Stayed 2 nights Nov. 2009. Nice room overlooking the lake, quiet and relaxing. Highlight was the fantastic breakfast - order the 'light' version if you're not a big breakfast person!! Very friendly & pleasant staff. If you plan to sit in your room watching TV missing out on everything around you, try somewhere else (small TV, very few channels).

Couldn't get internet access to work - the manager was very helpful and very nice, but couldn't contact the owner to fix the issue. Minor inconvenience since this was the end of my business trip. Bathroom was very very small, but to be expected. Shower had just a trickle of water - manager noted and apologized so hopefully they found the issue and fixed it.

Had great fish & chips from the shop next door, unfortunately didn't get chance to visit the local pubs. I would not hesitate to stay here again.

We have been there twice now and are booking for our third visit this year. It is lovely quaint little b&b and the service is second to none. The breakfasts are huge and very filling. We have now made it a habit to stay there on our way to Liverpool airport and start our holiday a day early by fishing in the region and staying at Swing Cottage. It sets us up for a good days travelling and we always leave there feeling very relaxed and in the holiday mood. There is everything you need on your doorstep but with a lovely rural feel. I love the tea rooms and craft shop attached, give it a really nice atmosphere! Swing cottage will always have a place in our hearts as this is where I proposed to my husband and we will always continue to go back. I would recommend this b&b to anyone and everyone.
