The staff were very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent. The room was called a Snug and "Snug" it certainly was. Just about ok for 1 or 2 nights but for longer stays get a bigger room.

This was such an incredible place to stay! The staff was so nice and accommodating! The rooms were super clean and very quaint. Robes and slippers everything you need. The breakfast in the morning was great, one of the best omelets I’ve had, and our waitress was the sweetest! We will definitely be coming back!

Good location, pretty room with Dyson fan and nespresso coffee. Great breakfast with friendly staff. We had a room to accommodate our 14 year old but the spare bed set up kept collapsing on her so she slept on the floor. Glad we were only there for one night. Would have mentioned to staff but no one around to check out to.

The swan was one of the best hotels I've stayed at. The building, rooms, and location were beautiful, well taken care of, and thoughtfully curated. The staff range from quite friendly to fantastically friendly and the breakfast was exceptional. Thanks for having us, we'll be back someday for a longer stay.
