About Swan Lodge

Swan Lodge is a single-storey holiday lodge in Swannington, Leicestershire. This modern retreat sits just 1.4 miles from Coalville. Every bedroom has its own TV - perfect for those holiday arguments about what to watch!

The surrounding countryside offers plenty to explore. Sence Valley Forest Park provides walking trails through woodland and around lakes. Mount St. Bernard Abbey is worth visiting for its peaceful grounds. Field Sport UK Activity Centre offers shooting and outdoor activities if you fancy trying something different. After a day out, you can soak your tired muscles in your private hot tub on the enclosed decking - with a favourite drink, obviously.

The accommodation features two bedrooms - one king-size and one twin, both with TVs. There's a shower room with walk-in shower. The open-plan living space includes a kitchen with gas oven, hob, fridge/freezer and a comfortable sitting area with Smart TV. WiFi throughout means you can still post those hot tub selfies (careful with those angles though).

Visit Twycross Zoo (12.3 miles, 25 minutes), the 1620s House and Garden at Donington le Heath (4 miles, 10 minutes), Grace Dieu Priory ruins (2 miles, 5 minutes), or Sunnyside Adventure park (5 miles, 15 minutes).

Swan Lodge is ideal for small families or friends wanting a countryside break with modern comforts. The children's park with sensory area is already open and there's an on-site shop, bar and restaurant coming in 2025.

Just got back from our 4 nights stay, already looking to book again in summer! Had a lovely time, well needed break away to a quiet site, fishing was good, caught a few silvers. Hot tub was even better! The owners were fab, always there to help if we needed anything.
DANIEL
Amazing place! Will definitely be returning
Robert
Lovely clean equipped place, great place to go and explore the local area which we did. Would recommend to anyone. Lovely place and very friendly people. If I was going to be picky and only because we cooked pizza would be a pizza cutter and maybe a pizza tray? But thats just being picky
Alexandra
Beautiful caravan and site, in a good location. A short drive away from lots of different places. Well equipped caravan with everything we needed. The mattress was slightly springy for us but that is just personal preference. In the listing it said 2 tvs and there was only 1 but that didnt affect us. Hot tub was a lovely addition, chlorine levels just seemed very high as it took the colour out of our swim shorts and bikini. Overall, lovely stay and would stay again! We have recommended to others.
