“Swangs Cottage”
We had a lovely week in the lakes walking etc. The cottage was of ample size and the beds comfortable, good WiFi and TV signal. It had everything sufficient for our needs (we couldn't get the dryer to work on washing machine though.. no instructions obvious or washing powder, which would have helped. There was a welcome bottle of wine which was much needed after a very late arrival. Overall, the cottage felt a little tired and would benefit with some tlc (cleaning and decorating). Great views towards Coniston Old Man though. In all ..perhaps a little expensive for what it was.

Response from the owner Thanks for your comments. The instructions for all appliances are in the instructions folder which are left with the welcome pack folder and wine. Unfortunately our price to guests is increased by 20+% when booked through Trip Advisor, making it much more expensive than booking direct. We do try to minimise the price through this channel accordingly.

“Cosy home-from-home in beautiful location”
Just home from fabulous week in Swangs. Great location to explore the countless activities, sights and adventures the South Lakes has to offer. Cottage was super cosy even in the chilly weather and a great base to return to after a day spent exploring. Just 25mins from Grizedale, Coniston and Windermere. Local pub, shop and chippy all excellent, as is Booths in nearby Ulveston. Will definitely be back

Response from the owner Thanks for your kind comments and for taking the time to tell us about the temporary wifi issue which meant it wasn't a surprise to us or the next guests and we could inform them that the network name and password had defaulted back to factory settings. So happy you enjoyed your stay and we hope to see you again some day. Steve
