8/10 Very good

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

A great short break.

We had a 2 night stay in December. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Room was large and comfortable. Food was great and portions generous. Free parking and WiFi were welcome. Hope to visit again soon.

The Inn is located in walking distance to the village of Grasmere, surrounded by a lovely landscape. The Family Room with the Bunk beds was spacious and very clean, located in an annex it was truely quiet. Would definitely return!

Christmas bolt hole

Great well located hotel to explore the Lakes from. Recently renovated and attractive decoration throughout. Busy Christmas period and staff worked really hard to keep everyone happy. Great for dogs as well!
Terry, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Shannon, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cons: Non responsive to messages. We requested for an early check in- no response. We asked up to make up twin beds in one of our rooms, no response. Check in was also not the smoothest. We were just handed the keys and left to find our own rooms in a maze of a hotel. Would be nice if they had a dedicated check in desk and help with luggage etc and advise on where to park and how to access your room. Pros: The hotel was lovely and rooms were comfortable. Location was idyllic as well, surrounded by hills and farms and easy walk to Grasmere Village. Staff in the dining rooms/ bar was great as well.

Check in was easy. We had a family room, which was large and spacious. Very clean and well maintained. Dinner menu isn't extensive but there's enough to keep everyone happy, and what we had was delicious! Breakfast was very good too. Would definitely stay again!

Pleasant stay in a beautiful setting

Can’t really fault the stay, it was only one night, friendly staff on arrival. Room was great and a comfy nights sleep. Breakfast was superb. Only little thing that may help in future is not having to get up and leave your table to order at the bar, I didn’t want to leave my food and go to the bar to order another drink would have been nice to have some table service. Other than that a nice stay and would stay again!

Extraordinary customer service

Lovely old inn, recently renovated with lively restaurant, outdoor garden, and a very welcoming atmosphere. The customer service is extraordinary! We were waylaid by a flat tire with no support from the rental agency. The innkeepers were incredibly generous with their time, helping us get back on the road, and also showing us what makes Cumbria a special community. We will never forget our time there!
Leigh, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Was pleased that we were able to switch from a rear facing room to the front of the building. Best room views are at front of the hotel but as they’re next to a busy road which could sometimes be a bit noisy it would not suit everyone. Room was spacious and comfortable. Bathroom was fabulous. Food was good and I liked the policy of trading a morning room clean/bed made service the next day for a free drink each at the bar. We aren’t messy anyway, just shook duvet and plumped up pillows so wasn’t an inconvenience.
Karen, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent stay at The Swan. Staff were friendly, competent and nothing was too much trouble for them. Only one issue- my TV didn’t work properly and I was unable to access many channels. Normally this would not be an issue as I rarely watch it whilst away., but I missed a lot of the Olympics which I would have liked to see. The staff did their best but were unable to solve the problem. This didn’t impact on my stay however, and I look forward to returning as soon as possible. Thanks to everyone x
Anne, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Excellent accommodation, variable food.

The Swan at Grasmere was very welcoming, well kept and comfortable with friendly accommodating staff. The breakfast was lovely however we did feel the evening meal was their weakest aspect. The restaurant is lovely but one of our meals had over cooked chips and my husband’s meal was supposed to be pie of the week (beef) but was a surprise when he cut into it and got chicken! The staff quickly addressed this and brought a whole new meal. We did feel the cost of food and drinks was expensive but talking with other walkers staying in other establishments this seems to be the case in Grasmere itself. Our room (41) was very comfortable albeit immediately off the second car park. We didn’t notice any noise and whilst the view was not anything to rave over our room was very pleasant, comfortable and warm. Overall a pleasant relaxing stay.
