We just spent our second Christmas at Swallows Rest, and it was absolutely perfect. The cottage is cozy, spotless, and set in a beautiful part of the Cotswolds. It has everything you need for a relaxing festive break. We can't recommend it enough and will definitely be back!

Comfortable, rather minimalist, 'barn' conversion, with safe outside space which contained our adventurous dog. Warm, well kitted out, and a good place for two friends on a winter long weekend.

Such a nice property and so relaxing
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The property was exactly as described and the photos online do not do it justice, it is much better than the pics show. The hosts are amazing friendly and helpful people. The property is so well equipped. We totally recommend this property for a lovely relaxing stay.

We loved staying here - spacious, clean, quiet, with everything we needed - we even extended our stay. The kids loved the courtyard area to play in and seeing the goats and other animals every day. Highly recommend. Car needed but it's a short journey to both Nailsworth and Stroud (and ample parking). Highly recommended

Loved the place! It was comfortable, cute, and cozy. Jeannie was so nice and gave us some great suggestions for dinner. The goats were my favorite! They were so much fun and so sweet. *Google map tries to guide you to the wrong side of the road! The neighbors were also lovely and helped us get where we needed to go.

Nothing bad to say. The accommodation was clean and very well appointed - everything has been thought of. As others have said, it’s bigger than you expect as well!
