Swallow Barn

Summary

Swallow Barn is a delightful single storey self catering holiday cottage in Halesworth, Suffolk. Guests may benefit from the use of a private indoor heated swimming pool. It is called Swallow Barn because of the many swallows that used to return to nest in the rafters each summer.

Accommodation

The barn has two bedrooms, a double and a twin, a large sitting/dining room and a well equipped kitchen which includes a dishwasher and washing machine. Each bedroom has an en suite bathroom with shower, one of which has been specially equipped for use by disabled guests.

The holiday cottage has oil fired central heating and solar panels to heat the hot water. The sitting room has a cast iron log burning stove and as well as a TV with Freesat TV and a DVD player. There is also a radio and CD player.

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 by 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.

The owners’ private indoor heated swimming pool is available to guests by individual arrangement at a small extra charge. The 28ft x 14ft swimming pool is to be found in a purpose built, Scandinavian style timber hall. It comes with a changing room, shower and WC facilities. Both pool and hall are heated by a sophisticated solar powered system, backed up by oil, to a constant 29C . This makes swimming a most enjoyable experience throughout the year. The pool overlooks the garden and the paddock and includes a pleasant sitting area where you can relax after a swim.
