Swallows Nest Cottage Reviews

Rebecca
Fabulous accommodation. Spotless, charming, practical. Highly recommend. Had everything you could think of needing and more. Amazing setting with lovely views.
Jessica
The perfect cottage in the perfect location! Like a home from home, very comfortable and beautifully presented. The location is perfect, an ideal base for exploring the Peak District with lots of local walks nearby. We came home yesterday and are already looking at rebooking this cottage.
Alan
The cottage is in a great position for visiting the beautiful villages of the Derbyshire Dale's and there are many walking opportunities close by. We had a great holiday visiting Chatsworth, Buxton, Tideswell and did lots of great walks. The village pub which is a 10 minute walk serves good food and is dog friendly.
Julie
We had a lovely stay at the Old Dairy. The cottage was very comfortable in a marvellous location convenient for trips to Eyam, Castleton, Buxton and Matlock. We enjoyed walking into the village to the Bull Inn. The fields full of baby lambs were a bonus.
Gillian
We enjoyed a fantastic week here. Penny was very responsive and helpful, without being intrusive. The cottage is beautiful and had everything we needed.
Helen
Beautiful cottage in stunning area. 5 mins walk to great pub. Perfect property for dogs too. Penny, our host, was super. A great family (3 generations) holiday and super central Peak District location for exploring the local area. Highly recommend.
