About Swallow Barn

Tucked into the picturesque Loweswater valley, Swallow Barn occupies part of a traditional farm complex dating back to 1670, where centuries-old stone walls and original beams create an atmospheric backdrop for a genuinely peaceful stay. The site welcomes dogs and families year-round, offering straightforward facilities—showers, toilets, drinking water—without WiFi, which seems entirely in keeping with the unhurried rhythm of this corner of Cumbria.

From here, you're well placed for walks around Loweswater itself or forays into the wider Lake District, with Cockermouth's Georgian streets and Wordsworth House just a short drive away. It's the sort of spot where the emphasis falls squarely on the surroundings rather than the site itself, suiting campers after a genuine farm stay and a quiet, traditional base.

What visitors say

Anne-Marie

Beautiful holiday let. 3 bedrooms on the ground floor including an enormous primary with en-suite. The family bathroom has a lovely large bath and separate shower. Upstairs there’s a beautiful open plan living, dining and kitchen area. The exposed beams and woodwork are gorgeous. Very comfortable and well equipped with everything you might need for your stay. Our dogs particularly enjoyed the low living room window looking out onto the road enabling them to spy on passers by. The tractor transporting two sheep was very popular. The location is wonderful, it’s a short drive to various beautiful walks. Most of the family are worn out and enjoying an afternoon nap today. Job done 🙂
