Swinside Inn

Outstanding in so many ways We stayed for 5 nights and it was one of those rare places that truly stays with you. The staff went above and beyond to make us feel at home: warm, professional, and offering impeccable service. The chefs clearly take great pride in their work. We were welcomed with homemade cookies and I even got to try some of their handmade chocolates during dinner. A beautiful cooked breakfast was included with our stay each morning and it was a real highlight, delicious and thoughtfully prepared. As a vegetarian, I’m used to limited options but not here. The variety and creativity were impressive. We ate dinner here on three nights because the whole family loved the food, the service, and the atmosphere. The setting is beautiful, with stunning scenery and the rooms were serviced daily. On our last day I was stuck for how to get home and the manager kindly gave my son and me a lift to the bus station, something I truly appreciated. Absolutely loved our stay. Fond memories for the whole family. Highly recommend and will definitely return.

Absolutely gorgeous stay here at Swinside. Staff were so friendly and approachable, making us feel very welcome. Evening meal, wine and breakfast were absolutely delicious, thank you! Special shout out to the breakfast staff, who were so lovely. Will definitely come back.

We popped in this pub on one of our walks, and had a pint of Timothy Taylor Landlord which was really nice. A lovely big outdoor seating area some of it covered. Seems very nice indoors too.
