Swallow Barn Bed and Breakfast.
Alison and Adrian Homa and Caroline and Bryan Channing look forward to
welcoming you to Swallow barn for a relaxing stay in the country.
Swallow Barn is nearly 100 years old. It is set in the heart of the farm,
as an annex to the farmhouse. It was converted during 2002 and finally
finished in the November.
We have retained many of the original features, including the old exposed
beams.
All the bedrooms have a double and a single bed, and are en-suite, with
a toilet, basin and shower. They are tastefully decorated, in a simple
country cottage theme.
There are two bedrooms on the ground floor, with stable doors leading
out onto the patio, where there is substantial wooden garden furniture,
where you can enjoy an evening drink and while away the time.
Upstairs are a further four bedrooms, which have retained the original
character of the building, with exposed beams. Two of these
rooms are adjoining with a connecting door. With the other two
having a double and two single beds each.
All of the bedrooms are well appointed with colour television, clock
radio, a tea and coffee hospitality tray, hairdryer, plenty of storage
space, and a comfortable seating area, with chairs and table. Swallow
Barn is a No Smoking building.
Alison and Adrian, Caroline and Bryan have been running hotels for many
years, in Somerset and Bournemouth. Alison is a trained chef, and has
worked in the catering industry since she left school. We all hold food
hygiene certificates.
The farmhouse breakfast is served in the country dining room, downstairs.
On the dresser, for you to help yourself, will be a selection of popular
breakfast cereals, grapefruit segments, prunes and orange juice. We will
serve you with your hot drink selection, which may be tea, coffee, hot
chocolate, decaffeinated tea and coffee or herbal teas.
The cooked breakfast can be any combination of the traditional English
breakfast. We have our sausages made, from our own pork. The bacon
is cured and sliced on
the farm. The eggs come from our own free-range hens or ducks, and can be fried
poached or
scrambled, the choice is yours. The tomatoes come from our greenhouse,
when in
season; the bread is home made, as is the jam and marmalade, for your
toast.
Alternatively, we do offer kippers, if ordered the night before.
We will be happy to cater for special diets, if we have advance notice.
We offer packed lunches, if ordered the night before, at an extra
charge (If we have suitable items available).
There is a storage area available for surfboards and bicycles.
Dogs are welcome on the farm, but they cannot stay in the B&B.
We will provide a stable to sleep in if they would be happy to use it.
They must be kept on a lead, and cleaned up after, at all times.
