The location of Swallows Nest is fantastic. Birchover is a peaceful Peak District village.

Nearby are more craggy rock formations, including Cratcliffe Tor with its medieval hermit’s cave and Robin Hood’s Stride, all surrounded by breath-taking landscapes. The Limestone Way is a wonderful footpath to help you explore the Peak District hills.
Jump in the car and you’ll soon be at the National Tramway Museum, Matlock Bath’s cable cars, Caudwell’s Mill Craft Centre, Chatsworth House, Haddon Hall or even pop to Bakewell to sample its famous and delicious Pudding.

Mr Green
This is a lovely cottage in a very good location for exploring the Peak District and its popular towns. The cottage is very well equiped with a garden that attracts many species of birds and other wildlife. This is certainly one of the best self-catering holidays we have had. A very helpful and friendly owner too.

Swallow's Nest cottage is perfectly formed, comfortable and the owner is a friendly, helpful host. This is our second holiday in beautiful Birchover, which says it all! An especial delight is the variety of wildlife- notably birds- you can watch while having breakfast walks from the door are excellent, and there's a reasonable bus service to Bakewell or Matlock if you want to be environmentally friendly.
