Swallow Barn Lakes Reviews

Beth
Cosy spot with brilliant hot tub, top choice!
Rachel
Our weekend at Swallows was brilliant! The owners were super responsive and helpful whenever we needed anything. Our dog was thrilled with her special barrel bed. Kids had a blast with the hot tub, golfand table tennis. Nearby shops and petrol stations made everything convenient. Hidden Valley was a perfect day trip, just a short 15-minute drive from the cottage.

Our weekend at Swallows was brilliant! The owners were super responsive and helpful whenever we needed anything. Our dog was thrilled with her special barrel bed. Local shops and petrol stations were convenient. The kids went mad for the hot tub, golf and table tennis. We\'d totally recommend checking out Hidden Valley - just a quick 15-minute drive from the cottage.
