What a gem!

Our room was beautiful and tastefully decorated. We slept comfortably and peacefully in the large bed, and were ready to eplore Bibury after a delicious breakfast. I must compliment the staff on their attentiveness and kindness, they made our weekend stay truly wonderful.

From the moment we stepped into reception the courtesy & friendliness was second to none. The only improvement we would like to see would be a bar menu for the evening when a 3 course meal would be too much. A ploughman’s or sandwich would be ideal.

Loved staying in a beautiful part of the Cotswolds

The hotel is in the best possible location for Bibury and exploring nearby villages. Super friendly welcome for us and our dog. We enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea there. Lots of quality bits from the Nespresso, to the Milton Brown goodies in the bathroom. Breakfast was tasty with a continental buffet pre hot food. Only downside is our room was like a furnace despite turning the radiators down - opened the windows and it was then fine. I can see how parking would be a challenge in peak time (summer) but in winter it was fine.

Swan Hotel Bibury. Mediocre.

Beautiful setting and facilities let down by mediocre dinner service and below par food. Dinner of 2 courses took 2 hours to complete. Missing cutlery, condiments and crockery at dinner and breakfast. 4 star prices for mediocre food and service.

It was a wonderful stay. The staff were friendly and the rooms were comfortable. The bathroom was clean, but sometimes it was difficult to get hot water. The restaurant was stylish, and the dinner and breakfast were also good. Bibury is very crowded with tourists, but I think it is a privilege for guests to be able to enjoy Bibury early in the morning when no one else is around.
