About this property

The Swan Hotel is ideally located at the southern tip of Lake Windermere, with easy access to the region’s most beloved spots—just 20 minutes by car to Bowness, 25 minutes to Ambleside, and 15 minutes to Windermere town. We're well connected by the West Windermere Way, a scenic 20-minute walk from Windermere Lake Cruises, where you can set off on a boat trip to explore the lakeside towns from the water.

Travel is seamless with a bus stop right outside the hotel, and the nostalgic Lakeside & Haverthwaite steam train just around the corner—perfect for sightseeing with or without the car.

At The Swan, there’s something for everyone. We’re proudly family-friendly, with a dedicated family pool, a well-equipped health club, and an outdoor activity playpark to keep little ones entertained. For those seeking peace and pampering, our Holte Spa is an adults-only sanctuary, and we offer a collection of adults-only suites for restful escapes.

After a day of exploring, relax and refuel right here at The Swan. Enjoy elegant dining in our Brasserie, cozy up in The Swan Inn pub, or grab a fresh coffee and homemade treat from our café. Everything you need for the perfect Lake District escape is right here.

Whether you're planning lakeside adventures or a relaxing retreat, The Swan Hotel combines countryside charm, modern comforts, and thoughtful touches for families, couples, and solo explorers alike.

- Our room was located in the old part of the hotel. There were lots of things that weren’t great about the room, but we did have a comfortable sleep (2 nights). The room could definitely benefit from a refurb. Broken shutters, cracked windows, not a very clean bathroom, and the corridor leading to the room was cluttered with trolleys for the whole time which did not give an impression this area of the hotel is well looked after.

+ The Staff are amazing - from the spa to reception to the restaurant and pub all the the staff were friendly, happy and helpful - nothing was too much trouble. The location and views from this hotel keep bringing us back again and again.
We stayed two nights - on the first morning as we left (10am ish) for a day out, we noticed other rooms on our floor had tags on the door handles to "refresh the room". I went back in and we didn't have one to hang out. On returning at about 3pm no one had been in- we saw a young lad in cleaning crew gear and asked him to refresh our room as we were going in the spa. It still wasn't done at 5:30ish and there were still tags on the door knobs on our floor. We didn't want the bed making or even more towels for two nights but more coffee and milk is a must. My husband did go down to reception and they had some brought up but this is not something you should have to chase.
