interiors and is within easy walking distance of Dove Cottage where Wordsworth wrote so many of his poems. Its intimate atmosphere and superb position overlooking the Vale of Grasmere brings guests back year after year with an excellent warm atmosphere and friendly staff.
Inn dating back to the 1600's the charming ambience and relaxing atmosphere creates the perfect place to slow down and unwind and let our caring team look after you. The Macdonald Swan Hotel (to which Lake District poet William Wordsworth affectionately refers in his poem ?The Waggoner?) is the perfect base for exploring the Lake District. It prides itself on its centuries old reputation for true English Hospitality and personal service, and welcomes back many loyal customers year after year. NON SMOKING POLICY In line with the ?Smoking, Health & Social Care Act, which came into effect in July 2007, the Hotel operates a non smoking policy in all guest rooms, public areas, function suites, bars and restaurants. We kindly request that guests observe the non smoking policy at all times.
Advantages: Friendly and Comfortable Disadvantages: In need of some updating
...cosy and a great place rto meet other people. All drinks and meals in the pub can be charged to your hotel bill.
The downsides of the hotel are that there is a car park but if the hotel is busy this can be limited and parking in Grasmere can get expensive. The pool is very nice but the gym is very small with only a bike and a treadmill. The reastaurant could do with some updating but the breakfast was very nice (we only stayed B&B).
Overall, I would reccomend this hotel, it is friendly and comfortable and a good base to explore the lakes....

Advantages: Very tranquil, pretty setting and beautiful hotel Disadvantages: Car park is about 500 yards from entrance - when it rains you get very wet!
...My partner and I stayed at The SwanHotel in Newby Bridge last weekend and i felt compelled to share our experience with others...
The hotel is located at the Southern tip of Lake Windermere and overlooks the River Leven. It is in an absolutely beautiful setting, is accessed via a small bridge and is set right back from the main road.
I think in total it has 55 bedrooms, some of which are suites - but we opted for a standard double during our stay.
We were in room 313 and this had a river view - as do all the odd numbered rooms i think. The room was very spacious and the bed was extremely comfy (although very soft). The bathroom was perfectly pleasant, although decorated in a slightly 'old fashioned' way. You get a few select Sky Channels in the rooms and also broadband is available. The minibars are well stocked but...

Advantages: old site, friendly staff Disadvantages: rude guests, and no dry walkways between buildings
...Im not writing this as a review of the hotel from a guests point of view but a staff members view.
I was a member of the bars team at this hotel for 18 months on a casual basis. Firstly the hotel is near Bolton in Bromley Cross, to get to it, there is a train station in Bromley x itself, also buses run from bolton to bromley x, although these dont run up to the hotel. A taxi from boton centre costs about 5 pounds.
Id not recommend getting the bus as the hotel is up a hill and the hill is quite steep, trains run i think hourly between bolton and blackburn (bromley x is a minor station on this line). Once on the hotel site the first thing you will notice is the lawns to either side of the driveway. At the top of the drive is the small car park, this is the best place to park while you check in at reception. The hotel is made up...

Nusrat in a diferent style.
Its hard to think what the thinking was behind this concert. It could well be as Nusrat often said he changes his music to suit the audiance. On this occasion it could well have been a step to far. Nusrats voice shines as... more
