The Swan Inn in Cotswold

The pub/hotel is on the High Street, a few minutes walk to all the shops, restaurants and other pubs in Moreton-in-Marsh. We had a four-poster double room (no.3) on the first floor. Although quite compact, it had almost everything needed for our one-night stay. The bed was very comfortable, and a fan and oil heater were provided. The double-glazing was very efficient so the room was quiet even though it overlooked a busy road. The shower room was huge, with a powerful shower, lots of hot water, fluffy towels and a bathrobe. There was a kettle with tea etc and biscuits, but we couldn't work out how to use the Nespresso machine. There were enough sockets for our chargers. The breakfast choice was extensive and the food really excellent (best cheese omelette I have had in years; my husband's full veggie breakfast was also good). There is a small car park, although there is free parking on the high street anyway. The pub/hotel garden looked pretty, but it was raining, so we didn't try it.

We had a pleasant time at Swan Inn. Staff nice and friendly,clean restaurant, quiet. We had the Sunday Lunch menu of Beef ,Yorkshire pudding,veg,roast potatoes,gravy. Lamb and Pork also on offer. Reasonably priced at approx £15. All in all a nice meal.

A nice experience that matches the atmosphere of the trip I took. The place is old but comfortable and nice. We faced a problem, which is that the room was hot and the ventilation was limited. There is very little lighting in the room at night, so I recommend adding some side lighting.

Fantastic landlady and team. Food is fab. Service brilliant. Best pub in moreton xxx

Lamb shank and cottage pie were lovely. Shame that the other couple in their were having a loud video call and spoilt the atmosphere.

We recently stayed at this hotel for one night and had a generally positive experience. The owners were incredibly lovely and kind, making us feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. The room was spacious enough for three adults and a baby, and the hotel provided a travel cot for our little one. The room was clean, and we appreciated the convenience of having an espresso capsule coffee machine. Breakfast was delightful, with a dining area that exuded the cozy charm of a grandmother’s house, making for a very pleasant start to our day. However, there were a few drawbacks. The lighting in the room at night was quite dim, which made it a bit challenging to see properly. Additionally, the noise from passing cars made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Despite the presence of a small fan, the room was quite hot, which added to our discomfort during the night.

Informal place with not so clean rooms. We eat well.

Popped in for a quick refresher drink due to how warm it was and was quite surprised how nice this pub is.

The menu on the website does not correspond to what is actually available. Chicken burger on their website menu says £10, when the pub is actually charging £14.50. Same for sandwiches, those are at least £2 more expensive. No seasoning at all on the chicken itself or the chips made this a very basic burger maybe worth a £10.00. Badly misleading if you’re not local and looking for a place to eat while passing through. Would not recommend and would not return.

Really enjoyed our late lunch/early tea here. Definitely worth the visit.

Food and staff were excellent 👌, very quiet when we went in.

Honestly lovely place, I love it here, il always keep coming back xx 100 out of 100 xx honestly if you want a nice food or a chat or a game of pool they do the lot xx

Good pub to watch sky sports when in Moreton in Marsh.

Really cozy place. Among other things, we spent three nights in the family room (number 7). The room is quiet, pleasant and the view is great. I liked the large stone window where you could peek in (to sit comfortably) with your morning coffee. Looking out of the bathroom window, we see a bird of prey on the roof. After he didn't move for days, we realized that he was a statue :)))) The breakfast was also delicious, with an adequate selection. Room 8 has a single bed, small but adequate, and room 3 has a double bed with a canopy. The latter is very cozy, although a bit musty.

Nice place with a great garden and helpful if dressed staff. Food not much to write home about though.

What fabulousness! This charming Cotswold Inn has bedrooms which are comfortable with character. Food Menu which is traditional but oh it’s very delicious especially the Roast Beef on Sunday or the Ham, Egg and Chips when you just want it to be simple. The team whom work from Breakfast through to Dinner where it is not to much trouble are absolutely lovely so if your wanting to experience a truly English Country Inn within a delightful Town then this one is a must as it’s my preferred choice when I’m in the area again.

