Thumbs up.
The hotel was lovely and the room we stayed in had a very comfy bed, tea and coffee facilities and a river view. The food was very nice although a little on the pricey side. I was a bit disappointed that the picture of the pool on the website which went outside was only accessible via the spa though. Breakfast was a little chaotic and took us sometime to get our breakfast ordered. Overall this was a great one night stay.

2/10 Poor

The worst hotel I never stayed at! Accidentally booked for the wrong date. Contacted the hotel about 3 months in advance to try and change the booking and given an absolute flat ‘no’ despite there still being availability at the correct date. Really poor customer service.

6/10 Good

Great location, decent food and good bed. Dissapointed charged an extra £65 for a dog, when selected a pet friendly room via expedia. Customer service was very poor and one staff members attitude was awful. Expected better from a hotel such as the swan. Wont stay again, very stressful experience checking in, not relaxing as it should be.

Too many little things missing
Air con unit in the bedroom with a sign saying no longer working, but no fan. No bath mat or grab rails, only shower over bath and very slippery. No toilet brush. No shower cap or cotton buds. Large containers of shampoo and conditioner did not pump. Breakfast -make your own toast but it burns the toast and was told " it always does that !" Coffee was served but i'd almost finished my breakfast by the time it arrived.

Swan experience
Had a lovely stay at Swan Hotel, lovely view but windows could do with a wash. Pleasant and friendly staff. Disappointed in pool area of hotel, sauna out of order and steam room not working properly. One of the reasons why we decided to stay at this hotel was the leisure facilities. The spa at the end of hotel was a 2 hour experience and it seemed you had to book this, I'd rather come and go as I pleased. It was a special couple of days away for my 70th Birthday so a wee bit gutted it did not come up to expectations.
