Very relaxing, great place to stay!

Our stay at Swifts Retreat was great, upon arriving we immediately felt we could relax, the setting for the retreat is beautiful being on a working farm. Sitting in the hot tub in the evenings watching all the birds was a real treat.

Mini Staycation

We recently had a fantastic short stay at Swifts Retreat, this barn conversion was in a great location and well equipped, feeling like a home from home. We enjoyed a relaxing break, the hot tub was warm on arrival and its located only a short drive to Stratford upon Avon and other local facilities. We would highly recommend as a quiet rural break and would certainly stay here again.

Lovely cottage

Excellent stay, lots of nice touches including a Christmas tree, robes and flip flops for hot tub. Kitchen well provisioned. Nice setting and walking distance to Bidford amenities. Worked well as extended family hired Siskin barn. Sofa was comfy but a bit low to the ground!

Perfect getaway

Swifts Retreat was the perfect place to have a few days getaway. Very clean and a very high standard of accommodation. Situated in an ideal location for the Cotswolds and Stratford-on-Avon, beautiful canal walks and quaint villages nearby. Hot tub was an added treat. Thank you for making our stay just perfect.

Relaxing confortable stay

Ended up staying here alone as my friend couldn't make it with late notice. I felt very safe in the property and it is so comfortable. Location is good and you can walk into Bidford so using a car when there not essential. The hot tub was such a nice treat, I spent a lot of time in it! It is such a lovely well thought out property, there were only minor niggles and to be honest Id be really clutching at straws to even bother listing them. I will be returning, thinking I might make it an annual treat to myself to have a weekend alone here! My only feedback would be that it would be useful if the courtyard was lit better at night, I arrived at 10pm and on my own and it was really hard to figure out which door and which direction I needed to head in! Luckily another lady staying in the adjacent property helped me with a torch so I could see where to go

Swifts Retreat

The house itself was lovely and had everything we needed for our stay. On a slight downside the view from the back garden overlooking the farm wasn't particularly appealing as it was a view of old rusting farm machinery and packing crates which i am sure wouldn't have taken much effort to move from the line of sight. Or alternatively make the fence same height as other side. Also a nice touch would have been a couple of sun loungers on the grassed area as laying on a towel isn't very comfortable. Also I am at a loss to understand the bi-fold doors in the bedroom which are never likely to be opened proper windows would have been better so they could be opened on a night as the bedroom could be quite hot and stuffy. Apart from those slight criticisms which could be easily rectified apart from the bedroom bi-fold doors we enjoyed our stay even if it was rather expensive.

Stunning place with maintenance issues

Although the bolthole was impressive when we first walked in, we soon became less than impressed with the state of the accommodation. The floor was dirty and gave us black feet, the blinds has been splashed with reddish brown stains and when the sofa when slightly moved, revealed shards of glass that had not been picked up. The boltholes must have had a quick spritz rather than a good clean between guests. Hopefully after my feedback, future guests benefit from a cleaner property. The hot tub was not cleaned as stated on the website, there was a layer of grime and muck on the sides of the hot tub and dust and residue at the bottom of the tub. The floor was filthy and we soon realised that our feet were blackened by dust. On closing the blinds at night time, we realised that the blinds were splattered and stained with food or drink. Some unknown substance that was not nice to look at when relaxing by the tele.

We couldn’t have asked for more at this property. It was quiet, scenic and the most perfect mini getaway. Can’t wait to book again in the future and have already told our family and friends all about it.

Relaxing stay

A beautiful location and perfect if you just want to relax in peace. We really enjoyed our stay but even for out of season it’s on the high end of prices. Other than one hot tub problem which was quickly fixed... Overall we had no issues with our stay. Thank you to all the team, we would love to come back

A lovely stay

Wow what a beautiful little property suitable for a relaxing getaway in beautiful surroundings. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend. The cleanliness was to a very high standard and it was equipped with all we needed, even down to the eco friendly products. There is just one little suggestion that we would make and that is to have some comfy garden furniture although the furniture there was pretty it was not comfy to relax on especially with the weather that we had been blessed with recently and most of the time we were outside. Also just a suggestion to have larger bins in the communal area to eliminate overflow that’s we experienced the day of vacating. Thank you for such a lovely stay. We would definitely come back again.

Perfect relaxing location

This place is a real retreat. Very quiet and secluded. Beautifully converted barn offering all mod cons in the kitchen. Very cosy and comfortable lounge. The bedroom is perfect with a lovely comfortable bed. The bathroom again was stunning with a large walk in shower. The garden was very secluded with a large hot tub which we enjoyed for both nights of our stay. There is nothing at all we were disappointed with. This is a 100% perfect stay in our view.

Good but could be better

The cottage itself is lovely - really beautifully decorated and perfectly located for easy access to the Cotswolds. However, there are things that really let us down - small things that would have made our stay a lot more comfortable like providing more than 1 roll of toilet paper (we stayed there for 5 days), some spices and oil for cooking. Another thing that was really disappointing was that for a whole day there was no hot water in the shower so we couldn't use the hot tub - when calling the owner to request someone to fix it she said she is aware of the issue and couldn't do anything about it (it would have been nice for her to call us or send us a text message to inform us about the issue in the first place). She said she would bring water bottles later in the day but that never happened. Also, the "private" garden where the hot tub is is not actually private. There is a very low fence that faces the road and farm so anyone driving or walking past can see you in the garden/hot tub so there is no real privacy. Overall, I don't think this cottage is good value for money as we've stayed in places that cost less and provide more.

Stunning

Our stay away was absolutely amazing. The property itself was so cosy and full of character. Hot tub was perfect in the super cold evenings and even better late afternoon when you could take in how peaceful and beautiful everything was. We had everything we could possibly need. The 10 minute walk into the village was perfect for a few glasses of bubbly in the evening!
