The Swallows Rest Bed & Breakfast

Very happy experience Really lovely host! Would come again

This was the third time I have stayed at Swallows Nest, travelling for work. It's a gem of a place, convenient for travel, very clean, quiet, a great breakfast and Sam as a host cannot do enough, including booking a restaurant! I wouldn't mark it detrimentally, but having to travel 10-15 minutes for dinner after a long day wasn't ideal, it would be beneficial if there was a place within walking distance for an evening meal. Overall the B&B itself is excellent.

As a fan of cookies, I total applaud the two fresh, warm, gooey home made ones we received each day. Five stars, right there. But that's not all. The bed was very comfortable, and with the lights off, the room was dark and quiet: the three main requirements for sleeping. The room temperature was comfortable, and the room was spotlessly clean. Décor was very 'English Homes', tastefully understated. The owner, Sam, was lovely, and happy to provide information on the area. Breakfast was excellent, with options I've not seen before, like overnight oats. Criticisms? Very minor. Parking space is sufficient, but not more. The shower floor is quite slippery. (Bath mat available.) I've stayed around the area for many years, and Swallows never came up, apparently because it's so popular. That's a review in itself.

Friendly host and a very restful stay in a lovely B & B located in an idyllic picture postcard village. A very comfortable nights sleep in an elegant and tastefully decorated room with sumptuous en-suite. This all represented extremely good value for money.

A fantastic stay from start to finish. My father and I enjoyed three nights here in March '25. The room was spacious and very clean, as was the en-suite. Amazing breakfast with a large selection to choose from. Sam, the owner was a delight and cared for us throughout our stay. I would highly recommend the 'Swallows Rest' whether for an overnight stay, or even better if you get the chance to stay for longer. You won't be disappointed.

From the moment of arrival the stay at Swallows Rest was fantastic. A warm greeting by Sam, the host, explaining how things work at the property is a wonderful start. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. The standard of furnishing is really very good and the shower is powerful and not just a trickle. Breakfast was a great start to the next day.
