About the host

Hosted by David.

Host profile image
I'm a very proud Yorkshire man! born & bread in West Yorkshire, I have been a self employed business man since 1981, I presently live in Leeds and visit Swallow Lodge whenever we don't have guests there.

Why they chose this property

Swallow Lodge is a very unique place, there are few if any similar properties in the UK, the design was drawn up from my ideas by a company called "Pioneer Log Homes" in British Columbia, west Canada whom I visited some years ago, the timber used to build the cabin is Western Red Cedar and the logs you see in the photographs were trees growing in a forest in South Wales ten years ago.

What makes this property unique

The unique benefits of Swallow Lodge is that it is thermally insulated because of the timber used, it keeps the warmth in during the winter months and an ambient temperature during the summer, the location is to die for, from the terrace on a clear day you can see the wind turbines in Redcar bay some 47 miles away, the Yorkshire Dales are on your doorstep and from the front door you can see the Yorkshire moors.
