“Lovely cosy property in a great location.”

Enjoyed our stay with our 9 month old and we were grateful for the provision of a high chair/travel cot. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Cleanliness was to a good standard. There is a third floor in the property closed off and used for owners storage. It would have been nice to have access to this. The second bedroom was a little too snug for the travel cot which ended up wedged between the wall and the bed (seeing as we did not want baby in with us or down in the ...

Enjoyed our stay with our 9 month old and we were grateful for the provision of a high chair/travel cot. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking. Cleanliness was to a good standard. There is a third floor in the property closed off and used for owners storage. It would have been nice to have access to this. The second bedroom was a little too snug for the travel cot which ended up wedged between the wall and the bed (seeing as we did not want baby in with us or down in the lounge). Little touches like a bottle of milk for the fridge on arrival would have also been gratefully received after a long journey. All in all would recommend to others looking for a comfortable family holiday.

“We have just returned from a relaxing week at Swallows Nest.”

The cottage was very comfortable and cosy. It was in a prime position near to the facilities of shops, pubs and restaurants albeit down a steep hill. The dog enjoyed her morning walks up in the field near the cottage. Could really recommend The Royal Oak Inn at the bottom of the hill. We ate there on 3 occasions as it served good home cooked food which was reasonably priced. We definitely would recommend staying here.

Mike August 2024

“We have stayed at Swallows Nest about 6 or 7 times and no doubt we will visit again, it’s a lovely cottage in the perfect location.”

My feedback is that it needs some additional cleaning to be rid of cobwebs which spoil an otherwise great holiday experience.

- Mike, August 2024

“Lovely Cottage.”

Very peacefull setting.

- Julie, August 2024
Samantha July 2024

“Gorgeous cottage.”

Bed was very comfortable and view nice. What a perfect week with perfect weather. There's a book in cottage giving you directions for a walk from the cottage . Only take bout 20 mins . What a view ,

Carla July 2024

“Second time we have stayed and was just how we remembered it!”

Well equipped and very clean. Sofa and bed comfortable, nice big fridge freezer. Lovely garden and parking is a bonus.

John July 2024

“John & Anne, thank you for letting me use your beautiful cottage.”

It was comfortable and had all the amenities anyone needs. Unfortunately, for me, I was on my own as my wife has Alzheimer’s and has gone into care. Your cottage was a haven when I returned from busy days. It has helped me clear my mind. I don’t think I’ve ever slept so well. Just a shame that the weather limited the time I could use the garden, but I did get a couple of evenings when it was dry and warm enough to sit outside with a glass of wine. I thoroughly recommend the property. John

“Excellent wee cottage 4 minutes from the centre and double that going back, yes that hill is a bit acute”

Angela May 2024

“We regularly stay at Swallow's Nest and once again, were very happy with our stay there in May.”

It was lovely to see the welcoming hanging basket near the door again and a new rug in the lounge. The only things we would comment on are the shower fitment over the bath needs tightening as it was quite loose on the wall (we did report this and were assured the owners would be made aware of the same) and the extractor fan in the bathroom would benefit from a clean. For hygiene purposes, it would be a nice touch if handsoap in the bathroom could be supplied on arrival. On a cosmetic note, the back garden seemed to feel a bit too enclosed this year.... cutting back some of the shrubs would help to open it up more and likewise, the large tree seen from the main bedroom window is quite high and obscures the view somewhat. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay & have re-booked for next year. Many Thanks.

- Angela, May 2024

Many thanks for these helpful comments again this year. We will follow them up during our forthcoming week there - have recently cut down one of the two conifers which had started to obscure the view and become too wide for the available space, and will definitely be pruning the (prolific!) tree near the cottage again. Glad you enjoyed your stay, anyway. John & Anne Property Owner

John March 2024

“Absolutely beautiful property, in a good location.”

Spotless throughout with everything you need in place. Well placed, thoughtful notes through the cottage, the cottage was warm and cosy - an ideal retreat. Thank you

- John, March 2024
Elizabeth February 2024

“Very comfortable and clean.”

We had lovely stay would definitely recommend to friends. The only thing I would recommend is that you let customers know that people may walk through the back garden. We had workmen walking through which was a shock plus with us having a dog he could have been outside. Thank you

- Elizabeth, February 2024

Dear Mrs Hamer, We're glad you enjoyed your stay, but very sorry to hear of your experience of workmen walking through the garden, and that we failed to get a message to you about this beforehand. There is an ancient right of way for cottage dwellers to cross the rear gardens of the other cottages in order to gain access. These days it is very rarely needed or used, except occasionally by window cleaners, and when it is used all of us cottage owners aim to minimise any inconvenience, so we're very sorry for the disturbance and shock you experienced.

Diana December 2023

“A lovely cosy and well equipped cottage.”

