Swallow Cottage Reviews

Debbie

Lovely cottage really enjoyed our stay it was so cosy and warm , the garden was a good size if you take a dog and it's all well enclosed in . It had everything you need to stay to make your stay enjoyable, the toaster needs replacing though you have to stand and hold the button down and when you are trying to do breakfasts for a family it's not ideal , for the price of a new one it's a little thing that just needs replacing. Overall a lovely little quiet , tranquil place and the owners are lovely

We stayed for 5 nights in October with our 2 adult children. The cottage was very well set out with plenty of space for us all. The wifi worked well. The kitchen was well set up with plenty of storage space and a fridgefreezer big enough for a week's shop. Lots of power points and really good heaters for a cosy stay. Also, the log fire was lovely and the owner provided plenty of logs for our stay. Private patio area and garden which was useful. Just a few minor maintenance issues that didn't interfere with our enjoyment. Overall, a very quiet and peaceful stay. Highly recommended.

Kirsty

Fab holiday cottage. Gorgeous airy space and we loved opening the patio doors, having a cuppa and listening to the animals every morning while laying in bed. The cottage had everything we needed for a comfortable stay with the added bonus of a lovely garden and outdoor table to enjoy the outdoors on the warmer evenings. Owners were friendly and helpful. We loved our holiday here and look forward to coming back!

Michael

Everything very good apart from ensuite shower. Too high and door off hinge.thankyou for fresh flowers on dining table.would recommend property very highly to prospective customers.

Their where 4 of us staying, we all thought it was a lovely setting but unfortunately we all thought the cottage was very dated and in need of some attention. The fridge was definitely in need of replacement as you couldnt even put milk in the door as the holding bar was missing, the shower in the ensuite wasnt working and a phone call to the help number on our second day of a weeks stay resulted in no action taken and therefore, we all had to share the one shower for our full stay, which wasnt ideal.

We have just spent 4 nights at swift cottages had a fantastic holiday cottage lovely and clean, beds very comfy and a fabulous big enclosed garden for our dog. We had everything we needed, the owner is lovely we should have been staying in Swallow but there had been a problem with the water tank so we were accommodated in swift cottage which is identical but slightly larger. Thank you for a great time.

Jacqueline

We had a lovely stay for 5 nights at Swallow Cottage for a family break with our dog. The very clean and comfortable cottage is in a great location for exploring Cumbria and Northumberland. The owner was great at responding when we had a small issue and sorted everything straight away. We would definitely stay here again.

A lovely warm cottage, very peaceful courtyard setting. Even though it is on a working farm we were never disturbed by noise. The cottage was very clean with everything in full working order. A lovely large private garden for our dog to enjoy. The owners are lovely people, always willing to stop for a chat. Would definitely recommend this property.

Claire

Facilities were very minimal. The microwave didnt heat anything up, the toaster didnt toast properly. The shower was terrible and cold most of the time, the grill didnt grill properly. The plug in the bath wasnt sufficient so we were unable to properly bath the children. 2 of us came home covered in bed bug bites!

Hayley

Lovely cottage very comfy and warm. Lovely views nice and peaceful. Large enclosed lawned garden which the dogs loved. Would definitely recommend this accommodation.

Denise

People were wonderful and accommodation great. It was Christmas break and you pay more for this. I was disappointed with the Christmas tree. It was less than a foot plastic and shabby. Also first time no welcome pack milk tea bread only small but means a lot. I take my own but I didn't have tea bags. The lady was lovely and gave us some I asked about shop but would have been nice to be there. I think the other many stays we have had created a minimum expectation. The heating was fab, had lots of loggs for logg burner It was amazing to have a morning coffee with the sounds of sheep and cows actual working farm . The hosts were lovely. The place was very clean and comfortable

Stephen

Our stay was cut short due to one of our party having an accident. The owners of Swallow Cottage could not be more helpful as they assisted us with our injured party.

Love staying here. Really nice place and run by lovely people. Highly recommend for a relaxing break. The only thing I don't love is the shower pressure. Lol

Rachel

Swallow Cottage was in the perfect location to visit some lovely places. The homeowner was on site and available to help if you needed it which was reassuring. The beds were super comfy and it was great to have 2 bathrooms in a relatively small property. Great enclosed garden which would be perfect in the summer. The wood burner is lovey and makes the space cosy. My only slightly negative comment is that parts of the property are a little tired. The wind and cold does blow through the window and door panes in the living area and twin bedroom which could do with resealing. There was also a lack of baking trays and some other pots and pans and a working tin opener. That being said, this wouldn't put me off and I am likely to stay again.

Very happy with our stay overall. Nice property and lovely area. Only small point was the living area looked bigger on the pictures than it was in reality. However the garden was a great size.

Lovely cottage. We had a lovely holiday. Dogs loved the garden. Very clean. There was a couple maintanance issues but nothing major. The wall light in the living room was not working and a bit of water leaking from the fridge. But that didn't effect our stay at all. That was definitely one of our favourite places to stay. Very nice owners and good communication. Thank you.

