barn was spacious and warm, so perfect for drying out our outdoors clothes! We’ve booked with Sykes numerous times before and we’ve never been disappointed. We’d like to return with a larger group and book Swift barn as well, all rooms are en-suite, the 2 upstairs rooms are huge, the downstairs bedroom is smaller with 2 single beds but more than enough room. The hosts were welcoming but not intrusive. Delicious lemon drizzle cake! Wished we had tried crabbing at Stoke Gabriel, so that’s one for next time.
