Please note: Bathroom is stocked with Noble Isle products for guests to use - Message from owner *I have chosen Walpole Award Winning Noble Isle products for The Loft @ Swallows because, as with everything else in this special space, I wanted a quality, luxury product which is cruelty-free, vegan friendly and sustainable (from manufacturing through to packaging processes) and also entirely made from UK products. Many products you find in the hospitality industry are cheap and strip your hair and skin of moisture to the point I always take my own products on holiday. Noble Isle shone above all other products I tested including a very well known competitor for luxury accommodation. I hope you enjoy these fabulous products as much as we do.
