The cosy seating area is ready for that favourite film on TV or DVD or a game of cards, whilst the dining area is just perfect for entertaining and, for summer evenings, why not open the doors onto the patio.

We had a brilliant long weekend at Swallows Nest, celebrating our daughters wedding. The owners were extremely accommodating. Lots of room to park for our guests which was important. The cottage was well equipped and comfortable for all of us and only a 20 minute drive to the wedding venue. Lovely location, with the horses and wildlife outside the Read moredoor. Hide

Absolutely beautiful place to stay. Spacious and modern but with a country feel. Situated on a stud farm which made it great seeing the horses and other farm animals. Ideal for our mountain bike holiday. Local market town of Wantage had plenty to keep us entertained as well.

Really spacious and clean. It was a perfect holiday cottage for the family. My toddler loved watching the horses and tractors outside the house. There were ducks and other farm animals which were really entertaining.

A fantastic location with plenty of beautiful scenery. Kites, hares and deer a regular feature as well as the gorgeous horses ( and new foal). Lots of room to relax and warm and cosy downstairs. Plenty of room for the seven adults who were there. A couple of the bedrooms need a little update but the downstairs bedroom and en-suite was very comfortaRead moreble as was the twin room. Underfloor heating was great! Lots of things to see and do, so a great base. Had a lovely week. Hide
