Stopped in 303 avoid the room if it's warm no air con. Asked them to look at it didn't work. They said we will then sort you a fan. Didn't get a fan windows open noise was horrendous all night and even into early hours first night. Second night even worse I had to call the police to get the people in the street playing music until 1am. Paid for a premium room. Then in morning went to charge me again even though I had already paid. Then didn't bother to ask me about my stay. Also never bothered with breakfast as when I went to get my meal then first day forgot my order on the drinks then waited 40 mins for a starter which was beef in a jar with toast. Scotch egg was ok mind when it came.

Great hotel. Good food. Friendly staff.

Great hotel in the very centre of the town with free parking. Staff were very welcoming. Beware of the wine costs. Make sure you ask for a token for the car park when leaving. Car park is not easy to find. Asked a traffic warden who said it was about 100 yards away but we had to go all the way around the one way system Paid £82 but given a receipt for £67

Excellent stay with excellent staff

Fabulous stay at the Swan Hotel. The staff are very friendly and extremely helpful. Nothing is too much trouble and the staff are happy to explain things to make sure your stay is a plesant one. A shout out to the young girl who was our breakfast waitress (I think she was called Amberle). She worked tirelessly hard, was very pleasant and even though she was busy she made time to have a chat and give tips about the area! She was always smiling and made sure you were happy! You are all a credit to the Swan Hotel! We ate at the Hotel all 3 nights as the food was excellent ! We will be back in the future!

Like The Swan, (am repeat visitor for accommodation). On this two night stay, (Apr16-17 2025) I struggled at night with loud snoring from the next room. It revealed hitherto unknown thinned of separating walls, combined with avoidable positioning of beds with the heads of the beds in each room evidently close and against the shared wall. Also I had no complimentary water which I seem to remember I have had in the past. Thank you, David Goble (Room 115)

Watch out for hidden charges. My wife and myself do not even smoke but after leaving £120.00 was taken from my credit card because staff alleged that they could smell signs of smoking in our room. Which had nothing to do with us. We immediately contacted the hotel who admitted that the only evidence was the alleged smell and they did not know if any members of staff smoked. Have requested the return of the charge and they are refusing to refund. Avoid this hotel

Lovely hotel with great staff in town centre

The hotel is very nice. The rooms were well-equipped and clean. The bar and lounge areas, including outside courtyard, provided several options to socialise. We had one meal in the restaurant and it was very good. Breakfast was included with a range of choices - full English was great. Excellent value for money.

Nice hotel. Staff are friendly and helpful. The building has character. Room is clean. Walls are thin and I’ve been able to hear the man next door snoring, and now their dogs barking and whining. Apart from that all has been okay. Parking was easy to find using the postcode provided for it by the hotel.
