“Rustic, hospitable, quaint, value for money and just enough for what we needed.”
The host was lovely and had many recommendations on what to do and where to eat while in town. She also tended to our needs when we requested help and the Wi-Fi was good.

very poor direction. Couldn't find the house no at all! And we didn't like filling in all our information after we already paid. Won't recommend this Swallows Rest. There's a pitbull with aggression.
