Visiting Family in the area over the Bank Holiday week end, we decided to try the Swan for Sunday Lunch. We booked a table for 5 in advance, for 1.30 and on arrival had to search around to find someone to direct us to our table. A woman, who I assumed to be a manageress, pushed rudely past our party...

We use this hotel frequently for work and the rooms are generally very good. They are large, well furnished and because it is an old building there is some real character. But, sadly the food lets the whole experience down. The kitchen struggles to cope with parties greater than 4 and the food is of only reasonable quality and usually... More

My wife and I stayed here for one night with our small dog. We were given a nicely refurbished room with comfortable beds and although the view from our window was limited to say the least, we did not mind as we had been given a room which the hotel had earmarked for dogs! We all had a comfortable night.... More

Stayed for two nights in December, stayed in room 5 or 6 on top floor and had loads of room and although the bathroom was slightly dated it was a very nice room. For what we paid it was unbelievable value. The restaurant at night was excellent and breakfast was o.k in the mornings. All the staff could not have... More

Stayed for a couple of nights in March for my birthday and had booked a Superior room. We were allocated the Jane Austen room which was fairly large and had a 4-poster bed plus a bay window looking out over the High St. Despite being there for a Saturday morning it was still quiet as one way traffic and not...

Stayed at the swan for a few days over Christmas. The overall experience was lovely and the staff were very polite and accommodating. The food in the restaurant was also extremely lovely and despite coming down two minutes before the breakfast menu closed they still went out of their way to provide for us. I would recommend this hotel to... More

Stayed one Saturday night. Overall it was good but left with the impression there wasn't enough staff. Double room good size and clean but the ensuite was a bit cramped especially with a huge sink in it. Ate in the restaurant and initially tried to book by phone but no answer, then went down and told that only a table... More

Stayed at The Swan for 1 night in a party of 6 people and booked into the restaurant for an evening meal. On viewing the menu on of our party when prompted by the waitress asked what sauce was on the Chicken on the specials board he was informed 'whatever they have left in the kitchen' and expected us to...

I've stayed twice now at The Swan on a good value Sunday evening B&B deal, both times arriving by train. Its a short taxi ride from the station but there is a large car park at the back for those coming by car. I did try to confirm the second stay using my mobile on the train journey but was... More
