The details

If you’re searching for somewhere truly memorable for a big group getaway, Black Swan Manor in Kendal delivers in spectacular style. This luxury holiday house, cleverly converted from a historic pub, sleeps up to 16 guests and blends characterful original features with playful modern luxuries. Designed with celebrations and reunions in mind, it’s a place where friends, extended families and three generation groups can gather, unwind and make the most of time together.

Inside, the ground floor retains the sociable spirit of its former life, with open-plan living spaces created from the original bar areas. Here you can cook, dine and relax together with ease. The spacious kitchen is well-equipped for preparing big group feasts, while the large dining table invites long, laughter-filled meals.
