Let their imagination run wild

From swimming pools to playing pool

Here at the Swan, we’re so much more than a place to sleep. We’re family friendly for a start, and for that reason, it’s important to us that every member of the family feels at home when they visit – including the pooch!

We’re based in one of the most beautiful parts of the country and we want to show that off – our grounds are home to a whole host of exciting activities for the family to enjoy on a short break to the Lake District. Our adventure play park is perfect for little ones to let their imaginations run wild, while our family-friendly pool is the perfect place for a splash around. Over hot chocolates, enjoy a game of pool in our cosy library, or take your pick from our selection of board games.

Graythwaite Adventure!

Whilst you’re staying with us, why not visit Graythwaite Adventure? They are Cumbria Tourism’s ‘Experience of the Year’, who provide outdoor experiences right here on the shores of Windermere.

Guests can choose from 4 x 4 off-road driving with majestic views of the lake, clay pigeon shooting, archery and axe throwing from the nestled shooting site and bushcraft in the ancient woodland.

From April – October, watersports are available at Grubbins Point (arguably one of the best locations on the lake!) for paddleboarding, kayaking, canoeing and RIB tours.
