Check in was quick and easy, the only problem for me was hauling my bags up the outer staircase. The room was clean and reasonably spacious, the bed was very comfortable and the en suite shower room was also clean. Jacqui was very pleasant and helpful, and I would happily stay here again.

If you need a clean room for a night before a cruise and don't want to spend the $300-400 per night that hotels closer to the cruise port charge, the Swan Inn is a good option .Rooms are sparsely furnished but they have everything you need, including a kettle and coffee/tea.The only downside is that there are very few restaurants around the hotel. We took an Uber to downtown which is only a few miles away.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was musty and smelled damp when we first arrived which we thought would clear but never improved for the time we were there despite windows and doors open. 2nd bed wasn’t even a proper bed, just a mattress on a base barely 8” off the ground and when lifting the mattress to check for lost toys, we found it to be mouldy! Towels extremely hard and coarse and alwere clearly very old. Bedding and pillows smelt musty and bowls and cups provided were covered in a thin layer of dust. For a “deluxe en suite” I expected much better and there was no way I could’ve stayed more than 1 night. Staff were very friendly and helpful but the room was poor and at £130 a night it needs serious improvement, or at the very least a good clean.

We stayed for two nights, the room was nice, modern and clean, and the host was friendly during check-in. While the accommodation felt secure, I'd have to say there was quite a lot of noise from the other guests, partly because the corridor is an echo chamber, with a fairly sizeable gap at the bottom of the door that sounds travel straight through. (The other guests' behaviour obviously isn't the host's fault, but between slamming doors, having full volume conversations in the corridor at almost midnight, and yelling while using the bathrooms, they managed to make it a rather restless night). I think it would be really good to carpet the corridor between rooms to muffle some of the noises, or attach a muffling/brush strip to the bottom of the door. It's worth saying there is a train which regularly passed quite close too, this was less of an issue for us than the other guests, but probably not ideal for light sleepers. So maybe bring earplugs, because it's a nice room with a really comfortable bed, just other people doing their best to spoil it.

Close to cruise port but we did have to stand in the rain because we didn’t have access to our room until the owner came to open for us. Very nice staff and rooms were super clean. Prices were reasonable compared to big named hotels. We always like to stay at smaller inns to get the feel of the neighborhood. Great neighborhood pub. People all super friendly and the locals went out of their way to welcome us and visit!

Southampton stay

Convenient but road is very noisy for a stay in Southampton for St Marys attendance. Bed was a little uncomfortable for someone who is 6'2" but facilities were clean and safe. Good to have free parking and overall about right value for money.

Lovely hotel, unfortunately had a power outage when we woke up in the morning, not the hotels fault, as it was down the the storm in the area. It would have been a good gesture to have notified us what the issue was and kept us informed. Otherwise, a great stay, comfortable, clean and very convenient.

Good size room. Clean, neutral and modern.

Very much enjoyed our stay, really really friendly, the rooms are a great size, with everything you need included, the decor and furniture is clean, neutral and modern. I personally would have liked an extra pillow, which may have been provided should I have asked, overall it’s great value. I would rebook

Good location, comfortable room

Stayed here prior to catching a cruise. Was disappointed that the adjoining pub doesnt serve food. There is a reasonable pub 5 minutes walk away and for breakfast there are a number of cafes a short drive away. Room was ok - we had the family room with kettle and toaster and ensuite.

Lovely stay

Stayed for one night, with other family members, total of 4 rooms. Rooms were lovely, reasonably comfortable, spacious and newly decorated. Check in was easy and staff were great and very helpful. Could be improved with the following: sound proofing between the bathrooms (there is none), plug sockets in suitable places (near the kettle and mirror), another bedside lamp as there is only one, bathmat for the shower, larger towels, hairdryer in the room (rather than having to ask at reception), consider tall guests when replacing bed frames and not have a foot board.
