Loved the cozy atmosphere and the beautiful Christmas decor, it really made our stay special. The sunny garden was perfect for relaxing with a hot drink while the kids played, creating lovely family memories. The only hiccup was some barking from dogs during our visit, but that didn’t ruin our time at all! 😊

Charming Stay with a Cozy Atmosphere

Enjoyed a warm, memorable experience with a beautiful, upgraded room. The dining area features blazing log burners, making it a perfect retreat after a day in the Lakes. Tip, the cooked-to-order breakfast stands out, so don't miss it!

Charming stay with minor issues

Enjoyed a peaceful night in a cozy budget room with stunning views. Although service was slow during dinner, the steak was cooked perfectly. A tip, try to avoid peak dining hours for a smoother experience. a lovely location despite some service hiccups!

i had a wonderful stay at the swan after a long couple of days hiking. the room was spacious and clean, featuring a massive comfy bed. the relaxing atmosphere made it special, and the food was simply delicious. the staff, especially the friendly reception chap, really enhanced my experience. it’s a great base for walking in the area, making it ideal for exploration.

Oh mate, the culinary delights at The Swan were a real treat! The hotpot was tasty despite its size, and we savored the local charms nearby— Emma's Dell was a gem! Plus, the cozy bar had a good vibe for unwinding after a day of exploring.

The dining experience could use a sprinkle of improvement. The evening meal left me wanting more, as my lamb hotpot was a wee bit small, and the carrots felt like they were just thrown on the plate. A bit of creativity in serving would go a long way!

The swan has some of the friendliest staff around. they really made our stay special. the room was spacious and very clean, which was perfect for our family reunion. we loved the food, especially the dinners served in the evenings! plus, the location is great, being close to many scenic walks. a spa day here would really be the cherry on top!

i strongly recommend.

Gorgeous garden area, historic ambiance, stunning views from rooms

Bathrooms could use serious upgrades!!! Noise disturbances from nearby rooms were quite distracting. Limited parking spaces also added to the hassle of our stay, especially during the busy weekend!!!

Couldn't recommend more for a short interlude

Comfortable room, friendly staff, complete amenities, including the standout large walk-in shower and a welcoming bar/lounge area, made our stay truly enjoyable.

Couldn’t ask for better.

The staff's friendly demeanor really made our stay enjoyable.

The dining options felt quite limited, especially at dinner times.

Had a fantastic time with friends! We hit up some great places like the Championship Course with its stunning views, and the Spey Valley Resort which was a golfers' paradise. The location of the hotel was perfect, and we enjoyed comfortable rooms with excellent facilities. Breakfast was delicious too, setting us up for a day of exploring.

We did encounter an issue with our bags being left unattended at check-in, which felt a bit concerning. The staff's response wasn't as helpful as it could have been.

Perfect for Family Getaway

We had a delightful stay at this charming hotel! The family room was spacious and clean, providing all the essentials for a comfortable stay, and our kids loved the bunk beds. Breakfast offered a fantastic selection, including freshly made pastries and cooked options that were absolutely delicious. A minor downside was having to navigate some stairs with our belongings, as the layout can be a bit tricky, especially with larger suitcases.

The hotel boasts a fantastic location with stunning views, ideal for exploring the hiking trails. The hearty English breakfast each morning was impressive, offering a wide range of hot and cold options. the mattress in our average-sized room was sagging in the middle and needs replacing. the check-in process felt slightly disorganized, which could be improved for satisfaction. a pleasant stay with a few minor issues.

Staying at The Swan in Grasmere was a delightful stop for my hiking trip. The room was spacious, clean, with a massive comfy bed that made relaxation easy. The atmosphere felt warm and inviting, especially after long days outdoors. Breakfast options were great, setting us up perfectly for our adventures. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making me feel welcomed. the dining experience could use some improvement. While the food tasted good, my evening meal lacked creativity, with portions that felt a bit small and uninspired. I noticed several menu inconsistencies during my stay too, which could be confusing. The location is perfect, giving easy access to trails and beautiful views, but the noise from the busy road at night was a bit bothersome. I also found the bar staff a little slow to respond, especially during peak times. I had a lovely time, but with some attention to the dining options and service efficiency, it could be even better.

warm cozy atmosphere with friendly staff and enjoyable dining experience

There was plenty of wardrobe space both for hanging clothes and shelves for other clothes.

Had a lovely stay! The food was outstanding, with an unforgettable lamb curry that exceeded my expectations. The cozy atmosphere was perfect for relaxing after a day out. I can't wait to return!
