We stayed here on the first night of our C2C ride. The owners were pleasant and welcoming, and the room was to a very high standard for a guest house. Breakfast was excellent. It isn't 5* boutique, but it completely surpassed our expectations.

My husband and I stayed for one night on the 11th August. The room was lovely and clean, the owners were very helpful and chatty, a lovely couple! The breakfast was superb, juicy fresh fruit salad, yoghurt and a tasty freshly cooked full English! We will definitelyreturn here when we're in the area. Well done!!

Stayed for two nights last week whilst visitng my son in Penrith. The host checked me in promptly, showed me how everything worked in my room & checked what time I would like breakfast the next morning. The room was spotless, amazingly clean throughout. Breakfast was brilliant, freshly cooked, plentiful, more was offered but politely declined. Nothing was too much... More

I was in the Lake District for the Kendal Calling festival and decided to stay at the Blue Swallow rather than camp at the site. I made the right decision.

Because of the long distance from Wales to Scotland, we decided to break out trip and spend the night in Penrith.

You couldn't ask for more from the hosts, pleasant, accommodating and genuine. The rooms are spotlessly clean and well appointed. Breakfast was just what the doctor ordered, not too much and not too little with additional offered and declined! Recommended to anyone. Many thanks and see you in November!

We stopped in for one night on our way to Scotland and were delighted with what we found. Although the owners were not there when we arrived, after a phone call they arrived within 15 minutes and promptly checked us in and showed us to our room. The room was lovely and comfortable, very clean with a small but adequate... More

Arrived on a cold november evening after a long drive. Made to feel very welcome and were shown to our room promptly on arrival. Booked a double room and we were given a room with a double and a single bed which had a pull out bed underneath it so they would be able to accommodate families. Although situated on... More

Just got back from seeing friends in Penrith and needed a B&B to save a long drive back late at night. This little gem was ideal. A pleasant experience from arrival to leaving. The room was spacious and warm with a lovely hospitality tray. Lovely big comfy bed and spotlessly clean. Breakfast was amazing and all freshly cooked.Free parking outside... More
