N.B If you book out The Welcome Swallow accommodation with Bookabach you will have the cabins and lodge to yourselves. The flip side of this is that if there are any other bookings (Even for a single bed) we take The Welcome Swallow off Bookabach for that date. So if the dates you want to stay appear to already be booked please check the booking calender on The Welcome Swallow website for availability of individual rooms &beds as many may still be available for you &your group. If you haven't booked the place out with Bookabach you will not have the place to yourselves.

Although we do provide hand towels, tea towels, cloths, bath mats, sheets, duvets and pillows we do not provide large towels.
