8/10 Very good

Nice hotel, but expensive.

Hotel was lovely. Room was perfect for a young family of 4, unfortunately the window in our room didn’t open which meant it did get quite warm on the evening and throughout the night. We found food and drink to be very expensive and would expect much better quality given the location and the price. Breakfast was great. Scores on the doors 3.5-4/5.
Matthew, 1-night trip

Excellent, highly recommended.
Diane, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely stay

Hotel as described. 10 minutes walk into Grasmere. Free parking, although I doubt enough if hotel at capacity. Bus stop outside. Breakfast was nice & plenty of options. We had dinner one evening and it was good & good value. Dog friendly, in fact Luna felt bery welcome! We decline one days room clean in exchange for a couple of free drinks, that was a nice idea and encoraged reuse of towels etc All in all great stay

Lovely stay at the Swan

Very enjoyable stay. Our room was nice & big and the bathroom was spotless. Comfy bed but would have liked a softer pillow. Very friendly, helpful staff.

I loved the location of this beautiful Inn. I got a warm welcome from the team and enoyed a delicious sunday roast while waiting for my room. Room 10 has a terrible view and noise from the aircon. It is spacious and nicely decorated with a large shower room. There is free parking, wifi and good facilities in the room. Breakfast is lovely and there is a wonderful beer garden

When can I come back!

Amazing stay! Clean and with some history too. Excellent location to all places we visited. Staff were really helpful when needed & pleasant. Food was a bit out of our budget but we did eat here & you can see why the quality of food was impeccable. When can we come back?

Lovely hotel, staff brilliant & good food, the breakfast was excellent. We are not dog owners & liked the fact dog friendly areas are cleared designated & kept well away from the breakfast & bar areas!

Food and atmosphere in the.pub was good. Room was very hot, 0nly a small window so very little air. Beds and pillows very uncomfortable. Room difficult to find and not much help from colleague I asked.

Location is fabulous.

Fabulous location, 5 minute walk from centre of Grasmere. Great rooms but bed and pillows very firm only downside. Some people may prefer that. Pub itself has a great menu and beer selection, plus a fabulous breakfast. Great value for money. Public transport all over local area from bus stop outside front door.
