Tranquil Countryside, Abundant Wildlife and Hidden Tourist Gems

On our Doorstep

The Swallow’s Nest lies next to a working arable farm in the East Riding of Yorkshire, surrounded by miles and miles of open countryside.

On our doorstep, there is a golf course, fishing lakes, a water sports centre and an abundance of wildlife.

In the summer months, swallows nest in the nooks and crannies of the farm buildings and you will be able to see them swooping in and out of their nests, feeding their young.

Look out at dusk for our resident barn owl, gliding silently over the fields and for deer, which make a fleeting appearance in our woodland.
