About this property

2 Bed in Swimbridge (oc-n0208)

Set in the breathtaking North Devon countryside, this charming stone cottage is perfect for a small family or two couples looking for a holiday away together. The two-bedroom hideaway is peacefully nestled in the village of Swimbridge, only 6.5 miles from the walking and cycling trails of the Exmoor National Park. Enjoy a reviving morning in the lovely garden before you set off on your adventures, with the relaxing sound of the babbling river running nearby.


Step into the cottage and be greeted with a welcoming warmth and a homely atmosphere. The comfortable lounge with its stone chimney breast is the ideal space to put your feet up and watch TV. In the kitchen/diner, you'll find all the necessary equipment to make delicious meals for your family and friends. Upstairs, you'll find a double bedroom with en-suite shower room, and a twin bedroom. Also on this floor, you'll find the family bathroom.


Take a short stroll over to your private, fenced garden which is 20 metres from the cottage. Here, you can relax in the sunshine, take in the stunning views of the river and look out for local wildlife on the decking area floating above the river.


The cottage is just 4.5 miles from Barnstaple, a bustling town with plenty to explore. From the colourful pannier market to the independent shops, there's something for everyone. If you're feeling adventurous, why not explore the nearby national park of Exmoor? With walking and cycling routes, you're sure to find plenty of things to do. For a day of relaxation, take a trip to the stunning Saunton Sands, just 13 miles away. A famous surfing spot, you can spend the day splashing about in the sea or enjoying a picnic on the beach.

Lovely stay at a lovely cottage

We enjoyed our stay very much. The cottage has everything you need and the owners are very nice people. Swimbridge is a quiet village and the perfect location for trips all over north Devon.

Dairy cottage

From the moment we arrived to a cream tea to the sad moment we had to leave the Dairy cottage is all that anyone could wish for. Situated in a quiet lane with all that you could require for a break. Colin and Lee were helpful landlords organising new leads for the video overnight, as the originals had been mislaid. Peter and Denise

A Bit Disappointing

1. Not really big enough for 6 people. 2. Only one toilet which was insufficient for 4 people let alone 6. Description said there was an en-suite which gave the impression that it included a toilet. This was not the case. 3. Cottage was generally clean but upstairs there was a lot of dust and cobwebs & spiders, which we had to clean before our granddaughters could go to sleep. We went into the property later, in order for it to be deep cleaned because of Covid 19. This appeared to be only a surface clean. 4. Shower was good but overflowed, probably due to drain being blocked with hair. 5. No interaction by owner to check all was well during the week. 6. Definitely could have done with a dish washer in the kitchen as there is sufficient room for one. 7 Bathroom could have been designed to accommodate a stand up shower. Despite all the above, we did enjoy our time in Swimbridge .

Beautiful house

The house is equipped with everything we could’ve needed and more. It is located in a quiet village which is perfectly located for exploring North Devons beaches and yet close enough to visit Exeter and Taunton. Our young family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Thank you

Well equipped

This cottage has been renovated and equipped to a high standard. The beds are very comfortable so a good nights sleep is guaranteed. I know Devon very well but for a first time visitor this cottage is ideally placed to access the various N. Devon beaches and Exmoor.

Perfect break in North Devon

Very much enjoyed our stay in Dairy Cottage, which was very well appointed, and comfortable. The village is quiet, with an excellent pub and is within easy reach of North Devon’s fabulous coast.

Sehr geeignet für 4 Personen, für 2 mehr ist das Ausziehsofa in der Wohnstube recht eng. Gut heizbar, alles vorhanden was man braucht, sehr zu empfehlen, ruhige Umgebung, unkomplizierte Besitzer.