Dominic

We have been here before. Plenty of room for us and we loved staying there. Will stay again in the future

The cottage was lovely and comfortable however we were inundated with flies throughout our stay. The master bedroom patio doors were sealed closed so we couldnt air the room and any means of escape should there be a fire in the hallway was removed as a result. The hot tub was available and we used it a couple of times, sadly though it was in a poor state of disrepair with loose and broken water jets. Location was lovely and the amenities were great but sadly it was overshadowed by the flies.

Great cottage great stay would recommend and hopefully will return in the future

Victoria

Lovely cottage that was just perfect for us. Nice enclosed garden for the dogs which was a perfect sun trap. Good local wood walk for the dogs, just over railway line, turn right at the cottages down the lane onto the pathway into the wood, away from the sheep for an off lead walk. We were warm and snug in comfortable beds.

Ronnie

Property is exactly as per description. Stayed with our 2 young grandkids who the owners allowed to go into barns to see the newly born calves and the farm tractor. Very nice touch from the owners.

Mrs Gill

Ideal location for exploring and perfect for those, like us who like to bring their dogs on holiday. The large enclosed garden was perfect and the owners very friendly.

Welcoming and friendly owners provided guidance regarding local amenities and good dog walking routes within the area. The cottage was ideal for our needs and provided an excellent base for our day trips. WiFi was good throughout the cottage and TV Reception was stable. In general the cottage was ideal for a peaceful, relaxing stay.

The cottage was lovely and cosy with comfy beds and everything we needed. The area was lovely with beautiful walks nearby. Because of covid we couldn't use the hot tub because it is shared with other units which was disappointing but we still had a fab time

Rebecca

The place was easy accessible to discover Cumbria and good walks. The shops in Brampton are great to visit and not far from Carlisle.

William

The Host was very friendly and helpful. Cosy Cottage, everything was provided for a relaxing week. This was are second visit to the Cottage because there is do much to do and see in the area.

Andrew

Apart from the back door there were no opening windows in the kitchen dinner area. When extremely hot only option was to open the door to the patio area.

A great holiday find in a beautiful part of the country. There were loads of great things to do around. The cottage was exactly as advertised, it was also clean and tidy and equipped with everything we needed. The owner was lovely and accommodating.

Caroline

Good base for exploring Hadrian's Wall, Solway coast etc. Well equipped kitchen and great enclosed garden which was perfect for our puppy. Owners were very welcoming. Ample parking, seating, hot water and towels...all important for a family holiday. Would definitely return.

Swallow cottage was fab for our needs. Sparkling clean, with a warm welcome on arrival at a safe social distance by the owner. The cottage is well equipped and the double bed was super comfy. It was also great having our own enclosed and private garden for the dogs to run about in safely. Great location and a lovely get away.

Daniel

Brilliant service from Sykes and also the owners of the cottage. The cottage was very nice and well worth the money. Ran out of wood for the burner on the last night and the lovely owner brought some round for us. Good quiet location. Only thing at fault was the pressure of the hot water but it was useable and it was a perfect weekend. Will definitely be visiting again!

Tracey

Swallow Cottage is lovely. A real home from home with a wonderful log burner in the lounge and logs provided by the fantastic owners. There is an enclosed garden with the cottage that was great for the dogs. We were lucky to see some baby lambs too that had just been born. The owners were happy for us to go into the lambing sheds to have a look and for the kids to hold the lambs. The weather was atrocious but we still managed to find stuff to do and then each evening we battened down the hatches with the log burner and Netflix . Would highly recommend

Lovely cosy cottage.

An excellent cottage to spend a peaceful relaxing few days had everything we needed. My only criticism would be the towels could have included a bath sheet but we went & bought a couple so not a big deal. Also I had read the previous reviews & took my own hairdryer as one is not provided. All in all a lovely place & if we went back to that area we would certainly rebook.

Caitlin

My partner and I have just came back for a lovely week at this property, its normally difficult for us finding somewhere that allows us to bring our dog but the family that own this are very accommodating to both us and our pet. definitely recommend this listing as it's very relaxing and comfortable, the cottage we had is perfect for couples with pets.

Godfrey

The owners very cheerful and helpful, they told us about the nearest beaches. The Carlisle cathedral, local parks and shops and the cottage had everything for the kids dvd player and dvds, books and about all the bbq stand cause on bank holiday we had a BBQ.

Absolutely enjoyed our break here, the owners are very helpful and very friendly they even put a trampoline in garden for kids so that's a 1010 from them! I would definitely recommend this cottage if you want a very relaxing, calm holiday. I only have one very tiny comment to make is that we took our dogs with us and they shed there fur abit I would of liked to have had a little vacuum cleaner in the property 7 days is long time to go without vacuuming with 2 dogs. I'm only saying this cos I'm a cleaning freak!!!. Overall it was gorgeous cottage would very highly recommend it to all we will definitely be going back in future, cant wait till next time.

Lovely relaxing break,john and marble are the perfect host nothing was too much trouble for them, lovely couple. Woulld definitely go back.
