Reviews

We stayed at the swallows for our Honeymoon, on arrival we were greeted with a gift hamper with scones cream and jam and other goodies. We were so impressed with how clean and modern the interior was, and yet it still managed to keep the quaint and cosy cottage feel. Everything we could possibly think of was supplied and the information pack was very useful. The location is so peaceful and the decking area has fantastic views over the fields to the sea. The nearest beach is only minutes away as well as a village with a very nice fish and chip shop. I would highly recommend the swallows as a fantastic place to stay, we have stayed in a few cottages before and this was by far the best we will definately be returning for another holiday. |
