Heaven.
Sublime.
A sweet interlude.

Marcia and Ray have created a space we can only dream of. This beautiful cabin, apart from being incredibly well stocked with kitchen utensils, is beautifully decorated with Marcia's stunning glasswork. There are also other pieces created by other artists.

The log burner creates even more ambience when lit (plentiful fuel just outdoors). My bones and muscles felt like liquid while I stretched out on the cosy loveseat and meditated on glowing embers.

I slept downstairs on a very comfy bed and lovely pillows (hard to get pillows right - these were). My mum slept upstairs in the loft - just a little closer to the stars. She was thrilled with the comfort of her bed and surroundings.

That is just the inside. I spent the evening watching the rays burning during sunset through billowing clouds. I had company in Fleur, resident dog, who sat with me and made sure I was content (and indeed I was). Fleur is magic - a very empathic dog - you can't help but be delighted with her.

And the awe continues. Take a 40 minute walk through fairytale forests and moss carpeted trails and you will reach Coon Bay. Share space with harbour seals and oystercatchers. Marvel at the ocean carved sandstone.

The Cabin at Swallow's Keep is easily the most beautiful and memorable holiday home I have ever visited. I feel so fortunate to have stumbled on such a delight.

And the icing, indeed there is more, Marcia and Ray are a delightful couple who will not rest until you are happy. They welcomed our questions and were very helpful with navigating us to the trails on their land.

Two nights were not enough. I will stay a week for my next visit.

Lucky you if you get to visit this incredible home.

P.s Fabulous bathroom too :)
