Swinton Manse & Gardens

We loved the location of the house. The house was lovely, quite quirky and full of old charm. We had a comfortable stay and we enjoyed exploring the local area as the countryside was beautiful. We had a lovely meal at the local pub which is only a short walk from the house.

It's a lovely old house but we felt that the kitchen could benefit from being cleaner and more organised. The garden is lovely but quite overgrown. The patio area and the garden furniture need attention as it would be very pleasant to sit in the garden.

We had an excellent short break with family and friends. The house Was exactly that we needed to be all together and have a lovely time. We will definitely came back.

This property was perfect for our family reunion. We have stayed here before and will definitely stay here again. The bedrooms are spacious with comfy beds. There is a huge lounge with loads of comfy armchairs. The kitchen is large and well equipped, with a big wooden dining table - we got 16 people round it. The manse is a wonderful mixture of history, eccentricity and playfulness and has a lovely garden with barbeque and seating. We all felt very at home here and everyone, old and young, had a great time. The host John is very helpful.

There was nothing we did not like!

Massive property with plenty of room for large family gatherings very old and individual buildings we loved it and our time there will be coming back

we enjoyed the garden a lot as it was sunny although the grass could have been cut / garden better kept. we really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to others looking for a relaxing weekend with friends.

the bins were full by the time we got there so there was nowhere to put the rubbish. and no local bins/tip. so we just had to leave the rubbish as neatly as possible. there was a lack of pint glasses too.

We knew from the pictures and the messages that this would be a real one-off with some quirky features and that's exactly what it was. Loads of space, lovely rooms and plenty of utensils etc.

We couldn't fathom the second cooker, and the boiler smelt very strongly of oil.

Good location, quirky layout

Less mobile of our party were unable to shower as downstairs shower had high stop up into it and upstairs was shower over bath. Lots of rugs which were potential trip hazards

Location was great. The rooms were all a great size and the size of the whole property was huge. Unique property but excelleny value for the number of people it can sleep.

The property could have been cleaner.

Good for large group of family and low cost

Short of toilets
