10 guests' feedbackGood service, comfortable stay.
Our 3 night stay in the Melody Cottage was lovely and we lacked nothing while we were there. The complimentary craft sherry was a lovely surprise. We arranged in advance with Ansie for wood for the fireplace and it was nice to be able to make a fire just as soon as we stepped in and drive away the cold. The beautiful garden is a big bonus and it was nice to watch the chickens that walked around peacefully. Everything was neat and we would definitely recommend Swallowtail to others.
The hosts were happy to go over and beyond what was expected. And a special thanks for doing our laundry on New Years Day.
We had a beautiful stay and would recommend your place anytime. Warm and friendly hosts. I absolutely love your place.
Well equipped, lovely bed and linen. Private and spacious.
The destination, although quite remote, is a magical place to visit full of surprises. The view and gardens are amazing. Be there on a Saturday to attend the markets. I preferred the smaller one.
Very neat. We had a great time and I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you to the website and Ansie of Swallowtail Country Estate.
Friendly accommodation in beautiful surroundings.
Amazing people who run Swallowtail. Beautiful, clean, helpful and very generous to our youngsters.
Had a great time with our friends, safe, cozy accommodation. Very neat. Would highly recommend.
