Beautiful cottage and super-friendly host, thank you. We really enjoyed the almond tarts you baked. Stay safe and well. Jason and Natasha. 24 April 2021
The Swallows
We have just had an extremely comfortable 4 night stay at the Swallows. We were lucky to be able to take a cancellation for a last minute trip to look round universities.
The cottage is very well equipped, clean and welcoming and perfectly located to visit Sheffield, Bakewell, Chatsworth House etc. It has beautiful views in all directions and a good sized garden to sit and enjoy them.
We enjoyed a lovely walk round Linacre reservoirs just down the road and a day in the Peak District.

Comfortable, spacious cottage in beautiful setting with helpful owner
My family and I spent a very enjoyable week here and found The Swallows to be very clean, comfortable, spacious and well-equipped. We appreciated the two ensuites, the milk and cakes on our arrival, the children's play house in the garden and toys inside the cottage. Beautiful rural location with almost panoramic views and well-situated with lots of places to visit nearby. We enjoyed the walks from the cottage as well. Very helpful owner who kindly returned the toys and books that my children had left behind - very much appreciated, thank you!
