  Just back from a lovely peaceful week at Swallows Nest with our 2 dogs.

  I can't think of anywhere better to be at this time, surrounded by nature, animals, fields and beautiful little villages. An easy drive to the Lake District, and a nice walk into the local village which has a good shop, 2 pubs and a lovely river walk. For us having 2 dogs the totally enclosed garden was a huge benefit as we could open the patio doors and not have to worry about them escaping! (one is a husky.....say no more). Just up a path on the farm grounds, through the lovely serene pet cemetery we had access to several large fenced in paddocks for the dogs to play in the morning and evening. We were out all day exploring so it was good to have somewhere close for them before we went and when we got back. The cottage itself is a charm, lovely open space downstairs with everything we needed and 2 good bedrooms and large bathroom upstairs. I would recommend this cottage to anybody wanting to get away from it all.

  We have just come back from a long weekend break at the swallows nest.

  The first thing that stuck us as we walk into the cottage was the damp smell. It wasn’t the cows that live next door but a damp, mould type smell. We dreaded it every time we walked back into the cottage. There at 2 small leather sofas to watch the tv on at the end of a tiring day. They are very uncomfortable. I’ve seen other people write this and laugh but it’s so true. The pillows are awful…take your own!! Here’s the best part…the hot tub…don’t waste your money. You have to light the fires hours before to keep the water hot, then keep stirring the tub with a huge paddle to keep the warmth moving about, then place 2 heavy covers over it until it’s time to stir it again. It’s not a hot tub…it’s a couldron!!! Other than that..there’s 2 great pubs and some lovely walks nearby!!!

  The Cottage is situated right next to a farm and this did create a bit of a problem.

  The barn was situated almost adjoining the cottage, and there was a problem with a cow which seemed to be in distress and constantly mood for two days which caused us a little stress and a sleepless night ( I don't want to sound unsympathetic to the plight of the cow). The location is quite isolated, You couldn't really go anywhere without driving, but the grounds on which the cottage was situated was very pleasant, with Peacocks, Chickens and Geese wandering freely. The cottage was fairly well equipped but certain things were missing such as bedside cabinets, (which I would have found very useful) The Gentleman who ran the place was very nice, and although there were a couple of problems, our stay was good.

  This was THE most dog-friendly place I have ever been to - absolute heaven for my border collie - and the cottage was great for me too, in a lovely location!

  Cottage was very clean, warm, well laid out and comfy. Everything you could need was provided, plus extras I wasn’t expecting like shower gel, shampoo, biscuits, milk and even tissues. A DVD player was even provided on request - couldn’t have asked for more. The location was also superb - ducks, geese, peafowl, and poultry wandering the grounds. For my dog - always one of my top priorities when booking somewhere - an enclosed private garden was part of the cottage, but there were also half a dozen enclosed fields and an exercise area that we were able to enjoy at our leisure, and the wonderful views on all sides made our walks a real pleasure. We are definitely planning a return visit!

  Lovely cottage ,very clean ,great secure garden , hot tub amazing but not in the garden, secure dog field fantastic BUT the cow shed is literally adjoining the garden and the noise and smells are bad I had to spray perfume constantly to try and mute the smell this was at Christmas so the cows were locked in the shed and one day it sounded like the farmer had locked his dog in there as there was a whimpering sound which upset me so much I wouldn’t go in the garden , such a shame as the cottage really was very warm and cosy not sure if the other cottages on the site had the same problem as the smell only hit you when you approached our gate
