Brigitte 
“A great location.”
The accommodation fitted our needs and was clean and tidy. The outside of the property is much better than on websites, these need to be updated as well as the appliance folder, simple instructions would be much more helpful. I couldn’t work out how to turn the radiators on nor the heater on the wall at Christmas and cold weather it wasn’t ideal. Again some instructions would have helped.

John “We were very comfortable in this small but compact apartment.”
It is is well situated, parking on the road outside and the bus stop just a step up the road. Walks in all directions so just perfect for us. We have been many times and really feel it is time the glasses were replaced, not one matched and also some of the crockery is chipped and should be replaced. We will happily return and thanks for the use of the apartment.

The property was cosy but did need abit of a reverb like anew carpet in living room as it was abit grubby and I thought we paid alittle over the ods as other poeple payed a lot less but we did have a lovely stay x

Lynne “The property was very comfortable and well located.”
There is a significant problem with the heat sensor system within this property. There is a note by the hob that says that the alarm may go off and will stay on if it’s triggered. I cooked on the first evening and the alarm went off. I opened all windows etc and it did not go off. In fact it was on for 2 hours plus in the whole building which disrupted the other flat and neighbours. I tried to call your helpline but got no answer. I left a message and received no response from you for our whole visit. We eventually found a phone number in the sensor system downstairs and called them. They are based in Chorley , 2 hours from the property! The noise was deafening making us leave the property as did our upstairs neighbours. We were both competing in a lake swim the next day and were very stressed about not being able to get rest before an early start. We also had the added expense of abandoning our dinner to go to a local pub instead. The engineer did arrive about 10pm. He was able to reset the alarm. This must be attended to by you landlords. It’s not good for them or their customers. It was a shame this tarnished the experience of staying at the swallows nest. I am very unlikely to return. Your helpline should also be reviewed as it did not help us in any way.

Kevin & Jayne “Lovely cosy appartment in centre of Coniston.”
Clean, comfortable and well presented. Excellent shower. Street parking not a problem. 5 star review. A few more glasses, mugs and plates would result in dishwasher being used less frequently. Bath towels are quite small (labelled with another cottage).
- Kevin & Jayne, June 2024 -

Shallows nest is perfectly situated for walkers like ourselves,it is close to all the amenities in the centre of Coniston the only problem is that the best pub is the furthest away the Sun at the top of the hill

Hayley “Husband cut his shin on the bed, the furniture is large for the space”
- Hayley, December 2023 -
Jane “The bed needs some padding round the legs, as not much room to pass by the bed.”
Very painful if you bump into them. I packed our towels round them. Also the bottom section of the bedroom window is cloudy, which spoils the view. But never the less, a lovely place to stay.
- Jane, September 2023 -
Volker “We had a good time in Coniston.”
The location of the flat is ideal for hiking. The flat was clean,but there were a few things we missed in the flat: salad bowl, bowls and lids for the microwave, salad servers, bowls for mixing, toothbrush tumbler, butter dish, several chopping boards, smaller towels to supplement the large towels, a few more cups and some plastic storage container would be also convinient.
- Volker, May 2023 -
Julie “Great location for us and accommodation very comfortable.”
We didn't find the 'bins' info etc until we were leaving as its in the 'Appliances' folder and we didn't look in that, there was no other info about the local pubs, cafes, food shops etc. The only slight thing was that we would have appreciated a tea bag or spoon of coffee when we arrived but there was absolutely nothing and thats quite unusual nowadays and we only had 3 cups so had to wash after each use - again not life changing, but more crockery would be great and I see it's been mentioned previously. I wonder if daytime parking would be an issue in peak times but we had no trouble. But, that doesn't take away from a great stay in a beautiful part of the lakes, this area having not been visited by us greatly before.
- Julie, May 2023Thank you for your comments. The bins are located at the front of the property. One has BL for Blue bird loft the other SW for Swallows nest. Bin bags from inside the property should be placed in the appropriate bin outside. A spare bin bag for replacement use is left in under the sink. Again thank you for your comments, we assumed as this is a two people maximum apartment, 4 plates etc would be sufficient for use and also as Coniston is very small all local pubs and cafes are within a minute walk. Coniston is a very special place to visit, please enjoy visiting, we have lots of cafes and pubs to enjoy, delicious coffee next door but one and pubs within a minute away. Property Owner

