Swallows Retreat At Calthwaite Hall Reviews

Emma
We had a lovely time! The accommodation was spotless and well kitted outand the hot tub was just perfect after a long day. The pods are quite quirky and cosy. The Globe Inn was really welcoming, with tasty food and friendly staff. Great stay overall!
James
Cozy and nice
Emma
We really enjoyed our stay! The lodges were spaced out nicely, offering lovely views and plenty of privacy. The hot tub was well-maintained, checked often, which was great. It’s a peaceful spot, perfect for relaxingand we thought it was good value for the price. The peacocks added a bit of fun too!
Sam
The lodge was cosy and had everything we needed, even if the TV signal was a bit patchy-no big deal since we just took our laptop and explored outside most of the time. The hot tub was a real highlight, perfect for relaxing after long walks. We loved the food at The Globe Inn; it’s a bit on the pricey side, but the generous portions and good quality make it worth it, plus there's a discount which is handy. The location is great, close enough to the Lake District walks and about an hour to Windermere. Overall, a lovely stay!
Emma
We loved the spacious, cosy lodge! Had a fantastic break and definitely plan to return next year. Can't wait to come back!
James
We had a lovely stay at Swallows Retreat! The cabin was thoughtfully designed, making the space really comfortable. The appliances were more than enoughand we appreciated the towels for the shower and hot tub. The staff were super friendlyand it was a nice surprise when peacocks wandered by a few times. Location wise, it’s perfect for exploring Keswick and nearby spots. Overall, a great little getaway with some charming touches!
Emma
The Globe Inn was superband the staff really made us feel welcome. Our cabin, however, could do with some repairs-damp and cleanliness issues need sorting out.
Alex Turner
Really enjoyed the stay! The place is cosy yet well-equipped, perfect for a quiet evening. The staff at the pub were super welcoming and helpful. We’ll definitely come back soon!
Emma
The cottage was super cosy and felt just right. Everything in the kitchen worked without issuesand the hot tub was always at a lovely temperature. Heating was spot on too, warming up quickly when we felt chilly first thing or at night. Lovely stay!

Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP
about 10 Miles
This is a museum and art gallery in one and will suit those looking for an educational and cultural day out.  You can explore the fantastic art collection including Fine Art, Decorative Art and Textiles.  If you love nature then this aspect of Tullie House will appeal. The museum holds large and important collections of zoological, botanical and geological material. And for lovers of history there is plenty to wet your appetite here. Tullie House collects a wide range of historic materials including objects, ephemera (printed material), photographs and associated information files.  We think this museum and art gallery are excellent value for money as well.
Ullswater Steamers - CA11 0US
about 15 Miles
This is an award winning Lake District attraction and they have been operating cruisers on Lake Ullswater for over 150 years.  There is no better way to explore the lakes than on water and you could even combine a cruise with a spectacular walk.  For great days out in this region then this attraction is highly recommended and will appeal to couples as well as families.  Corporate groups are also well catered for.
Lake District Wildlife Park - CA12 4RD
about 16 Miles
We love this day out in Cumbria where you're encouraged to "take a fresh look".  Some of the amazing animals you will get to see include the only Canadian Lynx in the UK and you will have the opportunity to help their Lynx Conservation Project.  The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish!  Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
Rydal Mount & Gardens - LA22 9LU
about 21 Miles
Rydal Mount & Gardens are wonderfully situated between Lake Windermere and Rydal Water offering breathtaking scenery. The home of William Wordsworth from 1813 - 1850 the grand home is now lived in by the poets descendents but parts of the house and grounds are open to the public. Why not take a guided tour and see the rooms where many of the famous poems were written. The gardens are beautiful at all times of the year but in the summer offer a spectacular display of colour. There is also a gallery and a tearoom. Discounts are available for group bookings.
