A Home Away from Home The room may not be large, but it is cozy and impeccably clean. The homemade shortbread (complimentary) is absolutely delicious. The staff are very friendly, and Candy, who is as sweet as her name suggests, even picked us up when we struggled to find the house using the postcode. The location is perfect, just a short walk away from Crow Park, Hope Park, and Derwent Lake. Next time we visit Keswick, or if any of my family or friends do, we will definitely stay at Fellback again. The breakfasts were heavenly.

I had a fantastic stay at my landlord's property in the UK. The room was spacious and impeccably clean. Our landlord was incredibly patient and provided us with great assistance, ensuring a wonderful experience during our stay. Overall, it's a great value accommodation, and I'll definitely choose to stay here again when my family visits the UK in the future!

Comfy bed, lovely decor, immaculately clean, sweet little courtyard for breakfast. Friendly, helpful hosts. Gorgeous little town! Had dinner and watched the football at The Beehive, a cute and cosy pub 5 mins walk from Swallow Barn. Highly recommended! Next time we visit from Australia, will definitely be back x

The location is great - short 5 to 10 minute walk to the town centre. The are multiple hiking trails accessible from the accommodation and also from Grasmere more generally. The cleanliness of the accommodation was incredibly high. The pillows and bed were incredibly comfortable. I appreciated little extras such as a mini fridge, kettle, teas and biscuits. Michael was a lovely host who provided lots of information on hiking trials and good spots to eat. Very friendly and kind. I will definitely return in the near future.
