Sam was an excellent host, very friendly. The Swallows was a large room with a large bathroom. It was nicely decorated and very clean. The breakfast was very good. Parking on site. Desk in the room and wifi were both useful. Large TV which I didn't get around to trying.
For me the pillows and mattress were a little too firm. The large bed was actually two singles joined together so there was a join in the centre. I chose this accommodation based on its excellent reviews and it looking like a quiet place where I could get an early night and so I'd have preferred a 'quiet after 10pm rule' as I could hear various comings and goings until around 10.30, eg people going into the garden, and people in the dining area, I understand that 10.30pm is not late for some people and other people staying on other occasions might not hear the same as me, I was also unlucky with hearing what I think were birds tapping on roof until very late.

The hosts were lovely and couldn't be more accommodating. Sam was very kind and booked a restaurant, which was perfect for me and my young daughter. The room was really clean and comfortable, and we were welcomed with freshly baked cookies which was a nice gesture. The opportunity to meet other guests at breakfast was a lovely addition to our stay. My daughter loved the location, specifically the various wildlife we encountered during our stay in the village.
There was nothing about our stay that we didn't like.

The facilities were excellent nothing was to much for trouble for our host Sam. She even booked has into a nearby restaurant for dinner. The breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed getting to chat with our fellow guests. Would visit again
It was in a quant little village lots of walks nearby and local vineyards which we looked out over. The rooms were excellent light and airy. Bathroom shower was super too. Had the best nights sleep on the huge super king bed. Little mini bar in room well stocked with local beers and wine if you fancied a tipple. The host Sam was so helpful and cheery and nothing was to much trouble we will definitely be back

“Home from home” is a reasonable phrase to use. The bedroom is spacious, comfortable and spotlessly clean. Set in a quiet rural location within easy walking distance of pubs, restaurants and a small bakery/coffee shop. The hostess is lovely and attentive. Off road parking is great too, on a clean gravel drive very close to the entrance, so no lugging of cases for long distances! Food was very pleasant, with lots of choice to suit all tastes. Very reasonable pricing. Exactly what we were looking for.
Nothing really! It may be worth mentioning that the setting is a small (very lovely) village, but with narrow streets, so motor homes or larger vans could not negotiate the streets easily.

I had a wonderful stay! The breakfast was absolutely amazing - fresh, delicious, and a perfect start to the day. The host was incredibly helpful and friendly, always ready to assist with a warm smile. The place was spotless, stylish, and felt very welcoming. The village itself was adorable, full of charm and kind-hearted people who were always happy to help. I especially appreciated the peaceful atmosphere and beautiful surroundings – it was the perfect getaway. Highly recommended!

We stayed in The Swallow room. It was spacious and cosy, and the bed was super comfortable, with lovely cotton sheets. The room and en suite were very clean, and the shower was great. The hosts were incredibly friendly and accommodating, and nothing was too much trouble. The location was good, allowing easy travel by car to a number of towns and villages nearby. The breakfast was excellent, very tasty with a large number of options, also catering for vegetarian guests. Overall, this is easily one of the best stays away we've had. And we'll most definitely be back soon. Highly recommend.
Nothing. It was perfect.

The Swallows is one of the best B&Bs my husband and I have ever stayed at and we would highly recommend it to anyone. The hosts were very welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Our room was fantastic, it was spacious and very clean, the bathroom had a roll top bath and a large shower and was also very spacious. There is a garden area for guests which is very well maintained and is a lovely place to sit on a Summer's evening. Breakfast was excellent.
Nothing.

If all the B&B in all the towns and villages were like this then the world would be a delightful, better place. If you're looking in this area, then book now! A great location, sumptuous room, including ensuite, with added extras plus great staff (Sam et al). Perfect breakfast provision, with personal egg preferences alongside cooked (weekend) and extensive continental (weekday) options. Housekeeping and similar service exceptional. Very good value.

The rooms were beautifully decorated and very comfortable with thoughtful touches provided. Brigstock is a beautiful village and the views from the garden room were lovely. Delicious breakfast too. Sam was very friendly and helpful.
There are waterfall shower heads in the walk in shower so unless you’re washing your hair a shower cap is required! However there is also a hand held shower option in the bath.
