Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about The Swan At Grasmere- The Inn Collection Group from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Swan at Grasmere is frequently praised for its ideal location, offering convenient access to both Grasmere village via a short walk and the surrounding fells directly from the hotel's back. Guests often appreciate the spacious rooms, some of which boast fantastic views of the fells and hotel garden, along with comfortable beds. The hotel's proximity to a bus route is a plus for many, facilitating easy travel to Keswick, Ambleside, and Windermere. While the family room might appear darker compared to its pictures and has a small window for some, the inn is well-regarded for its overall charm and tasty food.

poor cleanliness wall marks
The walls had flies and marks, i found it quite off-putting considering the price. attention to detail is needed. The cleanliness wasn't up to par! it's frustrating to pay a premium and not get that pristine feel, honestly.

Really good Stay

helpful staff lovely food excellent breakfast
The helpful staff placed me in a nice room. I found the food to be lovely and plentiful. Breakfast was excellent! I appreciated the homely feel with roaring log burners.
Despite asking for a quiet room, the noisy kitchen extractor fan was directly outside my window. The window did not close properly, defeating the purpose of the secondary glazing? I was certainly aware of the kitchen starting up early in the mornings, which affected my sleep.

Meals in the restaurant were very good, and breakfast offered plenty of choices. The food seemed well-prepared, and the service was attentive? I found the dining experience quite satisfactory.

Enchanting Stay Among the Fells

easy access fine view friendly staff comfy bed
Location provided easy access to nearby villages. The view of the village proved fine. Original chair of Wordsworth existed in the lounge, it felt amazing. Every staff member spoke friendly. The room was super clean. A good size comfy bed completed this stay.
I find the parking space is not always enough.
