Evening meals

Disapointing evening meals
Descriptions did not match expectations

Very pleasant short stay

Bibury is a very pleasant place to stay and the Swan has much to recommend it.
We found the staff throughout the hotel - housekeeping, restaurant, bar, reception - to be most helpful and polite, nothing was too much. The food served in the restaurant was of a high standard, which is just as well because it was quite pricey, as were drinks from the bar - we have recently returned from a holiday in Crete where we stayed in an hotel of similar standard and it was quite a contrast!
My main gripe is that I found the bed uncomfortable, mattress and pillows too firm for a "side sleeper", disappointing after seeing, during the booking process, reference to "feather beds" or something similar. Another point, unimportant at this time of year with early onset of dusk, is the view from the window of our rather expensive room was very disappointing. I think the room's location at the rear of the hotel should be made clear during the room selection procedure.
Overall though we were satisfied with our stay.

Ideal overnight stay if a little expensive

Good reception a pity the lift not working but very friendly, room nice but not very superior nor spacious by any means. Restaurant well staffed but mistake in kitchen over cooking the steak under done not as ordered, returned but no recompense offered as had to wait for another to be cooked while my wife dined alone!

Winter Break

Excellent in most respects and especially friendly staff except for somewhat grumpy barman.
Restaurant supervisors/staff very welcoming and added to enjoyment of stay.
Appreciated wine and chocolates in room and impressed with cleanliness of accommodation.

Anniversary break

An enjoyable 3 nights in a lovely setting. Room was good and staff were very helpful and friendly. Food was good but the smallish menu was the same each night with the one same special so choice was limited.
