Was just a stopover on a motorcycle road trip and the Swan was perfectly fine stop clean and all I needed with out of the way parking for the bike. Staff were nice and helpful, had an OK, average breakfast in the morning. I also ate here the evening of my stay and this was not great, perhaps between chefs 🤔

Covenant stop over
The swan is situated next to a rail line/station and this is busy line with a crossing with gates and an alarm to notify drivers of the gate closing. All necessary for safety and by no means the fault of the swan, but made for a noisy stay. Room was fine and clean but would not choose to stay again. Lots of workman staying. restaurant on site so handy for meals.

2nd time at The Swan
I have stayed in this hotel a couple of times now. The staff are very friendly and supportive. It was really hot in my room so they supplied me with a fan for the duration. The food was amazing, well tasty as was the breakfast. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who requires good quality service

one night stay
We arrived on a sunny Sunday afternoon, but there was plenty of space in the car park, which is free for hotel guests, you just need to provide your vehicle registration at check in. All the staff we met were friendly & helpful, with full directions given regarding the location of our room (all rooms are in an annexe beside the main building) ours was upstairs. The room was large, comfortable, and clean. We ate dinner in the pub, and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Next morning, cooked breakfast was served to our table, and was perfectly adequate before we continued to our next destination.

Mediocre stay at best and wont return.
The bath had 2" of water in it on arrival. The fire alarm light (green) is so bright you might as well be full lights on and sleep was impossible. The road and train noise is unbearable too. Either the barrier crossing for the train or the boy racers at the roundabout. Getting a table for food in a Wed might was almost impossible. All tables booked less well out of the way for the quiz night.

First and last stay at Marston Inn
Not the best stay. On arrival into the car park we both were saying "oh no" ay the sight of the outer bedrooms, which didn't improve when we checked in. No warm friendly welcome and no proper explanation of how to find our room. We were left wandering, asked again and told to go straightforward. Faiked to mention it was through a fire exit door to the outside. Our hearts sank as we opened the access door to see a dingy flight of stairs with paint flaking off the walls. The room itself was basic and really dusty. The bedding and bathroom were both clean. Toilet seat was loose. Everytime either the access door or the opposite guest bedroom door opened our door moved too! Ended up sleeping with a chair propped up against it! Our prepaid breakfast was a poor do too. The price included items from the continental and a cooked breakfast. Nothing was on offer so we asked the waitress abd managed to get some cereal. Asked again for fruit juice. The English Breakfast was ok ....just! We were staying there to attend a family funeral at the very nearby crematorium. Had it not been for that fact we would have driven right on by!
