"The Milking Parlour is a hidden gem that really cant be missed."
It was extremely clean and comfortable, with a lovely bathroom and bath and comfortable beds. Set in wonderful surroundings it is both in the country and very close to York, a short drive away is the park and ride, designer outlets, shops, and restaurants. I received a detailed text message on how to find it and where to park, and when I arrived a lovely touch was a pint of milk in the fridge and some biscuits on the side. I highly recommend this property to anyone visiting York and would love to return

"This is a lovely holiday home."
Very Clean and comfortable with everything you need available. The site is very quiet and within easy reach of York especially using the Park and Ride at the Designer Outlet just up the road which is very good value for money especially using our bus passes. The Hole in the Wall pub in High Petergate York, serves lovely food and good value for money with a good Sunday Roast. Wheldrake woods attached to the golf course makes a good walk. If coming back to York we would always stay here again if possible.

The pictures of the cottage doesn’t give it credit it’s bright spacious and very clean. The only thing for me personally was the bed a standard bed a little too small for me but as I said that’s my thing my wife slept like a log so one out of two isn’t bad.
We had a Sunday lunch at the club house, home made and very enjoyable.

The view from the living room window looks out to the golf course and was very peaceful, no one disturbed you at all it was like a little piece of heaven.
Swallow Hall itself is close by to everything yet seems like a hundred miles away in the country

Also tennis court if you feel energetic. We would recommend this cottage.
