Good sized room and bathroom. Surprisingly quiet as it is on the main road.
Only problem was that they have stopped serving breakfast - only brunch after 12 noon. The local cafes were OK but only offered cooked breakfast items; for yoghurt, croissants etc it had to be Tesco next door.
As we arrived to check in the lady was lovely and took us to our room and explained if we needed anything to let her know, which was a lovely. The room was unique as it is in a pub and it did have an en-suite with a shower.
The only down side is the sink is low down and you can hit your head on the shelf that is attached to the mirror.
We did not try the breakfast
But overall we had a great stay.
Its a pub with rooms, bit tired around the edges. Good food in bar. Not great if you are unsready on your feet as old building and uneven floors in the rooms. Access out of pub hours not easy via a very hard to open fire exit to a rear yard and down a narrow set of metal stairs, wouldnt fancy it in the dark. Need to take more care cleaning as trod on glass in the bathroom. As i started its pub with rooms and overpriced for what it is.
Very clean well equipped room on ground floor. Perfect for a dog friendly room.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
Amazing full English breakfast.
Only downside was a bit noisy in the evening, loud music and generatir noise. Ear plugs are thoughtfully provided.
Old English Pub and Inn, clean and well kept. The food was great and the rooms clean. We stayed the week and found the staff to be friendly and accommodating. Just what you'd imagine a village Pub should be! So happy to have found The Swan, we'll be back to stay again!
Really nice little pub/hotel which provides great services, food, beer and the room was perfectly formed. Loved the stay and would definitetly stay again.
Comfortable room, good atmosphere, good beers, good food albeit a little small in portion size.
Parking is limited during busy periods.
Breakfast not until 8am
Food available until 9pm
wifi wouldnt allow streaming to netflix etc..
Stayed at the Swan for one night as I was on a course nearby the following day. Great choice of venue, very welcoming, clean and comfortable and spacious room. All the staff were very friendly, no complaints!
Exactly what you want from a nice pub with rooms. Clean, comfortable and a large bed. Nice toiletries provided, nice bedding and fluffy towels. Easy to go downstairs for breakfast or dinner or go out to the walkable options. We stayed here to enjoy 100 acre wood which is a short drive or walk away. Friendly staff at the hotel.
Stayed 2 nights in May 2024

Overnight stay
Clean and comfortable room. We had a meal in the pub and the food was very good. Church bell was chiming through the night, hotel had thoughtfully supplied earplugs!
Really easy and friendly check in. Beautiful spacious room with big super comfy bed. Parking okay, not lots but we were okay.
Staff are lovely.
We had an evening meal which was delicious.
Nice touches are nice coffees in the room, nice shower gels and our dogs were welcomed too. Would definitely recommend and stay here again..
Lovely room underneath the pub. Really easy parking and check in. Room very spacious, large TV, good sized shower cubicle. Bed extremely comfortable.
Tea/coffee available in room, more oat milk than cows milk sachets would be great but plentiful even for a couple.
