We had a wonderful, peaceful week in Swaledale, with Swallows Byre as a perfect base for walks and excursions. The cottage and its beautiful garden are delightful and well equipped - though the wi-fi is very, very slow, which might be problematic for some people. The phone signal is poor too. For us, however, this added to the truly restful nature of the place. There are lots of great walks in the vicinity, birds to watch, tea shops and pubs not far away. And the scenery is magnificent. We have been to the Dales several times and this was our best experience. Thank you, Dorothy.
