Not up to standard
I really dont like doing this, but we decided that we wouldnt return to the Swann. We have stayed here for years and now it has changed hands and there were quite a few things that we all agreed wasnt up to standard.

My family enjoyed a wonderful stay at The Swan. We stayed in a spacious family room that comfortably accommodated us and our two children (bunk beds were a hit!) The room was spotless, comfortable and inviting. The restaurant included kid-friendly options, and everything was delicious. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer to enjoy the beautiful setting and garden. Be sure to check out the public footpath off the lane above the hotel!

Excellent stay at The Swan. Staff were friendly, competent and nothing was too much trouble for them. Only one issue- my TV didn’t work properly and I was unable to access many channels. Normally this would not be an issue as I rarely watch it whilst away., but I missed a lot of the Olympics which I would have liked to see. The staff did their best but were unable to solve the problem. This didn’t impact on my stay however, and I look forward to returning as soon as possible. Thanks to everyone x

Extraordinary customer service
Lovely old inn, recently renovated with lively restaurant, outdoor garden, and a very welcoming atmosphere. The customer service is extraordinary! We were waylaid by a flat tire with no support from the rental agency. The innkeepers were incredibly generous with their time, helping us get back on the road, and also showing us what makes Cumbria a special community. We will never forget our time there!
