About this property
Swifts Return – Cosy Dartmoor Hideaway with Wood-Fired Hot Tub & Pool
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. Please note, the indoor heated swimming pool will be shared with any other customers staying on site also.
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.
