8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Jan 2026
The accommodation was centrally located in Coniston; short walk to pubs, restaurants and shops. Ideal location for walking.
The directions given as to the location of the accommodation were very confusing and incorrect. I quote: "Continue past the Church on your right (correct); Swallows Nest is located on the left hand side just after the Coniston Dairy Tearoom". The Tearoom no longer exists. Basically it is a building site with builders banging and hammering from approximately 8am in the morning to late afternoon. I have attached a copy of the Application for Planning Permission, Application No: 7/2-24/5703, dated 15th January 2025 which states: Proposal: Change of use of part ground floor from cafe to ancillary residential accommodation plus ancillary works.

6.5 / 10.0Average·Oct 2020
Convenient location, nice flat, nice bathroom with good hot water system.
It was pretty hard to figure out how to get in in the first place, the email implied someone would meet us but it was actually a very fiddly key safe that needed a combination code sent to us at time of booking, 3 hands and fingernails to open.
We were self catering while marshalling for a 2 day event so we wanted coffee (the glass cafetière spout was broken, which we didn’t notice until we’d made - and wasted the coffee, and then of course no coffee for day 2 😕), hot showers (see ‘what we liked’) and hot food (we couldn’t get the oven to work at all, there was no instruction booklet for it in the ‘appliance book’ so we still don’t know if there was something we could have don’t to make it work if only we’d known. Thus we also wasted a frozen pizza and baked potatoes we’d bought (locally) for tea AND had to eat out, so more expensive and much later then we intended).
