Had everything we needed for the night. Was comfortable and quiet, was able to get a good nights sleep. Owners were very welcoming, both came to greet us and were very friendly, easily contactable.
Tea and coffee were available along with a porridge pot for the morning which we thought was a nice touch.
Clean and tidy, big enough for 2 adults and a dog.

The friendly hosts were really helpful. They made contact and helped guide us through significant road closures to engage we arrived safely.
The room was immaculate and the extra touches with biscuits, and porridge along side the tea and coffee was very welcomed.
The bed was HUGE and so so comfy!
A good night sleep was needed before our planned wintery walk the next day.
Was perfect.
Will return and plan a lovely summer time walk.
There was nothing we didn't like

We booked the accommodation for one night on our way up to Scotland so the location suited us well. Our hosts were very friendly and helpful, and also importantly the bed was out of this world. It was definitely extra-large and very comfortable. We couldn't fault it.

The room was very clean and comfortable the heating was just right and we spent a very comfortable nights sleep. I had breakfast but my husband does not eat porridge so he went without. I had two cups of tea but my husband does not drink anything hot so he took his own drink. I loved the private bathroom next to our room.
The parking was very close between vehicles making it difficult to remove your bags from the car.

Cleanliness, decor, comfort. Friendliness and helpfulness of owners. Proximity to major roads and Lake District, and to village pubs. Tranquillity of house. Private, off-road parking space. Porridge, etc.

This room is part of the house with your own bathroom. The other living quarters are separate so it felt like our own. The room was lovely and very modern yet homely. The location was great with town 2 minutes that way or gorgeous village & country side the other way. So many dining options and simply perfect for our stopover.

The decor, cleanliness and aesthetic of this room were as good any I’ve stayed in. The host, Adam was a lovely guy who was just perfectly understood the balance of being available if needed while being entirely unobtrusive; and my dog liked him, so I knew he was sound! He didn’t even tease me for being so stupid that I couldn’t find the place while being parked literally outside! Oh, and that bed was so comfortable - like sleeping on air.
Nothing to moan about except I didn’t know how to turn the radiator on, and I wanted to dry my top. But it was dry by the morning anyway. (Actually, the battery is dying in the TV remote ….Adam! You’re fired!) 🤣

Very comfy bed and although the bathroom is not en suite it is very close and you have dole use.
My husband has mobility issues and access was slightly difficult. He was able to transfer out of his wheelchair so for us it could be over come.

Cosy well furnished bedroom, big bed super comfortable. Private bathroom next door to bedroom. Kettle, mini fridge, TV with netflix, robes all provided. Bedroom very quiet despite the barn being adjacent to main road. Easy 20 minute walk to the centre of Penrith, but there are other eating options closer than that. The hosts were great, very friendly and great communication.

Our stay at swallow barn was lovely. Our hosts were absolutely lovely and gave us enough space while making sure we had everything we needed. The bed was unbelievably comfortable and spacious. We asked where they got the mattress from as we loved it so much!
The only thing we thought might improve it is wine glasses in the room but other than that we couldn’t possibly complain!

Steve and Adam could not have been more friendly and welcoming; a delight! The room was well designed and decorated and the superkingsize bed was super comfortable. We pretty much had everything we needed.
The bed was large and so did fill the room! The bathroom is not en-suite, but across the hall, however, was for our exclusive use and did not present a problem (for info purposes).

Clean and tidy, just as pictured on the listing. Easy to find with the instructions the hosts sent us via Booking.com. The room is in Steve & Adam’s house (with your own private bathroom). Steve & Adam were an absolute delight and very easy to get along with - my fiancé and I stayed here as part of a road trip up to the Isle of Skye to get married and they went above and beyond to make our stay memorable! We loved staying there and it’s a shame we only stayed the one night! Great pub choices a short walk down the road too and also Penrith Parkrun is a short drive away. I’d highly recommend Swallow Barn!

Steve and Adam are amazing hosts - very friendly, chatty and full of info but not over the top - just right! The bed is incredibly comfortable and we slept really well. The decor is stylish and relaxing. Highly recommend.
The bathroom is lovely but not accessed from the room. But it is right next to the room, so not a problem for us

Beautiful Barn in a fantastic location. The room was very clean and well presented. The bed was extremely comfortable ( we had a great nights sleep). Adam & Steve were very welcoming and helpful with ideas to do locally, suggesting pubs and restaurants close by. Very close to the motorway. I would highly recommend this outstanding barn for a lovely night away whether it’s business or leisure.

Swallow Barn is a lovely place to stay! Supremely comfortable, beautifully designed, everything we could need for an overnight stay and some lovely extra touches provided (hubby's appreciated the porridge pot). It's a great location close to main roads and the Lakes, plus the facilities of Penrith, also a short walk to local pubs with food. Steve is an excellent and super friendly host and we'd be very happy to come back. Love the big bed! ❤️
Everything was great!
