Great place, friendly staff, easy parking and good facilities. Rooms were way to warm and uncomfortable to sleep in - AC not operational & the fans provided did little to alleviate the stuffiness.

We’ve been to the Swan a few times over the past few years. It’s a real shame to see such a nice hotel be neglected. It is in dire need of a refurb. Peeling wall paper in the bar area, mold on the bedrooms and restaurant, hall lights not working. We were so disappointed, especially as they market themselves as a high-end hotel

Very disappointed with the stay was expecting boutique but got budget hotel vibes - Room was nothing like advertised and felt dated & dirty - Staff on reception unhelpful - Twilight Spa Experience -The Spa was filthy - No beds available as all covered in dirty towels & empty glasses from people who had left in the day - Only good thing was the pub restaurant & friendly staff
