Gold Award winning cottage- with indoor heated pool and games area- pet friendly

Swift Cottage is rated by the Tourist Board - Visit England as being 4 star and has achieved their Gold Award for the last four years. It is family and pet friendly. (1 obedient small dog).
One additional person can be accommodated on a bed-settee in the living area, plus a travel cot if required.
Swift Cottage is one of nine cottages that have been sympathetically converted from the existing buildings of a working farm. Enjoying peace and quiet, the holiday cottages are set amidst pasture land, and benefit from beautiful and unforgettable views of stunning countryside. With a heated 38ft*16ft indoor swimming pool and quality recreational facilities, Swift Cottage with its exposed roof beams and open gallery has it all. Large lounge / dining area with a slate floor - includes 42" smart TV, incorporating DVD player and USB recording facility, games, books etc. Wood burning stove. Lounge has direct access to the private patio area in the front courtyard.. Kitchen - modern style units - well equipped adjacent to dining area. Ground floor bedroom with twin beds, smart 28" TV with DVD player and en-suite shower room, staircase to open gallery area. First floor main bedroom with king size bed, 32" Smart TV with DVD player and en-suite shower room. Heating, linen, towels etc all included. Free Wi-Fi. Swift has the added advantage of rear access to the adjacent communal indoor heated swimming pool and games room and the communal external area for the children's play area, picnic area & barbecue, etc.

Outside
Externally Swift has a large front patio area with picnic table & umbrella, plus a companion timber seat together with barbecue, fire pit, pot plants & shrubs in adjoining flower beds. This area is a sun trap for eating alfresco.
Family's can enjoy the quite surroundings of the open countryside whilst enjoying a barbecue with just their family or with other families and friends in the communal area for picnics, barbecue etc. whilst the children are playing in close vicinity.
In 2015 Newhouse Barton Management invested in a biomass boiler for the running of the communal building so we have now gone 'Green' and helping the environment.
In 2021 the Management Company invested in a twin charging post for electric cars, (Pod Point) located in the communal car park. So no worries if driving a EV you can top up your batteries while enjoying your holiday.

High spec cottage
Nice, clean cottage furnished to a high specification which is well of the beaten track. Family friendly with a large communal swimming pool and games room and outside play area. There is a PodPoint 7kw charging post which is charged at a very high price if you want to use it. Consequently, there were at least 4 EV/PHEVs parked on the parking lot but nobody used it.

Lovely little break away
Swift cottage is a gorgeous little place...so clean, comfy and well equipped. We arrived in the dark and the cottage was lovely and warm when we arrived. The beds were comfy and we all slept very well. The grounds were immaculate and the pool was a big hit with our 2 year old. Great communication with host as Jacquie was just a message away if we needed anything. Many thanks :)

Beautiful property in a beautiful location
I would highly recommend this property. It has everything you could possibly need and is very comfy. It helps too that on site there is a very well looked after and child friendly pool. The games room and playground are an added bonus. Having a 2 year old and an 8 year old it was a nice surprise that the owner has re-modelled the staircase. The phots initially showed a spiral staircase but this is now a much more child friendly staircase. We enjoyed this property so much that we have already booked for next year!

Lovely stay at Swift cottage
We had a lovely week stay here. The location was so peaceful, it was very welcome after coming from the city. The children loved having access to the pool and had great fun. The cottage itself was cozy and welcoming and very clean. It had everything you needed to make meals. We would definitely recommend this place to others. Thank you for the stay.
