The accommodation is very average, the best part is the enclosed garden for your dogs. But the owner has 2 dogs that roam freely on her property and the day we were leaving and packing our car. One of her dogs tried to attack one of my small dogs which was on its lead ,I had to block her dog with my body and shout at it, until the owner got it under control, very scary. I found the owner to be very offhanded and aggressive especially when I first phoned up about the key collection, which she did apologise for. Me and my husband has had many holidays with cottages.com and they have all been lovely, nice welcoming owners ect. But this one at Swallows nest was the worst one ever ,manly due to the owner ,I personally will never go back there again.
