The Black Swan Manor is an ultra-luxurious group retreat, stylishly transformed from a well-known pub in the heart of Kendal’s historic centre.
Sleeping up to 16 guests, accommodation is generously spaced over four storeys, with an array of sensory delights that mean you’ll be staging the most glamorous lock-in imaginable!
The ground floor is home to a huge, welcoming space that drips with style, expertly crafted from the original bar areas. Along with plenty of sumptuous seating for everyone, here you’ll discover a large TV with a built-in Sonos sound system, and an elegant kitchen area that’s sure to spark arguments over who gets to cook.
Congregate around the sociable dining table for that first-night feast, clinking glasses of bubbles over lively conversation. On summer evenings, carry your post-dinner tipples out to the boutique garden, where you’ll find a hot tub in prime position for catching the last rays of the sun.
In the mood for a movie? Head down to the stunning basement cinema room and take your place. There’s also a snooker room for competitive spirits, and a glorious cave bar with an enchanted fairytale feel, for those who want to continue chatting over drinks!
When it’s time to turn in, seven comfortable bedrooms will be waiting on the first and second floors. Each room is individually styled and lovingly furnished, with rustic wooden beams adding charm and character to your peaceful surroundings.
If you’re quick, you can claim the magnificent four-poster room for yourself… but don’t worry if you miss out, since there are also five gorgeous kingsize rooms (four of which can be made into twins on request) and a family room with two downy kingsize beds.
