I stayed at the Swan for two nights in autumn. The setting is beautiful and the old hotel is very atmospheric, particularly sitting in the lounge in the big old chairs sipping a nice whisky after dinner. Or at the bar where the friendly staff make it a very pleasant way to while away an hour or two. We didn't... More

We stopped at The Swan for the May Bank holiday weekend, this was our second visit, the first around 10 years ago. Really friendly staff and food a lot better than it's 3 star rating.Bar / lounge / dining room areas very pleasant and cosy. Good choice of beers and a good (but slightly expensive) wine list. Room was huge... More

Second visit and greeted by Richard,DM,like long lost family! The Swan is like putting on a comfortable jacket,cosy and relaxing,nothing too much trouble-all this is down to the staff who are just so enthusiastic and helpful. Persuaded to eat in the hotel this time-superb! See you soon.

We stayed at the Swan hotel in March 2012 for a weekend break booked via Superbreaks. On arrival reception was very polite and helpful, location for South lakes is excellent. We had evening meal on first night which was very pleasant, the bedrooms are as you would expect for a 3* hotel, comfortable beds clean rooms, but a bit dated.... More

Stayed at Mcdonald Swan on Good Friday and enjoyed every minute. The staff couldn't do enough to help and the whole atmosphere is very welcoming! My wife, 2 children and I stayed in a family room which was very comfortable and not too tight for space either! The food in the bar was excellent and the breakfast was the BEST... More

We love this Hotel, it has such charm, we stayed in room 9 with a four poster bed, very comfortable and worth the upgrade to stay in the original part of the Hotel. Dinner and breakfast were excellent, can't wait to stay again!

Stayed here using the tesco vouchers, I did think the package was quite pricey and the price was bumped up due to using the vouchers. Would recommend the hotel was very clean, tidy and well-organised! Richard on reception was very helpful and knowledgeable. The room was lovely with fantastic views. The hotel is very well run, in your room there... More

Nice hotel with friendly staff, ask for Room 9 if you can . Love the Jennings beer, but think the food is overpriced. Try the jumble Room in the village its very good.
