Excellent location two minutes walk from the Iron Bridge. The pub does excellent food also. Our room was clean, comfortable and overlooked the river. Absolutely stunning, would love to visit again!
Was in Ironbridge for the regatta and The Swan is in a perfect location. Friendly staff, nice breakfast (taken at Malt House 100m up road). Live music on Saturday and good food as well

Black mould and water damage in family room. Very loud music played until around 10.30pm below family room with two children.
It was our first time in The Swan but wont be our last. Rooms were clean comfortable. Good value for money. Breakfast was in the sister hotel a short walk down the street and was superb. Will definitely come back.
I really enjoyed our stay at the swan. Staff nice, when booking in he took us to our rooms, and was chatting,it's the little things that count. Looking forward to returning hopefully for longer. Thank you for the stay .
Great stay. Room was clean, cosy, old with beams. It’s an old building so creaky floorboards and little corridors/stairs. A small amount of parking available. Breakfast was good and served at a pub/hotel a couple of doors down. Excellent value for the price and would absolutely stay again
Old building(s) with charm, nice breakfast a couple of houses down the road, friendly staff. Bed could have been better, would have prefered individual duvets. Mind your head if you're tall.
Great location, staff very attentive, good food, bathroom could do with an update and WiFi signal doesn't make it to the room so had to utilise downstairs
Excellent stay in Ironbridge, with the property in a great location with on site parking.
Breakfast included in the price was outstanding and we even ate at the smokehouse for dinner, which was very tasty.
Nice view of the river out the room window.
Only downside was the low beams and ceilings around the rooms but only an issue as I’m quite tall.
Room was clean and tidy. Lighting wasn't brilliant, eco friendly bulbs = poor lighting.
Food and service were excellent.
Room was looking out over the river Severn.

Quiet and quirky but dripping tap and crack in sink and luke hot water in bath
An interesting pub with decent food, ideally situated for the iron bridge 10 mins walk away, and the museums . My room was comfortable and warm enough given the -5c outside. it had a part glass floor with industrial archeology visible through it.
It's a very grubby place, filthy carpets, poorly maintained, no proper shower, poor housekeeping standards. The rooms require full renovation and to be thoroughly cleaned.
This is an quirky building which was excellent value and amazing breakfasts . Only negative for me was the whirlpool bath it was dirty in the jets and did not inspire me to use it at all . Suggestion for the property is to remove and install new baths or even better a shower
The carpet leading from the bar to the rooms was absolutely filthy. My colleague's room and mine both had baths only with a shower head on a hose. All the sealant around the bath was damaged or black mould stained. The beds weren't very comfy at all, I had a bad nights sleep. The whole place needs a massive update.

OK for 2 nights
Short 2 day trip. Room was OK with a traditional feel to it. However still could have done with a little updating without detracting from the original features. Bathroom tired and in desparate need of a proper shower. Bar had good selection of reasonably priced beers and an impressive food menu. Food we ordered was good value and very tasty.

Our second stay and would come back but downside is no shower and the bathroom was dated and sink full of hairs which wasn’t pleasant. The lighting in our room was poor. An extra lamp maybe by the mirror so you can see what you’re doing would be helpful. The service and staff were excellent. Dining was really good too. Lovely restaurant space. Breakfast is at the neighbouring Malthouse. Whilst food was good service was very poor, the tea/coffee facilities were dreadful. Had to ask for clean cups ( no saucers),only used teaspoons, this whole area looked unclean and let the whole stay down. It really wouldn’t take much to rectify this. Our last stay breakfast was lovely, waitress service, clean and had no complaints.
What a little gem! We Loved this place . It is in a great location and we had the attic room with a beautiful view over the river. Although the room was a little dated it was exceptionally clean and comfortable and the staff were really helpful. Parking was free which was a bonus a we could leave the car whilst we went exploring the gorgeous village and river walks.
Breakfast included was served at the sister pub about 100 yards down the road, the choice was superb with extremely generous helpings.
We would highly recommend this for quality and great value for money and would definitely book again.