It was very wet weather over Christmas week but the rack & the pegs in the kitchen enabled me to dry everything out over night. I have been here the last week in May when it was warm enough to sit in the lovely little secluded garden & to eat our evening meal & our breakfast too come to think of it! My friend Helen has booked it for the two of us for a week next May. Although Bowness is a busy little town Swallows Nest is in a very peaceful situation the pathway to the end of the Dales Way is just outside the gate which for long walks or short walks is just fabulous !

- Diana, December 2023
Tony November 2023

“House was clean and tidy on arrival.”

. Have noticed on last few rentals..be nice if tea/coffee be supplied..nice location and reasonable back garden view..parking for car or 2is good….less than 5mins walk into town..but depending how fit you are 10mins back up hill..ideally situated for bars/restaurants and Lake.. Would stay again and recommend this place.. Cheers T

- Tony, November 2023
Liz September 2023

“Beautifully presented cottage.”

Great location. Clean. Very comfy beds. Could not fault it. Only complaint is that we had to buy hand soap for the bathroom as bottle left practically empty.

- Liz, September 2023
Gary September 2023

“Have a contact number in the information folder in case of emergency.”

- Gary, September 2023
Claire September 2023

“Just came back from a lovely week at Swallow’s nest and it was a really lovely cottage in a very quiet area of Bowness.”

Great private parking too which is a bonus in the Lakes! The cottage has all the facilities you need and was very clean on arrival too. It is only a 5 minute walk down to Bowness and about 25 minute walk up to Windermere. The cottage also had a garden with patio area to enjoy the late summer sun. It was so good, we have booked to go back next year.

- Claire, September 2023
Mike August 2023

“The cottage was very clean and just noticed dust on the bathroom blinds.”

Appreciated the change of sofa and overall good quality feel of the accommodation. We thoroughly enjoyed our sixth year holidaying in the cottage!

- Mike, August 2023
Gary July 2023

“The property was absolutely lovely, very well kept and furnished and a perfect size for the two of us and our teenage son.”

We would love to come back again in the future.

- Gary, July 2023
Julie June 2023

“The cottage was very well presented and comfortable.”

The outside space was nice as it was very hot whilst we were staying. We found the hill a little challenging, that that was primarily because of the heat - that doesn't happen very often! The Dales Way and other footpaths started very close the the cottage. We would def recommend the property for its comfort and attention to detail.

- Julie, June 2023
Angela May 2023

“We are regulars to this property and once again we enjoyed our stay.”

We did notice the new sofa, which was a lot more comfortable than the previous one and the hanging basket outside the front door was also a lovely touch. The only suggestion we would like to make is for the bathroom towels to be upgraded, as the ones provided this time were not particularly soft on the skin. Likewise, the kitchen tea towels provided were beyond their best. Regardless, we have re-booked for next year and look forward to visiting again.

- Angela, May 2023
Helen May 2023

“Lovely place ,not everyone would like the hill up from Bowness but it did make it lovely and quiet .”

We have already booked it again for next year and my friend has booked it for Christmas

- Helen, May 2023

Thank you for you very kind comments, we are so pleased to hear that you had an enjoyable stay. We look forward to welcoming you again. The Heart of The Lakes Owner Relations Team Property Owner
A May 2023

“Lovely cottage which suits our needs well.”

We really like having the outside space - even if we can’t always use it (weather!). Bed is very comfortable and bathroom is modern and well appointed. Kitchen pretty well equipped but really needs another two medium sized pots and a couple of small sharp knives. An updated TV would be a bonus. Area is very quiet so great for people who are poor sleepers. Parking is fine. Just a short walk to shops restaurants etc but the cottage is at the top of a very steep hill so not suitable for people with mobility issues unless they are happy to drive / use taxis to get in and out of Bowness centre. There are no kitchen basics or welcome pack provided so you need to make sure you have milk bread etc with you - shop before you access the cottage. We have stayed here before and would definitely stay here again.

- A, May 2023

Thank you for your kind comments, we are so pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay. We take all comments on board. We hope to welcome you again. The Heart of the Lakes Owner Relations Team Property Owner
Robert April 2023

“This is our 2nd visit back to tge cottage it's ideally placed for walks straight out the front door or a 5 minute walk down to the town.”

It's a great base to go out and see the other lakes and walks

Mrs Mahoney February 2023

“We loved Swallows Nest and it was situated in a perfect place for visiting my daughter.”

The only negative we could see was that there was no hand soap at all upstairs or down and we could not find any egg cups. Also a welcome pack with basics would be a lovely touch. We did appreciate the night lights that came on automatically. A sweet cottage!

- Mrs Mahoney, February 2023
Lesley December 2022

“We did leave a note for the owners as couldn,t find visitors book to comment.”

Also couldn,t find instructions regarding bedding/towels so left all used in the bath & put a note on articles not used.However we did enjoy our stay despite the weather & found the cottage on the whole very nice & beautifully located.

- Lesley, December 2022
Sharon November 2022

“This cottage was lovely.”

