Description

Step inside and discover the spacious open-plan living, kitchen and dining area which will immediately impress, with floor to ceiling windows overlooking the views (see photos). The fully-equipped kitchen allows the designated chef to get to work preparing and cooking up a delicious meal, while the dining table is the perfect spot to tuck in, gaze at the views and recount past adventures. After a busy day exploring, the living room with comfortable leather seating makes the perfect place to come back and relax with a cup of tea, or catch up with your favourite shows on the wall-mounted Smart TV.

There are 3 modern attractive bedrooms, all with zip & link beds, which provides flexibility to suit different group requirements. The master bedroom can be super king or standard twin, and the two other bedrooms can be king size or compact twin. All bedrooms have new high-quality mattresses, luxury white bed linen and towels.

The beautiful new bathrooms are a very good size; one with basin, WC, heated towel rail and bath with shower unit over the bath, and the second with a substantial shower unit, basin, WC and heated towel rail.

You could enjoy breathtaking views while dining alfresco on warm summer days.

There is a useful utility room with washing machine, separate dryer, and a Belfast sink overlooking Derwentwater.

The lodge boasts ample parking. There are several lovely walks immediately on offer from the door, so don’t forget your hiking boots! Or why not bring your mountain bike with you to see even more of this beautiful area (lockable storage available in shed for pedal bikes but no facilities for charging/storing e-bikes).

Castlerigg Hall campsite is nearby where you can purchase basics such as fresh milk, bread and eggs. Fancy a bite to eat? Why not try the cafe at Castlerigg Hall which is open daily from 12-4 for delicious coffee and cakes, and the Heights Hotel Crag Bar 5 minutes down the lane sells vegetarian and vegan-friendly meals every evening from spring-autumn.

Path to walk down into Keswick (about 25 mins); paths to Castlerigg Stone Circle (about 35 minutes), and Walla Crag (about 40 minutes) with spectacular views down to Derwentwater and Bassenthwaite. You may be lucky enough to spot paragliders taking flight!

Reviews

Beautiful views, well presented lodge.
A really well presented lodge moments away from some great walks. We stayed for 4 nights in December and had a lovely time! It is easy enough to get into Keswick and at this time of year secluded enough. It is next to a caravan park so in the summer may be a bit busier! The beds were very comfortable, as was the lounge area. The only things I would like to have been made aware of beforehand were that after about 8am the internet connection (Wi-Fi) is basically non-existent until the late evening, fine if you're out all day but we had trouble downloading walking routes after breakfast for the day, which was a bit frustrating! And that there is a hot water booster that needs to be used unless you are showering/having a bath first thing in the morning! These are only minor issues and we would likely book again in the future.

Thank you for your lovely review of Swallow's Lodge and for the helpful feedback. It's great to hear that you found the property comfortable and were able to relax after your days out walking. We are really sorry that there were some problems with the wifi, we have been investigating this with a local engineer since receiving your review and it does appear that there were some issues with connection during the dates of your stay. The owner is also organising a further investigation into this to make sure that this isn't a problem for future guests. We'd love to have you back again and want to reassure you that our friendly team are always happy to visit properties during your stay to help try and resolve any issues as they come up (we are just based down the road in Keswick!). We will keep an eye on this hot water booster as well and add a note to the tablet that the booster should be kept on at all times. Many thanks and we hope to host you again soon. Best wishes, Keswick Cottages *Update - issues with Wifi are resolved, following an investigation into the connectivity we can confirm that this is up and running with speeds of 50-60MB.
