Swallows Nest is one of the best cottages we have stayed in. The cottage is beautifully decorated and furnished and has so many lovely pictures that it's like a little art gallery!We loved the welcome bottle of organic prosecco and were impressed by all the eco products provided. The cottage is cosy, comfortable and very well equipped. We especially loved all the mugs! The kitchen looks fairly new and has been designed to really make the best use of the space.Hebden is a lovely little village surrounded by the beautiful Yorkshire Dales. We walked from the door on several days and visited Linton, Burnsall and Grassington during our walks. We had a lovely meal at the Clarendon Hotel and visited the Old School Tea room several times for brunch and tea and cake. There are lots of other places to visit a short drive away. The bench by the front door is the perfect place to sit with a cuppa after a walk, we couldn't get enough of the view from there. We were really sad to leave Swallows Nest and we hope to return one day.
