Excellent Room, staff very welcoming, polite, friendly & helpful. Food was excellent. Thoroughly enjoyable stay for Valentine's night. Would definitely recommend and will definitely be coming back. Thank you 😊
Nice clean room with small ensuite shower room, modern and warm.
Pleasant bar well stocked, delightful food and menu options, well presented. On sight car parking.
Booked as a Christmas catch up for friends. Rooms were comfortable and clean. Service was excellent from check in through to the bar and restaurant staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening meal and breakfast the next morning also could not be faulted. Hopefully we will be back next year.
All the staff were brilliant, the food was lovely and the restaurant was nice. The area around the swan was quiet nice woodland walks near by overall a lovely place to stay
Second time staying visiting local relatives. This is a lovely hotel clean great staff and the food is fantastic, will stay again great quiet place but good commuting to Lincoln by car for busy attraction
What a little gem of a place. So friendly and welcoming staff. Modern clean very comfy rooms. We stayed 3 nights and ate in the restaurant every night, food was soo good. If we are ever back this way will definitely stay again.

Car park is small, but there is parking on the street so not a problem. Check in was quick and easy, but you do have to fill in a pre-booking breakfast form. Room was good, clean and well maintained, bathroom was small
Excellent hotel, great value, lovely food in restaurant

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
Needs:
In-room fridge - cupboard space appears to be there for it;
Noise insulation - can hear snoring between floors and can't sleep in with early cleaners;
Ergonomic chair to enable prolonged use for work;
More attentive serving staff - busy talking or doing other things without looking over;
Consistent customer service between staff.
Rooms are nice and clean.
Afternoon tea is generous.
