Just a brief overnight on a business trip. Lovely character building. Decent size free car park. Single room was pleasant and comfortable. Location is in the town, so inevitably some traffic noise specially early morning. Take earplugs if that tends to disturb you. Very friendly staff and good breakfast available from 7am, which was handy as I was travelling further on for a meeting. Highly competitive b&b rate.

Could be so much better

The young lady who welcomed me on arrival didn’t look happy. She gave me brief directions to the room and didn’t want to leave her post. I asked to book a table for dinner but when I arrived in the dinning room, there was no reservation. However, they did fit me in. There was no check back during my meal and I was left for over 25 minutes after finishing. I was going to order a pud but instead had to find someone to sort my bill. It seemed as if it was an off day for the team. At breakfast I ordered Eggs Benedict but the muffin wasn’t fresh. My stay could have been so much better, which greatly frustrates me.

The lack of lifts and the layout of the rooms is very inconvenient and confusing. My fault for not checking but there is no AC which made for a warm room. However the staff was very accommodating and breakfast was nice.

A night at The Lion and Swan

Beautiful well thought out rooms. Well decorated and spotlessly clean. Our king room had a slipper bath with privacy screen and a beautiful wetroom with twin sinks ,shower, toilet and lovely fluffy towels. The Lion and Swan is in Congleton town center, with free car parking a large dining lounge area, restaurant and bar. A comprehensive menu and our meals,both dinner and breakfast ,were really very good. There is also an adjoining Pecks restaurant with its own menu offering high end dining. The staff compliment the premises and were efficient, friendly and happy.

We could not see a reason why this Hotel has been given a 4* rating. Whist the bedroom was warm, clean and comfortable, it was small and part of the TV was behind the cupboard. The lounge, the only place to buy food, other than the restaurant with an expensive and limited menu, closed early, at 5pm on the Friday. The staff were pleasant and helpful, but the Hotel was clearly understaffed.