Friday 17th May 2024, My husband and I were on our way back home from Devon and we made a stop in Morton-In-The-Marsh or dinner at ‘The Swan Inn’. We arrived and parked out car in the car park. We entered this mellow golden brick hotel, which had a rather faded old fashioned elegance of a bye-gone age. We were greeted by Simon who said that they were fully booked, but would squeeze us in for which we were truly grateful as we had been travelled for four and a half hours. Simon found us a nice table for two and brought over the menus for us to look at. We perused this and made out choices and ordered our food and drinks. My husband for his main course had gammon with two fried eggs served with peas and chunky chips, which he said was very nice and filling. For my main course I had scampi, peas and chips served with tartar sauce, which was delicious. We washed all this lovely food down with pint of ‘Shag Weaver’ bitter for Mark and a pint of ‘Aspinals’ cider for me. We both had desserts. My husband had the apple and blackberry crumble served with thick custard, which he said was the perfect finish to his meal. I had the chocolate orange truffle sponge with single cream (which was Sex on a plate) and was really delicious, and finished my meal off perfectly. We spend a nice two hours here relaxing and enjoying the atmosphere. My husband and I did not want to leave, but we had to. We then continued our journey back home to Birmingham.

I'm all for a bit of patriotism but this tweaks my OCD every time! The landlord is flying a Union Flag at the front but why, oh why, I mean WHY? is he flying it upside down? A well known sign of distress! Be patriotic, but know some basics. #noexcuse

Staff not very welcoming I asked to taste a beer the barman didn't look very pleased when I asked this he was more interested in serving the locals both bar staff looked and acted like they was rather somewhere else will not visit again

First time visiting the swan and my partner and I absolutely loved it! The restaurant area is very cosy. We were greeted straight away by the bar man, who was very chatty and friendly throughout the evening! He even said goodbye before he finished his shift which we both thought was a lovely touch. The food was amazing! We each had 3 courses. There was plenty on the menu for us to choose from. If we are ever in the area again we will definitely be back! Thank you!

Pies are sooooo good. Proper portion to make you full😇

Lovely place stopped for drink. Friendly, Clean and not expensive

Just dropped in for a pint and game of pool. Friendly pub.

Went in as a group of 6 for a meal, was not very welcoming but decided to get some food. Messed up all 6 meals, and one meal didn’t come out at all despite waiting an hour. Could not even order another drink during the wait as staff could not multitask. Would not recommend

I stayed here for a night and ate dinner and breakfast. Small comfortable single room. Good choice on the menu. I had ham, egg and chips followed by some crumble. Delicious. Local Shagweaver beer on tap, also delicious. I had a small cooked breakfast and that was also delicious. Friendly staff and service was excellent.

Great food,service was great and very friendly staff

Stayed at The Swan for three nights and highly recommend it. The breakfast can't be beaten, and was afforded a welcoming reception by the staff and the entertaining locals. The rooms are well equipped and of a high standard. Can't fault the place.

50 min wait for a portion of chips in the bar. staff not particularly friendly. Wouldn't go again.

Context: I have family in Moreton so we used this as a base while visiting. I picked The Swan because of its proximity to the family house. We loved our stay and The Swan met and exceeded our expectations. The landlady and her staff (it's a family business) bent over backwards to ensure we were comfortable and our every need met. We were staying on a B&B basis so had breakfast in the morning. We opted for the veggie full English which was absolutely delicious (Other options available). The rooms are comfortable and exactly what we were looking for in a base. Honestly, we could not have asked for more. Our stay was at Christmas and they even left a couple of little snifters and some shortbread for us. It was a perfect stay! Thoroughly recommended!

Went in the bar no heating no atmosphere will.not be returning.

Kitchens a disgrace I delivered there would eat there if it was free

The roast lamb was the worst meal I have ever eaten out, this makes toby carvery a 5 star restaurant. The broccoli was going off, and was rock hard, frozen roast potatoes and meat was awful and chewy, everyone at the table was disappointed! Didn’t even look appetising. The table was not cleaned before sitting, the table also looked like it had chucked missing and clearly needed new ones. The staff were however pleasant and friendly.

Only had a drink in the bar, due to having our dog with us. Intended to return a day or 2 later to eat but now won’t. Bar staff were somewhat miserable and other clientele, who I would strongly suspect were regulars, were loud and uncouth, shouting and swearing across the entire bar space.

Skittles was a nice evening for the Christmas get together.needs a tidy up and food and service needs sorting

excellent food, friendly atmosphere

Very friendly staff Welcome atmosphere

Popped in for breakfast, on Sunday morning, they allowed my dog in on the bar side. Lovely full English breakfast on Sunday, what could be better.

Nice place, I went in the bar for a pint of Guinness which was wonderful. Small bar area with a pool table. Staff were friendly. Good visit.

Very nice food served with charm by nice people, what else could you ask for

My wife and I ate there tonight. It's not as swanky as some of the other places in MIM but nor are the prices. We both had a steak (1 sirloin,1 rib-eye) and both were excellent, really tasty and perfectly cooked. Along with a bottle of shiraz it came to a little over £60, great value for money.

