Well-equipped, but...
Swallows Nest is at the beginning of Catterlen, a series of houses stretching along both sides of the same road. Access from the M6 is very convenient with junction 41 being about 400 yards away. It is exceptionally well-equipped with good quality furnishings and fittings. The downside is the lack of a garden or any other area to sit outside on a summer's evening. The bench and table shown in the picture were not there during our stay. Equally, there are very limited views from the square window in the lounge (also shown in the photo). There are no views from the back of the property, unless you stand on a chair. The second bedroom with twin beds is very small, probably best for young children.

Fabulous property - faultless!
Immaculate property
Extremely well appointed fitted kitchen, plenty of cupboard space and lovely big table which accommodated our 1000 piece jigsaw and still had plenty of room for us to eat at !
Nice touch of basic provisions being provided for our arrival - bread/croissants/milk/orange juice/wine, all much appreciated
Quality of cottage was evident everywhere from lovely bed linen to nice touches such as provision of small torches at bedside as very dark going to the en-suite during the night
Plenty of info in cottage(laminated for easy cleaning)
Would highly recommend

Immaculately kept barn conversion
We trawled the internet for hours trying to find the perfect Lakeland cottage and we were truly delighted.
Swallows Nest is the perfect place to look forward to coming home to after a hard days walking.
Debbie and Derek have made the perfect holiday destination for us
and thankyou for going out of your way making us feel very welcome.
We have had a wonderful week visiting Kendal, Windermere, Keswick, Carlisle and Penrith not to mention miles of walking
around Buttermere, Scale Force, Derwent water and up to Aira Force at Ullswater and Pooley Bridge.
We were blessed with good weather and stunning views but the crowning glory goes to Debbie and Derek for providing Swallows Nest.
We have booked again for 2017.

5th Visit
Back from another February stay to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Our family chose to return because your holiday starts as you step through the door. Everything is maintained to a meticulous standard by Debbie who welcomes you just like family.
We love the area with Penrith being only 5 mins away and it's full of shops, restaurants, take-sways etc, as well as several supermarkets from Booths to Aldi. The stunning lake Ullswater is your closest lake around 15 minutes drive away. I love everything about Swallow's Nest and will certainly be returning soon.
