Guests staying at this cottage can enjoy a break that is as laid-back or action-packed as they like. For those who enjoy the simple pleasures of country walks, there are miles of footpaths close by and those who are lucky may even spot red kites, woodpeckers, and sparrow hawks. The RHS garden of Harlow Carr is just 1.5 miles from the property and is a great place to spend a pleasurable day wandering the gardens, stopping for lunch at the gardens branch of Harrogates famous Bettys Tearoom, and browsing the well-stocked plant shop. Just a little further away, 3 miles from the property, the spa town of Harrogate is a delightful place to explore, with its excellent range of shops, eateries, and of course the Turkish baths.

 

A flight of external stairs leads guests to the front door of this property, though there is also a sloping path which leads round to the patio doors at the side of the house. Once inside, guests can sit back and unwind after their journey in the beamed lounge which has a TV/DVD and iPod dock . The kitchen/diner offers space for four people to eat together and is well-equipped with an oven, hob, microwave, fridge, freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, and tumble dryer. The master bedroom is a delightful space which boasts a spacious super-king-size bed which can be split into twin beds if required and has patio doors which open onto the garden. The second bedroom, meanwhile, is a restful twin room which looks out over the garden. The bathroom, which is located close to the bedrooms offers the best of both worlds, with a bath as well as a separate shower and WC.

 

The property's attractive and beauful garden extends to the rear and the side of the cottage and offers a pretty flower-edged lawn next to which there is a patio seating area with garden furniture. BBQs are allowed, but guests are asked to bring their own. There is a designated parking area for three cars.

The cottage is a little gem not far from Harrogate. It is beautifully appointed and very well equipped, even down to USB charging points in some of the mains sockets. If you enjoy wild life you will enjoy watching the birds on the bird feeder. In the middle of February we saw a lesser spotted woodpecker, goldfinch, blue tits and in the late eveningRead more a barn owl patrolling the bottom of the field. This cottage will not disappoint. We really enjoyed our stay, hopefully wewill be back later in the yr Hide

We had a lovely peaceful time at this charming cottage. Everything was perfect and we couldn't have asked for more. Our hosts were very welcoming and the treats they left for us were delicious!

Swallow cottage is absolutely perfect! The owners have thought of everything you would need on holiday. The location is ideal and the garden and outdoor seating area is ideal for relaxing in after you've been out for the day. We can't reccomend the accomodation highly enough.

By far the best cottage we've stayed in, with lovely hosts too. Beautifully furnished and equipped, a real home from home. Great location in the country, but near a pub doing meals, and with easy access to main roads for getting about. Loved watching the birds, and even saw hares. Would highly recommend Swallows.

Our stay at Swallow was extremely comfortable. Everything we could have needed was provided. The owners made us feel very welcome by providing us with a lovely home baked cake. The location was great for days out. We visited in December but would love to come back in the summer to enjoy the outdoor facilities. Would definitely stay here again
