Reviews
Wonderful views, ideally situated being near to Keswick but also a rural location.
The owners were nice and helpful. The views from the property were lovely and luckily for us we had beautiful weather.
Swallows Nest was very clean and tidy and had excellent facilities. All areas were in good condition and good order. The views were amazing. We loved the fact that the property was not overlooked.
We love the views from this cottage and its near proximity to Keswick and other places of interest. The cottage is always warm and cosy, and the owners are always friendly and helpful.
The cottage was roomy, in excellent condition, in a lovely location and dogs were allowed.
We love staying at Swallows Nest and have done so a number of times. The view is excellent and we like the proximity to Keswick but enjoy the countryside setting and the wildlife in the immediate vicinity. It is easy to feel at home in this cottage; it has everything you could hope for.
We have stayed at Swallow's Nest before, and we chose it again because of it's beautiful views and the quality of the property. It was spotlessly clean and well equipped, with lots of lovely DVD's and music CD's for those occasional wet days. The property has a good layout, good size bedrooms, thick carpets and a lovely gas flame log fire, so is very cosy.
