This amazing Victorian garden was created by James Bateman for his collection of plants from around the world. A visit takes you on a global journey from Italy to the pyramids of Egypt, a Victorian vision of China and a re-creation of a Himalayan glen.
The garden features collections of rhododendrons, summer bedding displays, a stunning Dahlia Walk in late summer and the oldest surviving golden larch in Britain, brought from China in the 1850s.
The Geological Gallery shows how Bateman's interests went beyond botany. Opened in 1862 the unique hallway is a Victorian attempt to reconcile geology and theology.
There are narrow gravel paths and over 400 steps throughout the garden.

"Perfect location. Lovely place, perfectly kept "

"Great location. Very handy for many of the larger towns in the area. Property was very clean and comfortable and would highly recommend. Great base for exploring the area. "

"Absolutely fantastic property and location, Brenda, the host was very helpful throughout the booking process and during our three week stay, she really couldn’t do enough for us. Swallows Barn is easily accessible from Congleton with a short drive through Buglawton and was a home from home on our stay."

"We booked the cottage for a week's stay whike work was being done on our home. It was a real home from home too. Everything's there, including electric blankets to warm the beds. Although thd heating kept the cottage toasty, we turned most off except living room and bathroom. Loved the log burner too, a real focal point. Internet provided was good, a bonus as the phone signal there is poor, as is most of the local area due to hills etc. Would certainly recommend."

"Love this place , would definitely recommend to everyone "

"We absolutely loved staying here. Recently renovated, lovingly kept and with excellent communication. Thank you for having us and giving memories with friends that we will cherish."

"Excellent home from home facilities. I like to stay here as I often work locally but live far away. Well equipped kitchen lets me eat better than if I stayed in a hotel or B&B. Friendly & efficient host/service"

"Warm Well equipped kitchen with everything you could need Comfortable beds Quiet Great shower Very clean"

"Very good location for 6-10 mile hikes with wonderfully far reaching views on a clear day,The house was fine however would benefit from having more mugs and glasses, also its own heating controls. Very helpful owners live in one end of the building "
