We were wandering through Stratford considering our dinner options when we found the White Swan. The menu looked interesting so we got a drink and placed our order. I chose the lamb, my wife - who has certain food allergies so has to be careful - the chicken. The duty manager, Chris, was very attentive to these issues and they ended up making a special sauce for my wife's chicken. Everything was not as we expected - but far far better than we expected. The presentation, the flavor, the service were all outstanding. Our only regret is that we leave tomorrow and can't eat there again.

We stopped in here for lunch before a walking tour of Stratford-upon-Avon today, thinking we would have an okay bite of food before trekking around the picturesque town for a few hours. We were immediately warmly greeted and allowed to wander through the beautiful joining rooms to pick where to eat.
A drinks order and concise menu later, we chose what turned out to be some delicious light lunch choices including a beautiful mackerel dish and a comforting and fresh sandwich. Drinks, coffee and lunch for 2 with change from £20 - outstanding value.
Later in the day, following a fabulous walk of the town and a jug of Pimm's, we returned for a spot of afternoon tea. Expecting tea for one to simply tickle the appetite of 2 ravenous women, we were greeted by a lavish afternoon tea stand which more than sated our appetites. This included spectacular swan shaped eclairs and absolutely irresistible finger sandwiches, along with perfect scones accompanied by beautiful runny jam and gorgeous clotted cream.
Again, under £20 for 2 including a crisp glass of prosecco and a more than generous jug of iced water, we felt as though we were ripping this newly opened pub restaurant off - particularly when compared to steep london prices!
The little details also thoroughly impressed, from attentive but friendly service through to the exceptionally clean and luxurious bathrooms. Given the look of the refurbished hotel attached, we will definitely be returning for much longer stay in the future.

My family stayed here recently and the welcome we got from Sarah, the assistant manager, was outstanding. You could not fault this hotel and their friendly, helpful and cheerful staff. The room was beautifully furnished and en-suite perfect. As the hotel is centrally located its a perfect base for anyone wanting to see Stratford and surrounding countryside. The meal in the restaurant was excellent as was the service and all very reasonably priced. The breakfast we were served was superb and again nothing is too much trouble for all of the staff here. This is definitely one of the best hotels i've experienced. Thank you again Sarah.

We have just returned from a weekend in Stratford. The hotel is absolutely immaculate ,the rooms are spacious and the food is amazing.But by far it's greatest asset is the staff.They are extremely friendly and nothing is too much trouble.

There are lots of hotels who could learn a lot from these people.
