I travel a lot for work and stay hotels 2-3 times a week, when I say this hotel is clean I mean immaculately clean. The rooms are spacious and comfy, the staff are incredible but the food in the restaurant was simply stunning. Say hello to Nellie and Nigel and of course Parker the dog.

My family enjoyed a wonderful stay at The Swan. We stayed in a spacious family room that comfortably accommodated us and our two children (bunk beds were a hit!) The room was spotless, comfortable and inviting. The restaurant included kid-friendly options, and everything was delicious. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer to enjoy the beautiful setting and garden. Be sure to check out the public footpath off the lane above the hotel!

Perfect short break
The hotel was so convenient, a 10 minute stroll to Grasmere but the location was perfect, the best of both worlds. The satff, food and atmosphere added to the hotel stay, we cannot recommend them more!
