The Swan, Lake District Devastated during the floods last November, The Swan has had a £4 million refurbishment before opening again in style this summer, complete with Designers Guild wallpaper and designer furniture. And the boutique bolthole on the shores of Lake Windermere is the perfect winter weekend hideaway.

The restaurant uses local, seasonal food with fine wine to accompany it, and ale on tap at the Swan Inn – as well as snug corners with open fires to keep out the Cumbrian chill. Doubles cost from £99 per night.
