Swallows End – Romantic Dartmoor Retreat with Hot Tub & Indoor Pool
Lower Ashton - Apartment
Accommodation
Description
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.
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 Private 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.
The Perfect Base for Exploring South Devon
Situated moments from Dartmoor’s wild landscapes and close to the beaches of the English Riviera, Swallows End places you within easy reach of nature trails, waterfalls, moorland adventures and coastal scenery. Explore Stover Country Park, Canonteign Falls, Dawlish Warren, Teignmouth, Torquay, and charming local pubs offering some of Devon’s finest food.
With private parking and countryside views at every turn, this is a romantic retreat designed to soothe, restore, and inspire.

Lovely place to stay for a few days break, hot tub is great once you get the hang of lighting and feeding the fire. They could do with having a step up to the platform where the hot tub is located, we had to use one of the chairs as a step!

The only criticism is that there was a bin full of rubbish outside the entrance, presumably from a previous tenant. |

The hot tub is excellent, not as private as you might think :) and takes a bit of love and attention to heat up, but worth it! Flat is small and homely, perfect size for a couple! |

A beautiful place with everything you need for a few nights away. The swimming pool and sauna area are immaculate and extremely well done. The apartment is cosy and the outdoor area provides just enough space for a pleasant evening in the hot tub and a small table to eat and drink. The hot tub does take some effort to get going by filling and heating up with wood (as detailed in the welcome pack) so take that into account if you're not used to maintaining fires. We were welcomed by the hosts but other than that left alone in this reasonably private and secluded stay.

Swifts Return: Chic Woodland Retreat Between Dartmoor & the Devon Coast
Escape to Swifts Return, a beautifully refurbished first-floor apartment for two, tucked in a quiet woodland glen between Dartmoor National Park and the South Devon coast. With a private wood-fired hot tub, indoor pool, sauna and dog-friendly charm, this idyllic hideaway is perfect for romantic breaks and peaceful rural escapes.
Nestled deep in the scenic Teign Valley between Dartmoor’s wild moorland and South Devon’s glittering coastline, Swifts Return offers a stylish and serene retreat for two. This beautifully refurbished first-floor apartment is made for guests seeking quiet, comfort and nature at their doorstep — with the added luxuries of a private wood-fired hot tub, access to an indoor swimming pool, wooden sauna, and cutting-edge Tesla Starlink broadband.
Designed as a cosy bolthole for couples or solo travellers, Swifts Return blends contemporary cottage charm with warm, homely touches. After a day exploring Dartmoor’s legendary tors or strolling the beaches of Torbay, return to your welcoming woodland base for evenings by the woodburner, stargazing from the hot tub or relaxing in the tranquil shared grounds.
Inside, the apartment is bright, inviting and thoughtfully curated. Step through the stable door into a chic living space featuring a comfortable sofa, armchair, Smart TV, DVD player and fast Wi-Fi. In the cooler months, curl up beside the woodburner — your first basket of logs is ready and waiting — for the perfect cosy night in.
The fresh, modern kitchen-diner includes everything you need for easy self-catering, from an oven and hob to a microwave and fridge with ice compartment. Enjoy a relaxed breakfast at the bar before heading out to explore the stunning Devon countryside.
The elegant bedroom offers a peaceful night’s sleep with its sumptuous king-size bed, soft furnishings, natural light and a Smart TV for lazy mornings. An en-suite bathroom completes the space, offering a shower-over-bath and WC for comfort and convenience.
Outside, your private patio invites you to unwind with a morning coffee, barbecue or even a traditional Devon cream tea. Beyond, you’re free to wander the shared lawns and woodland pathways, complete with a gently babbling brook. The vaulted indoor pool and wooden sauna offer a luxurious setting for a rejuvenating swim or quiet afternoon reading in the sunshine with the doors open to the fresh valley air.
For the ultimate treat, sink into your private self-maintained wood-fired hot tub and enjoy clear, starlit skies — a true rural retreat experience.
Whether you’re dreaming of adventurous hikes, quiet nature walks, coastal day trips or a peaceful escape with your four-legged friend, Swifts Return promises a memorable stay immersed in nature yet enriched with modern comforts.3 reviews
