Swallows End: Luxury Countryside Apartment with Wood-Fired Hot Tub on Dartmoor’s Edge



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



One of only two boutique apartments on a quiet private estate, Swallows End offers exclusive tranquillity with the added benefit of shared premium leisure facilities: a vaulted indoor heated pool, a rejuvenating sauna, and serene wooded gardens.



Pets are accepted and are chargeable.



A Stylish Country Escape



Step into contemporary comfort with an open-plan lounge-kitchen-diner featuring rustic flagstone flooring, warm wooden furnishings, plush seating, and a smart TV. With upgraded Starlink high-speed Wi-Fi, you can remain connected — if you choose to be.



The modern kitchen includes everything needed for effortless self-catering, from an electric hob and Nespresso coffee machine to a well-equipped utility area with washing machine, tumble dryer and dishwasher — ideal after long walks on the moors.



Relax in the calming double bedroom complete with soft tones, French-inspired décor, and a second smart TV for slow, indulgent mornings. A contemporary bathroom with shower-over-bath and LED mirror completes the comfort.



Your Own Outdoor Sanctuary



Outside, a secluded stone-walled courtyard offers space to unwind with a gas BBQ, outdoor seating, and the highlight — a private wood-fired hot tub, perfect for stargazing, soaking after walks, or cosy evenings with a chilled drink.



You’ll also have access to the stunning, newly refurbished indoor heated pool and sauna, ideal for year-round relaxation. Please note, the indoor heated swimming pool will be shared with any other customers staying on site also.

Communication leading up to stay was fantastic. Love the dedicated app with lots of useful information about the property and surrounding area. Property was lovely and clean and an ideal location to explore the local area. Facilities were fantastic, use of the hot tub, pool and sauna were just what we needed. Would definitely recommend

Disappointed stay

The outside had not been cleared the barbecue was flithy , if we had of wanted to use the hot tub there was no step to get up to the level where the hot tub was . Moving to the inside the vertical blinds in the lounge where worn and black through been damp .The oven was beyond dirty and had not been cleaned , the microwave was also dirty we had to clean it to use it , the bathroom has a dirty screen there was mould on the shower head and dish where you put your shower products , the toilet seat was old and covered in paint staines .The bedroom did not have a proper wardrobe the blinds had 4 slats missing and where twisted I had to straighten the blind and put the clips back on but there where 4 vertical slats missing which did not give coverage for the whole window and to top it off they again where black with mould .For what was paid the expectation was one of quality which did not reflect what was found . Normally there is a welcome basket this was not available which is one aspect of service I suggest you change .With what was found we did not enjoy the stay having to clean before we could use anything far from the service rating we read , a fee was included for cleaning the accommodation after we left apart from anything you can offer by way of refund I am asking for that money back .Further more the steps up to the pool had not be cleared of leaves and where a hazard we have photographed things raised

Review of our stay for a week

We had a lovely time, the lodge, sauna and swimming pool were excellent. The only thing that let us down was the hot tub. It took over 2 hours to fill it with water. Heating the hot tub was a nightmare. It was a manual fireplace which we used, firelighters, coal, logs, kindling and even fire fluid lighter gel (at our expense) and it was still taking forever to heat up. We resorted to using boiling water from the kettle multiple times and still fell short of getting the hot tub at a nice hot temperature. It took over 3 hours to get the water heated, we felt this was excessive and waste of our time/day. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and only criticism we would give is regarding the got tub, so please consider investing in something more user friendly Thank you Amandeep and Sarwan

Lovely spot but for 5 star money I expect 5 star standards and it’s not quite there!

The property is lovely but finish is a bit tired/budget, there was very poor wifi/4g and could have been cleaner. Bedding and mattress not very comfortable. Hot tub in the raining was great, lovely garden with stream at the end, very peaceful. The lack of connectivity was our main issue and I think the listing should say the wifi is intermittent at best.
