We very much enjoyed our stay at Swallow Cottage. Owner Jacqueline was very helpful and is undertaking a schedule of work to make it even better. The open plan living/dining/kitchen area is surprisingly spacious, has plenty of light and a good view. The bathroom is small, but has everything needed unless you prefer a bath, and benefits from under floor heating. The bed is very large and comfortable. No wardrobe but his 'n her hanging rails do the job. Highly recommended.

The swallows nest was absolutely beautiful. Super accommodating with everything you could need. The location and views are incredible, a 1 minute walk from the perfect little pub/restaurant and a further 5-10min walk to the centre of the village.
