The bedroom was excellently appointed. The shower head was a little slow as it was suffering from lime scale. The location of The Swallows is brilliant as a starting point for all the attractions in the area. Top marks. ##### William Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Verified traveller 17 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort We had a very comfortable and relaxed time. The breakfast was good and lots of options. Plenty of good eating places near by. It might have been helpful to know to look out for Cleeves House as from our approach we couldn t see the Swallows sign. All very friendly. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Andrew 11 May 2024 Nice comfy bed small telly but slept really well not ce place nice hosts ##### Andrew Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Sally 17 May 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The room was very beautiful and clean. The breakfast was very good. The hostess was accommodating. The location is a bit remote, but that what gives the serene country-side vibe. Since there is no dining option, then a minifridge in the room would be very useful. ##### Sally Stayed 3 nights in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melisa 23 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities ##### Melisa Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stella 14 Feb 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Stella Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### christine 14 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### christine Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### david 9 Jul 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### david Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 9 Jul 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Paul Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ian 3 Jun 2023 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities Exceptionally good breakfast - plentiful - a full English breakfast.

The Swallows was a drive out of town but reasonably priced. It was dark when we arrived and as it is off the main A road was difficult to locate. A telephone call guided us in. We had booked a double room, however we were shown into a twin room. Finding the host in her private quarters (she seemed lovely and amenable) was met by the "husband" who appeared a little grumpy and inhospitable. We were moved to a double room without any fuss. The room and whole property is of a very high quality and I would mark the facilities as 10 out of 10. Breakfast was promising, pre booked, juice and cereal, a full English breakfast, tea and toast (other options are available). Satisfying but not at the same standard as the property - I will not critique the food but if you break an egg whilst cooking it, put another one on and give the broken one to your husband not your customer. My wife and I then relaxed for an hour in our room with beautiful countryside views, packed and took our things down stairs to say thank you and goodbye. Guests were in the dining room, I could see the gentleman through a partially open kitchen door, I didn't have the courage to knock again and yet manners directed me to say thank you. No we just left, in the car and away. It served our purpose and we left happy enough for a wonderful day enjoying the pleasures of Bath. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Dec 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### Nicholas 11 Oct 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Great place to stay Everything was great.
