The Swan Inn

I booked a night there about 2 months ahead of time as I’m on a trip o England from Canada and I got there to my surprise the place was closed, I can’t get ahold of the anyone from the Inn, I would like a refund.

What a disappointment - meal was average and no hot drinks served after a meal. Average pub food and not what was expected. Expected better and the management needs to look at themselves and consider whether they are qualified to run an Inn. Went there with friends as we had a concert at the Exchange and had been doing this for a number of years and prior had enjoyable meals and the dining experience was exceptional. This has all gone and the (new) management need to get themselves sorted out before it’s too late. We will not be returning and a number of other people have made the same comments.

Two days before arrival we were emailed to say there would be a loud disco below our room until 11.45pm. They offered cancellation but it was far too late to change our visit and rearrange, so we put up with it. The room was ok but wasnt cleaned on the 2nd day. No Breakfast available both days. Pub was loud and noisy, would suit some but not us. Had Friday evening meal in restaurant 1st Friday of December - we were the only two people in the restaurant! Food and service fine, but room "tired".

Well situated in the middle of town. Room very clean and comfortable. At the front but not disturbed by any noise. This is a pub with rooms rather than a hotel. On checking in, I was given a key to the back door as when I got back they would be closed by 6. I hadn’t realised this as I had planned to eat I. The pub later. To get to the back door, you had to go through the dark car park with an even surface. Security light came on when within 4ft. As a woman on my own it was very scary. In the morning check out was 10. The cleaner of the pub told me to just leave the key on the side. It wasn’t a very personal service which at the night rate I was expecting more. But if you are looking for a no frills no contact room, it fits the bill.

Disgusting attitudes the brother and sister management. Service is terrible. Most inhospitable public house I’ve had the unfortunate experience of having to visit several times in the last year. Purely because it’s the only half decent premises in the town itself but the management style has a lot to be desired. Constant swearing by management when our children were in hearing range. Snide remarks and completely oblivious to their surroundings, Not aware of themselves at all. Middle class snobbery at its zenith.

Lovely stay at the Swan Inn. Comfortable bed, nice shower and friendly hosts. Would highly recommend. Unfortunately they didn’t have a chef which was disappointing but no fault of the hosts who I’m sure have tried very hard to employ one.

Our regular return to the Swan was very enjoyable. The room was clean and tidy. As always the welcome was warm and the service very good. A lovely old building but with modern and appropriate facilities. It was reasonable value for money. Looking forward to our next visit already!

Having booked the Swan in order to meet up with a friend, it was a bit of a surprise to find out that a live band was going to be playing- directly under our bedroom. In an even more surreal twist, the pub was taken over on Saturday night by all sorts of witches, ghouls, vampires, zombies and skeletons. The only thing to do was to embrace the madness and join in! The band was surprisingly good (80s rock) and we loved the whole community atmosphere. Awesome- thank you for a memorable stay!

Fantastic place to stay great atmosphere within the pud really friendly local people the room was nice and warm which is important to me at this time of year after being outside working all day Geoff and his wife are great friendly people food was also fantastic it was a pleasure to stay with them and will be back soon probably the best hotel I have stayed at in recent times ..and I stay in a lot of hotels
