About this property
Tucked away on a quaint farm amidst Northumberland's beautiful countryside, near Allendale is this stone-built, single-storey cottage of Swallows Rest. Offering two couples or a family of four tastefully decorated open-plan accommodation, whilst being within easy reach of a wealth of sights within the North Pennines AONB; Swallows Rest makes for a fantastic base, all year-round! You will be welcomed by ample off-road parking on arrival, so you can easily move your luggage into your new home-from-home. When inside, venture over to the sitting area, kick back and relax on the plush sofa whilst you curl up with a book or watch a show on the FreeSat TV.
When you're feeling peckish, move across the space to the corner kitchen, a space that has been amply-equipped with all the appliances needed to fix up tasty meals, including an electric cooker and a handy dishwasher. Tuck into a meal with the rest of the group at the adjacent dining table; why not pop open a bottle of bubbly, you're on holiday after all? When day turns to dusk, enjoy a well-earned rest in one of the two thoughtfully laid-out bedrooms, both of which are zip/link beds to suit your sleeping plans; the first of these rooms is a super-king-size which enjoys access to a fabulous en-suite bathroom, and the latter room is a king-size which is adjoined by an en-suite shower room.
In the warmer months, be sure to soak up the sun's rays and those delightsome views out on the private patio. A relaxing stay for all the family awaits at Swallows Rest. Note: This property can be booked with Ref. 961986, together sleeping up to six guests.
