The Swan Hotel, CumbriaCharacterful Lake District stay in an 18th-century coaching inn

• Inn style: Sitting on the banks of the River Leven, The Swan Hotel blends hints from its history with heaps of style and modern comfort. Historic features are scattered throughout the property - a cast-iron fireplace here, a timber-beamed ceiling there - in between vintage-inspired furnishings and bright floral patterns that bring the 18th-century coaching inn to life. Guest rooms feature the same vibrant style, with luxe details like crystal lampshades and velvet upholstery lending a touch of glamour.

• Local and delicious food: When you get peckish, there’s plenty to choose from: feast on fine-dining cuisine and carefully-selected wine pairings at the Brasserie, or opt for British pub classics at the relaxed Swan Inn. Menus are crafted around seasonal, locally-sourced produce, giving you a flavoursome taste of Cumbria. Don’t forget to take a snack break at the Café, on hand for coffee and cake, smoothies and milkshakes, or perhaps a tempting tipple.

• Spa bliss: Revel in peace and relaxation at the hotel’s spa, where you can steam in the Finnish sauna, soak in the jacuzzi or swim in the indoor/outdoor hydrotherapy pool. Take your wellness to the next level with the experience showers (with settings from tropical rain to cold waterfall), indulge in a bespoke treatment, or simply kick back on a lounger and sip a cocktail as you enjoy the countryside tranquillity.
