The bustling market town of Penrith, once the capital of Cumbria, enjoys a central position between the Lake District and North Pennines and is ideally placed for taking in all that the region has to offer. Renowned for its wealth of specialist shops, the sandstone buildings of Penrith hide intriguing yards, lanes and alleyways, with a myriad of attractive cottages, gardens and little shops. With a wide choice of excellent pubs, hotels, restaurants and entertainment, Penrith also offers a museum, and Millennium Trails round the historic city streets. Within easy reach of the town is Rheged – an innovative visitor centre with shops, restaurants, exhibitions and a giant cinema screen showing educational and informative films. Brougham Castle (The Windsor of the North), Long Meg and her daughters (the 3rd largest stone circle in England) and the historic city of Carlisle are all a short drive away, as is the stunning scenery of both the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales.

Previous visitors' comments about Swallow's Nest:
Great welcome, relaxed approach, every need had been thoughtfully anticipated, with Easter Eggs for the weekend as an extra to the welcome pack. The holiday was very relaxing, with this property very well situated for the northern lakes and the Eden Valley. The warmth and quality of the property made for a relaxing, enjoyable evening after a good day enjoying the countryside.
Mr Jones, Towcester, March 2013
Quiet location, comfortable, very clean and friendly owner.
Mrs Martin, York, March 2013
Swallow's Nest was the perfect base to explore the lakes. The cottage was cosy especially with the log burner. The welcome pack on arrival was greatly appreciated! We had a fantastic holiday and will definitely be returning to Swallow's nest.
Miss Sloggett, Frinton-on-Sea, February 2013
Very stylish, everything that we needed was there and very warm and cosy. Excellent position for getting around the Lakes.
