“AS WE ALWAYS TRAVEL IN THE UK WITH OUR DOGS, ITS IMPORTANT THAT WE ARE COMFORTABLE WITH THE LAYOUT AT THE COTTAGE AND THE IMMEDIATE VICINITY SO THAT WE CAN REALLY ENJOY BEING THERE.”

THIS COTTAGE AND THE OWNERS ARE VERY DOG FRIENDLY AND WE COULD WALK FROM THE DOOR ONTO ENORMOUS FIELDS AND ALSO ALLOW THE DOGS ONTO THE FURNITURE IN THE LOUNGE AS THEY WERE COVERED SPECIFICALLY FOR THAT REASON. WE TAKE OUR OWN THROWS BECAUSE OUR DOGS ARE USED TO BEING ALLOWED ON THE COUCHES AT HOME BUT THE OWNERS EXPECTED THIS AND PUT THEIR OWN COVERS ON AS WELL, SO THEY WERE DOUBLY PROTECTED. ITS A SMALL THING WHICH MADE US FEEL COMPLETELY RELAXED ABOUT BEING IN SOMEONE ELSES COTTAGE BEDS WERE EXTREMELY COMFORTABLE AND THE HEATING UP TO SCRATCH AND EVERYTHING IN THE KITCHEN PROVIDED SO WE HAD A VERY ENJOYABLE WEEK. THIS IS THE ONLY COTTAGE WE HAVE EVER BEEN TO WHICH HAD HOTEL STANDARD TOWELS, SHAMPOO AND SHOWER GEL PROVIDED, AND MINTS ON THE PILLOWS. WHAT'S NOT TO LIKE !

“The cottage is a very comfortable, stylish single storey property near to Allendale and there are many lovely places to visit.”

If you are a keen walker the place is ideal. Hexham is the nearest town and very quirky, lovely old buildings, lots of good places to eat. We eat one evening at The Crown at Catton the food was excellent. We had a great time.

“The cottage was lovely and clean and the owners very kind, but the seating arrangements were awful.”

The corner unit settee was so,low my husband and I had difficulty getting up, I think the foam was worn out in the cushions the chairs on the table were so uncomfortable it was like sitting on a piece of wood.. I do not classthis crypttafe as luxury. You can purchase a decent sete from a charity shop which must be better than this, it in fact spoilt our holiday as we had nowhere which was comfortable to sit.

“A great place to stay!”

We had a lovely mini break here, a well kitted out cottage with nice views and the owners were wonderful.

“Superb stay at this stunning cottage”

We stayed at the Swallow Cottage in June and can't recommend it highly enough. Stunning location and beautiful views. Ideally located to visit Hexham, Hadrians Wall, Kiedler and surrounding areas. We even did the star gazing at Kiedler which was amazing. Barry and Elaine are amazing hosts and attentive, ensuring our stay was comfortable (including home made scones on arrival)

“This cottage was fantastic.”

It was clean, comfortable and has some fantastic surroundings. Very child and pet friendly. The owners were friendly and very happy to help when you need them. It’s a very quiet and peaceful location and it’s off the road to so it’s secure. It had everything we need and more. Very happy with everything.
Mrs Blaney June 2018

“The cottage was great.”

It was beautifully fitted out with so many lovely little extra touches. We were welcomed with tea and scones.. We had a lovely time and would not hesitate to recommend Swallows Rest to others
Mrs Cadge April 2018

“We had a lovely stay at Swallows Rest with our children and dogs.”

We loved exploring the lovely countryside around the cottage. The cottage itself was cosy and clean and we had such a warm welcome from Barry and Elaine. Lots of wonderful, well thought through details such as baked goodies upon arrival, a drying room and some supplies in the fridge. We would definitely recommend the cottage to family and friends who come to visit.

“Wonderful welcome.”

First time I have ever been welcomed by the owner bearing scones! A tea tray was set out ready with milk, jam and butter in the fridge and with flowers on the table and the heating on it was a lovely welcome. The farm and cottage was set in a stunning location with plenty of wildlife. The cottage itself was very roomy and the beds were amazingly comfortable. Everything you needed was there including walking books and information on the area. Plenty of places to visit in the area and Allendale itself is a lovely little town with a co-op for self catering and we were able to take our dog in both the pubs we tried for an evening meal. We will definitely go again.

Owners very helpful. Great spot with beautiful views.
Mrs Veitch March 2018

“We had a fantastic welcome; flowers on the table, tea tray ready, milk and butter in the fridge then Barry turning up with a plate of scones!”

The cottage was very attractive and from utensils to local information including walking books it was extremely well equipped. The beds were very comfortable and everything was clean and attractive, hotel standard even down to toiletries and chocolates on the pillows. The scenery is stunning, there is plenty to see and do and the local pubs do excellent food.
