About this place

The Swan Hotel & Spa is a luxury boutique spa hotel located at the southern tip of Lake Windermere in the Lake District National Park. Set beside the River Leven at Newby Bridge, the hotel offers a blend of countryside charm, modern comfort and lakeside adventure, making it an ideal base for exploring Windermere, Bowness and Ambleside.

Perfectly positioned for discovering the region, The Swan is just minutes from Windermere Lake Cruises and close to the Lakeside & Haverthwaite steam railway. With a bus stop outside the hotel and scenic walking routes such as the West Windermere Way nearby, guests can explore the Lake District with or without a car.

Holte Spa, the hotel’s adults-only spa retreat, offers thermal journeys, an authentic outdoor Finnish sauna, naturally filtered pools and TEMPLESPA treatments. Guests can enjoy tailored spa days, luxury spa breaks and relaxing wellness experiences in beautifully designed relaxation spaces. Families are equally well catered for, with a dedicated family pool, health club and outdoor activity play park.

Accommodation ranges from boutique bedrooms and individually styled loft suites to family suites and dog-friendly self-catering cottages. Many rooms feature bold interiors and unique design touches, creating a distinctive Lake District stay for couples, families and solo travellers alike.

Dining at The Swan includes three on-site experiences. The River Room offers refined cuisine, The Swan Inn provides relaxed, dog-friendly pub dining with classic British favourites, and the café serves coffee, smoothies and homemade treats. Whether you are visiting for a spa retreat, lakeside adventure or celebratory event, The Swan combines relaxation, luxury and family-friendly hospitality in one of the Lake District’s most scenic locations.

The hotel also hosts weddings, corporate events, spa parties and special celebrations, supported by an experienced events team.