Julie “This is a lovely, well maintained apartment in a great location.”
We only gave a three for comfort because we found the bed too soft for us . All in all a nice stay.
- Julie, May 2023Thanks for your lovely comments, we will look at replacing the mattress with a medium. Property Owner

Simon “Unfortunately, our stay was not the relaxing one we had hoped for.”
Online the swallows nest appeared far more suited tom our needs than the bluebird loft we had stayed in before. On arrival, the toilet was noisily continually on flush. Whilst we appreciate that we arrived on a bank holiday and instant maintenance would be difficult, we were left feeling less than cared about. Sykes team did what they could, but we had a running toilet for the whole of that night. It would have been nice if the owner had at least got in touch, apologised and promised to do what they could the next day. But unfortunately, no. Nothing. We were left with what amounted to Chinese water torture for the night on what might be the most uncomfortable bed I have ever slept on. So soft, we were almost on the boards. I joked that we should have got the air bed we had camped on before we arrived and slept on that. I should have done. Both my wife and I have very uncomfortable backs upon our return. Fast forward to Wednesday I think and whilst cooking dinner the smoke alarm went off. The door of the alarm unit is broken and I was unable to turn the alarm off. I also could not at first get any answer from the alarm maintenance company or Sykes. No answer from the maintenance company and every Sykes phone number went to the same answer phone message, even the emergency number. Eventually we found one that asked us to leave a message. Which we did and eventually we got a call back. Eventually we also got through to the alarm company too and they came and stopped the alarm. It had been going for an hour and a half. We had half the neighbourhood coming to see what was going on. Never mind eating a cold dinner in the front garden. It was a good job it wasn't raining. On top of all that, it happened again on Sunday morning. We were that upset that we decided to go home a day early and whilst cooking breakfast off the alarm went. Even though I had been shown by the technician how to turn the alarm off I still had to do it three times because the door was still unrepaired. This holiday had its redeeming features, but they weren’t the swallows nest.
- Simon, May 2023We are sorry that your stay has not gone as well as expected, please let me respond to your issues. 1. This was unfortunate that the toilet was running continually, we responded as quickly as possible to solve this, but unfortunately it was bank holiday Monday evening when we had the notification, the earliest opportunity to fix was 9.30 on the Tuesday morning, which our caretaker promptly fixed. 2. As you have mentioned the bed is medium soft in Swallows Nest, which suits most people, if you prefer a firm bed, I would suggest to mention when booking and we could have advised accordingly. 3. We have an integrated fire alarm system with heat sensors, which responds to excessive heat or smoke. As this is an integrated system you cannot stop the alarm once it has gone off, in the usual manner by opening windows, it has to be turned off at the alarm box. This must be done by the service Engineer, the emergency number on the box should be rung for an Engineer to turn off the alarm and this could mean a long wait. This does not happen very often, but in response to your problem. We have now put a notice in Swallows Nest to inform Customers, if they are creating excessive smoke/heat by cooking then they should open the window, turn on the extractor fan, but ideally try and cook without excessive smoke/heat then this problem would not arise. As far as the lock on the alarm box, I have again spoken with our alarm people to fix the lock and will persevere until this is sorted. Property Owner

Really enjoyed our stay very clean and comfortable But quite a few maintenance hote Main thing is the shower not draining properly and the lobby light where washer is also the light on washer where flashing while in use Dishwasher not working properly Few bulbs need changing No kitchen scissors and not even a extra bin bag
- Stacey, December 2022Hello, All maintenance issues are now rectified including scissors and extra bin bag under the sink We hope you enjoy your stay in Swallows Nest :) Property Owner

