The cottage was clean, comfortable and well appointed.
It was lovely to be able to stroll in to the village, to enjoy the pubs and facilities and to link up with local walks.
Locals were very pleasant and welcoming.
Our daughter commented that the twin room mattress was a bit lumpy/uncomfortable.
Our stay coincided with a heat wave, which was lovely however, access to a fan or cooler would have been helpful and would have saved us a shopping trip to buy one.

Nice and warm. Very comfy beds. Great location. Very responsive hosts.
It's all good. Not luxury but it doesn't set out it's stall for that.

Swallows retreat is in a great location, out the way, quiet and the dogs loved the outside space
Easy walk into Fordingbridge, had lots of great meals out in the area and easy access to lots of days out and activities
What a shame
Cleanliness let this place down, first thing I did on arrival was hoover. A sea of dead flies under the bed, all sorts down the back of sofa, carpet had crumbs
Annoying flapping air vent in toilet, TV turns itself off
Most uncomfortable bed, we averaged 5 hours sleep a night then gave up as my back was killing me.

"Lovely property with everything we needed. Great central location for a lot of day trips out, and being able to bring our cat was a bonus."
