A lovely relaxing place to stay.watching the geese and other wildlife on the lake made our stay even more enjoyable. We will certainly be booking again.
It was very beautiful and Warm house
The view is fascinating and peaceful
But visitors should take care since the road to the place is a little narrow

The cottage was clean and tidy.
The cottage was clean and tidy. It felt like a well loved home.
The view onto the lake in the garden was lovely and it attracted plenty of wildlife for us to watch.
With no real light polution the night skys looked great.
The area directly around the cottage was quiet, a real escape.
A short drive away you will find pubs, cafes and local/high street name shops.

We had a lovely relaxing week at Swallows nest. The cottage was spotlessly clean on arrival and had everything that we needed. Beautiful location next to the lake. We enjoyed lots of walking & cycling in the area. Highly recommend!

Glass and crockery needs updating.
Glass and crockery needs updating.
Lovely house worked very well with the family and the outside was fabulous when the sun shone! Super quiet location, the Lake was a wonderful feature. We were a little concerned about the ease of access to children not being sure how deep the water was and our ability to retrieve a child who fell in.
Overall excellent and would stay again.

This is an outstanding property.
This is an outstanding property. It is extremely peaceful and has fabulous outdoor space. The lake is stunning and is a source of quiet entertainment day and night, with geese, ducks and a whole varied birds. Plus rabbits and hedgehogs. A great feeling of spaciousness inside and out. Highly recommended.

An amazing holiday cottage in a beautiful location.
An amazing holiday cottage in a beautiful location. Nothing around, peaceful and quiet. Wonderful stargazing on clear nights. The cottage has everything you could want and very clean. Every little detail has been thoughtfully provided. Beautiful scenic view from every window. In a convenient location for yorkshire dales, the lake district and county durham. Lots to see and do. Would definitely return and recommend.
