Lovely house and good local amenities. Not an ideal location if you don't have a car as nearest town is about an hour's walk on roads. Owner was always quick to respond. Would rent again

Lovely property, plenty of amenities.

Well equipped Lodge with plenty of space. There is a pub, The Buck Inn, within walking distance approx 1 mile and is highly recommended. Food good and staff very friendly. Bedale has all the facilities you will need but will need to drive.

We had a fabulous time staying at Swallow Lodge. The lodge is set in a picturesque location with 360 degrees views of the Yorkshire countryside it was truly breathtaking. The lodge was as described though actually seemed larger than the pictures, really impressive, plenty of space. The village of Thornton Watlass was lovely, really friendly and welcoming had an amazing meal in the local pub The Buck Inn on the first night. Loads to see and do will definitely be going back.

Excellent few days really enjoyed the house and the area David very helpful throughout.

Will most likely return to the lodge. It had everything we needed.

We had a lovely time at the Swallow Lodge! It's in a really pretty remote location and there was loads of space for us all. Would recommend you bring a few pots, pans and knives if you plan to cook a lot and also some bottled water as the tap water was a little bit smelly. Otherwise it was ideal.

Overall a good stay. A few niggles with the property which could easily be rectified with a bit of TLC, but nothing that would spoil your holiday. Rural location close to the village

A great trip glad to get away. This cabin is great for a different stay away great views and a very peaceful setting. The cabin is very cozy with underfloor heating down stairs. If you plan to cook a lot bring some extra pots and pans and a sharp knife but other than that a great venue.

The property was very unclean, cobwebs and dead spiders everywhere, smelt foisty and seemed like no one had been in there for a very long time. Old blood stains on the mattresses and pillow cases seen when stripping off the bedding. Toilet was blocked. The water stunk to the point of not being able to wash with it let alone drink it.

Straightforward process to rent and access the house

This was a gem of a find ,everything was perfect, the lodge did not disappoint, beautiful surroundings, the lodge was stunning had everything you needed and more. It was very clean and was lovely and warm just perfect cant recommend enough. Thank you for a wonderful time

Firstly the property was very well maintained and clean. There was no issues and delays in the process of getting the keys of the house and everything went smoothly. The log cabin is located in a beautiful countryside with amazing views and many attractions nearby. Overall the experience was amazing and I would highly recommend this to anyone who is wanting to take a break or team building exercises.

Swallow Lodge is very comfortable, well equipped and conveniently situated for visits to Ripon and surrounding villages and places of interest. Had a very pleasant stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Swallow Lodge which is surrounded by the stunning Yorkshire countryside. The lodge was very cosy and had all the equipment we needed for a pleasant stay. This was the first holiday with our 6 month old baby and Swallow Lodge lived up to our expectations for a memorable break. Swallow Lodge is in a very convenient location as it is close to a number of villages and towns within a short driving distances. I would highly recommend Swallow Lodge in particular if you have children as there is a big garden surrounding it for them to safely play in. David the owner was also very helpful and was on hand to answer any of our questions which was very reassuring. We will definitely look to use the lodge again in the future.

What an amazing property, the location is absolutely stunning. Local villages are in walking distance. A fantastic place to stay.
