The place

Just north of the Axmouth to Lyme Regis Undercliffs National Nature Reserve, Swallows Cabin is sat amongst the rolling Devon hillside. You’ve paddocks onsite to let the dog run free in, all the patchwork fields around you to explore, forest to your north for afternoon strolls and coast just 15 minutes away for windswept walks. If you’ve got an adventurous or high energy dog, there’s something to do all day long, wherever you turn. Once you’ve burned off that energy, or if you’ve got more of the couch potato variety of hound, then simply come back to your cosy cabin and while away the hours in peace and quiet. Enjoy lunch or dinner out in the sunshine at the al fresco table and watch your dog meander around the enclosed garden. If you fancy some activities, there's a heated saltwater shared pool, and a shared games room onsite too. There’s plenty of foodie spots nearby, so you’ll be fine dining whether that’s back at your space or at a dog-friendly pub.
