We absolutely loved our time at Swallow's Nest. Brilliant location and provided with most things you need for a weeks holiday. Could have easily stayed in the Lake District for another week especially Windermere Village.Plenty of places to eat, drink and visit.The only thing i would say is the cleaning of the house could have been better with a few little bits need touching up in the bathrooms. And some cleaning supplies would have been appreciated.
