Swallows House offers peace and tranquility; a gathering place for the whole family. It has been lovingly restored, parts of which date back to the 17th Century, providing generous accommodation for up to eight people in wonderful surroundings. Every room is beautifully appointed, with high quality furnishings to enable guests to relax in comfort. On the ground floor there is a large lounge, open log-burning fireplace and bay window with wide views of the surrounding fells. There is an elegant dining room with a large oak table , a comfortable sitting room with French doors opening onto the garden patio. There is a well-equipped kitchen with a range cooker and circular granite breakfast table, games room, study, with broadband connection; boot and shower rooms and a further WC/cloakroom. Both TVs in the main sitting room and games room are equipped with fire sticks providing access to Netflix and Amazon Prime. Upstairs there are four tastefully furnished, spacious double bedrooms (two king-sized, one double & one twin) all with breath-taking views. The en-suite and family bathrooms are fitted with Villeroy Boch and the house is centrally heated throughout. Coal for the open fire is provided for your use, along with logs for the log burner. There is also a Webber barbeque stored in the garage for your use, but you will need to bring charcoal. The terrace and garden provide fantastic views across to Loughrigg and beyond. There was a large owl nesting in one of the bushes in the garden this year and swallows are regular visitors. Please bear in mind that parts of the garden are quite steep and you will need to keep an eye on smaller children. There is private parking for 4 cars and a garage.

Situated in the heart of the Lakes, Swallows House provides an excellent base for walking or touring the surrounding fells and lakes. Wordsworth’s, Beatrix Potter’s and Ruskin’s homes are located nearby. There are many circular walks from the house; the renowned Chester’s and Drunken Duck Inn are less than a mile away.
