Located at the foot of Lake Windermere, The Swan Hotel and Spa features a nature trail for children and family suites complete with doll houses and PlayStations. It boasts outstanding spa facilities. The hotel has an indoor pool and a children's menu, making it genuinely family-friendly.

Summary of reviews related to the 'Family' categoryThe Swan Hotel and Spa offers some child-friendly amenities with the added bonus of being dog-friendly too. Families can enjoy a range of activities to keep occupied in bad weather, although some guests expressed concern over poorly supervised children running amok in the swimming pool and lobby areas. Visitors with furry friends, on the other hand, were more than happy with the hotel's welcoming attitude towards dogs, providing towels and even a bowl for their four-legged companions. However, some guests also reported that there were too many hordes of kids causing a racket at night, making it hard for those seeking a romantic dinner or peaceful rest. Despite some staffing issues, the luxury accommodations nevertheless managed to feel relaxed and family-friendly at the same time, giving families a perfect setting to celebrate special occasions such as a New Year birthday break with happy humans and a delighted dog. But for those wanting more variety beyond the hotel premises, there seems to be nothing else within walking distance worth exploring.
