The Swinside Inn

Room was lovely and the views amazing

My only gripe is that the duvet was far too thick hence I kept waking up as was too hot.

Dinner and Breakfast excellent. View from room stunning.

Comfortable, spotless, beautiful. Amazing food and lovely staff.

Everything, the rooms, the service, the staff, the location. Even the included breakfast was Savoy Grill quality. Sunset on the back terrace was stunningly beautiful and the Inn is a stones throw from Catbells hike. We'll definitely be booking again even if we have planned walks elsewhere, because as a base camp for the Lake district it's in a class of its own. Well done Sally and all her colleagues, everyone of you made our short stay perfect.

Having to give back the key and leave for home.

Magnificent views, friendly staff and amazing dining experience.

Nothing, all excellent.

Stunning setting below Cat Bells. The staff were so welcoming! It was great having drinks outside beneath the fells. The full English was delicious and staff at breakfast time were just so lovely.

It was a shame that the kitchen stopped serving by the time we arrived, but we were told the dessert kitchen was still open so we got a cheese board and sticky toffee pud which were both amazing! The rooms are small but refurbished nicely - you can hear the others in neighbouring rooms quite well so it’s just luck if they’re noisy or not.

Location was beautiful…an ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle. Our room was comfortable and clean with a lovely modern shower room. Breakfasts were great and the food at dinner was fabulous. Staff were very friendly and helpful especially the lady who served us at breakfast on a couple of occasions. She was lovely and recommended places to visit in the area.

We would have liked the restaurant to have been open Tuesday and Wednesday evening of our stay even if it was just for a light meal. The bar is also closed at 8pm on these days which was not helpful. It would’ve been nice to have had a drink at the bar after our day out. We arrived back just after 8pm on these days and everywhere was locked up with no staff around. We missed the addition of bathrobes and bottled water in our room. I prefer to have toast served at the table at breakfast rather than having to use the toaster ourselves.

Location was quiet and scenic. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. The room was beautiful and clean.

No food served on some days in the week, not advertised.

Breakfast was excellent, a good selection. Fabulous evening meal in the restaurant.

Beautiful location!

Not normally a problem, I’m sure, but the room was too hot. There was a heatwave but the radiators were still on and the curtains wide open for a huge window facing the sun.
