Breakfast so so. Room was lovely, very quiet. Shower really good. Spa was fabulous, would have been nice to have been shown each station and that there was an ordinary shower to shower off after the steam/sauna rooms (it was stuck on scalding hot when I was in there the first day). But generally great stay - and I've booked again when I travel for my next course in the area. ##### Susan Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael 5 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Location good, good staff ##### Michael Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### alex 20 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort Beautiful room, ##### alex Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sam 17 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort It was a great stay for Buisness, Staff all very freindly ##### Sam Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Amanda 8 Sept 2025 Liked: Amenities Everything was fabulous apart from the bed, it was soft and bumpy. ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Toby 4 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Beautiful p ##### Toby Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Derek 23 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Tastefully decor old school , quiet, great position for a few beers whilst watching river ##### Derek Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Cathy 25 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very attractive, large hallways and lobby, old building. ##### Cathy Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Paul 22 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Really nice hotel, attentive staff, spa was a bonus and worth paying for as less people to share with. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Craig 1 Oct 2025 All good ##### Craig Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Melanie 2 Jun 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The Swan is a lovely hotel.
