Instantly felt at home from the moment we opened the door to this lovely cottage. Kitchen and lounge area are perfect with everything you could possibly need. Owners live next door and are very hospitable, they are happy to sit and chat with you, but I'm sure they would easily stay out of your way if that's your preference. Weather was perfect and we made full use of the lovely pool and outside eating area. Would go back in an instant as it was hard to leave.

Just back from a great four night break at Swallow Cottage, Fenny Bentley, Ashbourne ..... lovely cottage .... great pool ..... pretty grounds .... perfect setting and views.... can't praise it enough and can't wait to go back for another stay :)

My partner and I spent 4 nights here and couldn't fault it. The house had everything we needed and more. Beautifully decorated and very comfortable. Spotlessly clean. Great shower. Comfy beds. Our host, Izzy, lit a fire for us when we arrived and was friendly and helpful. A pantry with a few staples was really helpful - my partner and I like to cook but do not want to have to buy all the basics when we travel, so it is really handy when we stay somewhere that has a bit of a store cupboard. The outdoor area was beautiful. Very quiet at night. Great views from some of the windows. Fenny Bentley is very central and we found it a great base for our adventures in Derbyshire. I would stay there again without hesitation.

We booked Swallows Cottage for a weekend break for the four of us. We'd wanted somewhere within a couple of hours driving time, in a country location, warm and comfortable and close to some decent cycling routes with a reasonably priced pub or restraunt nearby. It didn't disappoint. We were met on arrival and welcomed to the property. The cottage was clean and warm and more than adequately kitted-out for our needs. We spent the following day cycling at Carsington Water followed by a lunch stop in Ashbourne. On the owners recommendation we ate out that evening at The Old Gate Inn in Brassington. Three of the four meals really were excellent and the fourth was still very good.

We would be happy to recommend Swallows Cottage as a comfortable location for a stay in the Peak District.

Arrived to be greated by a happy couple who where very nice and helpful, the cottage itself was beautiful,clean and cozy. A book found on the table has everything you can do written in the area from the local pubs and restaurant menus to local shops opening times. Was so happy returned the following week. Defiantly recommend to anyone.
