We had such a wonderful stay at Swallows Barn. Perfect accommodation in such a beautiful setting, we could not have asked for more. The hosts, Cynthia and Chris, were very friendly and welcoming; we loved our stay and all that it had to offer. The goats and the hosts’ dogs were an added bonus! Thank you 😊 We would recommend Swallows Barn wholeheartedly.
