Superbly equipped and situated, lovely relaxing holiday,.made even better by the amazing welcome pack. We've been to many holiday homes in Brundle, but Swallowdale was the best by far.

Could not fault our first ever one week stay at Swallowdale!! Everything we could have ever wanted had been thought of and the Cottage is so spotlessly clean and comfortable it is much like 'Home from Home'. The Welcome Pack was a really super touch and contained so many 'must have' products. Fishing from the decking was comfortable and enhanced by Ian's provision of multi-rod rests, a bait fridge and easy access to the storage shed. Overall, a wonderful holiday in a great location.

The welcome and attention to detail and keeping you informed if you can access the property early or leave later than the times quoted on booking, by Ian,the owner was first class It feels as though you are in your own home or the home of friends as their guest . The furnishings,crockery,utensils,white goods, electrical equipment,linen etc is to a very high standard . I was so impressed by the overall comfort,welcome and the property itself that I booked again for next year straightaway as others clearly feel the same about Swallowdale as I did

We have stayed at Swallowdale several times. It is lovely and comfortable and spotlessly clean. Everything you need is provided for a quiet week away, fishing or sitting on the deck watching the boats go by. A nice touch is the welcome box which even includes wine and chocolate! Also, if we lived locally, I would be asking for the number for the cleaner! Highly recommended.

As soon as we walked through the door, Swallowable felt like home. Swallowable has everything you need and more, from the fantastic welcome pack to the extensive kitchen equipment, nothing has been left out. If you are into fishing, there is a shed with bait fridge and lockable storage and even wooden rod rests that make it so easy. Swallowable was spotlessly clean, beds were comfy and towels etc provided. We have stayed at quite a few places on the broads and this was by far the best. It was great having a parking space outside your door. The fishing the week we went was quite poor but there was a lot of flooding and Storm Ciaran, so wasn't really surprised but this in no way detracted from Swallowable. Swallowdale is a place I would readily return to, highly recommended.

Just got back from a week at Swallowdale, its an amazing holiday home its got everything you need, so many nik naks and handy things that just dont come in other places to stay, all the places we have stayed in we have said " theres no this or no that " well at Swallowdale they provide it all " the care and thought gone into making your holiday is unbelievable, if this kind of holiday is your thing ( lodges and fishing ) you will not be disappointed. The welcome folder is soooooo well put together, informative down to the finest detail. The idea of having somewhere for bank sticks is amazing and it works so gobsmackingly well, the list is just endless to what you get here but not anywhere else.......really. Try it, im sure you will love it. We're are already booked in for next year........so looking forward to it. Derrick.

This is most certainly five star accommodation. Comfortable, clean with all modern amenities. Welcome basket on arrival was very thoughtful. Riverside location beautiful. We had a truly relaxing week and the fishing was excellent. We will be returning next September for our 6th visit! Highly recommended!
