“Swallow Cottage is a wonderful home away from home.”
It is beautifully presented, with every last detail carefully thought through.
The cottage is in a wonderful, tranquil location. The instructions on how to find it are superb and once you have driven down the sweeping driveway / lane there is ample designated parking.
The cottage it's self is beautifully decorated, perfectly sized and wonderfully warm (it was very windy & cold when we arrived, so this was very welcome!)
The kitchen is one of the best equipped kitchens I've found so far! The home made cake was a wonderful, delicious, treat and it was gone in a flash!
The bedrooms are very cosy and comfortable. Very good quality bedding is provided, which made the beds feel like sleeping in a fluffy cloud. There was a very surprising amount of storage, which was great, and also a very good size bathroom.
By no means a negative: A part of the charm of this property is its history, and what comes with that is low ceilings in some parts of the property. So if you're particularly tall, then this would need to be taken into consideration (I'm 5ft 10" and managed perfectly well, but if you're well over 6ft this would be quite different experience, but not quite a show stopper, just something to bear in mind).
We loved this property and it's location so much that we booked for another stay in 2026, before even leaving to come home.
If you love a tranquil, beautiful setting that's a short drive from Whitby / Scarborough then this is the place for you!
Thank you for your kind comments and so pleased you enjoyed your stay.
