About this property
The Swan Hotel is ideally located at the southern tip of Lake Windermere, with easy access to the region’s most beloved spots—just 20 minutes by car to Bowness, 25 minutes to Ambleside, and 15 minutes to Windermere town. We're well connected by the West Windermere Way, a scenic 20-minute walk from Windermere Lake Cruises, where you can set off on a boat trip to explore the lakeside towns from the water. Travel is seamless with a bus stop right outside the hotel, and the nostalgic Lakeside & Haverthwaite steam train just around the corner—perfect for sightseeing with or without the car. At The Swan, there’s something for everyone. We’re proudly family-friendly, with a dedicated family pool, a well-equipped health club, and an outdoor activity playpark to keep little ones entertained. For those seeking peace and pampering, our Holte Spa is an adults-only sanctuary, and we offer a collection of adults-only suites for restful escapes. After a day of exploring, relax and refuel right here at The Swan. Enjoy elegant dining in our Brasserie, cosy up in The Swan Inn pub, or grab a fresh coffee and homemade treat from our café. Everything you need for the perfect Lake District escape is right here. Whether you're planning lakeside adventures or a relaxing retreat, The Swan Hotel combines countryside charm, modern comforts, and thoughtful touches for families, couples, and solo explorers alike.
