The Swan Hotel and Spa  

Riverside hideaway on the River Leven at the southern tip of Lake Windermere in Ulverston. A spa hotel minutes from Lake Windermere, Fell Foot Park, Lakeland Motor Museum, Lakes Aquarium and the Lakeside Windermere ferry landing — family-friendly and perfect for exploring the Lakes.

Set in a 17th-century coaching inn with character — think luxury rooms, cottages and suites and cosy lounges with roaring log fires. Rooms come with bathrobes, slippers, desks and kettles, and many guests enjoy riverside walks right from the grounds.

Holte spa with full-service treatments, indoor pool, steam room, sauna and massage rooms. Fitness centre, yoga area, a library and an arcade/game room keep everyone busy across the hotel's 14 acres and play areas. On-site bar, restaurant and coffee shop, free Wi‑Fi and self parking, plus concierge, laundry and accessible lift.

Business centre and event facilities with complimentary wireless internet and luggage storage for meetings and conferences.

First-class dining from the Swan Inn and Brasserie menus with a focus on locally sourced ingredients and regional ales. There’s also a bar/lounge and coffee shop, plus family-friendly options like special kids’ menus and bedtime milk and cookies.
