2/10 Poor

Hotter than the jobs of hell!!!
I booked this hotel in the langdale valley as a surprise stay for me and my partner. We checked in around 4pm. On arrival the host told us they had a problem with the room the radiator would not switch off and had been like this for a couple of weeks. We entered the room it was hotter than the hobs of hell !! We were told to open the windows and give it half an hour. Which we did but made no difference. Even the host said he could not sleep in that room ? He told us they were fully booked and no other rooms were available. I resorted to finding another hotel in Grassmere called the Swan who found us a room and made it ready for us at an hours notice. My issues with this hotel are… 1 why were we not made aware of the problem with the room “BEFORE “ check in ?? 2 No effort was made to find a local Hotel alternative? 3 The host couldn’t give or authorise a refund on the day . Told us we would receive a call the next day . 4 We didn’t get a call back from the Hotel. 5 We had to call 3 x times left messages asking them to call back which they didn’t . In fact I got through at the 4th attempt. 6 I got no apologies for the state of the room and poor communication. Just told to call Hotels.com for refund. 7 There was no attempt to redeem the situation like offering a discount on another stay etc. My advise to anyone wanting to book this hotel is DON’T !!

Not up to standard
I really dont like doing this, but we decided that we wouldnt return to the Swann. We have stayed here for years and now it has changed hands and there were quite a few things that we all agreed wasnt up to standard.

My family enjoyed a wonderful stay at The Swan. We stayed in a spacious family room that comfortably accommodated us and our two children (bunk beds were a hit!) The room was spotless, comfortable and inviting. The restaurant included kid-friendly options, and everything was delicious. Our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer to enjoy the beautiful setting and garden. Be sure to check out the public footpath off the lane above the hotel!

Excellent stay at The Swan. Staff were friendly, competent and nothing was too much trouble for them. Only one issue- my TV didn’t work properly and I was unable to access many channels. Normally this would not be an issue as I rarely watch it whilst away., but I missed a lot of the Olympics which I would have liked to see. The staff did their best but were unable to solve the problem. This didn’t impact on my stay however, and I look forward to returning as soon as possible. Thanks to everyone x

Extraordinary customer service
Lovely old inn, recently renovated with lively restaurant, outdoor garden, and a very welcoming atmosphere. The customer service is extraordinary! We were waylaid by a flat tire with no support from the rental agency. The innkeepers were incredibly generous with their time, helping us get back on the road, and also showing us what makes Cumbria a special community. We will never forget our time there!
