“Home from home” is a reasonable phrase to use. The bedroom is spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Set in a quiet rural location within easy walking distance of pubs, restaurants and a small bakery/coffee shop. The hostess is lovely and attentive. Off road parking is great too, on a clean gravel drive very close to the entrance, so no lugging of cases for long distances! Food was very pleasant, with lots of choice to suit all tastes. Very reasonable pricing. Exactly what we were looking for.

Nothing really! It may be worth mentioning that the setting is a small (very lovely) village, but with narrow streets, so motor homes or larger vans could not negotiate the streets easily.

We stayed in The Swallow room. It was spacious and cosy, and the bed was super comfortable, with lovely cotton sheets. The room and en suite were very clean, and the shower was great. The hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and nothing was too much trouble. The location was good, allowing easy travel by car to a number of towns and villages nearby. The breakfast was excellent, very tasty with a large number of options, also catering for vegetarian guests. Overall, this is easily one of the best stays away we've had. And we'll most definitely be back soon. Highly recommend.

Nothing. It was perfect.

The Swallows is one of the best B&Bs my husband and I have ever stayed at and we would highly recommend it to anyone. The hosts were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was fantastic, it was spacious and very clean, the bathroom had a roll top bath and a large shower and was also very spacious. There is a garden area for guests which is very well maintained and is a lovely place to sit on a Summer's evening. Breakfast was excellent.

Nothing.

The room is beautiful, very well presented with an incredibly comfortable bed. The whole place was so clean and fresh and the bathroom was very nice too. Wish we had have booked another night to be able to fully enjoy everything. Sam, the host was amazing. So kind and helpful especially when we were a up in the air about whether we'd be able to arrive or not due to some crazy circumstances. We were met with such warmness and empathy it really made me feel at ease and less stressed. The breakfast was fantastic too with many great options to choose from. Perfectly poached eggs which doesn't happen often. We're looking forward to staying again in the future.

If all the B&B in all the towns and villages were like this then the world would be a delightful, better place. If you're looking in this area, then book now! A great location, sumptuous room, including ensuite, with added extras plus great staff (Sam et al). Perfect breakfast provision, with personal egg preferences alongside cooked (weekend) and extensive continental (weekday) options. Housekeeping and similar service exceptional. Very good value.

Nothing

The rooms were beautifully decorated and very comfortable with thoughtful touches provided. Brigstock is a beautiful village and the views from the garden room were lovely. Delicious breakfast too. Sam was very friendly and helpful.

There are waterfall shower heads in the walk in shower so unless you’re washing your hair a shower cap is required! However there is also a hand held shower option in the bath.

The property and room/ en-suite were stunning. The bed was extremely comfy, beautiful location and a real personal touch from the owners. Our room was spotless, we enjoyed our homemade cookies on arrival and loved the fact that there was an honesty fridge. We enjoyed our breakfast in bed which arrived piping hot. Honestly could not fault this b&b! The owners were welcoming and friendly and it was incredible value for money.

There wasn’t one thing we didn’t like about the property

Breakfast was nice; full fried breakfast not available during the week, but this didn't really matter as one of us prefers continental anyway, and eggs or beans on toast were available .Not huge fans of pre-ordering the night before, but presumably this is to prevent waste. Only one small niggle - the toast was a bit hard, but fortunately we still both have our own teeth so could just about cope with it!

Bathroom extractor fan was rather noisy when having a bath, but the bath itself was lovely. Everything else was fine.

Excellent B&B! Great communication with Sam before and during. Beautifully designed rooms, comfortable bed, lovely bathroom. Sam greeted us with delicious homemade cookies and provided a delicious breakfast in the bright, sunny breakfast room. We were just passing through, but Swallows Rest would be a lovely place to spend a few nights if you're in the area.

No concerns.

From walking through the door to walking into the bedroom, this place is outstanding and a credit to the owners. It offered great value for money, with tastefully decorated rooms, to fine furniture, and an amazingly comfortable bed. The minibar, although at an expected additional cost, was well stocked and a real pleasure after a long drive. It's located off a quiet road, but within walking distance to two pubs and a general store, making it an ideal stop off point for anyone visiting the area.

Nothing I can honestly say fell below our expectations. When everything is perfect, it is difficult to complete this box.