John “This was another enjoyable stay at Swallows Nest, but we really feel it’s time for more crockery etc to be reinstated after the covid experience.”
Very warm, cosy and comfortable accommodation.
- John, December 2022Hello, More crockery and cutlery and glasses installed. Thank you Property Owner
-
David “The light in the apartment hallway didn't work which made entry/exit difficult but much more disappointing was the lack of a remote control for the DVD player - this had clearly been mentioned in the visitors book many months ago but there was no replacement.”
There were no controls on the DVD unit apart from play, pause, and eject so we could only watch the first part of any multipart DVD. Really enjoyed the apartment otherwise which is why only facilities are marked as poor.
- David, November 2022Hello, New DVD installed with a new remote provided. Thankyou Property Owner
-
Ros “Nice property and location.”
Kitchen could do with more cutlery & mugs. Also no facilities for dishwasher so like salt or tablets
- Ros, September 2022Hello, Dishwasher tablets are provided under the sink, more cutlery and mugs have been provided. Thankyou Property Owner
-
Helen “Hello. Thanks so much for allowing us to stay at Swallows Nest.”
We truly had the best time. One thing that was worrying was the shower. It doesn’t drain properly and you could be in there less than ten minutes before the shower tray is full of water. Not sure if it’s the water pressure or a problem with the drain.
- Helen, September 2022All maintenance issued are now rectified Property Owner

What a lovely little gem right in the middle of town with everything you need for your holiday very lovely and comfortable apartment no need to drive if you don't want to lovely walks right on your doorstep would highly recommend Swallos Nest and will definitely be back
- Gill, July 2022Thankyou for your lovely response, we are pleased that you enjoyed Swallows Nest :) Property Owner

John “Enjoyed another visit here in this comfortable apartment.”
Only downside it is short on crockery and cutlery but we managed.
- John, November 2021 -
John “A lovely apartment centrally placed we would happily book again.”
Can I just ask that the dinner knives are replaced they are impossible to use
- John, October 2021 -
Peter “Could do with a bit more crockery in kitchen.”
Only 2 plates, 2 bowls, no Pyrex dishes, No pudding basin. Just means you have to use the dishwasher after every meal and it's only a quarter full. So inefficient. Costing more in electricity.
- Peter, September 2021 -
Jane “Absolutely perfect holiday let.”
Extremely clean, perfect location, plenty of places to eat on your doorstep. First time to the Lakes, just beautiful England at its best, we will definitely be back.
- Jane, September 2021 -
Philip “Great flat in a great location, we had no issues whatsoever, but i will suggest the owner provide recycling bins.”
There was no facilities in the village to recycle either to our knowledge. In these times of doing our bit for the environment these facilities should be provided....
- Philip, September 2021 -
Anne “Flat excellent together with facilities.”
Would definitely come again
- Anne, August 2021 -
Barry “Great little apartment, superbly positioned within the village, close to all amenities.”
- Barry, July 2021 -
Linda “The listing said there was a lake view and that wasn't so.”
In fact the view from the front of the house was onto other houses. The living/dining area was very cramped, especially when compared to the size of the bedroom and bathroom. It would be better to have a bin under the sink rather than next to the dining table which is extremely unhygienic.
- Linda, July 2021 -
