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

What a lovely place to stay, it was so clean and well equipped. Our daughters loved sitting outside and seeing the cows in the field. We will definitely book again.

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.
