Welcome to the gorgeous Swallow's Nest.
As well as a conventional kitchen, there's an alfresco, Mediterranean-inspired kitchen for cooking in nature.
The open plan kitchen sits just behind the living space.
The chic shower room is just the spot for freshening up after a day of adventures.
This historic building has an abundance of charm and character.
Not only is there a Kamado (barbecue and ceramic smoker) but there's a wood-fired pizza oven too!
The bedroom with king-sized bed is a welcoming space for a restorative break.
Sit back and relax in the roll-top bath - with a glass of wine and book in hand.
Perfectly equipped for your romantic getaway.
A bespoke retreat for two.
The warming wood-burner ensures year-round cosiness and adds a lovely atmosphere to out-of-season breaks.
Looking down from the mezzanine level to the open plan living space and out into the courtyard.
Your private courtyard is such a lovely place to relax and unwind.
From the courtyard your own gate leads to the meadow that borders the river - you are welcome to explore.
What an amazing location! Hatherland Mill Farm is shown here towards the middle of the shot - Swallow's Nest's courtyard backs onto the meadow in the foreground.
Your four-legged friend is welcome to join you on your adventure.

The friendly owners are happy to advise where the best riverside spots are for the chance to see an otter or a kingfisher.
The owners' rare breed cattle are nearby - just look at the gorgeous calf!
This traditional smallholding has earned conservation awards from Natural England and offers a wonderful opportunity to feel part of a sustainable and environmentally friendly way of living.
Wow! The wonderful setting of Hatherland Mill Farm - Swallow's Nest is the grey roof in front of the tree, near the middle of the farmstead.
The Exmoor National Park is well worth a visit. This is taken from Hadden Hill overlooking Wimbleball Lake.
Exmoor is a wonderful mixture of open moorland, deep valleys and tumbling rivers. Dulverton and Withypool are two lovely places with riverside walks and picnic spots.
You can be at the east Devon Jurassic coast in just under an hour. This is Sidmouth.

As soon as I saw Swallow’s Nest I fell In love with it. And it did not disappoint. It is quirky, comfortable, intimate and in a most beautiful tranquil setting. The kitchen is well equipped with appliances, tableware, cookware and utensils, it has all your need. The bedroom is amazing. I haven’t slept that well and managed to relax like that in a long time. You can tell that a lot of love has gone into the conversion of the accommodation as well as the whole setting. It has everything you would want. The owners are lovely and couldn’t do enough for us. They made us feel welcome, a delicious cream tea was waiting for us and they were so helpful with providing wood for the wood fired pizza oven which was fantastic. And so was the Kamado BBQ. We had the most delicious pizzas and BBQs. It was so interesting to learn about their conservation work, the land and the rare breeds they are looking after. You can tell they really care about the animals and the land. We cannot wait to return as soon as we get chance. I would highly recommend. ...

We booked for a few days once the UK Gov had given the green light for overnight stays, and it was exactly what we needed after a tough few months of working long hours at home, recovering from illness and having to deal with our wedding being cancelled. The property is beautifully furnished, and so much care has been given to the all of the finer details, including a beautiful outdoor dining area overlooking the Devon countryside and the farm animals. Our hosts were so welcoming and friendly, and we were able to explore their farmland and meet all of their beautiful animals - I’ve genuinely never met such pretty cows! It was so nice to stay self-catering, and find they’d left us the little things such as dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid, hand gel, and hand wash, which is so frequently missing in properties. The cream tea and jug of milk was my favourite surprise though! We loved it, and would love to return again in the future....

We had a lovely stay at Swallows Cottage. It was cosy and clean and we both said how nice it was to return to after a day of exploring. Lots of great finishing touches and the hosts are lovely and friendly.
