Lock in a great price for Swarthmoor Hall - rated 9.1 by recent guests.

to get started.

Breakfast was well thought out and a fantastic price. 3x individual cereals, 4x individual jams, 2 slices of toast and a orange and apple juice every morning, per person. Location is fantastic, feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere but actually you’re only a 2 minute drive away from the local town. Plus there’s a great homely feeling pub 5 minute walk away.

A peaceful location ideal for visiting Ulverston, the orchard and walled garden are worth a walk through. The shared lounge/kitchen is very useful. Unfortunately although we were offered a free tour of the hall, this didn’t start until 10.30am and we needed to leave earlier. The bedrooms were very comfortable and as a single traveller I felt very safe.

The bed was so comfortable, beautiful grounds and surroundings.

The rooms were created in what was a Historical Barn. The Group of Rooms I was in had a joint Kitchen/ Diner with all the necessary facilities, that included a TV, Fridge, Dish Washer, and when booked, breakfast.

Housekeeping did forget to clean my room one day where I had left the towels on the floor for some fresh ones (so they were still wet) but luckily I was back before the staff go home at 6 and managed to get a replacement towel from the staff on reception.

It was not in the old part of the house, as expected from the photographs. Our bathroom wheelchair accessible and was a wet room, so the floor was very wet, and hair washing was a whole body experience! Please note that a wheelchair dependent guest would have trouble accessing the beds in their current location Breakfast was eaten in the staff kitchen, with associated coming and goings. There was only one easy chair in the bedroom.
The beds were very comfortable. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Good cafe and the Hall and gardens were lovely.

We were a little disappointed with the breakfast box. There was a selection of museli or weetabix, two slices of bread with butter and jams/marmalade. In the kitchen there was also milk and fruit juice. The kitchens are well resourced with kettles, coffee pots and toasters. We would have liked a croissant or pastry!
What a calm and peaceful environment. Everything was sparkling clean and fresh. The staff were friendly and helpful.
