The Macdonald Swan Hotel Grasmere has a great location in the beautiful Lake District. It is a truly memorable hotel, full of character and atmosphere, and possessing a charm that has accumulated throughout its fascinating history. The hotel basks in the dramatic and enchanting surroundings of central Lakeland, an area so beautiful the great William Wordsworth hailed it ‘The most loveliest spot that man hath found’. The venue is inextricably linked to the area so beloved of Wordsworth; he referred to the 17th century hotel in his poem ‘The Waggoner’. Fittingly, it remains a remarkable hotel from which the delights of the lakes can be savoured.
With its charming oak-beamed interior that combines traditional style with modern amenities, the Swan Hotel offers an old-fashioned boutique accommodation choice; appropriate for a 17th century former coaching inn. The best rooms at the hotel are the four-poster and half-tester rooms, with beautiful views towards Helm Crag and Dunmail Raise. Waggoner’s Restaurant, named for Wordsworth’s poem, provides tasty British food in refined surroundings. There are also two comfortable lounges, the Cygnet and the Green Lounges. The Swan at Grasmere’s location is ideal for those wishing to enjoy the surrounding countryside, but if you are looking for more of a spa break, guests of the hotel may use the leisure and spa facilities of the venue’s sister hotel, Windemere’s Old England Hotel and Spa. For meetings, the Cygnet Room is ideal for relaxed get-togethers, while for something a little more private there is a self-contained Cottage, with two rooms, a kitchen and lounge area.
The hotel sits in Cumbria in England’s northwest. It is in the heart of the Lake District, the largest of the UK’s National Parks. The Lakes have some of the country’s most spectacular and breathtaking scenery; the highest peaks, deepest valleys and largest lakes in England were sculpted by nature millions of years ago. Despite the great number of visitors who descend upon the Lake District throughout the year much of the area still remains gloriously secluded and remote, and the captivating scenery constantly changes throughout the year, making the park and the Macdonald Swan Hotel Grasmere a pleasure to visit no matter what the season.
