A little bit dated and our room had quite a few stains on carpet and upholstery. Service at both the evening meal and breakfast was slow and appeared to be a lack of organisation/experince.

I had high hopes for the hotel given its social media presence but found it in need of a bit of tlc. The food and drink were really overpriced, we waited 45 minutes for breakfast then when asking if all was ok found the order had been lost and there was another 20 minute wait. Staff were not very attentive. Our room was a bit rough around the edges and not the particularly clean the saving grace was the size and comfort of the bed

Thumbs up.
The hotel was lovely and the room we stayed in had a very comfy bed, tea and coffee facilities and a river view. The food was very nice although a little on the pricey side. I was a bit disappointed that the picture of the pool on the website which went outside was only accessible via the spa though. Breakfast was a little chaotic and took us sometime to get our breakfast ordered. Overall this was a great one night stay.

The worst hotel I never stayed at! Accidentally booked for the wrong date. Contacted the hotel about 3 months in advance to try and change the booking and given an absolute flat ‘no’ despite there still being availability at the correct date. Really poor customer service.

Great location, decent food and good bed. Dissapointed charged an extra £65 for a dog, when selected a pet friendly room via expedia. Customer service was very poor and one staff members attitude was awful. Expected better from a hotel such as the swan. Wont stay again, very stressful experience checking in, not relaxing as it should be.
