Lovely guesthouse ran by lovely people!

Alison and Karen were super friendly! They helped us park up when we reached out and they had homemade treats for the guests in the room, which was super sweet! They remembered names as well, which is a nice touch I've not experienced elsewhere before. The room was lovely, clean and comfortable. The breakfast was cooked to perfection as well. The location is super central, very ideal for exploring Penrith. Definitely will see if we can book this guesthouse again in the future!

The place was spotlessly clean, Karen and Alison were so friendly and welcoming on arrival and throughout our stay. Parking was in the backyard which was very convenient indeed. The location is brilliant for all the amenities Penrith has to offer, for dipping into the lakes during the day to carry out our activities returning on an evening and heading out for a nice meal and drinks. The bed and pillows were really comfortable great after a hard day's hiking and the lovely little personal touches like homemade fudge tablet, chocolate tiffin in our room. Being packed off with homemade flapjack every morning for our walks. The choice for breakfast was really good and my full English set me up every morning for my hikes that day. We will definitely be back and have recommended the Blue Swallow to our friends and family.

Nothing to complain about at all.

I will be coming back to Penrith just to stay here again.

Just a great place to stay, Karen and Alison are truly wonderful and ever accommodating. Breakfast spread in the morning is very generous and super tasty. Great chats, quiet at night, very clean and a bonus for Bunty the dog being an excellent side host.

From the warm welcome, when I arrived, through to my departure, everything was to perfection. The two Ladies that run the Blue Swallow are phenomenal, literally can't do enough for you. The breakfast menu again 10 out of 10, such a refreshing change to see that the menu has been carefully thought out and gives ample choice to start the day. The cooked breakfast portions are plentiful and always arrived at my table piping hot.

I liked there was a table in room to eat off, two fans in the room was great, most comfortable bed, the little extras in room, homemade cake, fudge, biscuits, and I mentioned I was coeliac and Karen gave me gluten free nibbles for the room and each time we went out for the day. Hospitality was excellent lovely hosts couldn't do enough for us Thank-you so much.breakfast was excellent.

Lovely hosts and a very comfortable stay

Really enjoyed my stay here where Alison and Karen were very friendly, approachable, personable and considerate of my needs for my stay. Room was clean, well equipped and the bed was comfortable. Blue swallow is a great location base to visit Penrith and the surrounding areas. Their home baked treats were lovely and breakfast was great. Would happily return here if I'm ever back in Penrith.

Fabulous guest house and only 10 minute drive to Ullswater, can’t recommend highly enough 😃

Fabulous welcome from start to finish. Breakfast was absolutely scrumptious albeit in the basement every effort had been made for a super stay at this lovely B&B. Immaculately clean and super comfy beds and added bonus of home made biscuits in our room with tea coffee. Recommended to all my friends 😃

Bathroom was tiny with a sliding door but that’s minor compared to the fabulous welcome you get throughout your stay

The Blue Swallow offers excellent value for money and is in a great location for anyone visiting.

The Blue Swallow is a superb B and B run by the owners Karen and Alison as very much a 'home away from home', Nothing that I asked for was too much for them. It was a great weekend and the fact that I was in the Blue Swallow made it even better"!

This B and B exceeded my expectations in every way to the point that I do not have anything to discuss concerning any negative experiences at the Blue Swallow. I would come again with no concerns whatsoever.

great place, lovely hosts and yummy breakfast. will 100% recommend and be back if I’m ever back in Penrith! thank you bo

lovely character, it felt very homely and it was really comfortable.

nothing - only thing I would add is perhaps having a communal seating area separate to the kitchen to enjoy a cup of tea and some of the delicious homemade tiffin!
