It was such a beautiful little cottage. We loved every moment of being there and will definitely be back soon and recommend it to everyone. Isobel was a brilliant host and made sure to give all the information we needed.
We had a wonderful stay in the cottage. It was equipped with everything we needed and set in beautiful gardens. The kids loved the table tennis, badminton and heated pool. Izzy and Simon were fantastic hosts and we highly recommend this cottage. The location was fabulous with so much to explore all around.
Absolutely beautiful property in one of the most peaceful locations. Perfect for a special stay, and we loved the additional touches from Izzy. Will definitely be back, hopefully to enjoy some warm weather and the pool!
A wonderful place that feels both special and home-from-home. Very thoughtfully equipped and super comfortable. Great location for exploring this part of the Peak District.
This place was amazing, the scenery, the local places to visit and the spectacular Callow Hall Hotel, where I have my fantastic birthday meal and cocktails. I would definitely return maybe in the summer this time so we can make the most of the pool.
Many Thanks for a relaxing get away.
The property was beautiful in the perfect location. We had some lovely walks with our dog, time to relax around the pool and had several excellent meals out as recommended by our host. Would definitely love to return sometime in the future.
Thank you!!
The cottage is beautiful and the area is gorgeous. Lots of wonderful walks and swims.
Izzy and Simon couldnât have been more helpful and accommodating. Weâve come home very relaxed and rested. Thank you so much, we will definitely come back đ
Relaxing and refreshing. Comfortable cosy cottage but we came for the pool really, which was great and very therapeutic. Fab location for walking and great food places nearby. Really loved Ashbourne. Cafe impromptu was great and Callow Hall amazing to eat at. Hosts were friendly, helpful, really kind and welcoming!
Our stay at Swallows Cottage was everything we had hoped for. We wanted a quiet, countryside home base that would be charming and comfortable and we found it! Izzy and Simon are the best hosts ever!! The heated pool is an added bonus although most of our time was spent exploring the Peak District and relaxing in the Cottage with a fire and book. We canât wait to return for another visit!
A very smart and comfortable cottage with all necessary facilities. A well-equipped kitchen, comfortable sitting room complete with books DVDs Comfortable bed, adequate wardrobe space, bathroom with shower and bath - lots of hot water Countryside views from all windows.
Cottage has high standard of decor and cleanliness.
Loved the peaceful, beautifully maintained grounds with complete with garden furniture.
No negative comments at all - very high recommended.
Izzy is the perfect host and the cottage is just idillic. It is well stocked with essentials including basic grocery items. The beds are really comfortable as is the lounge furniture.
We would have loved to use the swimming pool so next time we'll go earlier in the year! Ashbourne is literally five minutes drive away and a quaint little town with plenty of eateries.
Simon and I bought The Priory, Swallows Cottage and The Old Engine house in 2009. Since then we have renovated The Priory and Swallow's Cottage to ensure maximum comfort - whether it be beds, heating or endless hot water. Our landscape gardener has developed the grounds, especially around the swimming pool, sympathetically and with great detail. Our three children are often away and we relish the chance to look after our Swallows Cottage guests and love introducing them to our special Derbyshire "finds". We love being in such a peaceful spot but are endlessly grateful that we are just such a short distance from Ashbourne.
Having lived in a local village (some 6 miles from Asbourne), very happily, for 10 years, we were thrilled to find the combination of rural peace but without being miles from civilization - with Ashbourne just 2 miles away we can easily whizz in for milk, papers and take-aways without feeling that we are in a built-up area. An added bonus is that we can walk by footpath, directly from the front door to Tissington and beyond.
When we bought the property we were advised by many friends not to put a pool in - how glad we are now that we ignored their advice! This Summer has been glorious - Derbyshire at its very best. Breakfasting by the pool on a quiet Summer's morning can't be beaten.
