Company information
Swallows Rest is our first project. We have loving converted what was a derelict old stone barn into a beautiful cottage. We obtained planning permission in 2017, since then we have had 2 children and got married! We finally opened our doors on the 4th January 2023 and we already have many bookings, we look forward to welcoming many guests in the future to the beautiful location and surrounding attractions.
Property information
Located 4 miles from the idyllic market town of Leek, Swallows Rest is an 18th century stone barn which has been lovingly restored, oozing character and boasting modern living facilities in the heart of the English countryside. Sitting on the border of the Peak District National Park, Derbyshire Dales and the Staffordshire Moorlands you will never be short of fantastic walking trails, rock climbing opportunities or visiting the nearby towns and villages. With outstanding views reaching for miles across the rolling hills of the Peak District, enjoy your favourite beverage or locally sourced bbq delights while relaxing in front of a crackling fire, seeking out the abundance of local wildlife such as buzzards, deer, barn owls, kestrels to name just a few we see often out in the valley.
