3 day break
The staff were wonderful
The restaurant had a limited dinner menu with no specials and no change.
The sticky toffee pudding had been microwaved and was like concrete.
Breakfast was excellent but no kippers.
The Hotel was overrun with tourists with no priority for residents.
Very small residents lounge.
Swan at Bibury
Restaurant was very expensive, with rather limited choices. Meal of 2 mains and one dessert including wine was around 150, less the 70 in the deal. Service at 10% was slapped on the whole restaurant bill, including the 70 credit. It was removed at our request on leaving.
We ordered an afternoon tea . We expected it to be the one included in the Offer. It turned out to cost 55 for the two of us. No-one explained the difference between a cream tea and an afternoon tea. However we were given a credit of 24 towards the overpriced offering.
Gone very down hill
Just returned from a short stay at this hotel after visiting a few years ago, this hotel has gone down hill in every department.
Firstly the rooms are very tired and in need of lots of attention, we changed rooms on arrival and then upgraded to the cottage on our last evening. After speaking to a male receptionist who told us no manager was available were very disappointed and did not even want to stay in the hotel, then at the Bar found a very helpful member of staff who then said she would get us the assistant manger, they were actually the best members of staff you had and suddenly another room became available and we were able to swap.This was slightly better.
On our Final night we stayed in a cottage which was much better, but the price tag is much higher, however don't think you will sit outside peacefully as they have installed a large Trailer freezer that makes a buzzing noise 24 hours a day, not relaxing.
Food quality and service was appalling, as was the expensive price in comparison to quality and service. The following evening we opted for the pub up the road and that was great.
You have the foundations to be a fantastic Hotel/ Restauraunt again but are letting yourself down with things that could be easily rectified. you need to send a professional round to stay there a few nights and see what everyone sees and put them right. I am going to put I will not stay here again at the moment but would if you went back to the standards you were a few years ago.
