This is a fabulous place. It is the best equipped cottage I have ever visited. The quality of the fittings is outstanding. the location is sublime. Staring out to the surrounding hills from the seating outside of a morning was like a counselling session. It is simply in a wonderful place. You can see Catcalls directly behind which we climbed. the pRead moreark from the garden is not the actual peak but the walk is worth it for some of the most magnificent views anywhere in the Lakes. Loved it. Hide

Gorgeous house in a fantastic location. Located right at the bottom of cat bells for a hike or 5 mins from ferry port to Keswick, st Marys mount etc.. Swinside inn local pub is just a short 5-7mins walk. Previous reviews stated problems with aga ovens, absolutely no problem with these at all. Really hot and ready to go. Reception isnt great in thisRead more area but thats a local problem and not anything to do with the house. We would come back at stay again. Thank you x Hide

Large comfortable property with dining room big enough for all to gather but also multiple social spaces for those seeking quiet. Beautiful garden with plentiful sitting out areas. Absolutely fantastic location at the foot of Catbells.

Beautiful house in a fantastic location, right at the foot of Catbells. Comfortably accommodated our party of 18 without feeling cramped or squeezed in. Everyone agreed that we would love to come back again.

The house was just what we wanted for a family get together and although there were 20 of us there were ample lounges for a bit of peace and quiet. The bedrooms were well equipped and comfortable and the kitchen equipment and facilities - apart from one dishwasher not working - more than met our needs. We are already planning another get together iRead moren the autumn and Swinside House is likely to be our choice for that event. Hide
