Disliked: Cleanliness
The Bathroom had Black all around the Bath taps that was removable with a cloth, we had to go outside and walk over stones and up steps with our cases.
The Breakfast was very good .
The staff were more then helpful and courteous. They were very accommodating with the parking as my wife is on crutches but we don't have a disabled badge.
Breakfast was excellent
Rooms very clean and spacious
I would recommend this hotel

Only used the hotel for bed and breakfast. The room and bed were clean and comfortable. The dining room was impressive and had some history attached to it. The service was responsive at breakfast and kindness and understanding shown to a nervous 6 year old. The free public parking at the rear of the hotel worked well and the proximity to the town and castle and gardens.

Good enough for the price. I came to see the Olympic room, which is furnished with panelling, windows and other artifacts from Titanic's sister ship. Breakfast was excellent. The staff were very helpful arranging a taxi when Uber fell through.
Very enjoyable stay. Comfortable room, good choice at breakfast and friendly, helpful staff, especially Georgia. Minor quibble, wine was quite expensive.
Great hotel very handy for the Playhouse theatre as just a short walk away!
Staff all very friendly and helpful.
Spacious room with lots of extras i.e tissues , and ample teas and coffees and biscuits which seem to have disappeared from the bigger chain hotels
Breakfast plenty of choice including the hot foods,
Will definitely stay again
Very nice room with a bath in the bathroom every day friendly staff, great breakfast and very central. Great room rate and close to some nice pubs and restaurants.
Lovely, friendly staff and a beautiful restaurant. Fab little car park at the back, which is very handy. The only thing which might stop us staying again is the bed: it was really springy, old and uncomfortable, so neither of us slept well.

Another lovely stay at the White Swan. Staff were friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. Breakfast was very good in the Olympic room which is a remarkable venue from the Titanic's sister ship.
Thanks so much for having us! Great location, close to all amenities including laundromat which was around the corner, shops and restaurants.
Great place to stay, huge breakfast options. Thanks having us!
