This is a very nice little inn. My wife and I love to stay here every time we come to visit family in Alton. It is just what we are looking for: a nice, clean place to spend the night. Highly rated.

We had a fantasic stay in the Swan. All of the staff were great. The accommodation was first rate. The bed was really comfortable. We had two meals and a breakfast there, they were really nice. It is ideally situated for the village and surrounding countryside. We will be using it again. Thank you for making our visit special.

Located in the high street with parking it was ideal for a one night stopover. Room was very pleasant & spacious and comfy bed. Breakfast was really good- buffet items plus cooked to order menu. Couldn’t fault anything. Excellent value for money.

Greater warmly by Ryan who checked us in & showed us our room. Room was clean & adequate for one night. Bed comfy & clean soft sheets. Parking was available but we were unable to gain access due to a fire up the high street. Bar staff lovely. Restaurant very nice comfortable & food was really nice.

Fantastic hotel! Perfect location. Lovely staff, free parking, and spotlessly clean. There's always something in the cleanliness area that makes me pull a face in most hotels I've stayed in, but not here, absolutely spotless! Lovely stay, highly recommended, and will most definitely return

My second visit in 2 months based on my first, very positive experience. Again I booked the dinner, bed and breakfast package for a similar value to a bed and breakfast stay elsewhere. I was given a room on the ground floor close to the dining area and rear entrance which suited me fine. Parking was easy and dinner was tremendous. I went for the same walk to Chawton. A great night's sleep was followed by a great breakfast and I left again very fulfilled with my accommodation experience.

The hotel ticked all the boxes and was just the job. The decor in the room needed a bit of TLC and the windows needed repair or replacement. The staff however were great, really helpful, attentive and considerate.

Despite some minor issues with our room(Room 20), i.e. missing drawer knob, TV monitor tilting precariously on the bedroom wall, no additional blankets, I truly cannot praise. EVERY STAFF MEMBER, especially Ruth and Caroline who were top notch with their genuine smile and hospitality THROUGHOUT. Of course, if you guys offer a complimentary car wash in the price...you'd surpass the Waldorf Astoria for an incredible visiting experience.....!

Overall, it did the job. Parking was easy with CCTV protection. Excellent service, spotlessly clean with good food and fine wine. It is an old building and the decor was tired in places however, it was very reasonably priced and a good town centre location.

Lovely hotel/ room and staff. Food tasted amazing but breakfast seemed a bit disorganised. Having to squeeze past tables to get milk for my coffee which could have just been left on the table prior and then no butter for toast and I didn’t want to ask by this point. Thought maybe these things should of been pointed out

It was a good visit. No complaints. I will say that the picture of it being by water was a mystery. No river or canal in sight. But cost effective trip, if you have dietary requirements, don’t pre-book the dinner as it’s a different / limited menu.
