Robert Louis Stevenson's family rented Swanston Cottage as a holiday retreat between 1867 and 1880. The village of Swanston grew up around Swanston Farm and originally consisted of ten thatched cottages. These included Swanston Cottage which was built in 1761. The thatched cottages were renovated in the 1960s and the site has further been developed to include a range of leisure facilities.
