"The Swallows Retreat was absolutely amazing for our hen weekend! The hot tub was a huge hit, and the house had more than enough room for all 20 of us. The views of the Cooley Mountains were gorgeous. Cannot recommend it enough!"

Reviews
We loved the house the host was very nice let us go decorate the house day before we our stay, fab house.
We had a fantastic stay in the Swallows Retreat. The house is large, spacious and very comfortable- perfect for a larger group. We didn't realise when booking that it also includes two 'pods' which sleep an additional four, so that was a nice addition. Thoughtful touches like wood/coal for the fire and bathrobes for each guest were much appreciated. I would highly recommend.
