Had a lovely stay here the room was fabulous the bed was so comfy we stayed in the wild horse room it had a huge bathroom with bath and walk in shower and the toilet was separated from the bathroom the staff are friendly and nothings to much trouble
Great little touches like fresh milk and homemade cookies which were delicious
Lovely pub/hotel with lots of old world charm. Clean and comfortable in a great location. Stayed for Sunday lunch which was excellent. Bedroom was spacious and had everything you could need. My only very slight negative was the traffic noise, as our room was at the front.
Lovely short break spent at the Bull and Swan. Would recommend accommodation. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff helpful and polite.

Liked: Room comfort
It's lovley, and offers good value considering the alternatives in that location. Quirky room which we liked a lot, and clean. A particular member of staff, could have been more accommodating, and welcoming as guests, but maybe got her on a bad day.
Worth a stay.
Great location within easy walking distance for centre of Stamford. Rooms very good and comfortable bed. Staff very friendly and helpful. Food very good. Would definitely recommend.
Beautiful ancient building. Professional and friendly staff. Delicious breakfast. Bed was supremely comfy. Can’t fault it. It’s close to the main road but the hotel are upfront about that. Beautiful veg garden tops it off.
Really friendly and attentive staff team in a period building conveniently located a short walk from town .
The room is quirky with the bath right beside the bed . The main improvement could be with the overall cleanliness- the stairs up to our room were very grubby and the room really just needed a good deep clean but we would stay again if in the area
Excellent and helpful staff. Failed to let them kow about a cheese allergy, but when the meal arrived with mash containing cheese, they whipped it away, and remade the meal with cheese free mash, no quibbles. Thank you!.
Very nice rooms and excellent breakfast. Beds really comfortable. Only downside is that the room you are in can be noisy with the road traffic. We booked late and got a roadside room which did have traffic noise. best to see if a room in the rear is available. Breakfast offers a large choice and the eggs benedict was lovely. The room was very large and we even received complimentary cookies and a small bottle of flavoured gin which was a nice touch. Excellent coffee making facilities too. Overall very enjoyable stay.

Pleasant stay
Clean & comfortable room above the pub. Very comfy bed and good bath/shower. Bathroom and loo were outside of our room behind a curtain, which was fine for us, though did feel like anyone could potentially go in as there was direct access from the street up some stairs (unlikely, of course, but felt a bit strange!)
Old & atmospheric, but felt could have done with a few touch ups. Thought it was a bit expensive for the money, though appreciate Stamford is pricey.
Food in the pub was lovely, and friendly staff.

Disappointing room, but great breakfast
Room a little gloomy, no drawers or any small cupboard to hang just one or two clothes items for an overnight stay. Tea/coffee facilities good and little fridge a bonus. Shower wasn't as good as it could have been. Breakfast and morning staff were fantastic though - lady who served breakfast and checked us out was really lovely.
A lovely old pub, but getting luggage up to the room was tricky. Don't book if you have mobility issues. The room was nice, but could do with a lick of paint and repairs. The bed was really comfortable though. The road was very noisy, and smoke from the BBQ in the garden a bit annoying, but staff were great and Stamford is a very pretty town.
