Does the cottage have an Air fryer – Nope we don’t have an air fryer and no need to bring one with you either!

Our Oven actually has an Air fryer setting on it and we provide an air fryer style basket for you to cook your chips in.

Are you a big fan of Air Fryers or do you not get what all of the fuss is about?

Welcome to all of our new followers, time to introduce you all to Swallows Roost, newly built and taking bookings since May 2026. It’s a detached one bedroom property sleeping up to 2 Adults and upto 3 dogs are welcome for FREE. Located on the edge of Exmoor in North Devon on the owners’ land, along with a 2 acre secure dog walking field with lots of fun equipment and 6 foot fencing for sole use sessions. But that’s not all, there is a further 3 acre field which can be used at any time of day by Swallows Roosts guests.

The property itself is close to Passive house standards with air source heating and a Zappi car charger. A fenced garden directly behind the parking area has 4 foot fencing around it with low steps up to the front door. The Bootroom leads to a large openplan kitchen/dinning and sitting room with views across the valley from a decking area. The back half of the property contains a bedroom with King Sized bed and a walk in wardrobe as well as a large bathroom with separate bath and large shower. Dogs are allowed in the bedroom and on the sofa if that’s what they are used to doing at home.

You may have already guessed that Sarah & Darren are passionate about dogs and we strongly believe that keeping dogs happy on their holidays mean owners will be happy too. We look forwards to welcoming you to our little piece of rural Doggy Devon Heaven.

We do allow dogs in the bedroom and on the sofa and we don’t have any stairs so why do we have 2 stairgates in the property?

Using stairgates can help keep dogs where you want them, when you want them there (Did that even make sense?)

The first stairgate is positioned between the Bootroom and the kitchen.
🐾After a wet walk, you can use the stairgate to keep the dogs in the Bootroom while you dry them off and sort out your wet coats and boots.
🐾When you are unloading or loading your car, you can keep them the kitchen side of the stairgate so they don’t get under your feet or try to escape through the garden gate when your hands are full of bags or cases.
🐾If you are finding this stairgate is a pain and would rather just shut the door between the two rooms when needed, it can simply be lifted off and left out of the way.

The second stair gate is positioned between the open plan reception room and the back part of the property where the bathroom and bedroom are.
🐾You can use this one to keep them out of the bedroom during the day time.
🐾If your dogs don’t go in the bedroom at home you can use the gate to keep them in the reception rooms at night and still leave the bedroom door open if you want to, so your dogs know exactly where you are.
🐾You can also use it so dogs don’t follow you into the bathroom.
🐾When not in use, this gate folds completely flat against the wall out of the way.

Do you use stairgates at home for your dogs or do they annoy you?

I think it's safe to say this little pair of dogs had plenty of fun adventures exploring the area while staying at Swallows Roost - Devon Banks .
Enjoying the lovely sandy beaches of Saunton sands, Crowpoint and Putsborough and walks at Lynmouth & Tarr steps.
