We work closely with owners and housekeepers to ensure that guests have a truly memorable stay. We pride ourselves on our local knowledge, whether it be of a local farm shop, cycle routes or events. Our aim is to enable guests to have the opportunity to enjoy authentic Cotswold experiences, from the Cotswold experts, in a lovely Cotswold property that suits their needs.

Swallows Rest is a deceptively spacious, mid-terrace Cotswold stone cottage in the sleepy village of Laverton, just a stone’s throw from Broadway. Sleeping 6 guests across 4 bedrooms, with a generously sized kitchen/diner, living room, sunroom and a pretty enclosed garden, this is a wonderful spot for a family holiday. There are beautiful, rural views from the top floor, and you may even catch sight of the Gloucestershire Warwickshire steam train as it puffs its way between Cheltenham and Broadway. Swallows Rest is a real home away from home offering a traditional style that is warm, welcoming, and comfortable. There’s a spacious, open-plan kitchen-diner, separate living room and a light and airy sunroom which opens onto the enclosed rear garden. There are 3 well-appointed bedrooms on the first floor including one with an antique four-poster bed and a family bathroom, on the 2nd floor the 4th bedroom with an ensuite bathroom and lovely views.
