Soak up the views during your stay.
Swift Cottage is a lovely cosy cottage that enjoys sea views but also has direct access on to Exmoor. It has a dog proof garden and the cottage is completely dog friendly with hard easy to clean floors. The walking out of the door is second to none with the choice of walking down to the beach or the Valley of the Rocks or walking for miles on the moors without seeing a single person.
Even though it is remote and tranquil it still enjoys all the wonderful amenities of Lynton and Lynmouth

The space
RECENTLY UPDATED We have had 100% 5 star ratings since the cottage has been redecorated.
If you love peace and quiet then this is the place to come. Get away from people and city life. There are only three cottages on the farm and they all enjoy complete peacefulness and calm with only the sound of birdsong to listen to and the wonderful sea and moorland views to soak in. GOOD for the soul.
The kitchen has everything you could want to self cater. The living room has one sofa and one comfy armchair and a small dining table. The beds are super comfy and there are blackout curtains so that you can enjoy a wonderful nights sleep.
The bathroom is new with marble tiles and a walk in power shower.
Excellent Wifi.
You can open the front door straight out in to the secure garden so that your dogs can go in and out on their own. The garden has a lovely seating area with sea views so that you can enjoy that glass of wine in the evening.
We have a secure DOGGY PLAY BARN with a complimentary one hour free session as a guest. As well as other things this play barn has agility equipment in so that you can have fun with your pooch.
Please note that if your dog chases animals (chickens, horses, sheep) he/she will need to be on a lead around the farm.

Guest access
Guests will be able to access the whole farm. They will be able to say hello to Wiggley and Piggley the pet pigs and feed them scraps at the allotted time. They could also collect their own eggs from our free range chickens.
Children MUST be accompanied by an adult

Other things to note
We have a Doggy Play Barn and I offer a dog sitting service for those days when it might be difficult to take your dog with you. I am fully licenced and insured.

We have a Helipad on the farm for those lucky enough to have access to a helicopter

Neighbourhood highlights

Set within the Exmoor, Swift Cottage would have one of the finest views on Exmoor. It looks out onto the moors in one direction and over the sea in the other. If you like wilderness and beautiful scenery then this is the place to come. Total peace and quiet. Whilst our professional cleaners do a fantastic job please don't come here if you are a 'clean freak' as there maybe the odd cobweb particularly during the busy times when a deep clean is not possible. Instead of looking for dust go outside and see how incredible nature is and how lucky we are to be able to enjoy it!
You have your own dog proof/child proof garden so you can relax with a glass of wine whilst knowing that your precious ones are safe.
Only one hundred and fifty steps and you are out onto the open moors with miles of walking in front of you.
Whilst it feels remote and peaceful on one hand there are local amenities within five minutes in a car - Lynton and Lynmouth have everything you could want including a local cinema for the rainy days.
