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.
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Fantastic one night stopover
Visit the lakes regularly, normally stopping in a holiday cottage however as we were only visiting for one night booked the Swan at Grasmere and so glad we did. Staff were very friendly and accommodating, room (budget room for £85 B&B) was perfect and large and think was only a budget room as it didn’t have much of a view. We ate out at the Yan Bistro up the road as we’ve been wanting to go there for some time (which I can highly recommend) so can’t comment on the food at the Swan but what we saw being taken to tables looked very nice. Breakfast was great with a lot of choice and cooked to order. Will definitely be staying again and will bring our dog next time as it’s very dog friendly!

Perfect little getaway
Was made to feel very friendly for start to finish. The room was lovely, spacious and clean. I mean very clean. The bathroom was spotless. Location is good, just outside Grassmere and the food was great. Will definitely stay with this hotel group again.

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.

Joseph, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

I travel a lot for work and stay hotels 2-3 times a week, when I say this hotel is clean I mean immaculately clean. The rooms are spacious and comfy, the staff are incredible but the food in the restaurant was simply stunning. Say hello to Nellie and Nigel and of course Parker the dog.
Paul, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Not worth the money, will be avoiding this chain
Once again really not happy with this hotel chain, had a bad experience before in Whitby and had the same experience now :( the room was like a motel room in a parking lot and extortionate price for what it was. Will be avoiding this chain in future. Staff were also rude at times and were all sat round socialising at one point when people were waiting at the bar to be severed. Not great

Comfort and convenience without braking the bank.
Great short stop for an overnight stay. Welcoming chatty staff, lovely food and clean spacious rooms. Great atmosphere and perfect location for Grasmere village. I'll certainly be going back.

Absolutely no allowance for early check-in. Common areas are lovely and cozy. Great and plentiful breakfast options. We had a long haul to our room lugging suitcases up and down many sets of stairs.
