Little Swattesfield was perfect for our weekend stay! We booked it last minute and it had everything we could have needed. The garden was big and well fenced off so our dog could run around without us needing to worry. It was a very relaxing and peaceful weekend, thank you!

We have had a really lovely stay, wish we could stay longer! Such a gorgeous location, and so peaceful. The house feels so cosy and we felt right at home. Our young daughter loved playing on the trampoline and slide, unfortunately the weather was pretty up and down over our stay so she would definitely love to come back to play more!

Lovely week at Little Swattesfield. Ideal location for our two dogs having large enclosed garden and ability to go on public footpaths right outside our door. Great play area next to the property which our 5 year old daughter loved and her dad (me!). Not everything worked perfectly in the house. All pretty minor though which didn’t affect our holiday.

Very nice stay thank you. The house was as described and in a nice area. A good fenced in area for our dog. The only small negative was the house heating was a bit confusing initially and I think it should be made clearer in the airbnb description whether firewood is included or not. Very cosy seating area for the fire.

Lovely home. The log fire was a really nice touch. I think it would be great in the summer as the outdoor area with the bbq and speakers would be great on a sunny day. Beds were really comfortable. All the appliances worked well and were easy to use. Nice added touches such as straighteners available, extra games and toys for guests etc. One thing to note.... the track to the property is quite raised in the middle and lowered cars would struggle. Everything about the stay was perfect.

Nice place for short break, needs some finishing touches such as blinds/curtains, but nice house.
