This was our second visit to Swallow Cottage. It is an amazing place, the cottage has all you need for a peaceful holiday. Our dog Bear loves the enclosed garden. Owners Darren and Louise are amazing couple, nothing is to much for them. We have booked recently for a week 1st March impulse booking, we also have another week in August. We highly recommend Swallow Cottage.

Lovely cottage & hosts.. I felt very safe with the covid situation. Good walks locally. Lots of extras provided in kitchen & bathroom. Biscuits & cake also. Louise changed the heating for me twice. Very comfy large bed and small sofa. She cooked me a breakfast & brought it over. Good tv & wi fi reception. Cupboard space in kitchen was limited so I used the dishwasher as one. Toilet was high for my little legs. Dog didn't like the underfloor heating & was tempted to leap the wall after the limited traffic he also found he could push through the chicken wire at bottom of hedge. He is only just a year old, I had taken a horse training lead just incase. If he were older I think he would have been fine. I had a brilliant time & came away feeling completely refreshed.

Excellent use of space in cosy barn conversion.. Very good for two with dog friendly facilities. Well fenced garden and parking space. Helpful but non intrusive hosts. WiFi variable but not in great area for reception. TV signal intermittent.

Hi We had a lovely stay , Louise was really friendly and helpful in communicating our arrival details and offered her help if we required it during the stay.. Lovely accommodation and right on the doorstep of good places to visit - we took the dogs for a walk up at the Roaches which has fantastic views and we’d highly recommend.

This cottage is small but very comfortable.. The bed is very comfortable and the whole place was clean. There are fantastic views and a large secure garden for a dog. The owner very nice but not intrusive. Plenty of parking and in an excellent location. All in all a really great place to say.

Swallow Cottage is an absolutely beautiful place to rest up, recoup and explore the local areas.. Absolutely wonderful place and Louise is a gem at looking after you and the cottage. Nothing to fault there at all. I know where I'll be if I am heading up to the Peak District area again! Thank you so much.

When we first walked in to the cottage, we thought it was a lot smaller than it looked in the pictures.. However, having settled in to it , we found it to be a very nice and comfortable cottage. Garden was great for our dogs. Owners not on top of you, but very nice and available if wanted. Maybe a bizarre comment, but the raised toilet was excellent for someone with dodgy knees. Probably the only "down" thing is the TV reception (limited channels) but lets face it, you don't go on holiday to watch the box. Will probably return some time.

Great cottage, location and hosts.. Had originally booked for seven nights, but arranged with the owners to arrive one day early and because we enjoyed our stay so much extended stay for another two nights. We were familiar with the area and in spite of worse than terrible weather it did not detract from the enjoyment of our time there. We will be returning to the area and intend to stay at the very same cottage and perhapsdwe will be luckier with the weather!

This is a perfect little cottage for two and their dog.. We enjoyed our stay immensely and were made to feel very welcome. The cottage is equipped with everything you need for a great break and little touches like the welcome pack made it that much better. The underfloor heating was excellent and the enclosed garden was perfect for our dog. We would definitely come back.

Swallow Cottage is the perfect little base for getaway.. Cosy yet practical, with a beautifully stocked kitchen (a corkscrew! Wine glasses! Decent saucepans! Sharp kitchen knives!!), a roomy and comfortable bedroom, and a lovely bathroom it has everything you need. The garden is nice and secure for dogs, so we were able to let our staffie run around and enjoy herself. Hosts Darren and Louise are lovely and made us feel so welcome, but weren't at all intrusive. We had a perfect break away from the city here in such beautiful surroundings - in fact, we got engaged! We will definitely be back.

Mrs Lowe

Louise and Darren were very helpful, very welcoming and took care of the little things that make a holiday special, like the toiletries & things in the kitchen that you mostly have to buy yourself.. The biscuits and the milk were very much appreciated as well. We loved the cottage and would definitely return. Lionel & Debbie

We really enjoyed staying in this clean,cosy, well equipped cottage.We liked the dark stone floor tiles with underfloor heating ,the white walls with nice artwork and a modern clock hanging on them,,the wooden doors and beams .The huge white bath was lovely.The wifi ,tv and radio were all useful. The friendly owners lived nearby should one need help.

Very well equipped and immaculately clean.. Underfloor heating was a bonus. Owner of property lives on site but was unobtrusive. Well recommended.
