Peaceful retreat

Loved everything about Swallows Rest. It is such a peaceful location, so clean, had a feel of nostalgia and I felt very safe. The artwork is beautiful. I visit the area at least a few times a year and hope to stay here again.Jo Dee

Beautiful peaceful retreat

We came for our daughter’s graduation from UDel and even though it was a little far out of town it was the perfect getaway to chill out between events. Host were great and place was clean and very nicely appointed. We would definitely recommend and return! Goats were so fun to interact with!

Idyllic

We've stayed at Swallow's Rest often and it never fails to charm us all over again. It's well situated but feels like the country with the farm smells, the rolling grass. Everything we need is included in the place. And we like the host a lot.

Beautiful and quaint cottage

Exceptionally peaceful location, situated on a very scenic farmstead. This well appointed and wonderfully decorated cottage had everything we needed for a great 2 day stay. The owners were especially accommodating and friendly. We will stay here again soon.

Enjoyable rural getaway

This is a perfect place to get away from the city for a few days. We used it as a base to visit Longwood (10-15 minutes away) and Chanticleer gardens. Henry was a friendly and helpful host.
