This was a stunning hotel both for rooms, food and service. It's location was fantastic for the castle. We were warmly greeted on arrival by Harry then had great meals over the next 2 evenings and the included breakfasts comprised both continental and cooked. You helped yourself to the continental and ordered the cooked. All meals were exceptional quality, reasonably priced and served with genuine smiles. When the staff asked whether everything was good, they were actually interested in the answer and would have corrected anything not right. Yvonne served us breakfast and offered to get us an early breakfast when we had to depart early. This pub had the best atmosphere and service in the village. Stunningly good.

The swan sets the bar for all others!

This was a fantastic and enjoyable stay right in the heart of arundel and only a few paces from the castle. The staff were very friendly and nothing seemed too much trouble. The breakfast was simply amazing with fresh fruit cereals and a full English was of excellent taste and quality and even included black pudding! Fresh milk on a thermos flask for the bedroom read was a really nice touch and so much better to make a cup of tea than those little tins of long life in most rooms. Now I want all hotels to do this. The bed was comfortable and everything was very clean. The swan sets the bar for all other hotels! Thank you.

The swan was one of the best hotels I've stayed at. The building, rooms, and location were beautiful, well taken care of, and thoughtfully curated. The staff range from quite friendly to fantastically friendly and the breakfast was exceptional. Thanks for having us, we'll be back someday for a longer stay.

Almost perfect

Arundel is such a stunning place to visit and The Swan Hotel is a great base to see it from. I can’t fault the check in or the service, both were excellent. The breakfast was really superb and the quality of teas and coffees in the room was really very good. I’ve taken off one star because our room was cramped and had a very small window making it quite dark, plus the shower drained very slowly meaning it overflowed a bit. I would definitely return but I’d make a better choice of room next time, one which offered more space.

Nice place but rooms need a refresh

Loved Arundel. The Swan Hotel was clean, but room was pokey and in need of a refresh, decoration and a new carpet. Bed was real comfy. Breakfast was amazing, very tasty amount and quality. Very good service at breakfast...did wait a while but it was worth it when it arrived. Overall not a bad deal.