Four of us Stopped for a quick pint on the way home from a long road trip . Had to wait for 5 minutes for the barmaid to appear. Drinks was fine after the short wait. Nice friendly pub . Enjoy 🍻🍻

Traditional old pub with restaurant and bar, the food was delicious, bar is dog friendly!

Bit ropey, very much a local pub for local people. Downed our drinks and left.

Great Hotel. Host's and staff made us feel very welcome. Beautiful rooms, very clean with comfy beds, tv, coffee and tea facilities in room. Dinner in restaurant excellent my steak was perfectly cooked 4 of us for dinner all choosing something different all the food was excellent wine great and service with a smile. Would definitely stay here again our Host's and staff made our long weekend a lovely memorable experience. The breakfast included with the room was best I've eaten all produce from local farms in area supplied by local butchers.

Staff very helpful and friendly.Breakfast really nice all local produce.Only negative thing bar shut at 10pm,

Decent liitle pub in the centre of Moreton in Marsh, pleasent staff and a decent selection of beers.

We came here yesterday for lunch, and so glad we did. The food was excellent, the service was very good, efficient, warm, friendly, and very welcoming. Very clean and pleasant surroundings. We are definitely planning to do return visits, very worthwhile, so we would very highly recommend The Swan Inn, many thanks to you all *****!!!!!!

Lovely place fab rib eye and t bone very friendly place

Small pub limited menu. But the food they severed was a good size, quality and flavour. Would come again

My husband and I were staying at a nearby Hotel and walked over to The Swan for dinner. The bartender was pulling double duty as a server as well as bartending. He was very friendly. I ordered the ribeye and my husband ordered the t-bone. Both were really good.

Rough pub with a scattering of locals who wouldn't look out of place in Fred West's family. Red-faced, scary-looking man hollered something rude as we walked in and asked us if we wanted to tie someone up with a cable tie he was holding. We walked straight out and went to The Bell instead.

Great place to stay with lovely breakfast. Good value for money

Great choice of Real ale. Very nice and good value food.. Website needs updating for menus. Didn't spoil our evening.

Lovely cream tea. Excellent surroundings, comfortable and friendly. Good service.

Sat in bar that was more like a games room to eat a meal! Food was ok. Bar was very noisy. Don't visit with dogs or children as the bar is not accommodating for them.

Lunch was very good indeed, the staff were friendly and decor very nice. Definitely worth a visit when in Moreton.

Food good,staff great,bed a room very comfortable .Big village with nice bar and food places, The village has a train station if you don't want to drive Happy to stay at The Swan again

Went for dinner. The food was very good.

Welcoming pub right on the main road. Full of locals drinking great beer

Nice place. Nice steak baguette and chips. Only 2 draught ales on though which is a shame

Fabulous sausage and mash, we have it every time we pass through Moreton. Great pub

Lovely friendly pub. Open fire.

Fantastic staff that went out of their way. Food great for a family. All round lovely.

Return visit as our last visit was very good . Was not dissapointed very tasty food. Friendly staff and being dog friendly helped as we don't like having to leave our old boy. We were in the bar and although the tables are a little sparce the food made up for it.

Food is a reasonable price and worth a visit on the restaurant side, does pub grub and its nice with a pint. The public drinking side has a nice fire and the staff are welcoming, the bar area needs an update and could feel warmer in it's appearance, sky TV is a plus and it's dog friendly, the choice of beers is good and it's worth a visit..

Great pub, nice rooms and the staff were very pleasant. Also the breakfast was very good. I would definitely recommend.

Had I lovely breakfast highly recommended friends staff

Greeted by a lovely lady who was very friendly. Ordered our food veggie lasagne and rib eye steak . They both were tasty. Would visit again for sure !

Lovely, comfy, cozy place to stay. Room clean and comfortable. Nice restaurant, good food.

Excellent place . warm welcoming and attention Sara, Norishia and Shad make your stay pleasant.

Stopped for a cola as I was thirsty on a long bike ride Thanks.

Looked really nice on the website but websites can be miss leading. Me and my sister went for lunch, ordered a bottle of wine and was told we only have one wine glass, so and gave us gin glasses.. ahhh. I ordered the Chilli con carne and chips, it arrived with rice, staff member did apologise and returned 5 mins later with chips. The chilli was disgusting the worst meal I have ever eaten out. It tasted and had the texture of that it had come out of a tin and flavours had been add. The portion was so small, and it came in a mini plastic pot.... probably so it can go it the microwave. Staff not professional.....we could hear swearing from the kitchen...even the F word. Got a refund and went to the Redesdale, that was busier, but I could see why.

