We chose this hotel as it was promoted as dog friendly and we were visiting the area for hikes with our pup. Overall we enjoyed our stay. We thought the food in the restaurant was really great - especially the Sunday roast! Parking was included which was great, and there's a really nice trail right from the property that was perfect for morning strolls. The staff were very friendly and the room was spacious and nice. We did feel that overall the establishment was understaffed and it led to a subpar experience in some ways. We were constantly left waiting in the restaurant for orders to be taken and things were forgotten on numerous occasions. At the spa, they let way too many people in and it was overcrowded, loud and not relaxing. There wasn't even a spot on the wall to lean on in the hot tubs. This was a bit disappointing as its a lovely spa and has so much potential. Only sharing this feedback in hopes some small changes could be made to bring the hotel up to it's full potential!

Staff are fantastic- extremely helpful and friendly. Breakfast a little chaotic. If you’re not early you can be waiting 45mins for food and they ran out of eggs during our stay. Also almost all of our group of 16 had to have tepid or cold showers which was also disappointing. That said we enjoyed our stay and we’d go back.

We’ve been to the Swan a few times over the past few years. It’s a real shame to see such a nice hotel be neglected. It is in dire need of a refurb. Peeling wall paper in the bar area, mold on the bedrooms and restaurant, hall lights not working. We were so disappointed, especially as they market themselves as a high-end hotel

Please stay elsewhere

Just got home really upset. Saved up to take my mum as a special treat. We arrived and checked into our “lovely room”. There is nothing lovely about this room. It was filthy. I was embarrassed to take my mum. I’m not one to complain and feel awkward in doing so so didn’t say anything. Had we been asked how everything was then I would’ve said but we weren’t even asked on checking out how we found everything. First the room was shocking , drafty and in desperate need of a full makeover. It’s tired, paint chipping, dirty marks all over, really grubby heavily stained carpet. Filthy radiator, who knows what we were breathing in from it. Heavily marked area where the tea and coffee pot were. No slippers, robes or bottled water as advertised . Windows were like a health hazard, black mould, really cold draft coming through, heavily disguised with shutters. We went to the spa, same again, dirty. Foam scum in the pool. Used cups, food containers and plastic glasses littered everywhere, on tables, around the pool, outside, towels everywhere. We were in there for 2hrs and they were still there when we left! Restaurant food was ok but expensive. The waiter was very nice. He was the best thing about it. The hotel was cold and drafty. My mum gets cold so he sat us at “the warmest table” in the restaurant as it was next to a radiator…this wasn’t on! The fires were out in the evening. We had to go back up and put an extra layer on to sit in the bar area as it was that drafty.

I had high hopes for the hotel given its social media presence but found it in need of a bit of tlc. The food and drink were really overpriced, we waited 45 minutes for breakfast then when asking if all was ok found the order had been lost and there was another 20 minute wait. Staff were not very attentive. Our room was a bit rough around the edges and not the particularly clean the saving grace was the size and comfort of the bed
