The room we were allocated had great space and comfy chairs
United KingdomWe loved the welcoming atmosphere- all the staff were lovely and very helpful as we had our dog with us too
United KingdomWe booked a dinner, bed and breakfast deal and the menu was varied, the food excellent and served hot. Our room was delightful (Room 4) with a superb view over Grasmere village. A regular bus service to Kendal and Keswick stops right outside the hotel and is a convenient way to visit the main Lakes towns including Windermere and Ambleside without incurring the outrageous parking charges.
United KingdomThe selection of food available for breakfast was very good but do not go in late as there are empty platters.Good choice of evening meal. The slippers and robes in the room.
United KingdomLovely greeting from Ion and Danielle on our arrival. Their customer service is first class along with the rest of the staff. We stayed in room 24. The room was spacious and very clean, which had fantastic views. Very comfortable bed, bathroom had all the usual free toiletries. In the evening we ate at Tweedies which is only a short walk from the hotel. After a restful night we enjoyed a lovely breakfast. There is plenty to choose from, whatever your dietary requirements. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel and cannot wait to return.
United KingdomGood selection on the breakfast menu. Also the location was quite central to travel to other places in the lakes. Staff were very welcoming and attentive. The room was spotless. This is the third time we have stayed at the Swan and hopefully we will stay again.

United KingdomRoom was clean and well appointed. Food was excellent and the staff welcoming and hospitable.
