We had a super week in October at Swallows Cottage. Christine was an great host, and had provided everything we could possibly want in the cottage on a week's stay. The cottage had a such a homely feel and what made it all the more special was the lovely garden and especially the field that our dog could run around in.A great base to explore the Derbyshire dales from.
