Swifts Return - Apartment with hot tub, sauna and indoor pool (Dartmoor)

the pool and sauna were amazing

it was lovely we wondered if the outside area/ garden was slightly neglected

Lovely and private. Beautiful grounds and excellent property. Had everything we could need. The customer service was notable. The guide we were given upon check in was extremely useful. Also the wood burning hot tub was fantastic

Lovely rural location and perfect for us with a wedding nearby. Hosts could not have done more for us, and Fresh Escapes provided us with an iron within 10mins of request! Use of hosts beautiful pool and sauna was fabulous. Very clean and comfortable. Nicest smelling bed sheets I have ever experienced on a holiday rental!

However, it is expensive for property and shower is incredibly lacking in power. This needs looking at, be it to increase pressure installing a power shower or sorting pressure out.

Brilliant facilities, lovely pool, sauna and hot tub. Beautiful and scenic area, away from busy roads. Comfy bed and nice TV. Despite the issues with check-in, it was a lovely stay and I highly recommend.

We didn't receive the PIN for the key or much information to arrive, so we waited around to receive it. Some of the stay guide was wrong based on the facilities, eg, how to operate the hot tub and no instructions on how to use the BBQ (which didn't work on attempt). The shower was very very weak and trickled and struggled to become hot. A floor light kept turning itself on and off. Parking was quite awkward and steep. Suspicious stain on the blanket on the bed.

This is our second visit to Swifts Return. As always cozy place to stay, peaceful and great for our Husky too. Love it so much that we will be returning in October to celebrate birthday again.

Unfortunately the hob was only half functioning with two bottom rings not working. Also the dishwasher kept tripping fuse. And sadly whoever was there before also never cleaned out the wood burner in hot tub so we had to do that before getting hot tub on.

Great location, and facilities including pool and sauna. Not too far off the B3193 and walking distance to Hennock and the Palk Arms pub, close to Exeter and the coastline.

It is a fantastic location in the middle of nowhere. Peaceful and green. Hot tub was really cool as it was a wood burning one. Enclosed small garden where we could allow our dog off leash, which is a bonus. The bed was incredibly comfortable. Fully equipped kitchen. Plenty of space. Beautiful swimming pool and sauna on top of that. Would certainly be recommending this to others and will be visiting again.

There is nothing we did not like, but two things were missing, and we think that could have made this even better stay. 1. Umbrella or other covering in the garden over the table for when it's raining. 2. A few more dishwasher tablets (we had only one and to buy more we would have to buy a whole box but we dont have one at home to use others so would be a waste) and a few small bottles of shower supplies like they do in hotels just in case guests forgotten something (we were all right but as the location is so remote it would be sad to have to drive to somewhere if you forget shampoo)
