The Swan Hotel nestles enticingly in extensive grounds and woodlands on the outskirts of Grasmere, in Cumbria. Dating from the 17th century, this imposing white painted building is set against a breath taking backdrop of fells and lakes. Rooms are comfortable and well appointed, with all the facilities you would expect from one of the Macdonald hotel chain. Many traditional features have been retained, including open fires in the winter. This is an ideal choice for walkers and cyclists wanting a comfortable base from which to explore the Lake District.
