The Experience

The sturdy old granary, with stone steps to the first floor shiny from years of use, stands next to the owners’ house, which is a plus: Lucia and Dan are utterly charming and fun. Other barns are dotted about, handsome but ripe for conversion. The Nest at Swallows’ Flight is ideal for two, and a couple of kids besides, thanks to the comfy sofabed.

It’s a friendly open space you walk right into, with a rug-topped Marmoleum floor and an airy, vaulted ceiling. A wood-burner sits against the end wall, there’s a chunky table and a neat bank of kitchen units alongside one window, with a low cushioned window seat – sweet for a child. The bed, beneath a feathered globe hanging from the rafters, is perfectly dressed; the bathroom (a lovely roll top tub, a retro sink) is private.

Games in the trunk, logs in the basket – and, if you run out of the basics, a shop a mile away.

Reviews

Jenny, Bude

Just returned from 4 nights in the nest. Everything great! Couldn’t fault anything! Great hosts, very helpful. Will definitely return. Thank you for looking after us!


Aleicia & Oli, Birmingham

We have just booked our 5th trip here after returning from our 4th. The location is perfect and is close driving distance to lots of fabulous things. Even after 4 visits we keep discovering new things to do. The accommodation itself is full of everything you need and more. There are lots of personal touches which make it feel like home. The view of the stars from the hot tub is always beautiful. What makes this place unlike anything else is how kind and wonderful both Lucia and Dan are. They really go out their way to make sure we have everything we need. We cannot recommend it enough.


Neal, geneva

A perfect place. The location is great, the ‘Nest’ (accommodation) is perfect, and the hosts are lovely, warming and very helpful. The Nest had everything we needed and the hot tub was the best way to end the day! We will be back for sure.


Jenny, Guildford

We had a wonderful 3 night stay in The Nest at Swallows Flight. It is in a stunning, tranquil location perfect for exploring South Hams. The barn has been beautifully renovated and is really comfortable and well equipped. We loved the private hot tub and all of the local recommendations. Lucia was responsive and welcoming. We would love to return one day!


Jen, London

The surroundings are idyllic. Country side bliss with a constant heated hot tub. The The Nest was superior accommodation. Rustic with a mod twist. Every detail paid attention to. Coffee pods! Good cooking facilities. Loved the hooks to hang up all the hols gear. Roll top bath. All so comfy .


Location

The neighbourhood

You are in the pretty South Hams, surrounded by 1000 acres of dairy farmland and with stunning views of the rolling hills. Chillington village is half a mile for local shops, post office and a pub serving freshly-caught fish and locally-farmed meat and veg – and of course a pint of the local brew. The nearest beach is 5 minutes by car and Kingsbridge, the nearest town, is 5 miles for restaurants.

Local points of interest from Lucia & Dan Bly

  • The coast is our passion, we like to walk to our nearest beach AONB Slapton Sands for an afternoon's sun seeking or storm watching - it's stunning whatever the weather! We are close to many other lovely beaches and a full guide written by us is in the barn
  • We are a greedy bunch and love locally farmed (or caught!) food. There are many wonderful foodie places to eat out in the South Hams, but our favourites are Riverford Farm Field Kitchen for seasonal gastronomy and The Oyster Shack for freshest seafood
  • As we're into all things vintage, you can regularly find us in Totnes on market day hunting out bargains at the antique stalls and browsing the high street recently voted as one of the world's funkiest towns. Salcombe & Dartmouth are also great for a mooch
  • There are many lovely walks in the area and one of our favourites is along the River Dart with stunning views.
  • One of the best ways to get to know our area is by boat. This could be as low-key as borrowing a couple of our family kayaks and paddling around the Salcombe Estuary to an adventure hiring a day boat in Dartmouth or catching the ferry in Kingsbridge.
  • We run an ice cream and chocolate company in nearby Salcombe, and some of our four offspring can be found working there too, we have five local shops/beach cafés

Introducing

Lucia & Dan Bly

Alongside running the holiday barns Lucia is an integral part of the family business – the award-winning Salcombe Dairy Ice Cream and the Bean to Bar Salcombe Chocolate, both very delicious.
