Perfect get away with the perfect host.

We have had the best stay in Swallow Cottage. It was beautifully decorated and immaculately clean, you can see how much love and attention to detail has gone into it. Gail is the lovliest host and puts in special touches for her guests, we had snacks plus i mentioned our stay was for my husbands birthday and there was a balloon and prosecco waiting. Not to mention every other detail Gail has though about, you could literally turn up with clothes and food everything else was catered for. The photos dont do the rooms justice, much bigger than anticipated and the high ceilings give it a lovely airy feeling. The cottage is blissfully quiet apart from the odd braying from tge neighbours donkeys! We'll definitely we back to stay again. Thank you Gail for a perfect stay.

Gail was the prefect host. Communication was brilliant from start to finish. The cottage is fully equipped for anything you could want. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this property. Would definitely return if back in the area. Fantastic paddock area for our dogs. Completely safe and well kept.

A little piece of heaven.

We were attending a family function nearby. We found the cottage easily and check in details sent well in advance. The cottage was immaculate and so very comfortable. A lovely gift hamper awaited us. We also met the proprietor who was both helpful & delightful. We hope to return.

A True Hidden Gem!

Amazing, last minute stay. We booked a 2 night weekend stay (last minute). From the moment of booking, Gail was attentive, helpful, friendly and immediately put us at ease. Excellent directions were given, and upon arrival we were very pleasantly surprised. We bagged a real bargain and everything was perfect with the cottage from start to finish. We used this cottage as a base to get to York (one of the busiest weekends due to Christmas Market), and although a little further out - the weekend was great. Thanks again to Gail and her team. A+++++ We'll be back!!

The epitome of a cosy cottage

Honestly one of the best places I’ve stayed in. We wanted a simple cottage that accommodates a dog & was quiet and relaxing. Swallow Cottage is unbelievable! The cottage itself is so warm & cosy, the hospitality was incredible & there’s even a dog paddock section at the rear for the dog to run around in. The host is absolutely lovely & you can tell a lot of care & attention has gone into this cottage. The location of the cottage is roughly 20 mins from Harrogate & 20 mins from Knaresborough. It’s a lovely part of the world and this property belongs there. If you want a break from the hustle & bustle of life, but still want to be able to have day trips to nearby cities then this is absolutely the place for you. Cannot recommend it enough!

The Perfect Retreat

The cottage was beautiful, cosy, well furnished, with many special touches. Gail, our hostess was charming and very helpful. She has definitely provided everything one could need for a pleasant stay, including spare toiletries and some food stuff in case we had forgotten basic products. And everything was good quality. We have stayed in 4 and 5 star aparthotels before, where the provisions were not as thoughtfully put together. The location is very quiet and peaceful. Perfect!! We would stay there again.