David “Not enough crockery in kitchen.”
- David, July 2021 -
John “Just as good the second time around”
- John, June 2021 -
Christine “Lovely apartment spotless through out the owner has thought of everything to make our stay perfect.”
Everything sanitised will definitely be returning again.
- Christine, June 2021 -
Diane “4 days of rain of varying intensity made the lack of drying facilities apparent.”
Otherwise the accommodation provided a relaxing bolt hole the cost of which at £517 would have allowed us 10 days bed and breakfast with sunshine in a 3 star hotel in Greece....just saying.
- Diane, October 2020 -
Rachel “Clean, cosy and comfortable accommodation.”
Good location. We always managed to park on the road outside even though it was half term and very busy. The selection of pans was OK but no casserole dishes. It was a shame the bistro next door is currently closed (not even takeaway when we were there) but it was only 100m walk to The Crown pub.
- Rachel, October 2020 -
Mark “I think the cafe has changed in the directions.”
This could confuse some people. Some of the details are missing in the flat-so the wifi code is only on a scrappy bit of paper for instance. Cooker tends to auto switch off if the time is not entered. A separate note for this would be useful. Walking from the flat is perfect-this is a real asset with even bus stops nearby and free parking is nearby.
- Mark, October 2020 -
Anne “There’s no parking, so a warning to be prepared to pay £3 for 2 hrs at the car park across the road, or some other helpful advice, would be good.”
The last email we got, a week before arriving, said the host would be ‘available to greet you from 17:00’ so we expected to get the keys from a person. The number on the email was a call centre and completely unhelpful and it took much exhausted searching on the doorstep through email archives (no internet till we got inside!) and the fortunate assistance of some other chance-met guests to figure out the ‘keysafe’ system and get it to work. We’d have given up on it if we weren’t stranded and desperate by now. Very sticky and awkward to open, needed 3 hands! Not a bad apartment though pricey, maybe that’s just the Lake District for you. Nice bathroom, good location, decent hot water system. Kitchen was adequate EXCEPT oven didn’t work (wasted a whole frozen meal) which is poor for a not-cheap self-catering apartment. The ‘appliance book’ didn’t have an oven page. Stove top worked. Cafetière spout was broken, which we didn’t notice till after we made/wasted the coffee. The bedroom was nice (good view out the window) though the bed was uncomfortably soft for our taste. We had to strip the bed and bag up all the towels and linens (supposedly due to covid !?), as well as put all the crockery/cutlery/pans in the dishwasher before leaving, which was ok (if not quite expected at the price) except you also have to be gone by 9am! We didn’t try the TV so can’t comment. Wi-fi was good.
- Anne, October 2020Thank you for your feedback. There is no allocated parking for this property and the listing does advise of roadside parking available, but this is on a first come first served basis. The owner is sorry if you struggled with the key safe, it is not something that any other guests have reported back to them. The keys safe code is provided to guest with the key collection details. With reference to the oven there is a manual in the property with information in it and we in the office were on hand to assist if you advised us of your struggles and we would have been happy to help with this. Overall the owner hopes the points you raised did not impact your stay at Swallows Nest and looks forward to seeing you again soon. Property Owner

