The Swifts' Nest

The Swifts' Nest: North Yorkshire

By the village of Bolton Abbey, there's no denying that this 1744 farmhouse offers impressive valley views. Beyond the stone facade, this pet-friendly home has classic fireplaces, four-poster beds, and roll-top bathtubs, where the en-suites offer toasty underfloor heating. Outdoors, how about a post-barbecue soak in the hot tub? While the uneven track isn't a suitable driveway for low-slung cars, it's a proper taste of country life. Make sure to add the likes of Skipton Castle and Hesketh Farm Park to your itinerary.

Home truths:
*For those with reduced mobility, there's a ground-floor bedroom and bathroom here, but there's one small step into that bedroom.
*Please note, the hot tub is serviced daily between 9am and 4pm. No access inside the home is required.
*There's free off-road parking for up to three cars. We recommend hiring a car to get the most out of your stay. The track leading to this home is long, uneven, and not suitable for low-slung cars.
*If you're travelling with little ones, your host can provide a cot, high chair, and stair gate for free. You'll need to request them in advance.
*You'll receive a complimentary welcome pack, containing fresh coffee, tea, sugar, milk, and biscuits.
*The bathtubs all have hand-held showers.
