We had a lovely 4 night stay at this beautiful cottage, it has everything you need and more in it. Maggie and Eric were perfect hosts. Nice bottle of Prosecco chilling when we got there. I would highly recommend Swallows Nest. We have already booked again to stay for a week next June. Helen, Pete and Arlo

My mum and I had the most fantastic stay at Swallows Nest. In the most beautiful setting, and a gorgeous base for 4 nights. The beds and sofas were so comfortable and we felt relaxed as soon as we arrived. Everything we needed was there and Maggie & Eric were the perfect hosts. They absolutely went out of their way to help when I experienced issues with my car which was very stressful. Would have no hesitation in recommending a stay here!
