We had the perfect week at Swallows Rest. It is the perfect mix of feeling remote enough to escape the rest of the world, but enough going on locally for when you want to venture out and explore. Owners say hi and then leave you to it. We will be booking again!

'Swallows Rest' made a really comfortable base from which to explore the area. There is some fantastic coastal walking direct from the property and we made some lovely circular walks by coming back via, mostly, well maintained and clearly waymarked paths. We could not have hoped for better weather. The campsite on the same farm looked well worth a Read morevisit too. Hide

A lovely well equipped cottage situated in a quite rural location with beautiful views of the coast line and within easy reach of Boscastle. For those who like walking there is easy access to the coastal foot path, and several other walks near by.

Such a gorgeous little cottage/converted barn - so well equipped: we felt instantly at home. Loved the remote location: we didn't need facilities close by and loved the silence and the dark at night! As other reviews have said, the bed WAS amazingly comfortable. ...I often struggle in beds other than my own, but slept better than I do at home. The Read morebedroom is amazingly cool in the hot summer which was also welcome. The owners were lovely and helpful and easily contactable. Loved our week :-) Hide

A Charming cottage, clean,comfortable,cosy.Quiet location suitable for walkers being close to the coastal path. We found the narrow road to the farm daunting at first but soon got used to it.The owners live next door and were pleasant and helpful when needed. We spent an enjoyable week at Swallows Rest.
