The Waggoner's Restaurant

We really enjoyed our two night stay in The Swan. Very helpful staff throughout our stay and delicious food too. Breakfast was very well organised with plenty of room for all the guests. Nice that there was a separate area for guests with pets. A very good bar selection to finish each evening whether in the cosy bar area or in the well maintained beer garden. While the Swan is next to the main road this isn’t a problem as the traffic is quiet most of the time in the 40mph zone. It’s a short ten minute walk into the beautiful village of Grasmere we’re there is plenty to see in the independent shops, cafes and hotel bars. The views all around the hotel are fabulous with the magnificent fells and woodland. Well worth a visit!

Beautiful location just outside of Grasmere The pub was cosy with the log fire burning away. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left the staff could not have been any more helpful and made you feel welcome. every single one of them were constantly happy, smiling and polite. Nelly who I believe was the manager was brilliant. Breakfast was really good. A large selection of cereal, bread, juice and pastries and then several hot breakfast options included also. The eggs Benedict were very good. The bedroom was a good size, the bed was very comfy we had a great sleep both nights. Would highly recommended and would definitely stay again.

We stayed here for two nights in April 2024. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, the hotel is in a great location and has nice big rooms. It also has its own free car park which was excellent. The evening food is delicious but the cooked breakfast wasn't great unfortunately. There are both continental and cooked options included in the price In our room, the water pressure isn't very strong so bare that in mind whilst showering and the only place with enough light to do your makeup once the sun has set is in the bathroom so if you have low blood pressure or can't stand up for long periods i recommend bringing a ring light! There also appeared to be some mould on one of our pillow cases but we just didn't use it so it wasn't an issue. The pole in the wardrobe also seemed to be a mm or 2 too short so it kept falling down if we tried to put anything on it. So again, we just didn't use it. Overall very nice and would stay again, but I'd maybe bring a ring light next time!

Had a wonderful stay with our Labs at the Swan, staff could not have been more friendly, room was spot on, comfy bed, great shower. Bar area cosy with plenty of space in different areas to chill out, breakfast was so so tasty. Location is excellent, 5 min walk to the Gingerbread shop, several walks with stunning views. Free parking.
