The individual design has been enriched by a collection of sumptuous antique furnishings and contemporary fabrics and wallpapers, which form their unique character. Expect all of the luxury extras including a Nespresso coffee machine and Molton Brown products to ensure a comfortable stay. Enjoy a romantic meal for two in The Swan Brasserie or for a more relaxed setting, find yourself a cosy spot in the bar with your loyal companion at your feet!

Birthday weekend?
A bit disappointing. COVID restrictions not really explained and found out from experience about lack of room servicing (making own bed, doing own washing up etc, a bit much at 215+ per night). Breakfast excellent with good service, but dinner disappointing with limited menu and haphazard service. The ambiance of the dining room was just absent, poor decoration and garish flooring did not fit with the gourmet approach they aspire to.
My wife s birthday went past entirely un-noticed and no effort was made to recognise it!
Girl on reception was very pleasant, as were some of the dining room staff but overall it didn t constitute a great experience!
Short break
We thought the room was on the small side. Checking in and out was awkward as they initially couldn t find our reservation and they were looking at the wrong sheet. Checking out they charged us for a meal which was included in our deal so good that we checked it carefully. We were charged rather a lot for tips but didn t change it.
A review of the Swan hotel
Due to a wedding taking place at the time, the hotel was extremely noisy (children running around the hotel) and lacking supervision. If you are wanting a quiet Weekend awaythis is not the place to visit.
