The Nest at Swallows’ Flight - Self-catering in Devon
Old Coleridge Farm
Coleridge Lane
Chillington, Kingsbridge, TQ7 2JG, Devon
England,
Royaume-Uni
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, and there's an Airstream in the yard below. 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.

Local points of interest from Lucia & Dan Bly:
Points d'intérêt locaux proposés par
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
