Swallow Barn is an extremely inviting rural holiday cottage in Somerset. Beautifully renovated to a high standard, the two-storey self-catering property boasts underfloor heating, a log burner, and a luxuriously large bedroom with a sumptuous superking-sized bed. It's in Low Ham, a pretty hamlet 16 miles from Taunton with good access to the Somerset Levels and Moors. Even closer is the tiny town of Langport and the River Parrett, meaning that you're never far from a great view or a peaceful riverside spot for fishing. Swallow Barn has been furnished and decorated with couples in mind but is also wonderfully welcoming for friends and individuals.
Low Ham is small in size but big in views, with the rolling countryside as far as you can see. The church is a Grade I listed building known as "The Church in the Field". It dates from 1620, and if you look closely, you can see the damage inflicted during the Civil War Battle of Langport in 1645. It's an area loved by walkers for the landscape's beauty and the footpaths' diversity that offer a choice for all abilities. The owners have helpfully included maps and other information in the cottage to help you plan your route. The Somerset Levels and Moors are also a favourite place for bird watchers, especially in winter when they watch breathtaking starling murmurations and the lives of thousands of other migrating birds. Take your binoculars to RSPB Ham Wall, Shapwick Heath and Westhay Moor, all of which are within a short drive or easy cycling distance of the cottage.
Easy to reach via the M4 and the M5, Somerset is a holiday destination for all seasons. Local attractions include the Hayes International Motor Museum, the Fleet Air Arm Museum, Barrington Court, Tintinhull Garden, and Montacute House. We highly recommend a wander around Langport and Somerton, as well as day trips to Glastonbury, Wookey Hole Caves, and England's smallest city of Wells.
Stress? You won't even know the meaning of the word by the time you're ready to leave! Every detail of Swallow Barn has been considered for your comfort, and you'll appreciate the care as you sleep soundly on Egyptian cotton bedlinen, enjoy a fresh pot of tea on your arrival, and soak in your private hot tub.
