Accommodation

Swallows Rest offers luxury self-catering accommodation in a traditional farmhouse, featuring five bedrooms and six bathrooms. The Loft Apartment provides exceptional views of floodlit gardens and a lake with a light-changing fountain, ideal for relaxation. Each bedroom comes with high-quality Egyptian cotton bedding and towels, ensuring a comfortable stay.

Dining

Local ingredients are emphasized in the breakfast offerings, with homemade granola, jams, and traditional dry-cured bacon sourced from local butchers. The daily afternoon tea features homemade cakes and delightful treats, providing guests with a taste of local flavors. Guests enjoy farm-fresh chicken and duck eggs for breakfast, promoting the farm-to-table experience.

Location

Swallows Rest is located in Weymouth, less than two miles from the town center and its sandy beach. The hotel is 300 meters from the South West Coast Path, offering easy access to breathtaking views and coastal walks along the Jurassic Coast. Close proximity to attractions like the Weymouth Sealife and Marine Sanctuary enhances the guest experience.

Family-Friendly Features

Children will enjoy the company of the resident animals, including four pygmy goats and Georgina the pet pig. The property allows for family-friendly activities, such as strolling through the gardens and meeting the animals. Outdoor spaces provide room for games and exploration, making it a fun environment for younger guests.

Unique Experiences

Guests can participate in the Alpaca Experience, which includes afternoon tea in the presence of friendly alpacas at the summer house for £35 per person. Gift vouchers for unique experiences are also available, supporting local craftsmanship with items made from alpaca wool. Daily interactions with farm animals offer an engaging way to connect with nature.

“The farmhouse accommodation impresses with its access to the Jurassic Coast, proximity to the South West Coastal Path, and gardens alive with animals; it's a place for families who love animals. I especially note the farm's 35 acres and the availability of fresh eggs and honey, showing a commitment to local produce; a taxi to Weymouth costs between £7 and £9. It stands out as an ideal spot for those seeking a blend of rural charm and coastal exploration.”
