Steve Traveller
Swallow Barn is close to the vibrant town of Penrith and within reach of many places of interest in the Lake District to explore. This property is a delight to stay at and ideally suited to couples and those looking for a relaxing break or if on their own for pleasure or business trips. The guest bedroom boasts great space, luxurious bedding a super king size Simba mattress alongside, a 43” flatscreen smart TV, ample wardrobe space, tea and coffee making facilities. The bathroom is shared with the one host, Steve, however I will always give my guests priority use during their stay. Well behaved dogs are more than welcome to enjoy the unique experience of a stay at Swallow Barn. Free parking is available for all guests for the duration of their stay. The courtyard is available for sitting outside in better weather. When making a booking please can you state your planned arrival time as I live on my own. I do have a key safe also for rare occasions that I may not be here to greet you upon arrival. Thank you. I will contact you in the morning of your arrival to give you more detailed directions and ask for an estimated arrival time as to ensure I am here to greet you upon arrival. PETS: PLEASE NOTE THAT FOR CONSIDERATION TO MY NEIGHBOURS SAFTEY AND THEIR CHILDREN CERTAIN BREEDS OF DOGS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO STAY AT SWALLOW BARN. PLEASE CHECK WITH ME FOR CLARIFICATION BEFORE BOOKING. THANK YOU. The full property address is: 1 Kemplay Foot Farm, Eamont Bridge, Penrith, Cumbria, CA10 2BD
I was an ex British Airways long haul cabin crew servicing in premium cabins such as Business and First. I looked after many celebrities and important dignitaries. I treat all of my customers/guests like I would want to be treated myself and understand the importance of making people feel special and cared for at all times. I want you to feel comfortable and at home during your stay at Swallow Barn. A key is available for the front door so you can come and go as you please. I moved to Cumbria in March 2021. I have had a few renovations carried out such as the courtyard. The property consists of a well behaved Labrador called Willow and my Macaw Parrot called Fred. For guests not keen on dogs I will ensure that Willow is kept away from guests at all times. I encourage all guests to ask me should they require something or to tell me if something is not right for their expectations. I also ask again on check out if everything was satisfactory for them. Your experience is extremely important to me.
A short drive from the M6 and A66 just off the A6 within a small private residential enclosure, Kemplay Foot Farm is located, coming from Penrith roundabout you will see Swallow Barn on your right before the traffic lights. 2 pubs in Eamont Bridge which both serve great food. Tim Hortons has just opened just off the roundabout going onto Penrith. There are a couple of walks either side of the river should you need to take your dogs for a walk nearby. Not far is the heritage site of King Arthur’s round table dating from about 2000 BC. Brougham Castle and Hall are walking distance too should you wish to see some local history during your stay here.
