Gorgeous experience! Perfect location to walk all around town. Restaurant on site or walking distance. We had one of the very spacious cottages. The 1st floor is a living room and going up the winding stairs to the bedroom and bathroom. Parking is onsite and whoever gets there first. Right across the street is a wonderful walk along the water that is filled with swans and ducks. Cute bar and outside patio with beautiful flowers. Staff are great especially Maria who is always everywhere being helpful with a beautiful smiling face! We really enjoyed our vacation time from the USA - thank you!

Lovely weekend break.
Amazing location and great service. One or two things amiss at dinner (forgot a couple of things) but made amends. Also check the bill! We were given someone else’s at check-out. Human error an certainly not a deal-breaker. The cottage rooms are lively but do lack some amenities: there is no fridge and no hanging space for clothes. Also there is a gap in the front garden hedge of Trumpeter cottage that a small dog (like our cockapoo) could escape through. We informed them and should be an easy fix.

From the moment we stepped into reception the courtesy & friendliness was second to none. The only improvement we would like to see would be a bar menu for the evening when a 3 course meal would be too much. A ploughman’s or sandwich would be ideal.

We wanted to visit to beautiful Cotswold village of Bibury and the Swan Inn is right in the centre. Everything is very close. The property is full of character and the service excellent. Our room was spotless, with large bathroom and homely atmosphere. The breakfast was very generous. Highly recommended

Review Swan Hotel, Bibury
Generally good stay. But visitor information was poor eg no guide to the hotel facilities such as times, menu and local facilities eg doctor. Room layout was perhaps cramped with restricted area for making drinks etc. Also no biscuits provided. Sickly chocolates instead! Towel rail inadequate so we couldn’t dry towels. Breakfast selection was very poor eg no cereals offered apart from stodgy, cold porridge. Overdone streaky bacon every day! The dining room was cold!

The location and situation of the Swan hotel are exceptional. It is well positioned and boasts an impressive view over the River Coln and the surrounding plain. Staff overall very good service. Negatives were the natural light in the room is poor. We ordered the crochets from the starters menu which were tiny and for £8.50 are a rip off, just remove from the menu. Overall very satisfied with the hotel and was worth the money.

Swan Hotel Bibury. Mediocre.
Beautiful setting and facilities let down by mediocre dinner service and below par food. Dinner of 2 courses took 2 hours to complete. Missing cutlery, condiments and crockery at dinner and breakfast. 4 star prices for mediocre food and service.
