The Nest at Swallows' Flight

We have just booked our 5th trip here after returning from our 4th. The location is perfect and is close driving distance to lots of fabulous things. Even after 4 visits we keep discovering new things to do. The accommodation itself is full of everything you need and more. There are lots of personal touches which make it feel like home. The view of the stars from the hot tub is always beautiful. What makes this place unlike anything else is how kind and wonderful both Lucia and Dan are. They really go out their way to make sure we have everything we need. We cannot recommend it enough.

A perfect place. The location is great, the ‘Nest’ (accommodation) is perfect, and the hosts are lovely, warming and very helpful. The Nest had everything we needed and the hot tub was the best way to end the day! We will be back for sure.

We had a wonderful 3 night stay in The Nest at Swallows Flight. It is in a stunning, tranquil location perfect for exploring South Hams. The barn has been beautifully renovated and is really comfortable and well equipped. We loved the private hot tub and all of the local recommendations. Lucia was responsive and welcoming. We would love to return one day!

The surroundings are idyllic. Country side bliss with a constant heated hot tub. The The Nest was superior accommodation. Rustic with a mod twist. Every detail paid attention to. Coffee pods! Good cooking facilities. Loved the hooks to hang up all the hols gear. Roll top bath. All so comfy .

Swallow’s Nest was an excellent choice for us, a couple celebrating our wedding anniversary, wanting to be back in one of our favourite places, the South Hams of Devon. We received a warm welcome from our hosts, Lucia and Dan, and quickly settled in to the beautifully appointed apartment. Pictures and mugs all had a Swallow theme, with the birds themselves raising a brood within a few feet of the door. The farmstead with its holiday accommodation provides a welcome retreat from the usual pace of life, with fields and lanes to explore and beaches nearby. Great place, excellent hosts.

We (myself, my wife and our 8 y.o. son) stayed at the Nest Barn for a week vacation over Easter. The accommodation is set in a barn away from the owners own property, within impeccably kept gardens with ample parking. The accommodation is beautifully appointed and furnished to a high standard; the owners have been really considered in providing all the amenities that could be needed on a family break. The huge bonus was the 'rooftop hot-tub', which was an absolute delight in the evening. Lucia is an outstanding host, where nothing really is too much trouble; an amazing vacation.

The welcome and hospitality of the hosts was amazing and the ability to utilise all of the grounds was most appreciated, not least by baby Scarlett! The added bonus of a babysitter on tap allowing a Friday night out was very much appreciated.... A delightful spot in the beautiful countryside with excellent ice cream to boot. No doubt a return will be on the cards.

I’m writing this from the tube which feels a million miles from the wonderful Devon landscape. Thank you so much for a truly lovely vacation. It’s always a treat hanging out at Swallows Flight and you make us feel so welcome. It was great to also meet your friends and have a few drinks together. We very much hope to be back soon!

We had the most wonderful stay at Swallows Flight. Everything was touched with a little magic - the barn beautifully equipped, the wood burner toasty and the hot tub a real treat. The location is perfect for exploring Devon and there is no shortage of stuff to do and eat. Our 8 and 5 year olds had a blast and the Blys are just fab - welcoming, helpful and super friendly. We hope to go back soon. Highly recommended.

Took a trip over from the U.S. And couldn't be more pleased that we were able to stay at Lucia and Dan's Swallows' Flight. Two lovely people with fantastic accommodations, hospitality and genuine care for what they do. Very comfortable bed, clean and quiet making it a very relaxing time. We had trouble getting a cab and they were more than willing to give us a ride to the train station. Dan is quite the driver and makes a fantastic breakfast. Never been to the south of England. Because of our experience we can't wait to go back!

A stunning home, in a beautiful part of the country, with hosts who make you feel like family guests. Absolutely perfect.

Fantastic welcome, lovely room, great location, delicious breakfasts, delightful hosts & nothing was too much trouble. Very highly recommended

My husband & I, along with our two children (10months and 3years) have just returned from a fabulous stay at swallows flight. everything from the hospitality to the facilities and cleanliness was 5* both our boys including us had such an amazing time within the grounds. clean travel cot plus a bed for our eldest was provided amongst toys and much more. me and my husband even got to relax in the hottub one evening whist thy provided a babysitter. we also visited mill bay beach which is a must, our eldest loved playing football on the sandy beach and building sandcastles.

My 7 year old daughter and I stayed at Swallows' Flight over half-term and it truely exceeded our expectations. The accommodation was perfect; spotlessly clean, well equipped and with beautiful views! The hot tub was a real treat after a bracing day on the beach and log burner was perfect in the evenings accompanied with a glass of wine and a good book! Our hosts also recommended some wonderful places to eat. We will definitely be returning and I would recommend it to those looking for a little haven of quiet that is close to some of the best Devon has to offer.

We spent a week at Chillington staying in the converted barn. It is a lovely location, the accommodation is wonderful, full of character and spotless. This is a really quiet and peaceful place. We were made to feel very welcome. Lucia and Dan have obviously put a lot of work into the barn. They are very warm friendly affable people really keen to help and give advice on places to visit. The barn gives you a lot of privacy and independence and the fridge is well stocked with excellent ice cream that Dan produces. We could not have wished for a better holiday nor to meet such nice people.
