Lovely spacious cottage and garden

We really enjoyed our stay at Swallow Barn on the edge of the Lake District National Park. The property was a great size and nicely laid out. The garden was lots of fun and a great place to relax in the evening either in the garden lodge, on the deck or patio. The location provides easy access to Kendal, Windermere or Keswick plus the wonderful Haweswater just up the road.

Beautiful place

Just returned from a lovely few days at Swallow barn. House was beautiful, clean and well equipped. The weather was lovely, nice garden for the dog to run around in. We had a trip to Ingleton waterfalls about 35min drive away, stunning place I would recommend. Ahmad was very helpful with any questions we had. Would definitely stay again.

Beautiful place, Amazing setting!

The Swallow Barn is a beautiful place in an amazing setting. It is well appointed, was very clean, and is a great place for a family. The location is great as we could get everywhere in the Lake District we wanted to go in under an hour. Ahmad is a great host, very attentive, and his communication was great before, during, and after our stay. I would highly recommend Swallow Barn.

Lovely stay in beautiful surroundings.

We spent a week with two couples in this lovely house. The house is spacious, has a nice upper floor with a fully equipped kitchen. The garden is beautifully landscaped and has several places to sit or sunbathe. The Saumtally family is very attentive and quick to respond to any queries. We were very lucky with the weather, sunny every day, and as a result had fantastic hikes in the Lake District.

Great base for a relaxing holiday

We had a fabulous stay at Swallow Barn, it was everything we expected. The cottage is well equipped, clean and tidy. The heating was a god send as it was a bit chilly. The weather was perfect for autumn and we enjoyed lots of walks with our dog in and around the South Lakes. Can’t speak highly enough of this property and the attention to detail. Thank for Ahmad and Andrea.

Nice and simple

Nice cottage in a great area for walks and relaxing. The cottage was nice and homely but it could do with some maintenance as the washer wasn’t working and some taps was loose. Short driving distance to the town and lakes which we enjoyed all weekend.

Hi Lewis. The brand new washer dryer that's at the barn was delivered by currys and should have been fitted by them and taken the old one away. They let me down and didn't do it which is why the old one was there and not working so apologies for that- I tried to get you a new one fitted but currys were poor. The taps have worked a little loose as we have just had a brand new worktop fitted in the bathroom and they had to take the sink and taps out to fit it. The plumber hasnt tightened the taps up quite enough so I will get him back to sort that. Thanks for your booking. Cheers

Swallow Barn was every bit as welcoming as it looks in the photos. There were even flowers and chocolates to welcome us! We thought we were off to a good start to our holiday and we we’re wowed every day with the stunning scenery and Sunshine every day, all day. It was our first visit to the Lake District and it definitely won’t be the last. We loved every minute. Swallow Barn was a real home from home, with every convenience at hand. Thank you.
