The Swan Hotel

A dining area with multiple tables set for a meal, wooden beams on the ceiling, and a brick wall in the background.

Location: Sudbury
Review: We battled the snow for a stay here and were so glad we did. The hotel is beautiful with all the wooden beams and real log fires and our bedroom was a really good size. Both dinner and breakfast were yummy and my husband even had a treatment in the spa which he enjoyed. My only criticism would be the lack of music. Other than the airman’s bar the whole building was in silence I think some light background music would have been nice and added some atmosphere. I understand a lot of your guests..., by kassie, 12 December 2017, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: I believe it had just reopened after being closed for a whilst for refurbishment. Having not seen the before i cannot comment on the works undertaken. However the place i visited was super, friendly staff (dont think they had been refurbished), great room and very comfy. The rooms are in the adjoining property, so isolated for the jovial atmosphere in the restaurant. And it was jovial and busy (on a Wednesday evening) and again the staff were brill. The food was some of the best ive had in..., by Simon, 30 November 2023, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: I tend to worry about the cleanliness of a B&B and thus avoid them. However, this one was priced at a really good rate and most other hotels close to the wedding I was attending were already booked. I got there on Saturday and I was blown away. Not only was the host (Mike) so welcoming and helpful but the place was beautiful and the rooms far exceeded my expectations.
