Swallow, Yorkshire Dales

Our stay at the Swallow was very enjoyable and we loved the hot tub. Bed comfortable and facilities good. We met the owner and was very welcoming and showed us the lodges on site. We will recommend the Swallows to friends and family. Thanks to all staff involved who made our stay enjoyable. From Glen and Jackie

We had a lovely break and enjoyed our stay, the hot tub was great and the accommodation was tiny but well designed and provided a great base for our day trips around the area. The pod does require some maintenance, however. One of the wicker chairs out front had gone through and the curtain rail was coming away from the wall on the right side. The kitchen sink leaks and floods the bathroom floor near the loo. We were disappointed that the listing suggested towels were included but then to be told we had to pay 15 for them. Thankfully the owners were kind enough to provide towels and promised to correct the ambiguous wording on the Sykes listing. We were also surprised that we had to pay a 100 deposit on arrival. Nowhere in the correspondence did it say we needed to do this. Even more disappointing was that we only got 75 of our deposit back after a week, with no message or explanation as to why. Fair enough if they thought we had damaged something, which we hadnt, but there was no inspection or opportunity to discuss. Essentially they have put their hand in my wallet and helped themselves to 25. For this reason I would not recommend this accommodation.

I recently visited this charming getaway with my dogs, and it's truly a hidden gem. Nestled in a beautiful location, the views are simply incredible. The owners are not only welcoming but exceptionally friendly, making our stay even more enjoyable. The nearby local pub adds to the experience with its lovely atmosphere and superb food. It has become our goto weekend retreat a perfect blend of tranquility and delicious dining.
