2 bedroom accommodation in Torpenhow, near Wigton
This is the perfect spot for touring Cumbria, the Lake District, the Yorkshire Dales, the Scottish Borders and the Cumbrian coast and beaches.. Ground Floor:
Living room: 35" Freeview TV, DVD Player, CD Player, Woodburner
Kitchen/dining room: Electric Cooker, Microwave, Fridge/Freezer, Dishwasher, Washer Dryer
Bathroom: Bath With Shower Over, Heated Towel Rail, Toilet. Oil central heating, electricity, bed linen and towels included. Initial logs for wood burner included.. Enclosed garden with courtyard, sitting-out area and garden furniture. Private parking for 2 cars. No smoking.. Swallow Barn is a beautifully presented, two bedroom end of terrace barn conversion quietly set in a small, picturesque village in the Caldbeck Fells in Cumbria, one of the most beautiful regions in the country. It is the most delightful property in which to spend time away from home with its cosy wood burner in the living room, the comfortable beds and modern bathrooms, not to mention the delightful garden to the rear, it really adds that little extra something to a holiday in the Lake District.
The peaceful village of Torpenhow is the ideal spot for exploring the area. The even quieter Northern Fells are on your doorstep with many walks, yet easily accessible for day trips are the popular tourist towns of Keswick, Cockermouth and the historic city of Carlisle. The famous Hadrian’s Wall is only a short drive as well as Dumfries and Galloway, the Scottish Borders and the Yorkshire Dales. Pub and restaurant 1 mile.

We had a lovely stay in this cosy and comfortable cottage. We were near to the lakes, Northumberland and the Scottish Borders. It was every bit as peaceful as I had hoped. Everything inside the cottage was well considered and functioned as expected. Would definitely stay again.

Could have done with some j cloths for the kitchen and the bathrooms to keep them clean. Also some kindling for the first night would have been helpful.
An improvement that would have suited us is a shelter for bikes, and something to lock them to.
