  We have just spent a wonderful 2 weeks at Swallows Next and had a fantastic time.

  The weather was extremely kind for the kind of year and the location of the cottage is amazing. There are so many walks on your doorstep without having to use the car. The Cottage was as described, clean and tidy. I believe the owners are new and are doing a great job. We stay in The Lakes multiple times a year and will be booking again for next year. This cottage will be our go to now. The only niggle we had was the bedding needs to be updated as it appears to be quite old and tatty. We nipped to TKmaxx and bought new. the outside needs a bit of a tidy up also as the green moss is quite slippy. Lakelovers, you need to advise owners of thing like this, if they are not aware, they cannot resolve. Thank you for letting us stay, we will be back all being well, March, June, November and possible December.

  My husband and I and dog Ginny had the most amazing stay at your beautifully restored home.

  It’s been renovated to a high standard using natural material which blends in perfectly with it surroundings. Your attention to detail really gives this property a home from home feeling. We particularly enjoyed relaxing after long walks and days visiting the numerous lakes in your garden listening to the birds singing over a glass of wine. The position of this property is ideal, walks on your doorstep but, also a lovely village Hawkshead a 5min drive away which has lots of amenities including pubs, restaurants and shops. We can’t wait to return and are already looking at dates. Thank you so much for sharing your fabulous home, we highly recommend to anybody who wants to get away from the hustle and bustle and chilli but, still have the stunning Lake District on your doorstep.

  After a very disrupted and long journey from the South on Saturday, it was such a relief to arrive at Knipefold Barn , thanks to the excellent directions we found it at the first attempt. Wow ! What an amazing place ! Everything we could wish for; spotlessly clean, beautifully and intelligently designed and thoughtfully equipped - a real home from home ! Having let out our own holiday home in SW France for several years, we fully appreciate the hard work involved in preparing and maintaining a high-end property for clients, who vary between taking care of and having respect for your property to sadly, the other end of the scale ! We are of the former variety ! We have only been here one night so far but already looking forward to coming back at some point !

  What a wonderful find!

  We booked a last minute break at Swallows Nest and it was the perfect place to relax and enjoy the Lakes. Nestled in a quiet cul de sac right behind Hawkshead village two minutes walk from all the shop, pubs and restaurants it’s an ideal location. The cottage itself is gorgeous, it has a great open plan living dining and kitchen space downstairs which was clean, warm and modern. Plenty of space for 4 adults and a small dog. Shower was hot and powerful, beds were a little hard but still slept well. We got out to Bowneas on Windermere via the lake ferry, Ambleside and did the Elterwater circular walk. There are also beautiful walks directly from the cottage. I wouldn’t hesitate to book here again.

  We would highly recommend Knipefold Barn especially if you have family members with disabilities although on three floors the lift makes easily accessible and the showers are excellent. The range is wonderful and makes cooking and experimenting a real pleasure. The surrounding area is fantastic for scenery and wildlife. While Ian and Ann, the owners, live next door they are not intrusive by any means but are there if you need anything and are their welcome pack is much appreciated. We made full use of the milkman with daily milk and bacon butter cheese etc when we needed. We certainly hope to return next year.
