The only member of staff who had a clue what Service was all about was a young Eastern European waitress. All of the Brits including the owners seemd to think that the guests were a necessary evil who should be grateful for what they received. The breakfast was dismal, the kitchen staff seemed unable to even use a microwave correctly... More

A weekend break at £45 a night, oiur room was better than some four star hotels I have stayed in (take note Barcelo!). If I could have got the pillow into my overnight bag then I would have nicked it! The staff were very friendly and helpful. The public rooms comfortable and inviting. Food is basic fare but so are...

A quick phone call to reception resulted in an apology and whilst we were out the next day our room was changed and the staff... More

Bathroom was a bit dirty, last persons empty shampoo bottle still in there but otherwise ok so possibly just an oversight. Quite a small room. though! Overall it was ok. The first lady we spoke to to book a room was pretty rude but after... More

stayed at this hotel in july 2011 as a couple we were in a double room in what felt like the attic very small and compact not much of a view. But comfortable beds and the food on menu was very nice and different although service was slow. Overall nice but would only stay there in passing on a deal. More

Have just returned from a very enjoyable stay at The Swan. The recent refurbishment has been undertaken to a high standard. The public rooms are nicely decorated as are the bedrooms. Our bedroom had a power shower and bath and flat screen TV with a wide choice of channels. The bed, in true Old English Inns style, was very comfortable.... More
