Better than expected
Very bright and spacey. Any advertising "errors" worked in the host's favour, e.g. wifi speed of 25 is actually more than 200. Excellent value for money. I'm not sure we'll be in the area again but if so will not look for anything else. Jeannie super responsive on the rare occasions we had questions.

Every Weather Imaginable
Weather threw everything (rain, snow - yes, and sunshine) at us but we were snug. The lanes to Swallows Rest are pretty mucky (and potholed - but then where aren't they?) at this time of year but take things slowly and you'll be OK! All in all a quiet (apart from the cows mooing - but we are on a farm!) spot with a nice big field for our little dog to run in. Highly recommended.

About the host

Hosted by Jeannie Bennett

Host profile image
Brian and Jeannie run the farm and holiday let. Brian has been farming all his life and moved to Horsley as a child and to our current farm in the late 1970s. He originally had a milking herd, but is now semi-retired and runs a small beef herd. Jeannie is also from the Stroud Valleys and enjoys the outdoor life, mainly looking after the smaller animals on the farm. She is a keen walker and previously worked with special needs students in a local secondary school.

Why they chose this property

We love our farm and the slower pace of life you can enjoy here. Swallows Rest is a tranquil and calm space and our aim is to enable you to enjoy your holiday without the trials and tribulations of a hectic life. We provide all the basics for housekeeping and tea, coffee and cake on arrival for you to instantly relax and chill out. We are happy for you to get involved in farm life and find out about farming or can leave you in peace, whichever suits you best during your stay.

What makes this property unique

Single level open plan living (2 steps down to twin bedroom). Working beef farm. Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
