  • Indoor games room suitable for all ages
  • External play area for the under 12’s
  • Grassed meadow for that game of football or a picnic.

There is bench seating close to the children’s play area to enable you to watch over the children, whilst you relax, taking in the view of the rolling hills of South Devon.  

The area local to Swift Cottage offers a mix of attractions to suit all tastes and ages. From hiking and nature trails to tennis and fishing there are lots of opportunities to explore the nearby areas.

"Perfect location and stunning accommodation and facilities. The location is in the countryside, on the outskirts of a village. The standard of the accommodation was extremely high and had all the facilities that you could imagine... The swimming pool was lovely and relaxing, and games room was very well-equipped for all ages. There was also plenty of outdoor space with a family play area. The complex area was very well maintained and the staff were very helpful and friendly. The attention to detail from Jacquie, our accommodation owner, was outstanding. Thank you Jacquie for a very memorable week's stay. See you again."

"This lovely, characterful period cottage is in a beautiful setting on a converted farm. Perfect for children, with a heated indoor pool across the courtyard and also a well-equipped games room and outdoor play area for little ones. Plenty of parking, and recycling facilities in the car park. Within a short drive of places like River Dart Country Park, Kents Cavern, Crealey's theme park, lots of clean beaches, and also Newton Abbot or Totnes for shopping/takeaways etc. We have been 3 times and this won't be the last!"
