Very comfortable cottage
Excellent location for visiting Cheshire and Peak District. The cleanliness and standard of the furniture and fittings in the cottage could not be faulted and Brenda was very helpful. Outdoor space not private.

Holiday from Oz
Absolutely fantastic property and location, Brenda, the host was very helpful throughout the booking process and during our three week stay, she really couldn’t do enough for us. Swallows Barn is easily accessible from Congleton with a short drive through Buglawton and was a home from home on our stay.

Family Wedding
Really lovely accommodation, very comfortable and very clean. The cottage had everything you would need to make you feel welcome, and your stay a home from home; even down to the small things like fresh flowers on the table when we arrived. Brenda, the host, was easy to contact with any questions we had and replied quickly. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful cottage
We stayed at the cottage for a long weekend for a wedding at Heaton House wedding venue. We had a super time and the cottage was so comfortable and lovely. Barbara is such a lovely lady and was so welcoming. We would definitely recommend this cottage and would love to return some time again

Thank you for your lovely review. We are fortunate to live in a lovely area with interesting places to visit in any direction. I'm pleased that you recognised the significant efforts which I take to ensure that my cottages are consistently spotlessly clean. best wishes Brenda

Absolutely perfect
I can’t say enough good things about the farm. The rental was gorgeous and impeccably done. The farm was scenic and pleasant. We stepped out in the morning with some coffee and watched the sheep grazing in the field. Most of the animals were out in farther pastures and with the rain we didn’t see too many more, but had it dried up we would have walked the area more. The owners were friendly and not at all intrusive. We bumped into our hosts one morning and had a long nice conversation about the property and history as well as some new projects he had going on around the farm. Beautiful property and accommodations. Thanks for a great stay.

Not as pictured
The picture makes the place look very special. You don’t see the dilapidated barns and broken windows just out of the picture. We also saw no evidence of the advertised “working farm,” other than an unhappy, chained up border collie . This was the first time in a 2week trip,that we were not welcomed by the owner with a sweet treat of homemade cake or cookies. In fact, she wasn’t even there when we finally arrived, having drive. Back and forth on the road for an hour because the veto website didn’t identify the property correctly. Don’t look for swallows barn, you will never find it.
