About this cottage rental
Blending in perfectly with its environment, Swallows Rest is a traditional Cotswold stone cottage, tucked into pretty gardens. The row of cottages sits on the edge of the village of Laverton, surrounded by rural views and is a very peaceful and relaxing place to stay.
Swallows Rest is a real home away from home offering a traditional style that is warm, welcoming, and comfortable. There's a spacious, open-plan kitchen-diner, separate living room and a light and airy sunroom which opens onto the enclosed rear garden. There are three well-appointed bedrooms on the first floor including one with an antique four-poster bed and a family bathroom, on the second floor the fourth bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and the most glorious of views.
This charming cottage has beautiful gardens both front and back. To the front, the pretty garden has borders filled with flowers including a magnificent Hydrangea bush and roses climbing over the front door. The rear garden is fully enclosed with a smooth lawn, planting and a stone patio, perfect for al-fresco dining and watching the vivid sunsets over Bredon Hill in the distance.
Ground Floor
Entrance Hall:
The traditional wooden front door opens into a tiled entrance hall. To your left the door to the kitchen-diner and to your right, the living room.
Kitchen/Diner:
This generous open plan space runs the length of the cottage, the window to the front looks out over the front garden and lets the sunshine flood in. There's a country-style wooden table that seats six comfortably and it's in close proximity to the kitchen area, making for sociable mealtimes. The kitchen is well-equipped with everything you could possibly need to create wonderful meals including a range-style stove with a gas hob and electric oven and washing up ceases to be a chore with a full-size dishwasher.
From the kitchen area, there are two steps to the rear hall which has a handy downstairs cloakroom and where you'll find the washer-dryer and a separate freezer if you need it. There's also a side door to the back garden.
Sun Room:
This lovely room has two comfy three-seater sofas and double doors which open to the garden. There are wonderful rural views to the rear and it's a relaxing and sunny spot to curl up with a good book or just listen to the birds singing outside.
Living Room:
The living room is double aspect and furnished with two vibrantly coloured plump sofas upholstered in shades of purple and turquoise. The wooden floor is topped with a colourful rug and light comes from a ceiling chandelier and two reading lamps. The coal-effect gas fire creates a warm cosy glow on chilly evenings and there's a large screen Smart TV for entertainment, there's also a DVD player.

We really enjoyed the comfort and views!
Everything was clean and very comfortable.
The Internet was very slow, and we would have liked to know which bins needed to go out - week1/week 2 didn’t help , but it was a fantastic location.

“Gorgeous cottage in a fantastic location, great for Broadway, Stow on the Wold, Moreton-in-Marsh, Bourton on the Water and the Cotswolds in general. Nicely furnished and so cosy! Highly recommend and can't wait to stay again!”

First time to visit the Cotswolds and could not have picked a better location! The cottage was very comfortable and plenty of room for the 5 of us to spread out and relax. The neighborhood was everything we had been told about the Cotswolds. Friendly neighborhood and easy to walk to locations of interest. Well stocked cottage as well. We even grilled out, which coming from Texas was an added plus. Will not forget the three day visit for a long time!

The entire house was perfect for our family. Lovely neighborhood and nearby to Broadway. We did many day trips from our cottage. Communication was fabulous; everything was exactly as described. Would absolutely stay here again!

Swallows Rest cottage is a very well presented and equipped cottage in a beautiful location. The views from the Master Bedroom are wonderful and our children enjoyed watching the steam train pass.
Laverton itself is a very picturesque village and makes a great base for exploring the local area, including Broadway which is a short drive away.
We would definitely recommend this property

Ideal location to visit the Cotswolds, 2mn drive to Broadway and many restaurants around. But the cottage is perfectly equiped if you want to cook and enjoy this very cosy place.
The team is very reactive over communication and help if needed.
Highly recommended !

This was the second time my friends and I have stayed in this cottage. It’s spacious and comfortable and in an excellent location for exploring the Cotswolds. There was a supply of tea, coffee & Prosecco all of which were very welcome.
Both of our visits have been in November. We’d like to return again in the spring or summer to make the most of the pleasant outdoor space.

This is the perfect place for a weekend catching up with friends. There is lots to do in the local area, good eateries and beautiful scenery. Everything we could need was in the property. We had a wonderful time-we’ll undoubtedly return. Thank you.

Lovely House in stunning Village
Absolutely spectacular setting for a house. Lots of great things about the property: lovely garden, very comfy beds. Bathrooms in lovely condition - extremely clean house with almost everything you could need for a shirt stay. WiFi is really slow and didn’t always work and TV has very old interface, Netflix took an age to run and no other apps of use. This house is perfect if you’re looking to get away from technology and get out into the lovely countryside !

A great place to stay with fabulous walks from the door. Beautiful part of the world and a very pretty village.
The house worked very well for 2 children, parents, a granny and an auntie, and was impeccably clean.
Many thanks for a lovely birthday Weekend!

