4 night stay, 2 adults plus a dog, we found the accommodation very spacious, very well equipped, clean and comfortable.The covered porch and utility area was perfect for dirty shoes, drying coats/boots etc.Having the adjacent grass field proved perfect for the dog.Located just a 10/15 minute walk from the town centre, it is a steep walk back up the hill.Plenty of footpaths and lanes to explore, the village of Horsley has the Hog pub, which was nice to visit and only 15 minutes walk away.Would highly recommended staying here if walking and exploring the countryside is your thing.

We had the best week at Swallows Rest. Everything is so well thought through — there are so many small details that make the whole stay feel comfortable, right down to things you don't even realise you needed until you're there. The property was exceptionally clean throughout, and the welcome essentials were a lovely touch that made settling in so easy.The host couldn't have been more accommodating, going above and beyond to make sure we had everything we needed. We'd recommend Swallows Rest in a heartbeat and would love to come back.

Spotlessly clean, extremely well furnished and equipped. The property offers a fenced area to the front for parking but with sufficient space for children to play safely and there are beautiful views to enjoy very close to the property.The property enjoys the benefit of under floor heating which can be augmented with an impressive wood burner in the sitting room area.Strongly reccomended.

Comfortable, rather minimalist, 'barn' conversion, with safe outside space which contained our adventurous dog. Warm, well kitted out, and a good place for two friends on a winter long weekend.
