Swallows, 1 The Old Stables

Lovely location. Property is clean and modern and had everything we needed for our stay. Hosts very welcoming. All the animals on the farm, the daily red kite and evening owl made our stay even more enjoyable.

Nothing - just be aware that there are comings and goings early morning on the farm. Didn’t bother us but it may not suit some people.

Clean comfortable with everything you needed

It is in a great setting on a farm. The property itself was immaculate and clean. We had a sincere, warm welcome from the owners and family. After a long journey it was much appreciated. Speaking of warmth, underfloor heating with good thermostat controls meant it was toasty inside. Everything needed for a pleasant stay was there, which meant no need to shop for any basics, so we could instantly relax. Our dog was very welcome with a bowl and towel ready to use. Walks from the property to the river (Thames) were regular features of the days. We loved our stay for a wintry week of ice and cold rain.

What’s not to like?

Brilliant location, located off the main roads, only sounds you could hear were what you'd expect in the countryside, sheep, horses and birdsong. This is where to go if you want to fully disconnect, relax and re-engage with the rest of humanity when it suits you (or you need to find a good pub or cafe for breakfast) :-)

Mobile coverage was patchy, both a blessing (digital detox was much needed) and a curse to the phone battery and needing to recharge regularly. However Wifi is fantastic so if you need NetFlix or WhatsApp calling there's no bother here.