Couldn't have asked for more.
- Gareth, October 2019 -
Loraine “Swallows nest was a perfect base for our time in the Lake District.”
The village has plenty of nice pubs and restaurants within 5 minutes walk. The cottage was excellent and exceeded our expectations. It had all the facilities required for our stay, nice bedroom bathroom e.t.c. Plenty of books, leaflets on Lake District and some games. Would definitely stay there again
- Loraine, October 2019 -
Andrew “Beautiful little property.”
I was very comfortable there during my stay, and wouldnt hesitate to recommend it to anyone. I shall certainly be staying there again.
- Andrew, October 2019 -
David “Faultless stay.”

Joseph “Great location,apartment spotless and beautifully furnished,would definitely recommend.”
- Joseph, August 2019 -
Margaret “Your information states that Donald Campbell's restored Bluebird car is in the Ruskin Museum in Coniston and it isn't.”
We would however recommend Swallows Nest in Coniston which is a modern comfortable apartment close to all the amenities.
- Margaret, June 2019 -
Jill “Lovely flat and great location”
- Jill, May 2019 -
Paul “This was our 2nd time at this property and it is well situated within the village and extremely clean and tidy”

Roberta “Very comfortable and well equipped property in an excellent location for restaurants and Coniston Water.”
- Roberta, October 2018 -
Brian “Location and the cosy, compact nature of the accommodation.”
The Bistro 'Steam next door was outstanding as were the pubs next in the village for hospitality, beet and the quality of food. There's excellent access to Coniston Waters and lots of interesting walks. We're looking forward to returning soon, hopefully during Easter.
- Brian, October 2018 -
Sara “Apartment was in the perfect location, clean and very well presented.”
Coniston itself is lovely. Climb the old man, it’s hard but you will be very pleased with yourself. The artisan bakery for pizza, fantastic. Little cafe next to apartment perfect for breakfast if you can’t be bothered to cook your own. We would recommend Swallows nest and Sykes definitely and we will be back.
- Sara, July 2018 -
Rosemary “Outdoor table & chairs are in front small "garden" very near to the 2 refuse bins and looking onto a reasonably busy road - not ideal.”
But flat was very comfortable, especially the bed, and overall well equipped.Excellent powerful shower.
- Rosemary, June 2018 -
Heidi “Swallows Nest is just perfect for a retreat in the lovely village of Coniston.”
The flat had everything that we needed and the views are amazing. Thank you.
- Heidi, May 2018 -
Hannah “This was my second visit to Swallow Nest and it was just as good the second time as it was the first.”
I very much enjoyed my stay and would highly recommend it. Very comfortable and clean accommodation. Quiet. Close to shops, eateries and 15min walk to the lake. Lucked out on the weather again! Great relaxing holiday!
- Hannah, May 2018 -
Elaine “The flat was very well equipped and the owners have thought of everything from an apron for the kitchen and a clothes brush!”
The kitchen had been left with washing up liquid, dish washer tablets, and a few tea bags and coffee. The bed is comfy and there's plenty of hot water after a long day's hiking. Since it is in the centre of Coniston, shops and pubs are only a few minutes walk away.
- Elaine, April 2018 -
Joy “Great location.”
Very well equipped property.
- Joy, July 2017 -
Tracy “An excellent location and lovely accommodation, which had everything we needed.”
We will definitely be going back.
- Tracy, April 2016 -
Diane “Swallow's Nest was very quiet and extremely comfortable.”
The location is just right and the view out of the bedroom window was always inviting and impressive. The spacious bathroom was much appreciated, as was the very comfortable bed and lounges. Free WiFi was excellent. Thanks a lot; we loved our stay there and would definitely come back, it was excellent value for money.
- Diane, April 2016 -
Rebecca “We loved this holiday, a home from home.”
Great location and lovely local pubs and restaurants. There were several walking routes and leaflets showing us what activities were available in the local area.
- Rebecca, October 2015 -
Brenda “The accommodation was spotless - couldn't fault a thing.”
Everything worked properly and we were very comfortable. Fixtures and furnishings were all good quality and the WiFi worked well too - and a good phone signal! The location is excellent for local walks and sights and there are some lovely places to eat within an easy walk.
- Brenda, October 2015 -
Gail “We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Swallows Nest.”
It was a lovely, clean, cosy cottage with everything you need. Myself and my husband would recommend this cottage for anyone wanting to visit Coniston.
- Gail, May 2015 -
Christine “An extremely well furnished and equipped apartment.”
A fantastic location in the town with plenty of places to eat and drink, and lots of walks without having to drive. Can thoroughly recommend Coniston as a base for exploring the Lake District.
- Christine, May 2015 -
Francis “The cottage is very well situated for touring the Lake District.”
It is clean and has wonderful bathroom and modern kitchen. It is well located within Coniston itself and has been modernized. It is very clean and warm.
- Francis, September 2014 -
Margaret “The apartment was very central and convenient for shops and pubs/restaurants.”
Even though there was no allocated parking we had no problems parking on the road outside the apartment. The view from the bedroom was particularly good and even though we were next door to a café and on a main road it was quiet. The apartment was modern, very well decorated and clean and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. The icing on the cake was the weather which couldn't have been better.
- Margaret, July 2014 -
Colin “Swallow's Nest was the perfect Lakes location, with easy access to good walking, lovely scenery and good facilities and attractions in Coniston.”
The apartment was beautifully appointed with all the comforts we needed for a top week. We especially appreciated the very helpful maps, walking guides and books that were available. They really helped us plan our days out. Highly recommended.
- Colin, May 2014 -
Margaret “Had a really great holiday, the flat was excellent, warm and comfortable.”
Every possible need was catered for and provided. The location was ideal with shops, pubs and cafes all within easy walking distance. The lakes were also within easy reach, and a great place to walk and discover the delights of the mountains and fells. I would definitely recommend this lovely holiday flat!
- Margaret, May 2014 -

Everything was immaculate, and there were lots of unexpected extras. The location was ideal for us, as it was close to cafes, shops etc.
- Richard, September 2013 -
Sally “This property is in a very good location.”
Although Coniston seems quite quiet, it was very close to several pubs serving good food and close to the shops.
- Sally, August 2013 -
Julie “Perfect location for walkers a different footpath around every corner”
- Julie, July 2013 -
