Swallows Reviews

Wendy

The cottage is perfect for what we need , the swimming pool & games room is great for entertaining all ages! We will definitely be booking again fir next year.

Neil

needs updating in general, snooker cues bent, tennis court not usable needs serious tidy up, cottage very dated internally, beds all small doubles, too small for two adults, each garden needs securing as dogs can wonder into others garden areas which is not ideal if young kids in another garden, had to put 3 chairs in communal garden as large straight drop which is dangerous for kids if they went near that area, could sit outside due to infestation of wasps which could easily be sorted if sone wasp prevention devices installed and no outdoor lighting so canâ??t sit outside after dark.

Peter

Great location and grounds lots of facilities available especially the swimming pool everyone age 60 -1 years old loved it. We were lucky to have great weather so we're able to spend a lot of time outside including meal times. The cottage would not have been spacious enough for 12 of us if the weather had been inclement. The dining table could not have comfortably seated all of us at once. Our bedroom was very small and we both banged our legs on the bedframe numerous times in the first couple of days.The outside space is not advertised as been enclosed but the patio area could easily be made so to create a safe space for dogs. All things considered this is a great base to explore a stunning area and provides more onsite leisure facilities than most other cottages.

Helen

We really enjoyed our stay. Fantastic location and lovely accommodation. We loved the pool and made good use of it. Hopefully we can return to see how your woodland grows. We loved all the paths, great for walking our dogs. We were blessed to see a deer with her offspring...wonderful!

Neil

Nice cottage for a family get together with a down stairs bedroom which was a must for us. Tap water is not the best to drink so I would take bottled water to drink next time.

Lisa

We were a group of 12 (3 families) staying in the Swallows. Was great for the weekend the swimming pool was great and very clean. Games room was also very good, timetable worked out very well for us. The house was clean and comfortable, the kitchen was fairly new and stocked with most of what you'd need and even had a lovely new fridge and a small freezer. Beds were comfy and bathrooms clean.

Bryan

Great location and facilities let down by some aspects of cleanliness and general heavy wear and tare on swallows cottage

Wendy

Cottage was very nice & we would definitely stay again

Barbara

Pool and games room excellent. The swallows needs a lot of renovation, not very comfortable beds or pillows.

Michelle

Everything was amazing, the location was stunning, so much wildlife on the grounds. Beautiful drive to the nearest towns Settle and Clitheroe. Everything we needed was provided at the property. . Will definitely visit again in the near future

Chantelle

The cottage is beautiful and we had a really lovely time so thank-you so much. Only issues we had was: Leaking shower- wasnâ??t an issue as there was two other showers in the property. The owners was very quick to respond to concerns about this. Pool table light taking money from us a few times without working. Dogs need to be kept on a lead- it would have been great to have an enclosed space for them to roam on the private patio.

Jane

Swallows is looking a little tired but the outside area has recently been improved with new patio and garden furniture. The swimming pool is a fantastic commodity and the timetable for itâ??s use is very well organised. Beautiful setting and lovely to enjoy the peace and quiet. We had a lovely family gathering for a significant birthday.

Neil

We had a lovely weekend (party of 11) in The Swallows as part of our Mum's 80th Birthday celebrations. The property was clean and comfortable. The pool and games room are great assets and we used all of our allocated slots. It was great having slots so you didn't have to worry about battling with other guests when using the facilities. The setting was fantastic and we enjoyed some walks. We also used the tennis court and football pitch. There was adequate parking for our 4 cars. The outdoor seating was excellent catering for 12 guests and we even had to use both parasols it was so hot. We were very lucky with the weather even though it was July! We have already recommended the property to others and we will definitely be returning at some point.

Susan

We were a party of 8 adults who meet up every year in different parts of the country. Swallows is set in a beautiful location and we really enjoyed using the leisure facilities and exploring the local area. The cottage is tired and would benefit from an upgrade. The hosts dealt quickly with some minor issues but it was disappointing that we had to check out by 9.30 so we couldnâ??t enjoy our final morning together. The cottage didnâ??t supply anything except toilet rolls (1 per bathroom), a few dishwasher tablets and some washing up liquid. This was the first cottage we have ever stayed with no basic supplies.

Annetta

We had a wonderful week. The swimming pool, games room and football pitch were so great for the kids that they said they never even missed their play stations! . Lovely walks on your doorstep. Lovely to spend summer evenings out on the patio.

Sue

The cottage and its contents are rather tired but the location is great. The biggest assets are the swimming pool, games rooms and football field. The tennis court is a little tired. Whatever the weather there was so much to keep everyone occupied.

Tim

We had a lovely weekend at Swallows Cottage. The cottage had everything we needed for our stay as a family of 10. It was lovely and clean and we loved the outdoor space. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend to friends.

Gill

An enjoyable stay. Ideal for large families, with use of the pool and games room. It would have been ideal if there was a pub within walkable distance, but it was a 10 minute drive.

Ann

Fabulous cottage

Lindy

We had a fabulous weekend here with 4 generations celebrating my mums 90th birthday. Surroundings are brill for kids and the pool, games room, football field and tennis court were a real bonus to entertain whole family. I highly recommend Swallows as a great place to stay

Andrew

Great for large group break. Well equipped. Lovely pool and games room. Grandkids loved it.

Margaret

The cottage is in a lovely setting and very quiet and peaceful. The added entertainment on the small complex was an added bonus. The dining table was sufficient for all 12 adults to dine at one sitting which was important to our party. We all enjoyed our stay.

Verna

Large, comfortable property with great facilities for all the family. The swimming pool was perfect for a relaxing swim and grounds great for children and dogs to play/walk outside.

Louise

Plenty of space and outdoor furniture. Children enjoyed pool and games room, tennis court needs attention

Paula
