Swallow’s Rest is a stylish and comfortable barn conversion, set in the friendly owner’s private grounds and located on the edge of the village of South Brent on the southern edge of Dartmoor National Park bordering the popular holiday region of South Hams.

Finished to a high specification, there is an open plan living space on the ground floor with a sumptuous comfortable bedroom on the first floor with fine views and a shower room.  To the side of the barn just a few steps from the front door (not directly attached) there is a small pretty courtyard area, furnished with a bistro table and chairs providing a fabulous spot for a morning coffee.

The heart of the village of South Brent, is just a 10-minute walk from the Swallow’s Rest and offers plenty of amenities including a pub, café bar, fish and chip shop, coop, deli and a wonderful craft shop. On the edge of the village is the Glazebrook House Hotel and its award-winning restaurant for a special evening out. There are beautiful short walks within the village along the River Avon and Glazebrook, including several nature reserves and footpaths connecting further to local moorland trails and beauty spots for keener walkers. The village has a regular half-hourly bus service connecting to Plymouth, Totnes Railway Station (with connections to Bristol and London) and Torquay.

Located on the southern edge of the stunning Dartmoor National Park which covers almost 370 square miles of granite tors, acres of open moor grazed by Dartmoor ponies and wooded valleys, there are plenty of activities to partake in including hiking, wild swimming, horse-riding, caving, cycling, kayaking and rock climbing. The Dartmoor towns of Ashburton and Buckfastleigh are just a ten-minute drive away and offer shopping and other family-based attractions.  For those not feeling quite so energetic, Dartmoor is still a fantastic place to simply get some fresh air, dip your toes in a stream or sit back and enjoy a Devon cream tea. 

Only 12 miles from the stunning beach of Wonwell and within easy driving distance of Bigbury, Kingsbridge Salcombe and Noss Mayo, day trips to the coast offer a great alternative for a fun day-out including access to a range of water sports and some of the finest sailing waters in the UK. Totnes (7 miles away), is famous as England’s alternative centre, it has plenty of independent shops, weekly market and good restaurants. The lively cities of Plymouth and Exeter, with their shops, museums, restaurants, theatres, cinemas and National Marine Aquarium are also just a 20 or 30-minute drive away respectively.
