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.

Great find at a great price

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.

Room was compact but comfortable. Windows only single glazed, so a but cold and misted up. Had to keep blinds shut as the view was right onto the High Street, with no net curtain. So lack of privacy 😒

Short break visiting family.

Very welcoming check in, easy parking. Spotless room. Very comfortable bed. Everything we needed. Even ear plugs as it is quite noisy until the pub shuts (which is a very reasonable time). Breakfast was lively both days. Evening meal was delicious.

Very dirty and noisy!

Very dirty and noisy. The accommodation rooms are located by the busy kitchen entrance door and all i could smell was the kitchen and cooking all of the time (not ideal) My room was at the front of the pub/ hotel and could hear the busy road and roundabout throughout the night.

Great room, but service not so good

Very nice, spacious room, and bathroom. A bit disturbing at first was the kitchen fan outside the door, but one got used to the humming, and it was off after the kitchen had closed. During our 2 night stay there was no room cleaning or replenishing of tea/coffee etc. Dinner in the restaurant was excellent but pricey. They would not let us book breakfast with the room on arrival, so make sure if you want it to book with the room. Otherwise breakfast menu is more expensive. But there are lovely places in the village to have breakfast.

Neighboring church bells rang every hour on the hour, and housekeeping had not replaced towels, toilet paper and soap. Quickly remedied when told.

Ear plugs supplied next to the bed for a reason.

Beautiful room, with a comfortable bed and very clean. The food was great and service very good. However, fundamental to staying in a hotel is getting a good night's sleep. I appreciate it's a 16th century building and probably heavily controlled in terms of building / planning regulations but my colleague in the next room and I were both kept awake most of the night by the street noise, and church bell opposite. Every hour on the hour. Every conversation you could hear from outside, every moped buzzing around and even normal conversations from passers by. We stayed at similarly aged hotels on our business trip who all had internal double glazing (not changing the exterior frames etc. If you wonder why there are two jars of ear plugs next to the bed...that's why. Shame as a lovely property and great food. Just don't expect to get alot of sleep

The welcome was warm and I was shown to my room - a large well appointed room with an immaculate bathroom. All good so far. Unfortunately, it wasn't until I went to bed I realised the constant noise of traffic on the A22 that carried on until the early hours of the morning. This coupled with the Town Hall clock that chimed every hour resulted in a night of poor sleep. I should have realised that the noise would be excessive as the Swan had provided ear plugs by the bed. In the morning, I came down for breakfast and was quickly greeted with 'breakfast is extra'. This wasn't a problem but the price of £18.98 was excessive and I felt that being charged extra for coffee was unreasonable. The breakfast itself was fairly average and certainly didn't warrant the cost. In places the Swan is a bit tatty and, I would suggest that the tired single glazed windows could do with being replaced to counter the noise.

Lovely, comfy and welcoming

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..

The room was very dated and in need of some TLC, however the bed was comfortable and the bathroom had been recently renovated. The location was very good- a quick walk to restaurants and shopping. The rooms are above the Pub so it can be quite noisy, but once the pub closed @ 11 it was very quiet with the exception of the road traffic. We chose other options for our meals. Maria's was very good for breakfast and lunch. Jazz & Java had great breakfast and dinners. Service was excellent and a 5 minute walk from The Swan.

Our bed was very comfortable. Once I turned the radiator on it the room warmed up. We had a frosty welcome. We would have appreciated an offer of help with our luggage. We are elderly and my husband struggled with the case on the stairs. The young man who was working in the morning was delightful
