We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Swift Barn, the space was perfect for our family of 5 and the hot tub was used daily. The split level barn was very homely. We particularly loved choosing a DVD from the Roost to watch with the children after a day of exploring, very nostalgic and was a lovely touch! And we enjoyed playing air hockey and the footRead moreball table with the children, also walking around the grounds. Its clear that Darren and his wife work extremely hard and genuinely care about the guest experience. We will definitely be back and would 100% recommend staying at Netherbridge Farm! Hide

I booked this weekend for my partner's birthday and we were so disappointed by the place. We are not fussy and this is the first bad review I've ever left on a holiday cottage but I want to warn other people planing to stay here. The least you expect from a stay is cleanliness but this place was not clean. There was a glass eyelash left in the showRead moreer, sofa covered in dog hairs, stains on cushions, thick dust under bedroom drawers, dirty dishes put back in the cupboard. So disappointed. Hide

Our stay was absolutely perfect! Lovely hosts, welcoming you to this slice of heaven, couldn't have asked for more. We were allowed to check in 2 hours early as we were on the road for almost 4 hours, wich was just so understanding. Dog bed and blankets were provided as well as blankets and treats! Beautiful, peaceful grounds all around and a dark Read moresky to see all the stars from the hot tub Also,were provided with a lovely cake stand with local baked goodies. We will definitely be going back. Hide

Good location for visiting National Trust properties, visiting the coast and towns in both Devon and Cornwall. Property was clean and comfortable. Although we didnt use it the games room appeared to be well equipped. The milk and goodies were very much appreciated.

The cottage was exactly what we wanted, we had a brilliant stay - the only issue (small and maybe an us issue) but the bedrooms got a little chilly.
