The property is in a fantastic location. Felt at home as soon as we arrived. Loved the bright and airy dining area off of kitchen. Perfect for having our breakfast and planning our day. Our dog loved the safe enclosed garden gor playing ball. It's essential for is as he is a whippet/collie who likes to run and sometimes a job to get back. The loungRead moree very comfortable after a long day to sit and watch some TV. Great night sleep in all beds. Loved the quietness of Overstrand. We Loved our break. Hide

This was our second stay at the Swallows, the house is just beautiful and the location perfect for our needs. The kitchen is very practical with plenty of utensils for self catering. We took long walks along the beach and in the surrounding area with our energetic pup, even managed an evening swim in October as it was still so warm. Overstrand is aRead more quiet place, perfect for relaxing and well connected to some of the bigger seaside towns either side. A wonderful break, cant wait to go back. Hide
