The Swallows Rest Bed & Breakfast

Wonderful relaxing stay, went for a short 2 night break with my cousin to enjoy some girls time, shopping. Sam was a fabulous host. Nothing too much trouble. Country views from our twin room were really serene and peaceful, sheep grazing right outside in the courtyard that was available for guests use. Breakfast was delicious and perfectly served. The room for extremely quiet, which was our number one requirement when looking for a place to stay as we were fed up with noisy hotels in the past. we went into Stamford which was lovely with a good selection of shops. Hopefully we will return soon

We were very pleasantly surprised by the quality of our room and the obvious attention to detail. Sam was a wonderful hostess. The continental breakfast was great - I can recommend the oats and eggs on toast if you're not staying on a weekend.

This was a wonderfully relaxing stay - we enjoyed going for walks in the village, some downtime in the garden, and it’s well-positioned to explore Northamptonshire. The property owner was very friendly and helpful, and provides a lovely breakfast. Definitely on my short-list of places to return to.

Excellent experience and a wonderful host.. Booked at short notice and so happy with our choice. Will be recommending to friends and fully intend to return for a longer stay. It was that good !

The Swallows Rest is set in a rural village off the beaten track, but close to the centre. The Garden room was a quiet well equiped room overlooking the garden with a very comfortable bed and a good quality, spacious bathroom. The breakfast, chosen the night before, covers all the options and was both plentiful and delicious. We chose to have it in our room but you can eat it in a common area shared with the other guests from the other two rooms. There is also an honesty bar for snacks and other drinks. Sam was a very welcoming and hospitable host. All in all a lovely short stay!

We went here as a night of luxury ahead of 4 nights camping at the Greenbelt festival. From the moment we arrived we knew we'd hit the jackpot. A warm welcome, easy parking and a fantastic setting in a truly beautiful village. The room was fantastic and beautifully decorated - and the inclusion of a long deep bath with a plentiful supply of hot water was just what my back needed after a lengthy drive ahead of sleeping in a tent. The way the place is run relaxes you from the start - including an honesty box for snacks and chilled beers. The local village has 2 great friendly pubs and a co-op and is stunning. To be honest I'd already decided this would get 10/10 for me (or 5 stars) before we had the breakfast. After the breakfast I would give it 12/10 or 6 stars (but can't alas). A lovely selection of properly sourced local ingredients, healthy and delicious. As a meat eater I was a bit dubious about the lack of a 'full english', but the options we're nutritious, and beautifully presented - and a delight. Highly recommended and a jewel of a find. Thanks for a fantastic stay.
