The owners Debbie and Derek have created the most amazing Barn Conversion. It was certainly 5 star quality . Everything was just perfect and you felt as if you were the first people to stay there .......

“Staying at the location for this ...”

Staying at the location for this property was ideal for getting around the area. The property was excellent and met our needs perfectly. It is certainly one of the very better ones in which we have stayed (have used self catering accommodation now for over 30 years). The thoughtful development of the barn by the owners is to a very high standard and they who live adjacent to the property are extremely welcoming. We really could find nothing to be critical about.

“The cottage was beautifully kept ...”

The cottage was beautifully kept and a credit to the owners. The only thing I didn't like about Sykes was the amount of marketing emails (which I have now opted out of ). If there was just one every 3 weeks I would probably read them but an email every 4 or 5 days is overwhelming and just feels like spam.

“Swallows nest Is a cute cottage ...”

Swallows nest Is a cute cottage wich had everything we needed. Debbie provided us with a cot, highchair and stair gate for our 7 month old baby. It was clean and comfortable and we had a great time. One downside was that the rooms are very small and we couldn't fit the small travel cot in and close the bedroom door so we had to move our double bed up to the wall so the cot would fit next to our bed. But besides for that, all was perfect! Thank you Debbie and family for the wonderful friendly service. Gerald and Rebecca

We liked the warm welcome and helpful, caring attitude of the owners. Throughout the week, they were really helpful when needed. The situation of the cottage also provides easy access to the marvellous scenery and places to visit within the Lake District.

“Outstanding!”

We have stayed several times at Swallows Nest and each time it has been perfect! The cottage is contemporary and stylish yet feels very homely and cosy! The cottage has everything you could want and two bathrooms make it ideal for a family. The hosts are so friendly and accommodating and nothing is too much trouble. Penrith with Booths supermarket is less than 10 mins away as is Ullswater. Fabulous and we cannot wait to stay again!

“Great location for access to M..... but sooo quiet”

If you are wanting a location that can access the Lake District and beyond, this is your place. It may have tight bedrooms but the view from the upstairs and space to spread out is great after a day of running around. The kitchen was better than my own at home.

“Simply the Best, better than all the rest...”

This was our first visit to both the Lake District and to Swallow's Nest. We didn't get the best of weather but despite that we still went out each day to explore the area and admire the stunning scenery. We felt totally at home in the beautiful cottage and nothing was too much trouble for the owners to make our stay so comfortable and enjoyable. We enjoyed the freedom to come and go as we pleased and, whilst our accommodation was in a peaceful rural location, we were only minutes away from nearby pubs and Penrith was just a short drive away. We look forward to making a return visit in the future. The property is upside down insomuch that the two bedrooms (one with en suite) and bathroom are on the ground floor with stairs leading up to the living room, kitchen and dining area.

“Fabulous, Welcoming, cosy, in easy reach of all the lakes have to offer.”

We stayed here for a week in March and were made ever so welcome by our hosts. A lovely guide around the property and a welcoming drink was a very nice touch. The property has been very well and thoughtfully constructed from and old stable area and everything you need is provided, beds extremely comfortable, even WIFI. It's an upside down design which worked very well for us. Warm throughout with underfloor heating downstairs was always nice to enter after a cold long walking day. Our hosts were always happy to have a chat and see if anything else was needed or chat about the area and events. Very close to the M6 junction 41 exit so no long drive down country lanes to search in the dark. This gives easy access to all parts. We will certainly come back for future stays.

“bliss”

our 4th stop, will not be our last. Debbie does an amazing job with this property, nothing to fault, Wish we could keep it secret so when we want to go we always will be able to, but it deserves to be experienced by many lucky people,

“High quality cottage”

As soon as you enter the cottage the quality of material used is fantastic. Every room is finished to a high standard. The master bedroom and its en suite have heated floors, as does the other bedroom and the main bathroom. Upstairs in the kitchen and lounge which is spacious with comfy seats, the kitchen has everything you need. Upstairs has radiators, the water pressure is fantastic with hot water straight away. The wifi is a little slow to what I'm used to but nothing to get upset about. The owners are very nice, not in your face all the time but there if you need them. The cottage is in a quiet village but close enough to main roads. Overall a great place to go to for a week or a few days.

“A beautiful holiday home.”

Sue and I stayed at Swallows Nest last week and I just wanted to recommend it to anyone looking for a holiday home in the lake district. The house was spotlessly clean, the welcome from Debbie was warm and friendly . I would be quite happy to recommend this property to anyone, in fact I have already done so to several friends.

“Beautiful cottage with excellent facilities”

We stayed in February at Swallow's Nest and could not have been happier with the accommodation. Everything was very stylish, everything had been thought of and we were warm and cosy despite the February chill. The log fire is lovely to snuggle around. The situation is excellent for the northern Lakes with great access to the M6 and a66. Could not have been happier with things.

About the location

PENRITH

Keswick 17 miles; Carlisle 20 miles.

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.
