We called in for lunch on spec. Ordered a drink and looked at the menu. Food looked v pricey - haddock & chips, £15.95 - and little choice, esp for vegetarians so decided to try elsewhere. Asked if there was a mistake when I had to pay £3 for a mineral water. Obviously, out of my class.

Just returned from a fabulous weekend at this lovely country hotel. Everything was great. Very comfortable room, friendly and attentive staff. Good food and wonderful surroundings. Cannot wait to visit again, especially in winter with glorious log fires and comfy chairs!

The January 2 nights for 1 offer brought this upmarket hotel within our price range and we were not disappointed, Decor, staff, food and facilities were all excellent. The Old Swan rooms are more individual and homely than those in the Minster Mill, and closer to the roaring log fires we appreciated after winter walks. Complimentary sloe gin also helped keep out the cold. Mobile phone reception is erratic, but we were allowed free use of a PC linked to a landline, so no real problem. Also the shower and bath controls in some bedrooms are quirky : when all else fails, read the instructions!

My wife and I came here for my surprise birthday meal which she had arranged. It was an excellent meal, my wife said 'the best burger she had ate in a long time' the service from the staff was very good and they are all very friendly. We ate in the newly built dining room which is excellent and is very in keeping with the British Cotswold feel The Swan already has. We live relativly close to Minster and we both agree this is the best place to eat at an reasonable price. We will Definatly be returning and would like to also stay some time too.