The perfect Cotswolds location
A delightful, comfortable and well equipped cottage in a beautiful quiet village. A short drive or a pleasant walk to Broadway makes this the ideal location for a holiday in the Cotswolds.
The cottage has everything you need and there is plenty of room. We really enjoyed our stay and we will definitely return.

Absolutely gorgeous cottage and perfect location for sightseeing and walking.
Would definitely come back and would highly recommend to others. Nothing to fault in any way. Super place to stay

Comfortable character cottage in enchanting surroundings.
Our party consisted of four adults, a three-year-old and a baby. Swallows Rest suited us all. The children loved the garden, and the house provided a choice of travel cots plus high chair. Having two sitting rooms, one with direct access to the garden, was a bonus.
The kitchen is well-equipped, and we were pleased to find a bag of dishwasher tabs - a holiday cottage first. Comfortable beds and quiet surroundings make for restful nights.
The location is glorious - far-reaching views, Broadway and all its charms just a 10-minute drive away.
We did encounter two problems and had to contact the owners for one and the company for the other. The owners could not have been more helpful and resolved the problem we took to them immediately.

Delightful fully-equipped cottage in a perfect spot to explore the Cotswolds
We had a wonderful break using this outstanding cottage as our base for exploring the Cotswolds. Lots of attention to detail and the property is a delight and short of nothing at all, a true ‘home from home’.
It is situated in a lovely quiet spot and there are numerous walks from the village to be enjoyed. We did that but also found all the well-known (beautiful) Cotswolds towns and villages were within a few minutes drive by car.

Excellent quiet location
Swallows Rest cottage is in a lovely quiet location overlooking fields behind the property. We throughly enjoyed our few days away here, walking in the Cotswolds and relaxing at the cottage when we got back. There is a sun room at the back that we used quite a bit and there’s a good space to eat outside at the back in the garden if the weather is good. The kitchen has everything you might need, including a range cooker and a dishwasher, also a washing machine and dryer. We enjoyed sitting in the separate lounge at night to watch tv. The bedroom right at the top of the house has great views over the fields with lots of bird life to see and it has its own en-suite bathroom. We can thoroughly recommend a stay here if you like a home from home holiday.

Excellent stay at Swallows Rest
We had an excellent stay at Swallows Rest.
We were nervous becuse it was our first trip out of lockdown, but the place was spotless and felt very safe and cleaned throughout.
Lovely garden where you can enjoy a nice meal/drink in the sun, with a view of the sheep in the adjacent field.
The area is wonderful and the location - very close to the the pictoresque Brodway - is perfect.
The hosts were very accomodating and super efficient.
We would definitely consider staying here again.

A lovely homely stay
We were in the area for a family wedding. The accommodation was very clean and had every amenity we needed. The only issue we had was after enquiring by email as to whether there was a walk-in shower due to having older parents, we received a reply confirming there was. But in fact it is an over the bath shower not a walk-in so this was an issue. Otherwise the accommodation was excellent.
4.8
Wonderful setting and set up!
We stayed at Swallows Rest for a family birthday and it was ideal.
The house was clean and comfortable for 6, with a great kitchen, garden and bbq!
Laverton is a quiet village, but is close to all the places we like to visit in the area, and I would happily stay again.
The hosts were also friendly and responded quickly to our queries - thank you!

Perfect bolthole to escape to
We had a fabulous couple of nights in this lovely cottage. We were looking to getaway from home as an escape having being in lockdown for many months and we managed just that. A couple of nights of peace and tranquility in a beautiful location. The Cottage is well equipped and the interior is delightful. We would recommend this Cottage to anyone.

The perfect cottage and location for a weekend away with friends near Broadway
We really enjoyed our stay at Swallows Rest. Set in a beautiful hamlet of Laverton with nice walks around. Plenty of car park space for three cars. Inside was a pleasant surprise. Clean and modern with a bit of vintage style with quality furnishings that made the cottage cosy and welcoming. Two great sitting rooms for socialising - one without a TV so great to sit and look out at the garden with the French doors open whilst having a cuppa. The bedrooms had antique furniture and a Cath Kidston style bedding which was really nice. The large fully equipped modern kitchen diner was a great room too. All superb! No negatives at all. The cottage was situated between Broadway and Winchcombe, so really good for visiting the towns. Great walks around too if you like that sort of thing. Would definitely come back again. In the summer next time to take advantage of the garden space and furniture.
4.8
Walking weekend
Perfect location for a walking holiday with footpaths from the door. Lovely house with all the basics provided. View from second floor wonderful. Only comment is that the house is looking a bit tired in places and could do with some redecoration, not quite what I expected for the price.
4.8
It did not live up to expectations.
We were generally unhappy about the cleanliness of the cottage. The bathroom floors were very dirty, as were some of the kitchen surfaces and indeed some of the crockery. A pair of dirty underpants was found in one of the bedroom drawers, not to mention a lap dancing advertisement!! Although a welcome pack was advertised as being part of the package, it consisted of some milk and a box of dull biscuits. In our experience a welcome pack includes bread, butter, cake of some description, and often eggs and some fruit. Worthy of 2 stars because of the lovely and convenient location.
