    “Thoroughly enjoyed my stay at The Swift.”

    It was beautifully presented, clean warm and cosy. The kitchen was so well appointed , everything you could possibly need for preparing anything from a cuppa to a 5 course meal. Even a pint of milk was provided. Despite my reservations of it being pet friendly and the likelihood of dreadful doggy smell - not a whiff !
