Beds were great.Lovely to have the hot tub and use of pool.Loads to explore in the area.We did think that for a luxury cottage that the kitchen, although clean, was worn and tired.

We had a lovely stay at The Swallows. The cottage was very clean and comfortable with everything we needed. The pool slot was very easy to book and the pool was lovely and warm and a good size. Would say they need a baby changing table as that was only thing missing. After our swim we would have a lovely hot tub which was checked daily by the staff. The beds were very comfortable and we all slept well. It was the perfect stay for 4 adults a baby and 2 dogs. They also left a lovely welcome pack which was a very nice touch. Thank you will come again.

This location was lovely, the property was extremely clean with all that we needed. It could have just done with some basics for cooking e.g. salt and pepper. The hot tub was lovely and the swimming pool was so well kept it was lovely to use. It may be an option for guests to have the opportunity to pre book a slot in the swimming pool before they come to the property as times were limited. But overall we were extremely happy with our stay and would definitely come again.
