Idyllic

We've stayed at Swallow's Rest often and it never fails to charm us all over again. It's well situated but feels like the country with the farm smells, the rolling grass. Everything we need is included in the place. And we like the host a lot.

Beautiful and quaint cottage

Exceptionally peaceful location, situated on a very scenic farmstead. This well appointed and wonderfully decorated cottage had everything we needed for a great 2 day stay. The owners were especially accommodating and friendly. We will stay here again soon.

GORGEOUS

Henry's place was immaculate and charming and felt incredibly luxe. It was spotlessly and obviously clean and the details that went into the space were clear. The farm settings was so calm and peaceful and felt isolated despite the main house being visible from the doorway. Henry came to say hi and we chatted for a few and made me aware of his accessibility and then there was no need for anything else. The bed was VERY comfortable. Climate controls worked flawlessly. The bathroom was so clean and practical, even for a tall person, and everything was solidly built. The place is covered in local art and incredibly tasteful and well furnished. Nothing bare bones or "rental" about it. Nothing felt cheap or disposable. This is a luxury stay and I will absolutely seek it out in the future if I visit the area.