It was literally a 4 minute walk to Lake Windermere. Brantfell was perfect for an early morning stroll. The most surprising thing was really how quiet it was. The perfect retreat after a day's hiking/shopping/eating!

- Sharon, November 2022
Susan Mary October 2022

“A lovely cottage which is very well equipped, clean and comfortable.”

- Susan Mary, October 2022
Emma September 2022

“A really lovely cottage, excellent location (5 minute walk from shops & restaurants).”

Very quiet area, you’d never know you were so close to Bowness centre. Cottage very comfortable, well equipped with everything you need for your stay. Lovely little garden, just perfect for 2-3 people. Plenty of local walks, so no need to use the car if you don't want to. Cottage up quite a steep hill, but there is a easier walk up. Will be staying again.

- Emma, September 2022
Lorna August 2022

“Lovely cottage, however, it could have been cleaner!”

Cobwebs on the stairs, tired looking furniture, worn carpets etc. No tongs to use in the kitchen. When moving the footstool it was obviously it hadn’t been hoovered underneath.

- Lorna, August 2022
Angela August 2022

“Really happy with cottage and had a great week.”

Huge fridge freezer and lovely outside area. All very clean! Fantastic location for the lake,walks and public transport. Car stayed parked all week. There was no key for the outside storage so we couldn’t get the seat cushions for outside chairs, mattress wasn’t the best and sofa cushions would slide off but would still highly recommend.

- Angela, August 2022

Angela May 2022

“We have stayed at Swallow's Nest regularly for a while now and are still very happy with the facilities and location of the cottage (indeed we have booked yet again to stay next May).”

However, on our visit this year we did notice a few blips from previous years. The cottage felt and looked a little tired. The frontage of the cottage wasn't as bright and welcoming as on previous visits; in need of the door re-painting and general weeds removing. We noticed scuff marks on the kitchen walls, again a lick of paint needed (and cobwebs on the ceiling). We found a cooking pan in the kitchen had an extremely loose handle which could pose a danger (we did report this to you and for which you thanked us for bringing it to your attention). We also found the toaster had not been emptied - the crumb trays beneath were full of someone else's breakfast toast! The rug in the lounge has been there since we first started visiting - a change to a new one possibly? We were very grateful to have towels provided at the cottage, however this year they were rather like sandpaper - new, softer ones if possible please? Overall, as a family we look forward to and enjoy staying at Swallow's Nest but feel it needs a little TLC just to make it shine again - thank you.

Ian May 2022

“Great property in excellent location for exploring all the area has to offer.”

The steep climb back up the hill is particularly good for walking off dinner in Bowness! Everything you could need was provided for, with the exception of an iron and ironing board, which would be a very useful addition. Very comfortable and would definitely stay again if ever in the area.

- Ian, May 2022
Jason April 2022

“Fab little cottage ideally situated just down the hill into the centre of lovely Bowness.”

.the accommodation itself is clean..cosy..spacious modern..and had everything we needed for our week's holiday..ample parking for 2 cars and a great little garden that gets the sun with great views..lovely walk from the cottage up to Brant Fell too!! Could do with an iron and ironing board but apart from that it was amazing and would highly recommend this property.

“Lovely long weekend in Bowness.”

Great location for all local amenities. The cottage is lovely and cosy with nice views from both the front and back, however we were surprised and unimpressed at the lack of necessary commodities such as additional toilet rolls (there was only 1 between 3 people for 2 nights), dishwasher tablets, washing up liquid and no recycling facilities or spare bin bags. Would’ve been nice to know that we needed to bring these items in advance but nevertheless, the shops in Bowness are only a 10 min walk down the hill. Overall a lovely weekend!

- Jenny, March 2022

Glad you had an enjoyable weekend at Swallow's Nest. Sorry to hear of the lack of necessary commodities you experienced. There is normally a small pack of basic items provided there for guests including dishwasher tablets, a very small bottle of concentrated washing up liquid and a bin bag, so we're sorry to hear you didn't find those. Cumbria Waste describe their single bin system as all-in recycling. Property Owner

David February 2022

“We where surprised in the information about the position of the cottage in that it was situated up a very steep hill and nothing was mentioned.”

As the three of us are aged 72, 65, and 64 with two of us with walking problems. Otherwise the cottage was excellent, only one other thing missing was an iron and ironing board.

- David, February 2022

Thank you for taking the time to provide additional feedback following your stay at Swallows Nest. We are sorry you found the hill to be steep walking up to the property from the village. The property owner has taken your comments on board and the description has been amended following your feedback to reflect a ‘Steep’ hill as we would not want further guests to be taken by surprise. We do offer the post codes and map facility for all our properties and our team are always on hand to answer any queries you may have prior to booking. We do hope that despite this, you had a fantastic time in the Lakes as we hope to welcome you back in the near future. Property Owner

“Hard to fault this pretty cottage.”

Being picky it would have been good to have an iron and ironing board. A small food welcome pack would be nice but understand in these times that may not be advisable. A pretty west facing garden that nice to sit in during the evening.
