Swift At Mels Cottages Reviews

Oliver
We really enjoyed our stay! The cottage was perfect for our family, with everything we needed. The location is great, just a quick drive into the town centre, which was handy. The pub next door looked nice, but we didn't visit since we had a baby with us. We loved the steam train trip from townand the Indian restaurant, Namiste, was amazing-probably the best Indian food we've ever had! Definitely recommend.
Alex
The cottage was lovely-very roomy and kept spotless. We really enjoyed our stay; it was super relaxing. The log burner was a great touch and warmed up the place quickly. Would stay again!
Sarah
The kitchen was smaller than expected but had everything we needed for a comfy stay.
Emma Clarke
We stayed at Swift Cottage for a weekend to celebrate my birthdayand it was truly lovely. The owners went out of their way with a personal touch-there was a card, cakeand flowers which made us feel very special. The cottage itself was comfy and well-equipped, perfect for our needs. Even with the weather being a bit rubbish, we enjoyed some nice walks in such a beautiful area. We'd definitely return!
James
The hosts really looked after us, especially when we needed some special arrangements for my 85-year-old grandma in a wheelchair. The cottage was lovely and spotlessly clean. We'll definitely come back if her health allows. Can't recommend it enough, really enjoyed our stay!
