Swallows End – Romantisches Dartmoor Refugium mit Whirlpool & Hallenbad

Summary:

Chic Ground-Floor Apartment with Wood-Fired Hot Tub & Access to Heated Swimming Pool and Sauna



Escape to Swallows End, a beautifully styled ground-floor apartment designed for couples seeking peace, luxury and natural beauty. Nestled in the Teign Valley at the gateway to Dartmoor National Park, this chic countryside retreat blends Scandi-inspired interiors with indulgent private outdoor living, including a natural Swedish-style wood-fired hot tub.



The Space:

One of only two boutique apartments on a quiet private estate, Swallows End offers exclusive tranquillity with the bonus of premium leisure facilities: a vaulted indoor heated pool, a sauna and serene wooded gardens, plus your own private wood-fired hot tub.



A stylish country escape

Step into contemporary comfort in the open-plan lounge, kitchen and diner, with rustic flagstone flooring, warm wooden furnishings, plush seating and a Smart TV. Starlink high-speed Wi-Fi keeps you connected, if you choose to be.



The modern kitchen has everything you need for effortless self-catering, from an electric hob and Nespresso coffee machine to a dishwasher. A separate utility area with washing machine and tumble dryer is ideal after long walks on the moors.



The calming double bedroom has soft tones, French-inspired décor and a second Smart TV for slow, indulgent mornings. A contemporary bathroom with shower over the bath and LED mirror completes the space.



Your own outdoor sanctuary

Outside, a secluded stone-walled courtyard has outdoor seating and a gas barbecue. The highlight is the private wood-fired hot tub, perfect for stargazing, soaking after walks or cosy evenings with a chilled drink.



Good to know:

Hot tub: The hot tub is wood-fired and managed by guests during their stay, so our hosts are unable to operate it for you. Please allow time after arrival to fill it and light the stove to bring it up to temperature.

Shared facilities: The swimming pool and sauna are shared with one other apartment, so you may be sharing them if that apartment is occupied.

Pets: Pets are welcome for an additional charge.



Guest Access:

Swallows End is largely a mobility-friendly property on the ground floor; please note that the doors are of standard width and there is a lip through the entrance door. There are steps into the property, and into the bathroom, as well as stairs leading to the pool.



The Neighborhood:

Rolling hills? Stunning walks? Magical waterfalls? This apartment has all that and more, thanks to its fantastic South Devon location in the pretty Teign Valley. It’s right on the edge of the legendary Dartmoor National Park, where you can walk, cycle and pony trek to your heart’s content, taking in wild and rugged views. You’re just a short distance from Stover Country Park, a 114-acre nature reserve where wildlife and nature abound. Follow the 90-metre aerial walkway and explore the Ted Hughes Poetry Trail, which features some of the late poet laureate’s best-loved nature poems, with illustrations by Raymond Briggs. Lose yourself among the ancient woodland, waterfalls and lakes of Canonteign Falls or try Kennick, Trenchford, and Tottiford reservoirs for easy and relaxing walking.



Stunning coastal views can be found on the English Riviera. For a relaxed sightseeing tour, take the Riviera Line, the coastal railway route running between Exeter and Paignton, which stops at many of the region’s most interesting and beautiful towns along the way, including Dawlish and Torquay. If you fancy a beach day, it’s a 40-minute drive to Torbay, where there are loads of hidden sandy coves and pretty harbour villages to explore. Twelve miles and 25 minutes' drive to the south is the pretty seaside town of Dawlish, famous for its sandy beachfront, colourful huts and black swans. The bright lights, eateries and entertainment of Exmouth or Exeter can all be reached within 40 minutes.



If you’re a foodie, there’s lots of options, from super-posh Gidleigh Park near Chagford to the high-end Manor Inn at Lower Ashton to the Teign House Inn up the valley near Christow. Other authentic Dartmoor boozers to try are the Bridford Inn at Bridford for a real country atmosphere and good food, the Artichoke at Christow for traditional pub grub and the Cridford Inn at Trusham, one of the oldest pubs in Devon.
