Swallow Reviews

Our stay at the Swallow was very enjoyable and we loved the hot tub. Bed comfortable and facilities good. We met the owner and was very welcoming and showed us the lodges on site. We will recommend the Swallows to friends and family. Thanks to all staff involved who made our stay enjoyable. From Glen and Jackie

We had a lovely break and enjoyed our stay, the hot tub was great and the accommodation was tiny but well designed and provided a great base for our day trips around the area. The pod does require some maintenance, however. One of the wicker chairs out front had gone through and the curtain rail was coming away from the wall on the right side. The kitchen sink leaks and floods the bathroom floor near the loo. We were disappointed that the listing suggested towels were included but then to be told we had to pay 15 for them. Thankfully the owners were kind enough to provide towels and promised to correct the ambiguous wording on the Sykes listing. We were also surprised that we had to pay a 100 deposit on arrival. Nowhere in the correspondence did it say we needed to do this. Even more disappointing was that we only got 75 of our deposit back after a week, with no message or explanation as to why. Fair enough if they thought we had damaged something, which we hadnt, but there was no inspection or opportunity to discuss. Essentially they have put their hand in my wallet and helped themselves to 25. For this reason I would not recommend this accommodation.

I recently visited this charming getaway with my dogs, and it's truly a hidden gem. Nestled in a beautiful location, the views are simply incredible. The owners are not only welcoming but exceptionally friendly, making our stay even more enjoyable. The nearby local pub adds to the experience with its lovely atmosphere and superb food. It has become our goto weekend retreat a perfect blend of tranquility and delicious dining.

Tullie House Museum & Art Gallery - CA3 8TP

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 22 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.
