Very poor customer service, first I was ignored by the bar, waiting to be served when girl behind the bar decided to serve first young lads. When I’ve ordered my drink and portion of chips, same girl ask me what is the table number ( tables don’t have numbers ). Going outside I’ve asked politely the manager (Jack) if there are any free tables available outside he responded in very rude manner that he don’t know. He is not very welcoming manager as he don’t know how to look after his customers.

Very nice, spacious room, and bathroom.
A bit disturbing at first was the kitchen fan outside the door, but one got used to the humming, and it was off after the kitchen had closed.
During our 2 night stay there was no room cleaning or replenishing of tea/coffee etc.
Dinner in the restaurant was excellent but pricey. They would not let us book breakfast with the room on arrival, so make sure if you want it to book with the room. Otherwise breakfast menu is more expensive. But there are lovely places in the village to have breakfast.

We stayed for 1 night on a Sunday could not have the room until 4pm, got there around 4.30 Was told the restaurant closes at 6 pm, possibly why the place was empty. So, not a good start. The room was a good size, comfortable bed. The carpet looked like it had not been hoovered as it was filthy, the general cleaning of the room was not to a very high standard. The en-suite was not a lot better, dirty bin black mould on the skirting near the shower entry Dirty walls, dirty window blinds. The place needs a good bit of TLC. And the photos on the booking site are very misleading. Shame. Won’t be returning. PS …breakfast was ok..though there was some confusion when we we’re informed that we had to pay £14 per person!!! But after telling them that I had booked with breakfast included. The staff checked the booking and all ok.

Avoid room 6 - behind the pub. Entrance is past the bins and the petrol station, the kitchen door and an unbearable noisy and smelly kitchen extractor fan which starts at 7.45am and finishes around 9pm. Staff failed to turn up to serve breakfast on day one. Calls to the "emergency" numbers failed to wake the manager on duty, but reached an ex member of staff then one on leave! Yes it was resolved, but what a shambles. We were not warned about overnight roadworks outside. Room not properly cleaned and bins not emptied. Food was generally good but no atmosphere. Lack of cereals or other continental standards. Not the "Alpine-inspired eatery-bar specialising in hot rock dishes" that google says. It is a basic pub, with lack of leadership from management or staff training.

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.

Stayed at the Swan for one night as I was on a course nearby the following day. Great choice of venue, very welcoming, clean and comfortable and spacious room. All the staff were very friendly, no complaints!

We understand the hotel is pet friendly but we were unable to stay in room due to allergies. Not a deep clean as stated by staff. Cobweb over shower head dust around skirting . Room also smelt damp and black mould on grouting in shower.
We couldn't stay the night so choose to drive home. I had emailed hotel next day but had no response .

I have been staying here to look after my mum who lives locally. The rooms are beautifully appointed, spotlessly clean and great value for money. Hotel du Vin quality without the cost!! New managers are doing a really good job - retained staff are amazing.

We were warmly welcomed by a lovely lady I didn't catch her name) The room I requested (with a bath) hadn't been allocated to us but after a call this was sorted and the room we stayed in was lovely.
We ate in the pub, my husbands beef short rib was only luke warm, they said it would be replaced but would take 20 mins,we said just to warm properly would be ok, which was done although I did think that some money should have been taken off or complimentary drinks offered but they were not.
The breakfast was lovely but no cereal, yoghurt, fresh fruit or croissants which are usually offered at most hotels and b&b's.
