Blue Swallow

Great to find a place with single en-suite rooms when travelling with my son. The lovely friendly welcome from Alison and Karen and their gorgeous friendly collie. They bent over backwards to help us and gave so much friendly advice on places to eat and things to do or see whilst there, sadly we were only there for one night but would happily have stayed much longer. We had to leave early in the morning at 6.30am and they so kindly made us a picnic breakfast and juice to go and got up to say goodbye; above and beyond on a Sunday morning! Thank you. I will definitely return.

Theres a yard at the back which can be noisy, where people chatting into the night can keep you up as there’s no sound buffer, it could do with a tree or something to diffuse the banter!

This guest house sets the bar very high for any other guest house and hotels, globally really. Karen and Alison make sure that your stay will be amazing and you will feel more welcome than in your own family house. Breakfasts are great, the rooms are clean and have everything you need, including home baked goods to restore your energy after a hike. Bus stop to many hiking spots is just a short walk away, pub and restaurants around, as well as shops. K&A gave us very useful tips and suggestions on places to eat and how to get around Penrith. I will be coming back because of the cleanliness of the rooms, location, great food, helpfulness of the hosts and the value for money.

Everything about this guesthouse is just amazing. We have just returned from 2 nights here as we were taking part in the trek26 for charity. Karen and Alison were just so lovely and welcoming and made you feel right at home from the minute we arrived. Cannot fault the rooms at all, they are clean, tidy and have everything you need and more, also the beds are super comfy. There is a lot of choice for breakfast and the service was a 10-10, nothing was too much trouble. Our visit was made even better by cuddles from their pet dog bunty. It was lovely coming back and her tail was wagging happy to see you. A house is not a home without a dog. Would stay here again in a heartbeat. Thank you again Alison and Karen ☺️
