6 Swan House

About this property

6 Swan House sits quietly within the waterside marina village of Tewitfield, Lancashire, offering a well-designed and welcoming place to stay for families or friends. With calm views across the marina and easy access to both Lancashire’s countryside and the Lake District, it provides a balanced base for days out and time spent at home. Inside, the open-plan living space feels light and sociable, making it easy for everyone to spend time together. The kitchen is fully equipped for anything from simple breakfasts to home-cooked evening meals, while the dining area is perfectly placed for sharing food and planning the next day’s adventures.

The sitting area is arranged for comfort and conversation, with large glass doors opening onto the private decking and framing the ever-changing marina scene beyond. This outdoor space is ideal for a quiet morning coffee or an evening meal as the light fades over the water. A ground-floor cloakroom adds a useful, practical touch. Upstairs, two thoughtfully presented bedrooms provide flexibility for different groups. The large bedroom includes its own en-suite shower room, offering welcome privacy, while the twin bedroom works well for children or additional guests. A family bathroom completes the accommodation, fitted with a bath and shower over, basin, and WC which helps out with those busy mornings.

Outside, the decking offers a peaceful spot to sit and watch the boats drift by with a favourite drink of choice in hand. The marina itself has a friendly pub and a local shop within easy walking distance. Lancaster is close at hand for days exploring its historic castle, Williamson Park, and the City Museum. Windermere is also easily reached, where you can enjoy a lake cruise, visit The World of Beatrix Potter, or wander through the beautifully kept Holehird Gardens. Beyond this, the Lake District National Park opens up a wealth of walking and cycling routes, with well-known locations including Scafell Pike, Grasmere, and Tarn Hows.

Whether you’re planning busy days out or slower moments by the water, 6 Swan House offers a calm, well-located retreat in an appealing marina setting.

The picturesque hamlet of Tewitfield is settled in Lancashire beside the Lancashire Canal. Stroll along the Tewitfield Canal Locks for scenic views of the countryside, ideal for avid walkers and cyclists. The village is home to a marina, where you will find barges and boats and across the road is an excellent farm shop selling local produce and hosting crafts. You can enjoy dining at a County Inn, Longlands Hotel with a restaurant serving traditional meals. Have some family fun at Crazy Golf @ Greenlands and enjoy exploring the surrounding area, with Pike Lake for a peaceful afternoon and Cinderbarrow Miniature Railway slightly further afield. Jump in the car and visit the market town of Carnforth for a wide selection eateries and specialty shops for a souvenir to remember your holiday by. Steeped in history is the bustling town of Kendal, where you can explore a Georgian Manor, the 12th century ruins of Kendal Castle and unveil the past at the museum.
