Description from owner
Description
Recently converted to a high standard from an open fronted barn, Swallow Barn is now a delightful single storey cottage whose guests may benefit from the use of a private indoor heated swimming pool. It is called Swallow Barn because of the swallows that used to return every year to nest in its rafters.
The barn has two bedrooms, a double and a twin, a large sitting/dining room and a well equipped kitchen. Each bedroom has an en suite bathroom with shower over bath. One bathroom has been specially equipped for use by disabled guests. Swallow Barn has a fully enclosed south facing terrace with table, chairs and a barbeque. It is set in spacious grounds with plenty of safe playing space for children and access to a rural footpath to the small market town of Halesworth. The cottage is equipped to a high standard and has easy, level access for wheelchair users. There is a log burning stove backed up by full cental heating,satelite TV and DVD and Wifi. Solar panels on the roof provide most of the hot water, particularly in summer. The owners’ private indoor heated swimming pool is available to guests by individual arrangement at a small extra charge. There is parking for two cars.
Set on the edge of the pretty village of Holton, Swallow Barn is less than one mile from the centre of Halesworth where there is a range of shops, restaurants and pubs. The popular seaside town of Southwold is only 20 minutes away and for walkers and bird watchers there is the RSPB sanctuary at Minsmere and the wild heaths of Dunwich all within a short drive. For culture lovers the famous Snape Maltings concert hall and the Halesworth arts centre, The Cut, offer a wide range of top quality films,concerts and plays. This unspoilt area has something to offer visitors of all ages and interests. Rural Suffolk is one of Britain’s best kept secrets.

“A lovely relaxing holiday home!”
Swallow Barn is a lovely place to stay, with the added bonuses of the indoor heated pool and big garden, it really is an ideal place just to chill out and relax. Southwold is only a twenty minute drive away, so you can easily have a day at the beach too. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Swallow Barn - and particularly loved the pool!

Good location if you are looking for a peaceful break away from the hassles of a busy life. The indoor swimming pool made a huge difference as the weather wasn't that kind. Perfect for families
