Lovely two days

CH, West Midlands, stayed: November 2022

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Swan. The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was comfortable and the bathroom well appointed.
The restaurant staff were attentive without being intrusive and the food delicious. Good choice of breakfast dishes.

We would certainly like a return visit but a 2 night stay is not long enough in such an attractive area.

Lovely hotel, shame about the breakfast

MK, Surrey, stayed: November 2022

Terrible breakfast, poached egg like a bullet, scrambled eggs like sawdust, bacon so crisp it could be pork crackling and service so slow, thank goodness we had time to wait.
No offer of croissants or pastries, just cold toast.
For such a lovely place you really need to revise your breakfast menu, who wants "bowls",
Not many I'm sure.
My husband thought the porridge was horrible, what's the problem with ordinary muesli?

The one thing that makes a hotel very good is the staff.
The staff at the swan were very friendly and helpful in all aspects would recommend this hotel to all our friends.

Thank you for an excellent experience

John M, Surrey, stayed: November 2022

We received a very friendly welcome from each member of staff we encountered, starting with help to find a parking space.
Molly, general manager on duty as we arrived, noted my use of a cane and sought permission to alter the location of our room to ensure we wouldn't need to climb any stairs, much appreciated as we find them difficult.
All of the staff were friendly and seemed happy to be doing their jobs, which they had obviously been well trained to do.
The food was good and there was a nice selection of wine & draft beer.
We will definitely visit again when returning to the Cotswolds.

Very nice but no cigar!

Anon, stayed: November 2022

The hotel is very nice, immaculately clean throughout and looks newly decorated. A bit irritating to be asked on check in, in our case after a tiring 3 hour drive, where and what time we want every meal during our stay. The wait for the food in the dining room is excessive, over half an hour, and the portion sizes are meagre. When we raised the waiting point we were told all food is cooked to order so takes some time. With a dining room only a quarter full this simply won't wash. Also, the menu is the same every night. We only stayed 2 nights so it wasn't really a problem but a 4 night stay would be a different case. The full English breakfast was rather overcooked and unremarkable. How do you cook scrambled eggs to be completely tasteless and the consistency of sawdust? Having said all this, we enjoyed our stay and would come again. The food side of things wants looking at.
