Guests say
Swallow Lodge receives glowing praise for its modern, well-equipped and beautifully decorated accommodation, set in peaceful countryside close to Hay-on-Wye. Guests consistently highlight the relaxing hot tub, cleanliness, and the warm welcome from attentive hosts. The proximity to a country pub is seen as a bonus, and the welcome baskets are much appreciated, though not guaranteed. Minor issues such as occasional discomfort with the sofa and the absence of a dishwasher are mentioned, but do not detract from the overwhelmingly positive experience. The property is highly recommended for a tranquil and comfortable rural getaway.
Cleanliness is frequently praised, with guests describing the lodge as spotless, tidy, and well-maintained. Only one review mentions a minor issue with stains on the toilet seat, but this is an exception among overwhelmingly positive feedback.
The rural location is highly valued for its tranquillity, beautiful scenery, and proximity to Hay-on-Wye and local walks. The nearby pub is considered a convenient bonus, and privacy is generally maintained despite its closeness.
Guests find the lodge comfortable, with soft bedding and a relaxing atmosphere. The hot tub is a highlight for unwinding after walks. A few guests mention the sofa could be more supportive, but overall comfort is rated very highly.
Facilities are described as excellent, with modern decor, a well-equipped kitchen, and a luxurious hot tub. Some guests note the absence of a dishwasher, vacuum cleaner, or iron, and minor issues with hot tub steps, but these are rare.
Guests frequently mention thoughtful touches such as welcome baskets with local produce and helpful hosts. While these gifts are much appreciated, it should be noted that such gestures are not guaranteed for every stay.

Susan ONeill
Located in the most perfectly quiet and beautiful surroundings. Swallow lodge is perfect for couples who just want to get away from the hustle and bustle of life. Fully gated to keep our little dog from escaping, and the hot tub was wonderful after a day on your feet, exploring the sites. The accomodation was comfortable, and well equipped. Although the pub, Castlefields, was literally a stones throw away, it was quiet, and definitely a plus if you wanted a drink or a bite to eat. Welcome box was nice, and bathrobes to get into after a spell in the hot tub. I would highly recommend Swallow Lodge. Thank you Carol.

We have just had the best week at Swallow Cottage, we cannot recommend this highly enough, nothing is too much for the owners. The pub was a great added bonus. We will definitely be back.
