Old English Pub and Inn, clean and well kept. The food was great and the rooms clean. We stayed the week and found the staff to be friendly and accommodating. Just what you'd imagine a village Pub should be! So happy to have found The Swan, we'll be back to stay again!

Forest Row

Room was compact but comfortable. Windows only single glazed, so a but cold and misted up. Had to keep blinds shut as the view was right onto the High Street, with no net curtain. So lack of privacy šŸ˜’

Our bed was very comfortable. Once I turned the radiator on it the room warmed up. We had a frosty welcome. We would have appreciated an offer of help with our luggage. We are elderly and my husband struggled with the case on the stairs. The young man who was working in the morning was delightful

Exactly what you want from a nice pub with rooms. Clean, comfortable and a large bed. Nice toiletries provided, nice bedding and fluffy towels. Easy to go downstairs for breakfast or dinner or go out to the walkable options. We stayed here to enjoy 100 acre wood which is a short drive or walk away. Friendly staff at the hotel.

Great find at a great price

Lovely room underneath the pub. Really easy parking and check in. Room very spacious, large TV, good sized shower cubicle. Bed extremely comfortable. Tea/coffee available in room, more oat milk than cows milk sachets would be great but plentiful even for a couple.
