About the host

Hosted by Mr and Mrs Robson

Host profile image
Hi, I'm Sheila. This lovely cottage has been in our family for nearly five decades. Over the years we've restored it, keeping as much of its historic character as possible, but adding in more modern features for comfort and convenience.
This was our family home for many years, our children grew up in it and loved it, then it became more of a weekend retreat. Now the children have grown up and moved away, and sometimes bring their own children. But we can't spend as much time as we'd really like to in the cottage ourselves. But my younger daughter said - you can't sell it, we've too much emotional investment in the cottage! So for the last 20 years we've been letting it for holiday lets, so other people could enjoy it too. We have a local person to look after it for us. Many of our guests come back several times, and some want to stay for a long time.

Why they chose this property

Well, we've said it all really. When we arrive after not being there for a while, a wonderful feeling of peace and calm comes over us, we can forget about the cares of the world. And reading through our visitors' book, it's clear that many of our guests experience that too. It's a real 220+ year old cottage, with lots of charm, and roses and camellias around the door. You will be woken up not by the noise of traffic, but by the birds, or by the gentle lowing of cows in the nearby field. On summer Sundays, bell-ringers from other places often come to ring the church bells. But we've got broadband, the local towns are bustling, and there are so many attractions around that you'll never get bored.

What makes this property unique

We have so many repeat visitors. Our guest book says it best, and many promise a return visit. Here's a small sample of quotes: A lovely comfortable home from home; What a beautiful cottage in such marvellous surroundings! Very charming cottage - the atmosphere is so peaceful, like stepping back in time to a dreamy romantic period; Great thought and care has gone into making guests' stay as smooth as possible; The surroundings were beautiful and Swerford is so picturesque; The garden is lovely - it's a real treat to look out the window and see the roses; This cottage is so special, we have had a wonderful time coming back here after our wee trips, it's just continues to amaze us.
