Swallows' Barn

Situated at the end of the row, the entrance to Swallows' Barn is up a flight of wooden steps through the stable door situated on the cottage's sunny balcony. In the living area three small shuttered windows overlook the Manor's courtyard. A large window opposite overlooks the cottages' lawned area, and at the entrance, a row of windows overlooks the balcony to the paddocks where the goats reside, to the rolling fields beyond. Swallows' Barn with its neighbouring cottage Lambs' Barn can be ideal for larger parties as it has particularly versatile accommodation which can be opened up through a conjoining door so that the two are interlinked upstairs and the shared space can then sleep ten in two double rooms and three twin rooms.

Upstairs the decor and layout differs somewhat from the other cottages, the down lit ceiling creating an intimate feel. This, the only cottage without a wood-burning stove enjoys other attributes including the moorland view from the attractive balcony with garden furniture and barbecue. In the summer, when the weather is fine, this space acts as an additional 'outside' room. Downstairs, the double room has a decorative French wrought iron bed, hand-painted furniture and fresh daisy patterned curtains. The twin room has two hand-painted sleigh beds and useful fitted shelving for storage.
