This cottage is beautiful, clean, comfortable and very cosy, it's in a great location for the area, lots of interesting place to visit in a short drive away. Another great thing is your car is secure at night as the gates are locked but you have a key to get in and out. Would definitely recommend a stay here.

Cosy and comfortable stay - the underfloor heating was playing up, but owners had provided extra heaters, and Swallows Rise is a warm building anyway, so we were never cold. The log burner makes the whole place roasting and is very relaxing to watch while you enjoy the peace and quiet!!

We cannot fault Swallows Rise which is in a beautiful location with easy access to local amenities and a raft of places to visit including National Trust properties and the wonderful RSC. On each visit we have found the cottage to be spotlessly clean with every home comfort catered for.
