"We recently stayed at Swallow Barn and our whole group loved it! We particularly liked the cosy feel even though it is a large property and the swimming pool. The owner was on hand for anything we needed and was very helpful. Personally we would have appreciated more showers, there are plenty of bathrooms but only one with a proper shower. Our group are all shower lovers so we had to have a rota or use the hand showers in the baths. This is personal preference but worth knowing if you are thinking of going to Swallow Barn. Generally it is in very good condition and the decor is fabulous. We did find some areas which could do with a deep clean but appreciate it is in the country. That said we all had a fabulous time and would stay again."

"This is a fabulous place for a holiday. The barn has been converted really well and is comfortable and homely, with lots of character and plenty of space for a large family group.It has the best equipped kitchen of any cottage we've stayed at...no shortage of pans, cutlery, chopping boards, crockery, glasses etc.The pool is small but great fun and the kids enjoyed the selection of games and playing pool and table football. Nice garden area outside.The owners live next door. It's a quiet spot in a tiny hamlet with countryside views.There's lots of nice pubs and restaurants nearby and lots of places to visit...it's about 30 minutes drive to Warwick or Stratford.Definitely recommend this place."

"This was a very special place for our family to spend time together!- The space and facilities were perfect, providing activities ( the pool, games area and games , books/ information) and local walks in lovely countryside. There was enough space to accommodate the range of ages to have peace or activity as needed. The kitchen was well equipped, the bedroom configuration and comfort just right. ( and bathroom facilities) we appreciated the architecture, history and variety of the collections displayed.the garden was lovely, and patio perfect on sunny days.Thank you.we enjoyed exploring locally in Banbury, Oxford, and Stratford on Avon. The recommended pub for food out was good."

"Feel the springs when you are in bed. Truly awful sleep. Hugely disappointing. Couldn't wait to get home to my own beds.This worked well except that the en-suite turned out to be just a shower and sink - no toilet. This meant she had to go out of her room at night to go to the toilet. She managed ok though. The cottage had everything we needed and was comfortable and cosy. Good facilities in the village as well, shop, butcher, baker, two pubs - both do food and one does great take away fish and chips. Some nice short walks from the door for the fitter members of our family."

"We had a lovely weekend and liked the cottage. It did feel quite cluttered, as though things had just been put out of the way while owners away. In need of a bit of tlc and maintenance - mould around bath, carpet quite dirty in hallway so first impression not great. Dried up soap bars in bathroom and kitchen.Kitchen equipment - plenty of it but some of it quite scruffy - e.g rusty baking traysGarden - lovely, very peaceful setting but general tidy up needed.Summer house - really lovelyPeaceful, beautiful setting"
