We came here for my birthday this year based on the menu we saw online and the fact that we’d come here last year and always meant to make it back. I called earlier in the day to check regarding children’s menu and a gluten free menu and was told not to worry as all food is made fresh and there was usually as a minimum a burger and fish a chips that fulfilled this. I enquired whether I had to make a booking for this afternoon and was told to just come down. How I wish We didn’t bother and chose somewhere Else. We were the only ones in the restaurant when we arrived and for a fair duration after, and was told that even though they opened at 5 they wouldn’t take a food order until 6pm. Which is of course fine, so we had ample time to prepare our order and was ready to order as soon as they were ready to take it! We the proceeded to wait 55 minutes before even a peek of food turned up and only because we had asked how long it would be after 45 minutes and again after nearly an hour. When the food came it was luke warm at best, so cold for other diners that it got sent back for a quick dunk back in some oil. Fish was so bland and watery, and the peas came in their own little bowl of water which was nice, nearly as nice as the 4 hairs that we found across the meals, naturally half way through the meal but we darent send anything back with 4 starving children and a very strong Will to get the hell out of there. Please- save yourself the pain of this place and go somewhere Else.

We stayed here recently from the 2nd-5th May and we just wanted to take the time to say how impressed we were with everything. The staff were so friendly, welcoming and helpful. The breakfasts had such an excellent selection, we especially enjoyed the fresh fruit and yoghurt. But the dinners were fantastic too. We ate on the Friday when we arrived, the vegetarian pie was particularly good, and came back early for a roast on the Sunday which we really enjoyed also. The room was absolutely spotless, even inside the cupboards and draws. It was so lovely to open draws to put stuff in and not find dust inside as I often do staying other places. So thank you to the room staff. Thank you to all the staff at The Swan for making our stay so wonderful.

Lovely place, very comfortable room. Excellent meal but, disappointingly, we were unable to get coffee at the end of the meal as they close at 10. This was not obvious and it would have been helpful to get a heads up when they brought the desserts.
