The Swallows is one of seven holiday cottages that form Character Farm Cottages and is situated on our working farm 5 miles to the west of Weymouth and a stones throw from the stunning Chesil Beach and Jurassic coastline. The cottage sleeps 4 and has 2 upstairs bedrooms, one a double and the other a twin. The cottage has recently been renovated but has maintained a cosy cottage feel with exposed beams and an open log fire. The kitchen is well equipped and has a table which sits 4 for sociable meals together. The sitting room has a sofa and 2 armchairs to relax in front of the log fire or watching TV/DVD. It has French windows leading out onto the patio and garden. Free wifi is provided for you to keep in touch with the outside world! The upstairs bathroom has a bath and shower head attachment.
The Swallows has a decent size enclosed garden with a south facing patio and garden furniture to enjoy a barbeque or evening drinks as you watch the sunset. The garden leads onto our own farmland from which you can join the Coastal Footpath and numerous shorter walks. There is plenty of parking beside the cottage and we are dog friendly (max 2).
There is a games room a short distance away from the cottage in the Old Stables which has a table tennis, table football and a good selection of paperbacks for you to borrow. It also has laundry facilities.
We try to stick to weekly breaks running Friday to Friday and short breaks out of season - a 3 night break running Friday to Monday and a 4 night break running Monday to Friday. However we can be flexible if you have different requirements.

    We arrived on a rather wet Monday in the lovely hamlet of Langton Herring. The cottage was lovely with everything we needed for a few days break. We did some lovely walks in the area and had easy access to both Portland and Weymouth. A lovely place to stay. Definitely recommend it for someone looking for peace and quiet.

    This is a fab cottage to stay in - firstly the cottage is a good size, very clean and has all the amenities you will need for a week or so away. The setting is marvellous and there are local walks right on your doorstep. Very quiet location with great surrounding countryside. Location is great too as a short drive from Weymouth, West Bay and Lyme Regis as well as towns of Dorchester, Bridport etc. Would highly recommend!

    Lovely cottage in quiet setting. Easy access to lots of beautiful towns and interesting places. We had never been to the area before but would certainly return in future and would happily return to the cottage.

    It was a quiet central location giving us easy access to many of the local restaurants and beaches. We would highly recommend The Kings Arms and a little further afield Clavells at Kimmeridge. We would recommend Weymouth.....lovely sandy beach which had a place for our dogs to run free up by the pavilion. We would certainly go again.

    We had a lovely week staying at the Swallows. Colin replied to my emails really quickly before we went and provided some really handy information. The cottage is lovely and has everything you need and is in a really quiet area. We used the Weymouth Park and Ride to find our bearings on the first day and there was lots to do in the area. We did Nothe Fort, Chesil Beach and spent a day in Dorchester going round the museums there. I loved the Teddy Bear museum.

    Beautiful cottage,in quiet location close to the coast path.The cottage was well equipped,very clean and cosy and we all enjoyed our stay. Would recommend and go again. Local pub a little disappointing as it was closed Saturday night due to bad weather,that was before the snow! We did eat there later in the week and the food was very good. The Kings Arms a little further away had great staff,service and excellent food especially the Sunday roast. Booking the cottage easy and quick response to any questions we had.Well done and thank you.

    Went in Nov with my three year old, dog and hubby. Three year old and dog loved the little garden and the walks from the door were great. Three year old loved playing on the tractor left in farm near the baby calves too. The house is simple and cosy - lovely real fire in the living room. Great location for doing stuff. Corfe Castle was a real highlight day out. Loved it! A proper relaxing yet busy 10 days. Fun had by all.

    The cottage matched the property description perfectly. It was immaculate and well maintained and in a quiet location, with views across the valley to the Hardy monument. Comfortable beds with immaculate bedding. Only a short drive, or an uphill walk, to the local pub which served good food. The wifi password could have been a little more obvious, and details of appliances and heating controls would be nice, but we worked all that out quite quickly. We would recommend this cottage, and intend to return.