Geat pub with a fantastic atmosphere

Disappointing - room was not too clean and in need of refurbishing.

Good location. Beer cold. Not an old fashioned pub but comfy pub with pool table and sky tv.

Friendly staff and great service.

Went for Sunday lunch. Ordered starter and main course. Starter was delicious thoroughly enjoyed it. Looking forward to a Sunday roast but unfortunately the meat was tough.

Bar lady, so polite and chatty. Great drink choice. Wish we visited this pub earlier on our holiday.

Nice and clean good for afternoon tea

Stopped by for lunch and really enjoyed the relaxing seating in the beer garden out back. We ordered at the bar and they delivered our food to our table. They notified us that our food may take more than a few minutes to prepare. Nobody should be in a big rush on a beautiful day in the Cotswolds anyway. A Sea Fury ale and an Inch Cider were a perfect accompaniment to our Jacket Potatoes with Bacon and Cheese.

Was close to the Moreton in Marsh CMC site. I had booked a table in the bar as we were accompanied by our two dogs. But there local lads in after work were a bit raucous & language was not acceptable so I asked to eat in the beer garden as it was a nice evening. We had the garlic mushrooms & prawn cocktail to start good portions & tasty. To follow I opted for the gammon my wife chilli con carne both I would class as good pub grub. On the whole good meal in a friendly pub

Food was not great, customer service was worse

We had a lovely lunch,the staff apologised,for the wait,but it was one of the hottest days 34deg,it was well worth the wait,

Very poor. Service was shockingly poor. My daughter's drink had something floating in it. When we asked for a replacement I think they forgot. Waited ages. Food terrible. Fish and chips were awful, Fish tasted like water. No taste. Sausage seemed like they were microwaved. So hard on the outside. Perhaps cooked from frozen. No-one came to us after the meal was delivered. We didn't get a second drink because we were not asked. We didn't order desert because we were not asked, no-one came near us. I would not have ordered another thing from there anyway but that's beside the point. I asked for the bill, it didn't come so I went to the bar. When I went to pay the waitress, she never asked me how our meal was. When I said actually the food was not good she immediately snapped that she would pass on my feedback. I made her aware that she had not even asked me what was wrong with the meal. How could she pass on my feedback? So I fed back! The service was shocking and the food was SO poor. There was a lack of atmosphere. My daughter's burger was nice though. The waitress had no interest in my complaint. Very dismissive. Lacks customer care skills. She is CLEARLY used to hearing it. Water off a duck's back. Save your palates and wallets. A total waste of money.

The staff were helpful, efficient and friendly. The breakfasts, which were included in the price, were excellent. The room was small but good value for money, though noisy on the third (Friday) evening. I would definitely be happy to stay there again.

Great food, good prices. loved the cottage pie. Lovely atmosphere

Popped in for Lunch on a day trip to Moreton In Marsh. Food was excellent and Staff very welcoming. Lovely place

Took long on bar service and only one small pool cue was worth using.

Wish could have stayed there it lovely maybe another time.

The food here at the various meals I ate in the restaurant during my stay was uninspiring at best, and mostly poor.

Booked a table for 13th June at 6.30 pm, as we have a dog we had to go into the bar,the table that had been reserved for us was covered in cigarette papers and tobacco, the girl behind the bar removed this but left the table covered in beer, we moved to another table, we ordered our meals,I had a curry, very average, my wife ordered Fish and chips, the fish looked like it was frozen and out of a packet,to say it was bad was an understatement, even the dog turned her nose up at it,never once asked if meal was ok,not even when I paid the bill,to top it all we had to put up with the local workmen swearing constantly, would not recommend to my worst enemy.

We had an evening meal here and Sunday lunch and the food was good and reasonably priced. The staff here are friendly and attentive. We would recommend.

Very nice atmosphere. Great staff and great priced food

Had a really nice meal. We would recommend the pub. Nice friendly atmosphere and friendly staff it is also dog friendly even though you do have to eat in the bar but I think that the rule in most pubs. Prices are reasonable too.

Excellent food and great service. Would definitely recommend.

Great little pub and restaurant. Food is reasonably priced.

We had a Sunday lunch here with friends and had a very pleasant meal. There were elements of it that weren't perfect (the roasties, distressingly) but the menu was good and it was nice to see gluten free desserts on offer. Staff were very busy so we ended up clearing our table ourselves so we could enjoy our drinks, but they were perfectly pleasant.

Beautiful full English breakfast, locally sourced and perfectly cooked.

Nice pub good selection of beer Nice garden
