Busy pub, but unfortunately needs updating very tied. Helpful staff and friendly
Was just a stopover on a motorcycle road trip and the Swan was perfectly fine stop clean and all I needed with out of the way parking for the bike.
Staff were nice and helpful, had an OK, average breakfast in the morning.
I also ate here the evening of my stay and this was not great, perhaps between chefs 🤔

The rooms are in a different building from the pub. Old but relatively clean. They were having water problems which was difficult for showering etc, The breakfast hours were limited so we missed out as the place was all locked up when we went to inquire. Staff member was fairly curt and quite rude. They need more staff and a more relaxed attitude with guests. Supper food was acceptable but steak was tough.
It’s basically a pub with rooms attached. Would not stay there again.

Christmas break
This was just a bed for two nights as visiting family for Christmas near by so not much time spoon the room
I have stayed in this hotel a couple of times now. The staff are very friendly and supportive.
It was really hot in my room so they supplied me with a fan for the duration.
The food was amazing, well tasty as was the breakfast.
I would definitely recommend this to anyone who requires good quality service

Covenant stop over
The swan is situated next to a rail line/station and this is busy line with a crossing with gates and an alarm to notify drivers of the gate closing. All necessary for safety and by no means the fault of the swan, but made for a noisy stay.
Room was fine and clean but would not choose to stay again. Lots of workman staying. restaurant on site so handy for meals.
