Our stay was exactly what we needed to chill out and relax, which was the main purpose of our break away. We immediately felt at home and loved sitting on the front porch in morning sun with our croissants and coffee, then on the back decking with something a little stronger enjoying the afternoon/evening sun. In short, everything was perfect. WoulRead mored we stay here again?..."you're damn right we would" Hide

This is a well equipped, clean and comfortable holiday let. The location is set well into the countryside so it is quiet despite being next to the road. All equipment is of good quality and consequently works well. Well placed to visit the shopping village at Street and Glastonbury. Fast wi-fi and multi-channel tv.

Swallows Rest was a fantastic location for our holiday, tucked nicely away in the countryside but with easy links to plenty of local attractions. The home was very spacious, light, warm and cosy and was the perfect home for our holiday. Very clean and tidy, the house had a large open plan kitchen and lounge, with breakfast bar seating, and came equRead moreipped with plenty of board games which was great fun. The bedroom was spacious and very comfy. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again Hide

Swallows Rest is an amazing place to stay. It looks and feels modern and very stylish. The inside is kitted out to a very high standard and has everything you need. Suitable for both couples or a family of four, our daughter loved sleeping up high on the mezzanine floor. Plenty of outside space for children to play with cows and a couple of friendlRead morey donkeys in the field behind. The veranda has patio furniture for eating and drinking in the evening whilst enjoying the sunset. Highly recommend. Hide
