"I literally cant rate this place highly enough."
Everything we needed was there, everything was clean and tidy too.
The welcome tray was a lovely touch and the hot tub, oh my goodness the hot tub was maaaarrrvellous.
Paul knocked the door to introduce himself and answer any questions we may have had on the first evening but that was the last we saw of him. We could contact him should we have needed him but never did. It was quiet, peaceful and utterly wonderful. In the words of the poet and wise man Arnold Schwarzenegger, 'I'll be back'

Great host on a working farm. Never felt so relaxed on a holiday. Will definitely stay here again.
I asked Paul (owner), if he has a fan we could borrow as it was 30 degrees on arrival. He went out his way to buy one there and then which was above and beyond!!
Hot tub was incredible, I want one now lol.
Only recommendation is to bring a mattress topper as the mattress is very firm (or was for us anyways).

Paul came round and introduced himself and he was very easy to talk to and very friendly, he showed us some walking routes too! The hot tub was a added bonus and was so relaxing looking out over the fields, not one building in site just trees and wildlife. We spent both evenings out on the back in the hot tub and a few drinks. We didn't really see anyone only a few locals when waking it was so peaceful.

We stayed from Friday to Monday in February, the weather was very kind to us so we enjoyed the many walks practically on the doorstep, we visited Scarborough and Dalby Forest.

Some aspects of the cottage might benefit from a little tlc. For example the lid of the hot tub does not have a framework so is very difficult to take off and put back on. Also not all of the jets were working properly at first as one of the control valves appeared to be stuck although we did get it free. Suggest the tub is checked each week. Also there were lots of cobwebs in the lounge and bedroom. We appreciate that there will be some activity at this time of year but once we had got rid of what we could see, they didn't come back. The kitchen was well equipped unless you wanted to cook a 3 course dinner.

"Everything was excellent-the only a couple of niggles we have was there we missed an arm chair as my partner had to sit on a dining chair due to the settee been low and soft as my partner suffers with back problems."
Also finding the cottage with the post code took us to the farm further down the road-this is quite stressful after a journey with a dog. Needs to have a sign on the gate or something noticable for future guests.
Overall we had an excellent and relaxing time-great cottage and countryside for dog walks-the paddock is ideal for walking the dog early morning or late at night. Facilities are good and the bed comfortable.

Set on a very quiet road with easy safe parking. Small but well secured garden for our dog. Very grateful for the treats left by the owner the dog treats were especially welcome! The hot tub was lovely & large and great for relaxing in after a day out and great for stargazing! The kitchen had everything we needed and was spotless. Comfy leather sofa. The cottage was always warm and the heating was easy to alter. The cottage was ample for 2 and well laid out. The shower room was really nice & had a fab shower. Our only minor negatives were it could do with somewhere to put shampoo and shower gel whilst in the shower also a small clothes airer to hang wet cozzie/trunks to dry inside the cubicle if it was raining. No hairdryer (but not sure if missing due to Covid rules) A full length mirror and small coffee table would be a nice addition. We prefer a memory foam mattress so did find the bed a bit 'springy'. Overall a lovely holiday cottage, in a pretty and quiet area at a great price would definitely recommend.

"The photographs do not do the cottage justice."
It’s a beautifully presented, well thought out haven. Everything was spotlessly clean and the attention to detail (including dog treats) was fantastic. Great location.

"We had a lovely stay at the Swallows Nest."
Very warm and friendly welcome and all facilities were perfectly clean and everything was easy to find. We particularly enjoyed long walks on the footpaths around the house and using the jacuzzi. Lots of lovely places to visit near by. Exactly what we needed and we would both stay again.
Many thanks to Paul and Wendy.

"We really loved our holiday."
Picky feedback would be - plz fix toilet seat and provide more loo roll, we would also welcome a blind on the front door for toing and froing from the shower.
Nothing spoilt this trip though. Lovely place, Lovely host, immaculate cottage it really was. Thank you for our stay in a little haven. We really appreciated the goodies and also how quiet it was, host was there if we needed but not in your face. Cheers Paul.
