The location and general atmosphere of the hotel impressed managing to combine the historic feel of a coaching hotel without feeling dated. The condition and facilities all felt modern and well thought out making it a very enjoyable and comfortable stay. We shall return to the Swan next trip.

Over priced
When we arrived no one was on reception.
Our bedroom and bathroom were both very cold and the radiator did not come on ( we were advised that they were looking at the timing).
The bath water on the saturday nigh was only tepid.
We had a reservation in the restaurant but waited an hour for our main course to be served.
The television controls were complicated and no instructions to follow.
