The Swan Inn

The historic pub was lovely with a nice beer garden, but we weren’t told there was a code to enter at night; when we returned before midnight there was no one on site and we spent 40 minutes locked outside trying to get someone to let us in, and the lack of communication and absence of a formal apology were unacceptable.

“An enjoyable stay”

We adore the Swan for its food, setting, and ambience. This was our first stay, in the Turner room – a gorgeous two‑floor space with an outdoor area, very clean, private, and overall splendid. We dined twice, and the food and wine list were consistently excellent. The staff were very friendly, making the experience very pleasant. On the downside, the service felt unfinished; many young staff members were present, and I think more senior management could help. For instance, we ordered a pricey bottle of wine on the first night, it was placed on a cooler table, and the staff member walked away. At breakfast the next day, arriving around 10 am, the buffet wasn’t restocked, leaving only a few fruit pieces, a couple of yoghurts, and the end of a loaf of bread, with no glasses for the remaining juices. Coffee finally arrived, but without spoons or sugar, and I paid £9 for poached eggs on toast, which were just two eggs on a slice of bread – no fanfare. I don’t mean to complain, but when hotels hire staff on summer break, there should be more senior presence; the prices we pay aren’t trivial.

“Coup de cœur, c’était absolument parfait ! ❤️”

Everything was perfect – the quality of the services, the tasteful décor, the cleanliness, the friendly staff, the beautiful setting, the good bedding, the spotless bathroom, the excellent restaurant, and the breakfast. We fell in love and enjoyed staying at this hotel! The only downside is the location; there isn’t much to do nearby, but it’s very pretty, making it ideal for a short stop like ours.

“A truly wonderful stay – five-star comfort and exceptional hospitality.”

We stayed at The Swan Inn on 10th and 11th July and it was truly outstanding from the moment we arrived. Even though we got there later than planned, a friendly and knowledgeable gentleman welcomed us, shared the building’s fascinating history and the local area, and personally escorted us to our room, making us feel right at home immediately. The room was beyond what the photos could show – spacious, spotless, and furnished with every comfort, including lovely antique pieces that added character. The bathroom felt like a luxury spa, with a great bath and a superb walk‑in shower that was a real treat after a day of exploring. The private garden, full of colorful flowers and mature shrubs, was a peaceful haven and a thoughtful touch that made us feel even more special. Despite the hot weather, the room stayed pleasantly cool with a gentle breeze, and the bed was incredibly comfortable, giving us one of the best nights’ sleep in a long time. Breakfast was delicious, with plenty of options, and the staff were friendly, attentive, and welcoming, completing an already perfect stay. Every aspect – accommodation, hospitality, attention to detail, and surroundings – made this a truly memorable break. I can’t recommend The Swan Inn enough; it’s genuinely five‑star. Huge thanks to everyone for making our stay so enjoyable. We’ll definitely come back!
