"Nice, but snooty"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Aug 31, 2012
We liked the room; very spacious with a great bathroom. Just barely out of comfortable walking distance to the pier & village w/ our two young children. The staff was properly polite, but we felt out of place having our kids with us. We didn't know about the evening dinner dress code until after we arrived. Judging by some of the guests waiting, we felt unwelcome & went out for dinner. Breakfast was good, but we had to wait quite a while before our order was taken. There should have been more than one person able to take an order when guests arrive close to each other. I think it's perfect for travelling with friends or as a couple.
"Swan Hotel - great base for hiking"Reviewed by John K of "Chicago, IL" on Sep 2, 2011
My wife and I stayed at the Swan for three days of walking/hiking in the Grasmere area. We were a bit concerned by previous reviews noting that the hotel was a bit run down but we needn't have been. The hotel has undergone some refurbishment (as noted by the manager in replying to the reviews) and all is quite nice and invitingly comfortable. Our standard room was spacious, well maintained and had a magnificent, unobstructed view of Helvellyn Massif and Helm Crag (northwest facing) - one advantage of not being in the center of Grasmere (which is still just a short walk down the road, however). Our bed was superbly comfortable and the period decor fit the setting nicely. The staff were very helpful with all our inquiries and all were extremely friendly, including the house cleaning staff. We did not take any meals in the hotel, however, as we like to try different places. One restaurant in Grasmere that we recommend highly is Potted Out: delicious Mackerel pate and rabbit casserole. For some challenging but not killer hikes (we are 60 and 55 years old but fit and hike often) of 5-6 hours each including stops for lunch we recommend, 1) Fairfield, which goes out directly behind the Swan and ends back there as well, even if you descend via Rydal Fell by making a traverse back past Alcock Tarn, and 2) Sergeant Man via Silver Howe and Blea Rigg between Sickle Tarn and Easedale Tarn, with a return directly down past the latter. Incredible views from the summits of both.
